4a.3

Postby Jenna 1G » Thu Jan 27, 2022 1:20 pm

Air in a bicycle pump is compressed by pushing in the handle. The inner diameter of the pump is 3.0 cm and the pump is depressed 20. cm with a pressure of 2.00 atm. (a) How much work is done in the compression? (b) Is the work positive or negative with respect to the air in the pump? (c) What is the change in internal energy of the system?
I was wondering what conversion factors I should use to get the change of volume in liters

what I did was solve with with the volume of a cylinder formula, and then convert from 1cm^3 to 1 mL, and then go from 1000 mL to 1L!

hope this helps!
