The correct value for the rocket speed measured by an observer on earth would be = 14c

<h3>Calculation and of the rocket speed</h3>

To calculate the speed of the rocket we should observe that the rocket and the missile are in a relative motion which are moving on the same direction.

The speed of the rocket = 12c

The speed of the missile = 12c

The individual speed of earth =0c

But, the relative speed of the missile and the Earth is the sum of individual speeds.

Thus, the speed of rocket as measured by an observer on the Earth would be 0 + 14c = 14c.

Therefore, the correct value for the rocket speed measured by an observer on earth would be =14c

A falcon can descend with a speed 250 km/h. If a falcon flies at this speed for 2.0 s and then flies a 100 m in 2.5 s, what is t

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

v= s/t

Explanation:

250 km/ h =69.44m/s

S1=2 times 69.44 ≈ 139m

Next 2.5 seconds:

S2 = 100m

Average speed:

v=139m+100m/2s+2.5s = 239/4.5s = 53.2 m/s=192km/h

One mole of magnesium (6 × 1023 atoms) has a mass of 24 grams, as shown in the periodic table on the inside front cover of the t

natka813 [3]

This question involves the concepts of density, volume, and mass.

The approximate diameter of a magnesium atom is "3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m".

<h3>STEP 1 (FINDING MASS OF INDIVIDUAL ATOM)</h3>

It is given that:

Mass of one mole = 24 grams

Mass of 6 x 10²³ atoms = 24 grams

Mass of 1 atom = $\frac{24\ grams}{6\ x\ 10^{23}\ atoms}$ = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams

<h3>STEP 2 (FINDING VOLUME OF A SINGLE ATOM)</h3>

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}\\\\V=\frac{m}{\rho}$

where,

$\rho$ = density = 1.7 grams/cm³
m = mass of single atom = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
V = volume of single atom = ?

Therefore,

$V=\frac{4\ x\ 10^{-23}\ grams}{1.7\ grams/cm^3}$

V = 2.35 x 10⁻²³ cm³

<h3>STEP 3 (FINDING DIAMETER OF ATOM)</h3>

The atom is in a spherical shape. Hence, its Volume can be given as follows:

$V =\frac{\pi d^3}{6}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6V}{\pi}}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6(2.35\ x\ 10^{-23}\ cm^3)}{\pi}}$

d = 0.355 x 10⁻⁷ cm = 3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Suppose 3 mol of neon (an ideal monatomic gas) at STP are compressed slowly and isothermally to 0.19 the original volume. The ga

Radda [10]

Answer:

a. 273 K b. 90.1 K c. 5.26 atm d. 0.33 atm

Explanation:

For isothermal expansion PV = constant

So, P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ where P₁ = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm (standard pressure), V₁ = initial volume of gas, P₂ = final pressure of gas and V₂ = final volume of gas,

So, P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

Since V₂/V₁ = 0.19,

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

P₂ = 1 atm (1/0.19)

P₂ = 5.26 atm

For an adiabatic expansion, PVⁿ = constant where n = ratio of molar heat capacities = 5/3 for monoatomic gas

So, P₂V₂ⁿ = P₃V₃ⁿ where P₂ = initial pressure of gas = 5.26 atm, V₂ = initial volume of gas, P₃ = final pressure of gas and V₃ = final volume of gas,

So, P₂V₂ⁿ = P₃V₃ⁿ

P₃ = P₂V₂ⁿ/V₃ⁿ

P₃ = P₂(V₂/V₃)ⁿ

Since V₃ = V₁ ,V₂/V₃ = V₂/V₁ = 0.19

1/0.19,

P₃ = P₂(V₂/V₃)ⁿ

P₃ = 5.26 atm (0.19)⁽⁵/³⁾

P₃ = 5.26 atm × 0.0628

P₃ = 0.33 atm

Using the ideal gas equation

P₃V₃/T₃ = P₄V₄/T₄ where P₃ = pressure after adiabatic expansion = 0.33 atm , V₃ = volume after adiabatic expansion, T₃ = temperature after adiabatic expansion P₄ = initial pressure of gas = P₁ = 1 atm , V₄ = initial volume of gas = V₁ and T₄ = initial temperature of gas = T₁ = 273 K (standard temperature)

P₃V₃/T₃ = P₄V₄/T₄

T₃ = P₃V₃T₄/P₄V₄

T₃ = (P₃/P₄)(V₃/V₄)T₂

Since V₃ = V₄ = V₁ and P₄ = P₁

V₃/V₄ = 1 and P₃/P₄ = P₃/P₁

T₃ = (P₃/P₁)(V₃/V₄)T₂

T₃ = (0.33 atm/1 atm)(1)273 K

T₃ = 90.1 K

So,

a. The highest temperature attained by the gas is T₁ = 273 K

b. The lowest temperature attained by the gas = T₃ = 90.1 K

c. The highest pressure attained by the gas is P₂ = 5.26 atm

d. The lowest pressure attained by the gas is P₃ = 0.33 atm
