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.

Please help! Average speed. Show work!
KiRa [710]

Answer:

3.78 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for average speed is given by

Speed = Distance ÷ Time taken

Where,

Speed = we are asked to find this

Distance = given as 340m

Time taken = 1.5 min = 1.5 x 60 = 90 seconds

Substituting the values into the equation:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time taken

= 340 meters  ÷ 90 seconds

= 3.777777 m/s

= 3.78 m/s (round to nearest hundredth)

You are in a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is known to be 3.28 m/s^2. You drop a ball and record that the ball ta
notsponge [240]
B) 7.87 m/s

The gravitational pull is the rate of change of velocity which is the acceleration. Formula for acceleration is;
a =  \frac{final \: velocity - initial \: velocity}{time \: taken}

Given:

• Initial velocity = 0m/s; I dropped the ball, and didn't throw it, so it was at rest firstly
• Time taken = 2.40s
• Acceleration = 3.28m/s^2

We're require to find the final velocity, at which the ball hit the ground with. Ignoring air resistance, keep in mind that the velocity of an object increases as it comes closer to the ground.

3.28  =  \frac{final \: velocity - 0}{2.40}
3.28 \times 2.40 = final \: velocity
final \: velocity = 7.872 \frac{m}{ {s} }

madreJ [45]

Answer: motion parallax

Explanation:

Motion parallax refers to a form of depth perception whereby objects that are closer to an individual appears to move at a faster speed than the objects that are far.

Therefore, Kate is riding on a train and notices that the wildflowers by the side of the tracks seem to be moving by much faster than the mountains in the distance is an example of motion parallax.
