<h2>Answer: Pressure</h2>

Pressure is the force $F$ exerted by a gas, a liquid or a solid on a surface (or area) $A$ .

Its unit according to the International System of Units is Pascal $Pa$ which is equal to $N/m^{2}$ and its formula is:

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is $a=2,800m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Known Data

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, $v_{i}=-30m/s$ , final speed has a positive direction, $v_{f}=26m/s$ , $\Delta t=20ms=0.020s$ and mass $m_{b}$ .

Initial momentum

$p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s$

final momentum

$p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s$

Impulse

$I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s$

Average Force

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}$

Average acceleration

$F=ma$ , so $a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}$ .

Therefore, $a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}$

A pump is used to transport water to a higher reservoir. if the water temperature is 15ºc, determine the lowest pressure that ca

Reika [66]

Normally, the water pressure inside a pump is higher than the vapor pressure: in this case, at the interface between the liquid and the vapor, molecules from the liquid escapes into vapour form. Instead, when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure, molecules of vapour can go inside the water forming bubbles: this phenomenon is called cavitation.

So, cavitation occurs when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure. In our problem, vapour pressure at $15^{\circ}$ is 1.706 kPa. Therefore, the lowest pressure that can exist in the pump without cavitation, at this temperature, is exactly this value: 1.706 kPa.

An igneous intrusion whose boundaries lie parallel to the layering in the surrounding country rock is considered to be:

ikadub [295]

...a concordant intrusion. In geology, "concordant" means the same as "sill" -- or, an intrusion that has gotten in between older layers of rock (or even beds of volcanic lava). An intrusion with boundaries parallel to layering in surrounding rocks suggests this, meaning it is considered to be a concordant intrusion.

A 55.4 g sample of water at 99.61 °C is placed in a constant pressure calorimeter. Then, 23.4 g of zinc metal at 21.6 °C is adde

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C

Explanation:

From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture

Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal

m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)

m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g

C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g

C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal

T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C

T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C

T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C

55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)

746.9028 = 1750.32C2

C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C

Describe a life cycle of a star

vagabundo [1.1K]

Planetary Nebula are the outer layers of a star that are lost when the star changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Is this what you needed?
