A gas is taken though a single process in which its volume decreases by .25 m^3 as the temp of the gas rises 2deg C. Which of the following people are more likely to have reached the correct conclusion?
a. Bob ids this process as adiabatic
b. Jill ids this process as isothermal
c. charles ids this process as isovolumetric
d. more info is needed.
Amber, Sonya, Christina -- this is the 12th physics question you've posted in the last few minutes. Since you've shown no work or any of your ideas, your chances are pretty slim for getting much help here.
less than slim from me.
Thanks for your help :)
To determine which option is the most likely correct conclusion, let's break down the information provided and analyze each option:
a. Bob identifies this process as adiabatic.
An adiabatic process occurs when there is no heat exchange between the system and its surroundings. However, the information given states that the temperature of the gas rises by 2 degrees Celsius. This means heat is being added to the system, indicating that the process is not adiabatic. Therefore, Bob is less likely to have reached the correct conclusion.
b. Jill identifies this process as isothermal.
An isothermal process occurs when the temperature of a gas remains constant. In this case, however, the information states that the temperature of the gas rises by 2 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the process cannot be isothermal, and Jill is less likely to have reached the correct conclusion.
c. Charles identifies this process as isovolumetric.
An isovolumetric process (also known as an isochoric process) occurs when the volume of a gas remains constant. However, the information provided states that the volume of the gas decreases by 0.25 m^3. Therefore, the process is not isovolumetric, and Charles is less likely to have reached the correct conclusion.
d. More information is needed.
Given the information provided, it is clear that none of the options presented so far correctly describe the process. Therefore, the correct conclusion cannot be determined with certainty, and more information is needed.
In conclusion, the most likely correct conclusion would be option d: more information is needed.
