Answer:
(a) ΔU=747J
(b) γ=1.3
Explanation:
For (a) change in internal energy
According to first law of thermodynamics the change in internal energy is given as
ΔU=Q-W
Substitute the given values
ΔU=970J-223J
ΔU=747J
For(b) γ for the gas.
We can calculate γ by ratio of heat capacities of the gas
γ=Cp/Cv
Where Cp is the molar heat capacity at constant pressure
Cv is the molar heat capacity at constant volume
To calculate γ we first need to find Cp and Cv
So
For Cp
As we know
Q=nCpΔT
Cp=(Q/nΔT)
From relation of Cv and Cp we know that
Cp=Cv+R
Where R is gas constant equals to 8.314J/mol.K
So
So
γ=Cp/Cv
γ=[(37J/mol.K) / (28.687J/mol.K)]
γ=1.3
Planets in our solar system do not revolve around the sun in perfect circles. Their orbits are more like ovals that scientists describe as elliptical. It is one of Kepler's laws. The sun is the focus of all the planets. The correct answer is D.
Answer:
800 N
Explanation:
By Newton's third law which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So, as the earth attracts the person towards its center, the person attracts the earth towards itself with the same magnitude of force but in the opposite direction.
Since the person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force, the the earth is attracted toward the person with an 800 N reaction force.
If you remember the formula for potential energy,
then this question is a piece-o-cake.
<em>Potential energy = (mass) x (<u>acceleration of gravity</u>) x (height) .</em>
-- The object's mass is the same everywhere.
-- You said that the height is the same both times.
-- How about the acceleration of gravity ?
Compared to gravity on Earth, it's only 16.5 percent as much on the Moon.
So naturally, from the formula, you'd expect the Potential Energy to be less
on the Moon.
No, gravity acts equally on all objects. The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size. A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly. In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.
