Question:

Consider a sample of helium gas in a container fitted with a piston as pictured below. The piston is frictionless, but has a mass of 10.0 kg. How many of the following processes will cause the piston to move away from the base and decrease the pressure of the gas? Assume ideal behavior.

I. Heating the helium. II.

II. toRemoving some of the helium from the container.

III. Turning the container on its side.

IV. Decreasing the pressure outside the container.

a) 0

b) 1

c) 2

d) 3

e) 4

Answer:

Only one process will cause the piston to move which is

i) Heating the helium

Explanation:

When helium is heated it becomes less dense or lighter. Heating the helium will cause an increase in volume which will make the piston to move away from the base. When the volume finishes increasing, the piston will stop moving which in turn will make the forces on both sides of the piston balanced, so the pressure inside will balance the weight of the piston and that of the atmosphere. From that we can see that there has been a pressure change as a result of heating.

Question:

Consider a sample of helium gas in a container fitted with a piston, as pictured below. The piston is frictionless, but has a mass of 10.0 kg. How many of the following processes will cause the piston to move away from the base and decrease the pressure of the gas? Assume ideal behavior.

I.

heating the helium

II.

removing some of the helium from the container

III.

turning the container on its side

IV.

decreasing the pressure outside the container

Answer:

Two of the following processes will cause the piston to move away from the base and decrease the pressure of the gas.

III and IV.

III.

turning the container on its side

IV.

decreasing the pressure outside the container

Explanation:

To answer the question, we will be required to analyze each option as follows

I.  

heating the helium

Here, assuming ideal behavior, according to Charles' law, at constant pressure the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature, in  Kelvin.

Therefore, heating the helium will increase the volume of the gas and move up the piston to move away from the base. However the pressure will remain constant.

Only one condition is met

II.

removing some of the helium from the container

If the container is empty, the piston ill rest on the base of the container.

Does not meet the conditions.

III.

turning the container on its side

Here, the force of the piston on the helium gas due to grvity is removed, therefore the helium will expand and the pressure of the helium gas will be reduced as the force of the piston is no longer in effect, the volume  occupied by the gas increases, therefore the piston moves away from the base.

Both conditions are met.

IV.

decreasing the pressure outside the container

When the pressure outside the container is decreased the force due to atmospheric pressure is reduced and the helium will expand to assume a lesser equilibrium pressure while moving the piston away from the base.

An isolated conductor has a net charge of +12.0 × 10- 6 c and a cavity with a particle of charge q = +3.70 × 10-6
pychu [463]
This is just a simple problem finding out the outer surface charge, the inner surface charge and the net charge. Net charge by definition means the difference between two charges. In this case, the formula that is applicable here is outer surface charge = total net charge - inner cavity surface charge. Since we are given already with the net charge equal to 12.0 x10-6 C and the inner charge magnituude f 3.7 x10-6 C, the the total charge must be outer charge is +10x10(-6)) - (-3.0x10(-6)) = +1.3x10(-5) C. 
Charges are measured in coloumbs and most likely exist on surfaces of entities like particles, walls etc.

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

Two parallel 3.0-meter long wires conduct current. The current in the top wire is 12.5 A and flows to the right. The top wire fe
Aleksandr [31]

Complete question:

Two parallel 3.0-meter long wires conduct current. The current in the top wire is 12.5 A and flows to the right. The top wire feels a repulsive force of 2.4 x 10^-4 N created by the interaction of the 12.5 A current and the magnetic field created by the bottom current (I). Find the magnitude and direction of the bottom current, if the distance between the two wires is 40cm.

Answer:

The bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wires, L = 3.0 m

current in the top wire, I₁ = 12.5 A

repulsive force between the two wires, F = 2.4 x 10⁻⁴ N

distance between the two wires, r = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The repulsive force between the two wires is given by;

F = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2L}{2\pi r}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}

Where;

I₂ is the bottom current

The direction of the bottom current must be in the same direction as the top current since the force between the two wires is repulsive.

I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2(2.4*10^{-4})(\pi)(0.4)}{(4\pi*10^{-7})(12.5)(3)}\\\\I_{2} = 12.8 \ A

Therefore, the bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

What is the most likely outcome of increasing the number of slits per unit distance on a diffraction grating?1) lines become nar
Nina [5.8K]

It's important to know that diffraction gratings can be identified by the number of lines they have per centimeter. Often, more lines per centimeter is more useful because the images separation is greater when this happens. That is, the distance between lines increases.

<h2>Therefore, the answer is 2.</h2>
