A container in the shape of a cube 10.0 cm on each edge contains air (with equivalent molar mass 28.9 g/mol) at atmospheric pres

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a) m = 1.174 grams

b) F_g = 0.01151 N

c) F_c = 1013 N

Explanation:

Given:

- The length of a cube L = 10.0 cm

- The molar mass of air M = 28.9 g/mol

- Pressure of air P = 101.3 KPa

- Temperature of air T = 300 K

- Universal Gas constant R = 8.314 J/kgK

Find:

(a) the mass of the gas

(b) the gravitational force exerted on it

(c) the force it exerts on each face of the cube

(d) Why does such a small sample exert such a great force? (6%)

Solution:

- Compute the volume of the cube:

V = L^3 = 0.1^3 = 0.001 m^3

- Use Ideal gas law equation and compute number of moles of air n:

P*V = n*R*T

n = P*V / R*T

n = 101.3*10^3 * 0.001 / 8.314*300

n = 0.04061 moles

- Compute the mass of the gas:

m = n*M

m = 0.04061*28.9

m = 1.174 grams

- The gravitational force exerted on the mass of gas is due to its weight:

F_g = m*g

F_g = 1.174*9.81*10^-3

F_g = 0.01151 N

- The force exerted on each face of cube is due its surface area:

F_c = P*A

F_c = (101.3*10^3)*(0.1)^2

F_c = 1013 N

- The molecules of a gas have high kinetic energy; hence, high momentum. When they collide with the walls they transfer momentum per unit time as force. Higher the velocity of the particles higher the momentum higher the force exerted.

An airplane flies 20km in a direction 60 degrees north of east, then 30 km straight east, then 10km straight north. How far and

Fed [463]

Answer:

48.4 km, 34.3° north of east

Explanation:

Let's say east is the +x direction and north is the +y direction.

Adding up the x components of the vectors:

x = 20 cos 60 + 30 + 0

x = 40 km

Adding up the y components of the vectors:

y = 20 sin 60 + 0 + 10

y = 27.3 km

The magnitude of the displacement is:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 48.4 km

The direction is:

θ = atan(y/x)

θ = 34.3° north of east

A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know about the spee

Komok [63]

Answer:

The fastest satellite must change orbit

The most massive body (m₁) transfers more momentum to the satellite,

Explanation:

For this problem we consider a system formed by the satellite and each of the bodies with which it collides, in this system the forces during the collision are internal, the amount of movement must be conserved. Let's write the momentum is two instants

Most massive body (m1)

initial. Before the crash

p₀₁ = M v + m₁ v₁

after the crash

$p_{f1}$ = M v´ + m₁ v₁´

how momentum is conserved

p₀ = p_{f}

Lighter body (m2)

p₀₂ = M v + m₂ v₂

p_{f2} = M v´ + m₂ v₂´

Let's clarify that the speed of the satellite and the object do not have the same direction, in general these shocks are elastic.

We can see that p₀₁> p₀₂

Let us analyze the two cases when the body collides, The most massive body (m₁) transfers more momentum to the satellite, therefore there must be a greater change in its momentum and velocity.

The fastest satellite must change orbit, thus rotating at a different distance from Earth
