A 2 L balloon filled with gas is warmed from 280 K to 700 K. What is the volume of the gas after it is heated?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

New volume, v2 = 0.8L

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Original Volume = 2L

Original Temperature = 280K

New Temperature = 700K

To find new volume V2, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

$VT = K$

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

$V_{2}= \frac{V1}{T1} * T_{2}$

$V_{2}= \frac{2}{700} * 280$

$V_{2}= 0.0029 * 280$

V2 = 0.8L

Therefore, the volume of the gas after it is heated is 0.8L.

Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 49 mm above a river. Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 17 m/sm/s .

lara [203]

Answer:

3.467 s

Explanation:

given,

distance , d = 49 mm = 0.049 m

initial speed of the of the rock, v = 17 m/s

time taken by the Heather rock to reach water

using equation of motion

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

taking downward as negative

$-0.049 = -17 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

4.9 t² + 17 t - 0.049 = 0

now,

$t_1 = \dfrac{-(17)\pm \sqrt{17^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-0.049)}}{2\times 4.9}$

t₁ = -3.47 s , 0.0028 s

rejecting negative values

t₁ = 0.0028 s

now, time taken by the ball of Jerry

using equation of motion

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

taking downward as negative

$-0.049 = 17 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

4.9 t² - 17 t - 0.049 = 0

now,

$t_2 = \dfrac{-(-17)\pm \sqrt{17^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-0.049)}}{2\times 4.9}$

t₂ = 3.47 s ,-0.0028 s

rejecting negative values

t₂ = 3.47 s

now, time elapsed is = t₂ - t₁ = 3.47 - 0.0028 = 3.467 s

The combination of an applied force and a friction force produces a constant total torque of 35.5 N · m on a wheel rotating abou

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a) $I = 19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2}$ , b) $T = -3.405\,N\cdot m$ , c) $n_{T} \approx 54.842\,rev$

Explanation:

a) The net torque is:

$T = I\cdot \alpha$

Let assume a constant angular acceleration, which is:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} - 0\,\frac{rad}{s} }{5.80\,s}$

$\alpha = 1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The moment of inertia of the wheel is:

$I = \frac{T}{\alpha}$

$I = \frac{35.5\,N\cdot m}{1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }$

$I = 19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2}$

b) The deceleration of the wheel is due to the friction force. The deceleration is:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s} - 10.4\,\frac{rad}{s}}{60.4\,s}$

$\alpha = - 0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The magnitude of the torque due to friction:

$T = (19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot (-0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )$

$T = -3.405\,N\cdot m$

c) The total angular displacement is:

$\theta_{T} = \theta_{1} + \theta_{2}$

$\theta_{T} = \frac{(10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}-(0\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )} + \frac{(0\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}-(10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (-0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )}$

$\theta_{T} = 344.580\,rad$

The total number of revolutions of the wheel is:

$n_{T} = \frac{\theta_{T}}{2\pi}$

$n_{T} = \frac{344.580\,rad}{2\pi}$

$n_{T} \approx 54.842\,rev$

Which statements describe the Mercalli scale? Check all that apply.

konstantin123 [22]

<h3><u>Full question:</u></h3>

Which statements describe the Mercalli scale? Check all that apply.

A. This scale measures seismic waves based on their size.

B. This scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes.

C.This scale produces a single rating for earthquakes that reach the surface.

D. This scale uses Roman numerals to rank the damage caused by an earthquake.

E.This scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on the size of seismic waves.

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The Mercalli scale : This scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes and This scale uses Roman numerals to rank the damage caused by an earthquake.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The Modified Mercalli scale is intended to illustrate the consequences of an earthquake, at a contracted station, on tangible characteristics, on modern fittings and human beings.

The Modified Mercalli Intensity value ascribed to a particular site subsequent an earthquake has an extra significant means of severity to the nonscientist than the magnitude because intensity assigns to the outcomes really encountered at that position. This scale is comprised of 12 growing levels of intensity, denoted by Roman numerals, arranging from gradual shaking to catastrophic impairment.
