17:38:05 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 --> The force exerted by the particle can be calculated using the Impulse-Momentum Theorem: F = `dp/`dt = (m*v)/`dt First we must calculate the change in momentum: (mass*velocity) / time interval. Since an elastic collision causes a change in direction at the same velocity we must account for twice the velocity in one direction. `dp = m*2v Then we can calculate the average force which is the product of the particle's momentum and the time interval of collision. If time interval is not given, it can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled, `ds, by the velocity of the particle. (`dt = `ds/v) Fave = `dp / `dt = (m*2v) / (`ds/v)
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
17:41:06 ** 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 --> I understand this concept. My explanation was not quite as thorough, but my process of solving is the same. I forgot to mention that in 3-dimensions, you must divide the calculated force by 3 to obtain the actual force because the particle could go in any direction.

17:46:14 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.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The relationship between these three components can be expressed best by the equation below. The thermal energy that goes in the system is equal to the work that the system does and the energy that dissipates. Qin = work + Qout
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
17:46:20 ** 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. **

17:48:42 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?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> If you know the work done and the thermal energy that dissipates, you can calculate the thermal energy that goes into the system: Qin = work + Qout Then to find the efficiency, divide the work produced by the thermal energy used to produce it. This tells us how efficiently the thermal energy was converted into work. Efficiency = work/Qin
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
17:48:54 ** 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. **

17:56:45 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 chagne in internal energy.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> To calculate the work done by the system we use the relationship, W = P*`dV. We are given P, Vo, and Vf. P = 1atm = 101.3*10^3 N/m^2 Vo = 12m^3 Vf = 18.2m^3 W = (101.3*10^3N/m^2)(18.2m^3 - 12m^3) = 6.28*10^5J To calculate the internal energy (`dU) first the heat added must be converted from kcal to joules: Q = (1400kcal)(4186J/kcal) = 5.86*10^6J Now use the relationship `dU = Q-W `dU = (5.86*10^6J) - (6.28*10^5J) = 5.23*10^6J
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
17:57:10 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.

18:18:48 prin phy and gen phy problem 15.5, 1.0 L at 4.5 atm isothermally expanded until pressure is 1 atm then compressed at const pressure to init volume, final heated to return to original volume. Sketch and label graph.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> My graph shows pressure on the y-axis and volume on the x-axis. The first point is at P=4.5atm and V=1.0L. The graph then decreases at a decreasing rate to P=1atm and a greater volume. This represents the gas expanding isothermally where the temperature remains constant while the volume increases due to less pressure. From there the graph proceeds horizontally to the left back to the initial volume, 1.0L, at a constant pressure. The last adjustment is the pressure returning to 4.5L at a constant volume by adding heat. This is represented by a vertical line at 1.0L from 1atm up to 4.5 atm.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:19:35 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).

18:19:45 gen phy problem 15.12, a-c curved path `dW = -35 J, `dQ = -63 J; a-b-c `dW = - 48 J gen phy how much thermal energy goes into the system along path a-b-c and why?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I'm not a gen physics student
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:19:50 ** 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.**

18:19:59 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 --> I am not a gen physics student
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:20:04 ** 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. **

18:20:11 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?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I am not a gen physics student
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:20:14 ** 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. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:20:36 ** 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). Thus T1 = (P1 / P2) ( P1 / P2)^(-1/`gamma) * 273 K = (P1 / P2)^(1 - 1/`gamma) = (P1 / P2)^(1-1/1.4) * 273 K = (P1 / P2)^.29 * 273 K = 5.6^.29 * 273 K = 443 K, approx. **

18:20:50 query univ 19.62 (17.46 10th edition) .25 mol oxygen 240 kPa 355 K. Isobaric to double vol, isothermal back, isochoric to original pressure.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I am not a university physics student
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:20:54 ** .25 mol oxygen at 240 kPa occupies about V = n R T / P = .25 mol * 8.31 J / (mol K) * 355 K / (2.4 * 10^5 N/m^2) = .003 m^3, very approximately. Doubling volume, `dV = 2 * V - V = V = .003 m^2 and P = 2.4 * 10^5 Pa so P `dv = 700 J, very approximately. During isothermal compression we have n = const and T = const so P = n R T / V. Compressing to half the volume, since PV = const, gets us to double the pressure, so max pressure is 2 * 240 kPA = 480 kPa. To get work we integrate P dV. Integral of P dV is calculated from antiderivative n R T ln | V |; integrating between V1 and V2 we have n R T ln | V2 | - n R T ln | V1 | = n R T ln | V2 / V1 |. In this case V2 = V and V1 = 2 V so V2 / V1 = 1/2 and we have `dW = n R T ln(1/2) = .25 mol * 8.31 J/(mol K) * 710 K * (-.7) = -1000 J, approx. So net work is about 700 J - 1000 J = -300 J **
