An ideal monatomic gas expands isobarically, doubling the volume, from a state A to state B. It is then compressed isothermally from state B to state C and finally cooled at constant volume until it returns to state A. No gas is allowed to enter or escape during the any of the processes. a) Draw a PV diagram for this cycle.

b) How many atoms are in the gas?

c) Is the cycle a heat engine or pump?

d) If the cycle is a heat engine, what is the efficiency of the cycle. If the cycle is a heat pump, what is the coefficient of performance?

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)
