Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs $m = 300 \times 10^{-3}$ Kg

Velocity of snowball $v = 10 \frac{m}{s}$

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

$F = \frac{mv}{1}$

Where $dt = 1$ sec

$F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10$

$F = 3$ N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

$F = 3 \times 2$

$F = 6$ N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

What are the basic si units for the wavelength of light?

noname [10]

Answer:

Meter (m)

Explanation:

The wavelenght of a light wave is a measure of the distance between two successive crests (or two successive troughs) of a light wave.

Since the SI units for the distance is the meter (m), then the SI unit for the wavelength is also the meter (m).

Wavelength is related to the frequency of the light wave by:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency of the light

A pressure vessel that has a volume of 10m3 is used to store high-pressure air for operating a supersonic wind tunnel. If the ai

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The mass of air stored in the vessel is 235.34 kilograms.

Explanation:

Let supossed that air inside pressure vessel is an ideal gas, The density of the air ( $\rho$ ), measured in kilograms per cubic meter, is defined by following equation:

$\rho = \frac{P\cdot M}{R_{u}\cdot T}$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure, measured in kilopascals.

$M$ - Molar mass, measured in kilomoles per kilogram.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant, measured in kilopascal-cubic meters per kilomole-Kelvin.

$T$ - Temperature, measured in Kelvin.

If we know that $P = 2026.5\,kPa$ , $M = 28.965\,\frac{kg}{kmol}$ , $R_{u} = 8.314\,\frac{kPa\cdot m^{2}}{kmol\cdot K}$ and $T = 300\,K$ , then the density of air is:
