An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several possible processes. which of the following processes results in the most work done on the gas? a. adiabatic b. isobaric c . isothermal d. the work done is independent of the process.

Option a. Adiabatic

Explanation:

Adiabatic system is one in which there is no exchange of mass and heat in between the system and its surrounding and the only transfer is in the form of work done.

In this process the internal energy of the system depends on the temperature and increases with the increase in temperature and as there is no exchange of heat between surrounding and system temperature as well as internal energy of the thermodynamic system increases.

Therefore, the work done not only compresses the gas but it is utilized in raising system's internal energy.

Thus, it is in adiabatic process that results in most work done on the gas.

the answer would be 32*f

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
