Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the eq

uation PV = C, where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 400 cm3, the pressure is 160 kPa, and the pressure is increasing at a rate of 40 kPa/min. At what rate is the volume decreasing at this instant?

Answer:

100 cm^3/min

Explanation:

PV = C

V = 400 cm^3

P = 160 kPa

dP/dt = + 40 kPa/min

According to the question

PV = C

Differentiate both sides with respect to time

P x dV/dt + V x dP/dt = 0

160 x dV/dt = - 400 x 40

dV/dt = - 100 cm^3/min

The volume decreases by the rate of 100 cm^3/min.

Answer:

Current needed = 704A

Explanation:

Using the fomula; torque(τ) = (I)(A)(B)Sinθ

Where B = uniform magnetic field

I = current and A = Area

Diameter = 19cm = 0.19m so, radius = 0.19/2 = 0.095m

Area(A) = πr^(2) = πr^(2)

= π(0.095)^(2) = 0.0284 m^(2)

Now, B(earth)= 5x10^-5 T

While, we can ignore the angle because it's insignificant since the angle of the wire is oriented for maximum torque in the earth's field.

Now, if we arrange the formula to solve for charge (I):

I = (τ)/(A)(B)

I = (1.0x10^-3) / (0.0284)(5x10^-5)

I = 704A

Light of wavelength 550 nm falls on a
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The first diffraction maximum fringe will be at approximately 2.7 meters from the central maximum.

Explanation:

We can describe single slit diffraction phenomenon with the equation:

a\sin\theta=m\lambda (1)

with θ the angular position of the minimum of order m respect the central maximum, a the slit width and λ the wavelength of the incident light. Because the distances between the first minima and the central maximum (y_{m}) are small compared to the distance between the screen and the slit (x), we can approximate \sin\theta\approx\tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}, using this on (1):

a\frac{y_{m}}{x}=m\lambda

solving for y

y_{m}= \frac{mx\lambda}{a}

Note that y_{m}is the distance between a minimum and the central maximum but we need the position of a maximum not a minimum, here we can use the fact that a maximum is approximately between two minima, so the first diffraction maximum fringe is between the minima of order 1 and 2, so we should find y_{1}, y_{2} add them and divide by two:

y_{1}= \frac{(1)(10.0m)(550\times10^{-9}\,m)}{3.00\times10^{-6}\,m}

y_{1}= 1.8 m

y_{2}= \frac{(2)(10.0m)(550\times10^{-9}\,m)}{3.00\times10^{-6}\,m}

y_{1}= 3.6 m

maximum = \frac{1.8+3.6}{2}=2.7m

<span>The net force acting on an object is the sum of all the force acting on it, and the net force of an object is zero. I f the forces acting on it tend to cancel each other.
