The speed of sound in gases is represented mathematically as:

v(sound) = √γRT/M

where γ = adiabatic constant which is the ratio of the heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume; Cp/Cv

R = gas constant

T = temperature

M = molar mass of the gas

Hence, the speed of sound in gas is directly proportional to the square root of temperature.

Ans: c) temperature

An electron is accelerated within a particle accelerator using a 100 MV electric potential. The 100 MeV electron moves along an

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The length of the tube is 3.92 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric potential = 100 MV

Length = 4 m

Energy = 100 MeV

We need to calculate the value of $\gamma$

Using formula of relativistic energy

$E=m_{0}c^2(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)$

Put the value into the formula

$1.6\times10^{-15}= 9.1\times`10^{-31}\times9\times10^{16}(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)$

$(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)=\dfrac{1.6\times10^{-15}}{9.1\times10^{-31}\times9\times10^{16}}$

Here, $\gamma-1=(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)$

$\gamma-1=0.01953$

$\gamma=0.01953+1$

$\gamma=1.01953$

We need to calculate the length

Using formula of length

$L'=\dfrac{L}{\gamma}$

Put the value into the formula

$L'=\dfrac{4}{1.01953}$

$L'=3.92\ m$

Hence, The length of the tube is 3.92 m.

Help meee please fill in the blanks !!

The atomic number is the simply the number of protons in the atom. So in the first row with atomic number 2, the number of protons is 2.

If the atom has no charge, which I think you can assume for all of these, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the number of electrons is also 2.

The number of neutrons (which are the particles with no charge in the nucleus) is simply the mass number minus the atomic number i.e. 4 - 2 = 2.

The isotopic symbol is the symbol which is found on the periodic table of elements. There are 2 numbers associated which each element on the table. The larger is the mass number and the smaller is the atomic number. The atomic number or number of protons is what identifies the element. Looking at the periodic table ( https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/PeriodicTableOfTheElementsBW.pdf or https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(big) ), it can be seen that the element on the first row above with an atomic number of 2 is Helium with a symbol He. The number that is included with the name is simply the mass number which is 4 in this case, which tells us that this type of helium has 2 neutrons.

Another type (or isotope) of helium is Helium-3 which has one neutron.

Sitting in a chairlift, Rebecca has a gravitational potential energy of 5,997.6

stira [4]

Answer:

B) 12 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Given PE = 5997.6 J, and m = 51 kg:

5997.6 J = (51 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 12 m

A 1400 kg car starts from rest on a horizontal road and gains a speed of 61 km/h in 19 s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at the

lana [24]

(a) Let's convert the final speed of the car in m/s:
$v_f = 61 km/h = 16.9 m/s$
The kinetic energy of the car at t=19 s is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2= \frac{1}{2}(1400 kg)(16.9 m/s)^2=2.00 \cdot 10^5 J$

(b) The average power delivered by the engine of the car during the 19 s is equal to the work done by the engine divided by the time interval:
$P= \frac{W}{\Delta t}$
But the work done is equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the car, and since its initial kinetic energy is zero (because the car starts from rest), this translates into
$P= \frac{K}{\Delta t}= \frac{2.00 \cdot 10^5 J}{19 s}=1.05 \cdot 10^4 W$

(c) The instantaneous power is given by
$P_i = Fv_f$
where F is the force exerted by the engine, equal to F=ma.

So we need to find the acceleration first:
$a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}= \frac{16.9 m/s}{19 s}=0.89 m/s^2$
And the problem says this acceleration is constant during the motion, so now we can calculate the instantaneous power at t=19 s:
$P_i = Fv=(ma)v=(1400 kg)(0.89 m/s^2)(16.9 m/s)=2.11 \cdot 10^4 W$

A 75 W lightbulb is being run on a 110 V outlet. Determine the resistance of the lightbulb. Provide a detailed description of th

Sauron [17]

Power is defined as

P = I*V

where I is the current and V is the voltage

Ohm's law gives us the relation betwen Voltage and current in a resistive component

V = I*R , Then

P = V² / R

We solve for R,

R = (110 V)²/ 75W = 161.33 ohms
