<h3>Answer:</h3>

189.07 kPa

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Boyle's law

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Initial volume of the syringe, V1 is 16 cm³
  • Initial pressure of the syringe, P1 is 1.03 atm
  • New volume of the syringe, V2 is 8.83 cm³

We are required to calculate the new pressure of the syringe;

  • We are going to use the concept on Boyle's law of gases.
  • According to the Boyle's law, for a fixed mass of a gas, the pressure is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature.
  • That is; P α 1/V
  • At varying pressure and volume, k(constant)  = PV and P1V1=P2V2

Therefore, to get the new pressure, P2, we rearrange the formula;

P2 = P1V1 ÷ V2

     = ( 16 cm³ × 1.03 atm) ÷ 8.83 cm³

    = 1.866 atm.

  • Thus, the new pressure is 1.866 atm
  • But, we need to convert pressure to Kpa
  • Conversion factor is 101.325 kPa/atm

Thus;

Pressure = 1.866 atm × 101.325 kPa/atm

               = 189.07 kPa

Hence, the new pressure of the air in the syringe is 189.07 kPa

If a metal ball suspended by a rod is at rest, which force is responsible for balancing the force due to gravity?
Viktor [21]

There are different kinds of forces; applied force, force of gravity, friction force, normal force, tension force. We will focus on the common forces, applied force and force of gravity. An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by another object. The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the weight of the object.

True or false energy is always lost in a circuit
Llana [10]

Explanation:

Electrons will gain energy as they are "pushed" from different points in the circuit. This energy is then lost when the electrons flow through circuit components such as a light bulb.

Answer:

a) <em>8.33 x 10^-6 Pa</em>

b) <em>8.23 x 10^-11 atm</em>

c) <em>1.67 x 10^-5 Pa</em>

d) <em>1.65 x 10^-10 atm</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Intensity of the light I = 2500 W/m^2

speed of light c<u> </u>= 3 x 10^8 m/s

a) we know that the pressure for for a totally absorbing surface is given as

P_{abs} = I/c = 2500/(3 x 10^8) = <em>8.33 x 10^-6 Pa</em>

b) 1 atm = 101325 Pa

P_{abs} = (8.33 x 10^-6)/101325 = <em>8.23 x 10^-11 atm</em>

c) for a totally reflecting surface

P_{ref} = 2I/c = twice the value for totally absorbing

P_{ref}  = 2 x 8.33 x 10^-6 = <em>1.67 x 10^-5 Pa</em>

d)  1 atm = 101325 Pa

P_{ref} = 2 x 8.23 x 10^-11  = <em>1.65 x 10^-10 atm</em>
