A cylinder of gas is compressed by a piston from an initial volume of 125 liters to a final volume of 90 liters. The compression occurs at constant pressure, and the work done on the gas by the piston is 104 joules. What is the gas pressure during the compression? (1 liter = 10-3 meters3)
A.
4 × 102 pascals
B.
3 × 105 pascals
C.
1 × 105 pascals
D.
3 × 104 pascals
E.
3 × 10-1 pascals

How will the system respond to a temperature increase?

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

An athlete is holding 24 lb of weights at a height of 6 inches above the stack as shown. to lower the weights, she applies a constant force of 5 lb to the handle. determine the velocity of the weights immediately before they hit the stack.
