A gas is contained in a cylinder with a moveable piston on which a heavy block is placed. Suppose the region outside the chamber is evacuated and the total mass of the block and the movable piston is 102 kg. When 2140 J of heat flows into the gas, the internal energy of the gas increases by 1580 J. what is the distance through which the piston rises?

The first kid is on the ground (0.00 meter), whereas the second kid is on top of a 10.00-meter tall building. The second kid threw his ball at the same time that the first kid throws another ball upward. At the time that the first kid’s ball reaches its maximum height, the two balls will collide. i.) Compute for the initial speed of the first kid’s ball. ii.) Determine at what time and at what height the two balls will collide.arrow_forwardQuick description In this lab you will study two-dimensional motion, specifically projectile motion. You will roll a ball down an inclined plane (a track with one end propped). The ball will fly off the end of the inclined plane and undergo projectile motion until it hits the ground. At the moment the ball is leaving the inclined plane, a photogate detector measures the time the ball takes to pass through the gate. Using the diameter f the ball and the photogate time, you can calculate the speed of the ball when it passed through the photogate. Based on the angle of the inclined plane, the initial speed for the projectile motion, and the distance the ball falls (Ay in figure), you should be able to predict the horizontal distance (Ax in figure) and compare it to your measured horizontal distance. 41cm Ball 121cm Inced Plane Table Inclined plane angle = sin ^-1 (41cm/121 cm) = 19.81° Ball diameter = 0.013 m Delta Y= 76 cm=0.76 m Time (s) Velocity (m/s) Delta X (m) 0.00707 0.184 0.654…arrow_forward
- Part C: Density of Water In this part, we will try to measure or calculate the density of water. As we have learnedin the lecture, the density of any matter will be the ratio of the mass of the given matterand the volume of the matter. We will have to obtain the data for the mass and the volumeof that given amount of water. We will use a rectangle container for this purpose. If we measurethe length, the width of the container, and if we pour the water in the container, we can calculatethe volume of the water. To get the mass of the water, we will measure the mass of the emptycontainer first, we will then measure the mass of the container with the water inside. The differenceof this two mass will be the net mass of the water that we are interested. We will do three trials. We will just put different amount of water in the container. Different amount of water will give you different height, but the length and the width of the container is the same.
