3.0 kg of nitrogen gas in a piston cylinder device initially at a temperature of 300 k and a pressure of 100 kpa is compressed to a volume equal to 90% of the initial volume and at a pressure of 140 kpa. determine the change in specific internal energy of the nitrogen during the process, assuming that the nitrogen acts as an ideal gas with constant specific heats.

A12-kg bag of groceries is tossed onto a table at 4.0 m/s and slides to a stop in 2.2 s . modify the equation fδt=δ (mv) to find the force of friction.

Copper has free electrons per cubic meter. a 71.0-cm length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 a of current. (a) how much time does it take for an electron to travel the length of the wire? (b) repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm) of the same length that carries the same current. (c) generally speaking, how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?

To run the physics cart, the fan speed of the cart is manipulated. this is the (blank) variable. the cart accelerates due to the speed of the fan. acceleration is therefore the (blank) variable. a “constant” is a parameter that stays the same regardless of the variables. one parameter of the cart that is held constant is the (blank) .
