Answer:

The ball would have greatest speed at the bottom of ramp C

Explanation:

From the given ramps, C would generate the highest potential energy especially at the highest point that the ball starts to move down the ramp. Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object moving with a uniform velocit or at rest. Since potential energy increases with height, the potential energy gained by the ball on ramp C would cause an increase in its momentum as it glides down to the bottom of the ramp.

An ideal gas, initially at a pressure of 11.2 atm and a temperature of 299 K, is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volum

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The pressure is $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial pressure is $P_1 = 11.2\ a.t.m$

The temperature is $T_1 = 299 \ K$

Let the first volume be $V_1$ Then the final volume will be $2 V_1$

Generally for a diatomic gas

$P_1 V_1 ^r = P_2 V_2 ^r$

Here r is the radius of the molecules which is mathematically represented as

$r = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$

Where $C_p \ and\ C_v$ are the molar specific heat of a gas at constant pressure and the molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume with values

$C_p=7 \ and\ C_v=5$

=> $r = \frac{7}{5}$

=> $11.2*( V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } ) = P_2 * (2 V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } )$

=> $P_2 = [\frac{1}{2} ]^{\frac{7}{5} } * 11.2$

=> $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

A 5 kg ball is suspended on one cable. Calculate the tension in the cable

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

49N

Explanation:

F=ma

We know the mass is 5kg, and since the ball is suspended on one cable, the acceleration is g, 9.8m/s^2

F=5kg*9.8m/s^2

= 49N

Hope this helps!
