Do you think it would be possible to compress a gas to zero volume

No. You always have mass. If you have 0 Volume there is no mass.

No, I don't think so.  Even if it's really thin, a gas is still made out of
atoms and molecules, with protons, neutrons, and electrons inside.
As tiny as those all are, they still have mass and occupy space. 
So you can push them closer together, but no matter how hard you
squeeze them, there must be some point where you can't make them
any smaller, because they can't completely stop occupying space.

We'll talk about black holes some other time.

A proton in a particle accelerator is traveling at a speed of 0.99c.(a) If you use the approximate nonrelativistic equation for
____ [38]

Answer:

a)  p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ kg m / s , b)  p = 35 .18 10⁻¹⁹  kg m / s ,

c)  p_correst / p_approximate = 7.09

Explanation:

a) The moment is defined in classical mechanics as

                 p = m v

Let's calculate its value

               p = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 0.99 3. 10⁸

               p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ kg m / s

b) in special relativity the moment is defined as

               p = m v / √(1 –v² / c²)

Let's calculate

                p = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 0.99 10⁸/ √(1- 0.99²)

                p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ / 0.141

                p = 35 .18 10⁻¹⁹  kg m / s

c) the relationship between the two values ​​is

            p_correst / p_approximate = 35.18 / 4.96

            p_correst / p_approximate = 7.09

a uniform rule balance on a knife edge at the 55cm mark when a mass of 40g is hung from the 95cm mark. find the weight of the ru
BigorU [14]

Answer:

W = 3.1 N

Explanation:

moments about any convenient point will sum to zero.

I choose summing about the knife edge mark and will assume the ruler of weight W is of uniform construction.

I will assume the ruler weight makes a positive moment

W[55 - 50) - 0.040(9.8)[ 95 - 55] = 0

                                                5W = 15.68

                                                   W = 3.136

How to find time(t) when initial velocity(u),final velocity(v) is given and acceleration(a) is not constant ?​
ivanzaharov [21]
You can do this if you have a working knowledge of calculus.

You need to model the acceleration as a function of time, ie obtain a function a(t) that gives acceleration a for any time t.

Using the fundamental theorem of calculus, you should integrate a(t) from t=0 to a variable value of time t. This should get you an expression in terms of t.

Now set this expression equal to the difference of the final and initial velocity, v-u, and solve for t.
