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. Your Self-Critique: After reading the given solution and the instructor's answer to the student question, this became a little more clear. Your Self-Critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: Summarize the relationship between the thermal energy that goes into the system during a cycle, the work done by the system during a cycle, and the thermal energy removed or dissipated during the cycle. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: Whatever work is lost in thermal energy, there must be an equal amount of thermal energy put back into the system. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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:OK ********************************************* 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? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: efficiency = W / Qin = W / (W + Quin) confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: ** 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. ** Your Self-Critique:OK Your Self-Critique Rating:OK ********************************************* Question: prin phy and gen phy problem 15.2, cylinder with light frictionless piston atm pressure, 1400 kcal added, volume increases slowly from 12.0 m^3 to 18.2 m^3. Find work and change in internal energy. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: `dW = P `dv = 1 atm * (18.2 m^3 - 12 m^3) = (101,300 N/m^2) * (6.2 m^3) = 628,060 N m = 628,060 Joules Now I am not sure how to find the change in thermal energy. I know we would use the `dW and the 1400 Kcal, but I am not sure how we would put that into an equation to find the change in it. 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. STUDENT COMMENT: My answer was way off, but I see where I made my mistake. I didn’t convert the m^3 into Joules. Is (101.3 x 10^3 N/m^2) the conversion factor for m^3 into Joules?? INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE: You calculated the right quantities, but you didn't use compatible units. m^3 measures volume, Joules measure work\energy. The units of your calculation 1atm * (18.2m^3 - 12.0 m^3) = 6.2 m^3 don't make sense. The units of this calculation would be atm * m^3, not m^3. It's hard to make sense of the unit atm * m^3, but 1 atm = 101.3 kPa or 101 300 Pa, which is 101 300 N / m^2. Your calculation should therefore have been 1atm * (18.2m^3 - 12.0 m^3) = 101 300 N/m^2 * (18.2 m^3 - 12.0 m^3). The units will come out N * m, which is Joules. Your Self-Critique: I think I understand this now. Does `dU stand for change in thermal enery and `dQ stand for amount added? There are so many different varaibles in this problem and the problem sets that I am getting confused. Your Self-Critique Rating:3

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 Self-Critique: There were a lot of assumptions that had to be made and I haven't quite got to the point where I can think of them without guidance yet. This was a very complicated problem that I hope I will be able to solve very soon on my own.
