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.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

average speed  is 0.159 m/s

average velocity = 0.0011 m/s

Explanation:

given data

time = 41.6 s

total distance = 6.65 m

length = 0.0463 m

to find out

average speed and the magnitude average velocity

solution

we know average speed formula is

average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}   ...............1

put here value

average speed = \frac{6.65}{41.6}

average speed  is 0.159 m/s

and

average velocity formula is

average velocity = \frac{displacement}{total time}   ...............2

here displacement is initial point to final point and here is 0.0463 m

put here value

average velocity = \frac{0.0463}{41.6}

average velocity = 0.0011 m/s

If the lens in a person's eye is too highly curved, this person is suffering from?
Xelga [282]

If the lens in a person's eye is too highly curved, this person is suffering from: nearsightedness.

lens is a piece of transparent material (such as glass) that has two opposite regular surfaces either both curved or one curved and the other plane and that is used either singly or combined in an optical instrument for forming an image by focusing rays of light.

The lens is used to form an image of an object by focusing rays of light from the object.

Various types of lenses are :

  • Concave lens.
  • Convex lens.
  • Plano lens.

How much energy becomes unavailable for work in an isothermal process at 440 k, if the entropy increase is 25 j/k?
just olya [345]
Answer: 11,000 J

Explanation:

In an isothermal process,

\text{entropy increase} =  \frac{\text{amount of energy in heat transfer}}{\text{temperature} }  (1)

Note that, the energy used in heat transfer is not available for work. So, the amount of energy unavailable for work is equal to the energy used in heat transfer.

To obtain the amount of energy in heat transfer, we multiply both sides of equation (1) by the denominator of the right side of (1) so that 

amount of energy in heat transfer = (entropy increase)(temperature)
                                                      = (25 J/K)(440 K)
                                                      = 11,000 J

Since the amount of energy unavailable for work is equal to the amount of energy in the heat transfer, therefore the amount of energy unavailable for work is 11,000 J.
