Agas contained in a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes two processes, a and b, between the same end states, 1 and 2, where p1 = 1 bar, v1 = 1 m3, u1 = 400 kj and p2 = 6 bar, v2 = 0.167 m3, u2 = 420 kj: process a: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 6 bar, followed by a constant-pressure process to state 2. process b: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure volume relation is pv = constant. kinetic and potential effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, (a) evaluate the work, in kj, and (b) evaluate the heat transfer, in kj.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

The period of a pendulum varies directly as the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. find the period when the length is 144 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared, if the period is 7pi seconds when the length is 289 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared.

How is the acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion constant? a - in magnitude only b - in direction only c - in both magnitude and direction d - in magnitude, direction & orientation
