A cylinder with a valve at the bottom is filled with an ideal gas. the valve is now opened and some of the gas escapes slowly. the valve is then closed, after which the piston is observed to be at a lower position Assume that the system is in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings at all times.

a. Is the final pressure of the gas in the cylinder greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure? Explain.
b. In this process, which of the quantities P, V, n, and T are held constant and which are allowed to change?
c. Consider the following incorrect student statement.
"In the ideal gas law, P=nRT/V, so the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume. If you decrease the volume, the pressure has to go up."

What is the flaw in the student's reasoning?

d. Explain why it is not possible to use the ideal gas law to determine whether the pressure changed in this process.

Aballoon is rising vertically upwards at a velocity of 10m/s. when it is at a height of 45m from the ground, a parachute bails out from it. after 3s he opens his parachute and decelerates ata a constant rate 5m/s.when. (a) what was the height of the parachutist above the ground when he opened his parachute? (b)how far is the parachutist from the balloon at t=3s? (c)with what velocity does the parachutist hit the ground? (d)after how long does the parachutist hit the ground after his exist from the balloon?

Aproduction line at v. j. sugumaran's machine shop has three stations. the first station can process a unit in 7 minutes. the second station has two identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 16 minutes (each unit only needs to be processed on one of the two machines). the third station can process a unit in 10 minutes. ▼ is the bottleneck station, with a bottleneck time of nothing minutes per unit (enter your response as a whole number).
