QuestionandQuery17

course Phy 202

I am working on assignment 18 but in the lab Bottle Thermometer but I don't know how to set up the pressure indicating tube. Could you explain the set up in more detail.

.................................................X??????????y?{??

Refer back to the experiment 'Measuring Atmospheric Pressure' for a detailed description of how the pressure-indicating tube is constructed for the 'stopper' version of the experiment.

For the bottle-cap version, the pressure-indicating tube is the second-longest tube. The end inside the bottle should be open to the gas inside the bottle (a few cm of tube inside the bottle is sufficient) and the other end should be capped.

I've added a few lines of additional explanation and a picture in the lab instructions.

Query set 5 problems 16-20

explain how we calculate the average force exerted by a particle of mass m moving at speed v which collides at a time interval `dt elastically and at a right angle with a solid wall

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

First you find the `dv of a round trip of the particle by 2*v.

Then multiply the mass by the change in velocity to get the momentum.

The momentum is divided by time interval `dt to get the ave force.

`questionNumber 170000

** The impulse exerted on a particle in a collision is the change in the momentum of that particle during a collision.

The impulse-momentum theorem says that the change in momentum in a collision is equal to the impulse, the average force * the time interval between collisions.

The average force is thus change in momentum / time interval; the time interval is the round-trip distance divided by the velocity, or 2L / v so the average force is -2 m v / ( 2L / v) = m v^2 / L

If there were N such particles the total average force would be N * m v^2 / L

If the directions are random we distribute the force equally over the 3 dimensions of space and for one direction we get get 1/3 the force found above, or 1/3 N * m v^2 / L.

This 3-way distribution of force is related to the fact that for the average velocity vector we have v^2 = vx^2 + vy^2 + vz^2, where v is average magnitude of velocity and vx, vy and vz the x, y and z components of the velocity (more specifically the rms averages--the square root of the average of the squared components). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

In the question I thought the mass overall was known. The number of particles needs to be multiplied by the mass/particle.

If the directions are random you divide the total force by the number of directions to get the ave force.

`questionNumber 170000

** Work-energy is conserved within an isolated system. So the thermal energy that goes into the system must equal the total of the work done by the system and the thermal energy removed from the system. What goes in must come out, either in the form of work or thermal energy. **

Work and energy is conserved within a system. So thermal energy that goes into must equal the work and the thermal engergy dissipated.

`questionNumber 170000

** STUDENT SOLUTION: Efficiency is work done / energy input. Add the amount thermal energy removed to the amount of work done to get the input. Then, divide work by the energy input. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Efficiency is work divided by the energy input.

So the input is found from the sum of the work and the energy removed. So then divide the work by the newly found input.

`questionNumber 170000

Work done at constant pressure is P `dV, so the work done in this situation is

`dW = P `dV = 1 atm * (18.2 m^3 - 12 m^3) = (101.3 * 10^3 N/m^2) * (6.2 m^3) = 630 * 10^3 N * m = 6.3 * 10^5 J.

A total of 1400 kcal = 1400 * 4200 J = 5.9 * 10^6 J of thermal energy is added to the system, the change in internal energy is

`dU = `dQ - `dW = 5.9*10^6 J - 6.3 * 10^5 J = 5.9 * 10^6 J - .63 * 10^6 J = 5.3 * 10^6 J.

It is worth thinking about the P vs. V graph of this process. The pressure P remains constant at 101.3 * 10^3 J as the volume changes from 12 m^3 to 18.2 m^3, so the graph will be a straight line segment from the point (12 m^3, 101.3 * 10^3 J) to the point (18.2 m^3, 101.3 * 10^3 J). This line segment is horizontaland the region above the horizontal axis and beneath the segment is a rectangle whose width is 6.2 * 10^3 m^3 and whose altitude is 101.3 * 10^3 N/m^2; its area is therefore the product of its altitude and width, which is 6.3 * 10^5 N m, or 6.3 * 10^5 J, the same as the word we calculated above.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

`dv = 18.2m^3 -12m^3 = 6.2m^3

W = P`dV

W = 1.013 *10^5 N/m^2 (6.2m^3) = 628060 J

`dU = Q - W

`dU = (5860400J) - ( 628060J)

`dU = 5232340 J

I'm still having problems having only the question show without the answer coming with it.

`questionNumber 170000

When a confined ideal gas is expanded isothermally its pressure and volume change, while the number of moled and the temperature remain constant. Since PV = n R T, it follows that P V remains constant.

In the initial state P = 4.5 atm and V = 1 liter, so P V = 4.5 atm * 1 liter = 4.5 atm * liter (this could be expressed in standard units since 1 atm = 101.3 kPa = 101.3 * 10^3 N/m^2 and 1 liters = .001 m^3, but it's more convenient to first sketch and label the graph in units of atm and liters). During the isothermal expansion, therefore, since P V remains constant we have

P V = 4.5 atm liters. At a pressure of 1 atm, therefore, the volume will be V = 4.5 atm liter / P = 4.5 atm liter / (1 atm) = 4.5 liters.

The graph follows a curved path from (1 liter, 4.5 atm) to (4.5 liters, 1 atm).

At the gas is compressed at constant pressure back to its initial 1 liter volume, the pressure remains constant so the graph follows a horizontal line from (4.5liters, 1 atm) to (1 liter, 1 atm). Note that this compression is accomplished by cooling the gas, or allowing it to cool.

Finally the gas is heated at constant volume until its pressure returns to 4.5 atm. The constant volume dictates that the graph follow a vertical line from (1 liter, 1 atm) back to (4.5 liters, 1 atm).

The graph could easily be relabeled to usestandard metric units.

