In an adiabatic process oxygen gas in a container is compressed along a path that can be described by the following pressure p,

in atm, as a function of volume V, in liters: p = p0 V-6/5. Here p0 is a constant of units atm⋅L6/5. show answer Incorrect Answer 50% Part (a) Write an expression for the work W done on the gas when the gas is compressed from a volume Vi to a volume Vf.

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of gas , work done

W = ∫ p dV , p is pressure and dV is small change in volume

the limit of integration is from Vi to Vf .

= ∫ p dV

= ∫ p₀ $V^{-\frac{6}{5}$ dV

= p₀ $V^{-\frac{6}{5} +1}$ / ( $\frac{-6}{5} +1$ )

= - 5p₀ $V^{-\frac{1}{5}$

Taking limit from Vi to Vf

W = - 5 p₀ ( $V_f^\frac{-1}{5} - V_i^{\frac{-1}{5}$ ) ltr- atm.

A 20 watt lightbulb uses 20 Joules of energy every second.A person expends 50 watts of energy per stair when climbing up stairs.

Pachacha [2.7K]

20W = 20 J/s

Energy expended during climbing stairs = 50 W of energy/stair = 50J/stair

For 20 stairs, Total energy = 50x20 = 1000 J

This can light bulbs for, T= 1000J/20 J/s =50 seconds

An astronaut weighs 8.00 × 102 newtons on the sur- face of Earth. What is the weight of the astronaut 6.37 × 106 meters above th

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$mg=200.4 N$ .

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation: $F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ ,

where F is the gravitational force between two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , $r$ is the distance between the masses (their center of mass), and $G=6.674*10^{-11}(m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2})$ is the gravitational constant.

We know the weight of the astronout on the surface, with this we can find his mass. Letting $w_{s}$ be the weight on the surface:

$w_{s}=mg$ ,

$mg=8*10^{2}$ ,

$m=(8*10^{2})/g$ ,

since we now that $g=9.8m/s^{2}$ we get that the mass is

$m=81.6kg$ .

Now we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

where $m$ is the mass of the astronaut and $M$ is the mass of the earth. From Newton's second law we know that

$F=ma$ ,

in this case the acceleration is the gravity so

$F=mg$ , (<u>becarefull, gravity at this point is no longer</u> $9.8m/s^{2}$ <u>because we are not in the surface anymore</u>)

and this get us to

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ , where $mg$ is his new weight.

We need to remember that the mass of the earth is $M=5.972*10^{24}kg$ and its radius is $6.37*10^{6}m$ .

The total distance between the astronaut and the earth is

$r=(6.37*10^{6}+6.37*10^{6})=2(6.37*10^{6})=12.74*10^{6}$ meters.

Now we can compute his weigh:

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

$mg=(6.674*10^{-11})\frac{(5.972*10^{24})(81.6)}{(12.74*10^{6})^{2}}$ ,

$mg=200.4 N$ .

A force of 150 N accelerates a 25 kg wooden chair across a wood floor at 4.3 m/s2 . How big is the frictional force on the block

solniwko [45]

We can first calculate the net force using the given information.

By Newton's second law, F(net) = ma:

F(net) = 25 * 4.3 = 107.5

We can now calculate the frictional force, f, which is working against the applied force, F(app) (this is why the net force is a bit lower):

f = F(net) - F(app) = 150 - 107.5 = 42.5 N

Now we can calculate the coefficient of friction, u, using the normal force, F(N):

f = uF(n) --> u = f/F(N)
u = 42.5/[25(9.8)]
u = 0.17
