Think about how each of noise, heat, visible light, radiation and atmospheric shock waves travel. Which ones require air particles to travel?

A vacuum has no air particles within it, it is completely empty.

Therefore, any of the above that requiring particles to travel will not be able to cross it and the observer will not experience it.

Tema [17]

Answer

given,

heat added to the gas,Q = 3300 kcal

initial volume, V₁ = 13.7 m³

final volume, V₂ = 19.7 m³

atmospheric pressure, P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

a) Work done by the gas

    W = P Δ V

    W = 1.013 x 10⁵ x (19.7 - 13.7)

    W = 6.029 x 10⁵ J

b) internal energy of the gas = ?

  now,

 change in internal energy

  Δ U = Q - W

    Q = 3300 x 10³ cal

    Q = 3300 x 10³ x 4.186 J

    Q = 1.38 x 10⁷ J

now,

  Δ U = 1.38 x 10⁷  - 6.029 x 10⁵

  Δ U = 1.32 x 10⁷ J

The current in the wires of a circuit is 180.0 milliamps. If the resistance of the circuit were doubled ( with no change in volt
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

I = 0.09[amp] or 90 [milliamps]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the voltage by the current.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

Now, we replace the values of the first current into the equation

V = 180*10^-3 * R

V = 0.18*R (1)

Then we have that the resistance is doubled so we have this new equation:

V = I*(2R) (2)

The voltage remains constant therefore 1 and 2 are equals and we can obtain the current value.

V = V

0.18*R = I*2*R

I = 0.09[amp] or 90 [milliamps]

Blocks A and B of unknown masses m1 and m2, respectively, are set up on an inclined plane as shown. Block A is attached to block
Korvikt [17]

Newton's second law we can find that the correct answer is:  

 E)  It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

Newton's second law establishes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration of a body. Since force and acceleration are vector quantities, their components must be added on each axis

For this problem we have two bodies, let's write Newton's second law for the body B, we assume that the body B descends

            W_b - T = m_b a

            W_b  = m_b g

            m_b - T = m_b a

Where W_b is the weight of block B, T the tension of the string, mb the mass of block b and the acceleration

Now let's find the relation for block A

let's set a datum with the x axis parallel to the ramp

           T - Wₓ = mₐ a

           sin θ = Wₓ / W

            Wₓ = Wₐ sin θ

             Wₐ = mₐ g

Where Wₓ is the component of the weight, Wₐ the weight of the body A and θ the angle of the plane

Let's write our system of equations

           m_b g - T = m_b a

           T - mₐ g sin θ = mₐ a

let's add the equations

            g (m_b - mₐ sin θ) = (m_b + mₐ) a

            a =   \frac{m_b - m_a \ sin  \ \theta}{m_b+m_a} \ g

Let's analyze this expression

  • The numerator is positive the body B descends, this occurs when

          m_b - mₐ sin θ > 0

           

  • The numerator is negative, body B rises

           m_b - mₐ  sin θ <0

We can observe that the acceleration is positive or negative depending on the relation of the masses and the angle of the plane.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we find that the correct answer is  

 E )   It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

A mass weighing pounds is attached to a spring whose constant is lb/ft. The medium offers a damping force that is numerically eq
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing values attached below is the complete question with the missing values

answer :

a) 0.083 secs

b) 0.33 secs

c)  3e^-4/3

Explanation:

Given that

g = 32 ft/s^2 ,  spring constant ( k ) = 2 Ib/ft

initial displacement = 1 ft above equilibrium

mass = weight / g = 4/32 = 1/8

damping force = instanteous velocity  hence  β = 1

a<u>)Calculate the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position.</u>

time mass passes through equilibrium = 1/12 seconds = 0.083

<u>b) Calculate the time at which the mass attains its extreme displacement </u>

time when mass attains extreme displacement = 1/3 seconds = 0.33 secs

<u>c) What is the position of the mass at this instant</u>

position = 3e^-4/3

attached below is the detailed solution to the given problem
