<span>This question is answered by using Boyle's law which states that P1V1=P2V2. Therefore 3ml x 810mmHg = 1.7ml * P2. P2 in this case is 1429mmHg. Air flow would be out of the body into the environment, where atmospheric pressure is approximately 760 mmHg. Higher pressure flows into lower pressure areas.</span>

The new pressure would be about 1430 mmHg.

Air would flow out of the alveolus.

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Ideal Gas Law and Work formula that needs to be recalled is:

\boxed {PV = nRT}

\boxed { W = P \Delta V }

<em>where:</em>

<em>W = Work ( J )</em>

<em>P = Pressure ( Pa )</em>

<em>V = Volume ( m³ )</em>

<em>n = number of moles ( moles )</em>

<em>R = Gas Constant ( 8.314 J/mol K )</em>

<em>T = Absolute Temperature ( K )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial volume = V₁ = 3 ml

initial pressure = P₁ = 810 mmHg

final volume = V₂ = 1.7 ml

<u>Asked:</u>

final pressure = P₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Boyle's Law</em><em> to solve this problem as follows:</em>

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

810 \times 3 = P_2 \times 1.7

P_2 = 2430 \div 1.7

P_2 \approx 1430 \texttt{ mmHg}

\texttt{ }

At sea level , the atmospheric pressure (Po) is about 760 mmHg.

Because P₂ > Po , air would flow out of the alveolus.

A 0.00275 kg air‑inflated balloon is given an excess negative charge q1 =−3.50×10−8 C by rubbing it with a blanket. It is found
kati45 [8]

Answer:

1)  \rm q_2 is<u> positive.</u>

<u></u>

2) \rm q_2=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.

Explanation:

<h2><u>Part 1:</u></h2>

<u></u>

The charged rod is held above the balloon and the weight of the balloon acts in downwards direction. To balance the weight of the balloon, the force on the balloon due to the rod must be directed along the upwards direction, which is only possible when the rod exerts an attractive force on the balloon and the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is attractive when the polarities of the charge on the two are different.

Thus, In order for this to occur, the polarity of charge on the rod must be positive, i.e., \rm q_2 is <u>positive.</u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>Part 2:</u></h2>

<u></u>

<u>Given:</u>

  • Mass of the balloon, m = 0.00275 kg.
  • Charge on the balloon, \rm q_1 = -3.50\times 10^{-8}\ C.
  • Distance between the rod and the balloon, d = 0.0640 m.
  • Acceleration due to gravity, \rm g = 9.81\ m/s^2.

In order to balloon to be float in air, the weight of the balloom must be balanced with the electrostatic force on the balloon due to rod.

Weight of the balloon, \rm W = mg = 0.00275\times 9.81=2.70\times 10^{-2}\ N.

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is given by

\rm F_e = \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}.

\rm \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o} is the Coulomb's constant.

For the elecric force and the weight to be balanced,

\rm F_e = W\\\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}=W\\8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{3.50\times10^{-8}\times |q_2| }{0.0640^2}=2.70\times 10^{-2}\\|q_2| = \dfrac{2.70\times 10^{-2}\times 0.00640^2}{8.99\times 10^9\times 2.70\times 10^{-7}}=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.

A coin and feather are dropped in a moon. what will fall earlier on ground.give reasons.if they are dropped in the earth,which o
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

  • on the moon, they will fall at the time
  • on earth, the coin will fall faster to the ground

Explanation:

A coin and feather dropped in a moon experience the same acceleration due to gravity as small as 1.625 m/s², and because of the absence of air resistance both will fall at the same rate to the ground.

If the same coin and feather are dropped in the earth, they will experience the same acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s² and because of the presence of air resistance, the heavier object (coin) will be pulled faster to the ground by gravity than the lighter object (feather).

What is the magnitude of your displacement when you follow directions that tell you to walk 100.0m north, then 25.0m East?
atroni [7]

Answer:

Displacement from the starting position is 103.21m

Explanation:

If you draw these directions, it will create the two legs of a triangle.

Using this method, you can visualize why your displacement is what it is.

Using the pythagorean theorem

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

Plug in both values

{100m}^{2}  +  {25m}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

c =  \sqrt{10652}

c = 103.2085

c= 103.21

49. A block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(a) 37.5 kg

(b) 4

Explanation:

Force, F = 150 N

kinetic friction coefficient = 0.15

(a) acceleration, a = 2.53 m/s^2

According to the newton's second law

Net force = mass x acceleration

F - friction force = m a

150 - 0.15 x m g = m a

150 = m (2.53 + 0.15 x 9.8)

m = 37.5 kg

(b) As the block moves with the constant speed so the applied force becomes the friction force.

F = \mu m g \\\\150 = \mu\times 37.5\\\\\mu = 4