1 atm = 101.3 kPa = 101.3 * 10^3 Pa = 101.3 * 10^3 N/m^2, so

4.5 atm = 4.5 * 101.3 * 10^3 Pa = 4.6 * 10^3 Pa = 4.6 * 10^3 N/m^2.

1 liter = .001 m^3 so 4.5 liters = 4.5 m^3.

Since P V = 4.5 atm liters, P = 4.5 atm liters / V. This is of the form P = c / V, with c a constant. For positive values of V, this curve descendsfrom a vertical asymptote with the vertical axis (the V axis) through the point (1, c) then approaches a horizontal asymptote with the horizontal axis. For c = 4.5 atm liters, the curve therefore passes through the point (1 liter, 4.5 atm). As we have seen it also passes through (4.5 liters, 1 atm).

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

According to the ideal gas law: PV = n R T. So PV is constant. So if pressure increases volume decreases and if volume increases pressure decreases. A graph can be derived from values so that it appears to a curved like approaching both asymptotes.

P V = 4.5 atm liters. At a pressure of 1 atm, therefore, the volume will be V = 4.5 atm liter / P = 4.5 atm liter / (1 atm) = 4.5 liters.

At the gas is compressed at constant pressure back to its initial 1 liter volume, the pressure remains constant so the graph follows a horizontal line from (4.5liters, 1 atm) to (1 liter, 1 atm). Note that this compression is accomplished by cooling the gas, or allowing it to cool.

Finally the gas is heated at constant volume until its pressure returns to 4.5 atm. The constant volume dictates that the graph follow a vertical line from (1 liter, 1 atm) back to (4.5 liters, 1 atm).

1 atm = 101.3 kPa = 101.3 * 10^3 Pa = 101.3 * 10^3 N/m^2, so

4.5 atm = 4.5 * 101.3 * 10^3 Pa = 4.6 * 10^3 Pa = 4.6 * 10^3 N/m^2.

1 liter = .001 m^3 so 4.5 liters = 4.5 m^3.

Since P V = 4.5 atm liters, P = 4.5 atm liters / V. This is of the form P = c / V, with c a constant. For positive values of V, this curve descendsfrom a vertical asymptote with the vertical axis (the V axis) through the point (1, c) then approaches a horizontal asymptote with the horizontal axis. For c = 4.5 atm liters, the curve therefore passes through the point (1 liter, 4.5 atm). As we have seen it also passes through (4.5 liters, 1 atm).

`questionNumber 170000

** I'll need to look at the graph in the text to give a reliably correct answer to this question. However the gist of the argument goes something like this:

`dQ is the energy transferred to the system, `dW the work done by the system along the path. Along the curved path the system does -35 J of work and -63 J of thermal energy is added--meaning that 35 J of work are done on the system and the system loses 63 J of thermal energy.

If a system gains 35 J of energy by having work done on it while losing 63 J of thermal energy, its internal energy goes down by 28 J (losing thermal energy take internal energy from the system, doing work would take energy from the system so doing negative work adds energy to the system). So between a and c along the curved path the system loses 28 J of internal energy.

In terms of the equation, `dU = `dQ - `dW = -63 J -(-35 J) = -28 J.

It follows that at point c, the internal energy of the system is 28 J less than at point a, and this will be the case no matter what path is followed from a to c.

Along the path a-b-c we have -48 J of work done by the system, which means that the system tends to gain 48 J in the process, while as just observed the internal energy goes down by 28 Joules. The system therefore have `dQ = `dU + `dW = -28 J + (-48 J) = -76 J, and 76 J of internal energy must be removed from the system.**

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

`dU = -63J - -35J = -28J

-28J = Q - -48J

Q = -76

This is as far is I could get.

There were more questions within the questions which I did not understand. However I understand how to find the internal energy and the heat.

`questionNumber 170000

gen phy How are the work done by the system, the thermal energy added to the system and the change in the internal energy of the system related, and what is this relationship have to do with conservation of energy?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

`dU = Q - W

`dU is the internal energy

Q is the thermal energy added

W is the work done.

The equation shows the conservation of energy. As the internal energy changes according to the change in work and thermal energy input. Energy is not gained nor lost in this equation.

`questionNumber 170000

** If a system does work it tends to reduce internal energy, so `dW tends to decrease `dU. If thermal energy is added to the system `dQ tends to increase `dU. This leads to the conclusion that `dU = `dQ - `dW. Thus for example if `dW = -48 J and `dU = -28 J, `dQ = `dU + `dW = -28 J + -48 J = -76 J. **

** Work is the area under the pressure vs. volume curve. If you have half the pressure between two volumes the graph has half the altitude, which leads to half the area.

The 'width' of a region is final volume - initial volume. If the direction of the process is such that final volume is less than initial volume (i.e., going 'backwards', in the negative x direction) then with 'width' is negative and the area is negative. **

I did not understand this before reading the explanation but the explanation of the graph makes more sense. Since work is the area under the P vs V curve if you half the pressure which in turn gives half the area.

`questionNumber 170000

** For an adiabatic process in an ideal gas you know that PV = nRT and PV^`gamma is constant.

You are given P1 and P2, and you want T2 > 273 K to prevent formation of frost.

Assume T2 = P2 V2 / (n R) = 273 K and n R = (P2 V2) / 273 K .

Then T1 = P1 V1 / (n R) = P1 V1 * 273 K / (P2 V2) = (P1 / P2) * (V1 / V2) * 273 K.

Since PV^`gamma = constant it follows that V1 / V2 = (P2 / P1)^(1/`gamma) = (P1 / P2)^(-1/`gamma).
