<span>The shell provides a rigid structure to attach muscles to and supports soft body parts. That is what a skeleton does. A s</span><span>hell is basically an exoskeleton. Exoskeletons contain rigid components that have a set of functional roles including protection, excretion, sensing, support, feeding and acting as a barrier against harmful predators.  </span>

A 1 m3tank containing air at 10oC and 350 kPa is connected through a valve to another tank containing 3 kg of air at 35oC and 15
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

- the volume of the second tank is 1.77 m³

- the final equilibrium pressure of air is 221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa

Explanation:

Given that;

V_{A} = 1 m³

T_{A} = 10°C = 283 K

P_{A} = 350 kPa

m_{B} = 3 kg

T_{B} = 35°C = 308 K

P_{B} = 150 kPa

Now, lets apply the ideal gas equation;

P_{B} V_{B} = m_{B}RT_{B}

V_{B} = m_{B}RT_{B} / P_{B}

The gas constant of air R = 0.287 kPa⋅m³/kg⋅K

we substitute

V_{B} = ( 3 × 0.287 × 308) / 150

V_{B} = 265.188 / 150  

V_{B} = 1.77 m³

Therefore, the volume of the second tank is 1.77 m³

Also, m_{A} =  P_{A}V_{A} / RT_{A} = (350 × 1)/(0.287 × 283) = 350 / 81.221

m_{A}  = 4.309 kg

Total mass, m_{f} = m_{A} + m_{B} = 4.309 + 3 = 7.309 kg

Total volume V_{f} = V_{A} + V_{B}  = 1 + 1.77 = 2.77 m³

Now, from ideal gas equation;

P_{f} =  m_{f}RT_{f} / V_{f}

given that; final temperature T_{f} = 20°C = 293 K

we substitute

P_{f} =  ( 7.309 × 0.287 × 293)  / 2.77

P_{f} =  614.6211119 / 2.77

P_{f} =  221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa

Therefore, the final equilibrium pressure of air is 221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

In Part l, the independent variable was
Ber [7]

Answer:

The independent variable is the variable the experimenter manipulates or changes, and is assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable. ... The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and is 'dependent' on the independent variable.
