Ideal Gas Law Many gases can be modeled by the Ideal Gas Law, PV = nRT, which relates the temperature (T, measured in Kelvin (K)), pressure (P, measured in Pascals (Pa)), and volume (V, measured in m3) of a gas. Assume that the quantity of gas in question is n = 1 mole (mol). The gas constant has a value of R = 8.3 m3-Pa/mol-K.
a. Consider T to be the dependent variable and plot several level curves (called isotherms) of the temperature surface in the region 0 ≤ P ≤ 100,000 and 0 ≤ V ≤ 0.5.
b. Consider P to be the dependent variable and plot several level curves (called isobars) of the pressure surface in the region 0 ≤ T ≤ 900 and 0 < V ≤ 0.5.
c. Consider V to be the dependent variable and plot several level curves of the volume surface in the region 0 ≤ T ≤ 900 and 0 < P ≤ 100,000.

- A bottle of soda with a temperature of 71 Fahrenheit was taken off a shelf and placed ina refrigerator with an internal temperature of 35 .After ten minutes, the internal temperature of thesoda was 63F . Use Newton’s Law of cooling towrite a formula that models this situation. To thenearest degree, what will the temperature of thesoda be after one hour?arrow_forwardFrictional Force The frictional force F between the tires and the road required to keep a car on a curved section of a highway is directly proportional to the square of the speed s of the car. If the speed of the car is doubled, the force will change by what factor?arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules.

- A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardDefine Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area.
