Given Solution: ** 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). ** STUDENT QUESTION I'm not sure why you multiply the velocity by 2. I understand multiplying the distance by 2 to make the round trip. INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE The given solution doesn't multiply the velocity by 2. The solution does, however, involve change in momentum and that results in a factor of 2. The momentum changes from + m v to - m v when the particle bounces off the wall. The change in momentum is change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum = -mv - mv = - 2 mv. The 2 in -2 m v results from a subtraction, not a doubling.

.............................................
Given Solution: ** 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. ** Your Self-Critique:ok Your Self-Critique rating #$&*:3 ********************************************* Question: If you know the work done by a thermodynamic system during a cycle and the thermal energy removed or dissipated during the cycle, how would you calculate the efficiency of the cycle?

Find work and chagne in internal energy. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: Delta W = P Delta V = 1 atm x (18.2 m^3 - 12 m^3) = (101.3 x 10^3 N/m^2) x (6.2 m^3) = 630 x 10^3 N x m = 6.3 x 10^5 J A total of 1400 kcal = 1400 x 4200 J = 5.9 x 10^6 J of thermal energy is added to the system, the change in internal energy is Delta U = Delta Q – Delta W = 5.9x10^6 J - 6.3 x 10^5 J = 5.9 x 10^6 J - .63 x 10^6 J = 5.3 x 10^6 J confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: 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.

Sketch and label graph. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: I have the graph on graph paper in my notebook. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: 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).

Your Solution: `dU = `dQ - `dW = -63 J -(-35 J) = -28 J. 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. Delta Q = Delta U + Delta W = -28 J + (-48 J) = -76 J confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** 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.** STUDENT COMMENT: I don’t understand the transition from the first step in which we found the work of the system and the energy not used and then the second part where you combine this thermal energy with the work done in the second part of the system. Why would you combine energy lost to work done? INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE During a complete cycle, energy is put into the system. The cycle ends in the same energy state as it began. So the energy put into the system has to go somewhere; it isn't retained by the system. Some of this energy is converted to mechanical work. Whatever isn't converted to mechanical work has to be removed from the system (for example, as exhaust). Your Self-Critique:ok Your Self-Critique rating #$&*:3 ********************************************* Question: 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? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: `dW decreases `dU. `dQ increases `dU. This shows that `dU = `dQ - `dW confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** If a system does work it tends to reduce internal energy, so `dW tends to decrease `dU. If thermal energy is added to the system `dQ tends to increase `dU. This leads to the conclusion that `dU = `dQ - `dW. Thus for example if `dW = -48 J and `dU = -28 J, `dQ = `dU + `dW = -28 J + -48 J = -76 J. ** Your Self-Critique:ok Your Self-Critique rating #$&*:3 ********************************************* Question: gen phy How does the halving of pressure caused a halving of the magnitude of the work, and why is the work positive instead of negative as it was in the process a-b-c? Your Solution: Work is the area under the pressure and volume in the graph. If you have half the pressure between two volumes the graph has half the altitude, which means half of the area. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** Work is the area under the pressure vs. volume curve. If you have half the pressure between two volumes the graph has half the altitude, which leads to half the area. The 'width' of a region is final volume - initial volume. If the direction of the process is such that final volume is less than initial volume (i.e., going 'backwards', in the negative x direction) then with 'width' is negative and the area is negative. ** Your Self-Critique:ok Your Self-Critique rating #$&*:3
