Problem P. 4479. (November 2012)

P. 4479. An easily moveable, insulated piston, of cross section A=2 dm2 and of mass m=5 kg, confines some air in a vertical thermally insulated cylinder. The air is heated by a heating element of power 200 W.

a) What is the speed of the piston?

b) By what amount does the internal energy of the air change in 2 s?

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldásvázlat. \(\displaystyle a)\) \(\displaystyle v=2{,}8\) cm/s.

\(\displaystyle b)\) 286 J. Ez a fűtőszál által leadott energia 5/7-e, a többi a légkör ,,megemelésére" fordítódik.
