Air that initially occupies 0.140 m3 at a gauge pressure of 103.0 kPa is expanded isothermally to a pressure of 101.3 kPa and then cooled at constant pressure until it reaches its initial volume. Compute the work done by the air. (Gauge pressure is the difference between the actual pressure and atmospheric pressure.)
Does a gas do any work when it expands adiabatically? If so, what is the source of the energy needed to do this work?
A TV tube of glass with zero pressure inside and atmosphere pressure outside suddenly cracks and implodes. The volume of the tube is 2.60 10-2 m3. During the implosion, the atmosphere does work on the fragments of the tube and on the layer of air immediately adjacent to the tube. This amount of work represents the energy released in the implosion. Calculate this energy in Joules. If all of this energy is acquired by the fragments of the glass, what will be the mean speed of the fragments? The total mass of the glass is 1.7 kg.
