A container of gas is at a pressure of 3.7 x 10^5 Pa. How much work is done by the gas if its volume expands by 1.6 m^3 ?

592000 J

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 3.7×10⁵ Pa to Kg/ms². This can be obtained as follow:

1 Pa = 1 Kg/ms²

Therefore,

3.7×10⁵ Pa = 3.7×10⁵ Kg/ms²

Next, we shall determine the workdone.

Workdone is given by the following equation:

Workdone (Wd) = pressure (P) × change in volume (ΔV)

Wd = PΔV

With the above formula, the work done can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 3.7×10⁵ Kg/ms²

Change in volume (ΔV) = 1.6 m³

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = PΔV

Wd = 3.7×10⁵ × 1.6

Wd = 592000 Kgm²/s²

Finally, we shall convert 592000 Kgm²/s² to Joule (J). This can be obtained as follow:

1 Kgm²/s² = 1 J

Therefore,

592000 Kgm²/s² = 592000 J

Therefore, the Workdone is 592000 J.

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
