Answer:

the rock will continue at the same speed unless it is affected by another force such as gravity and so if you threw it it will continue to move unless affected by a force

Explanation:

this is because Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

A 24-cm-diameter vertical cylinder is sealed at the top by a frictionless 15 kg piston. The piston is 90 cm above the bottom whe

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

(A) $P_i=3249.41\ Pa$

(B) $V_f=0.3358\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

diameter of the cylinder, $d= 0.24\ m$

mass of piston sealing on the top, $m_p=15\ kg$

initial temperature of the piston, $T_i=315+273= 588\ K$

initial height of piston, $h_i=0.9\ m$

atmospheric pressure on the piston, $p_a=1 atm=101325\ Pa$

(A)

Initial pressure of gas is the pressure balanced by the weight of piston:

$P_i=\frac{m_p.g}{\pi.d^2\div 4}$

$P_i=\frac{15\times 9.8}{\pi\times (0.24^2\div 4)}$

$P_i=3249.41\ Pa$

Which is gauge pressure because it is measured with respect to the atmospheric pressure.

(B)

Given:

Final temperature, $T_f=18+273=291\ K$

Now, volume of air initially in the cylinder:

$V_i=\pi.d.h_i$

$V_i=\pi\times 0.24\times 0.9$

$V_i=0.6786\ m^3$

Using gas law:

$\frac{P_i V_i}{T_i}= \frac{P_f V_f}{T_f}$ ........................................(1)

∵In every condition of equilibrium the gas pressure will be balanced by the weight of the piston so it is an isobaric transition.

∴ $P_i=P_f$

Hence eq. (1) is reduced to:

$\frac{V_i}{T_i}= \frac{V_f}{T_f}$

putting respective values:

$\frac{0.6786}{588}= \frac{V_f}{291}$

$V_f=0.3358\ m$

How is the force of gravity mathematically related to the factors that answer Question I?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Probably the more correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree.

Two different charges, q1 and q2, are placed at two different locations, one charge at each location. The locations have the sam

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric potential is the work done to bring a unit of charge (1 C) from infinity to a point inside an electric field.

Electric potential energy of a charge q is the energy required to keep it in an electric potential V. Electric potential energy is given by,

U = qV

Hence even if the two charges are on an equipotential surface (surface where the potential is the same at all points), the potenial energy will be different if the magnitude or nature of the charges are different.
