The atmosphere of Mars is almost all carbon dioxide and the average surface pressure is 610 Pa (as compared with 101,000 Pa on E

arth). A model for the temperature in the atmosphere is given by: T = To (e)^-Cz, where C m/s?. where C=1.1 E-5 /m. Assume ideal gas behavior. The gravitational acceleration is g = 3.71 m/s2. Determine: (a) analytic equation for the variation of pressure with altitude (b) the altitude [m] where the pressure is 10 Pa.

Answer:

   z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Explanation:

a) As they indicate that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas, we can use the equation

          P V = n R T

          P = (n r / V) T

We replace

         P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

b) Let's apply this equation in the points

Lower

        .z = 0

         P₀ = 610 Pa

         P₀ = (nR / V) T₀

Higher.

         P = 10 Pa

          P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

We replace

        P = P₀ e^{- C z}

        e^{- C z} = P / P₀

        C z = ln P₀ / P

        z = 1 / C ln P₀ / P

Let's calculate

        z = 1 / 1.1 10⁻⁵ ln (610/10)

        z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.
dezoksy [38]
The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s

Given p=mv, with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}=  2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J

One end of a metal rod is in contact with a thermal reservoir at 745. K, and the other end is in contact with a thermal reservoi
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a)S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)S_2=71.18\ J/K

c) 0 J/K

d)S= 61.53 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 745 K

T₂ = 101 K

Q= 7190 J

a)

The entropy change of reservoir 745 K

S_1=-\dfrac{7190}{745}\ J/K

Negative sign because heat is leaving.

S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)

The entropy change of reservoir 101 K

S_2=\dfrac{7190}{101}\ J/K

S_2=71.18\ J/K

c)

The entropy change of the rod will be zero.

d)

The entropy change of the system

S= S₁ + S₂

S = 71.18 - 9.65 J/K

S= 61.53 J/K

A 900 kg car travelling at 12 m/s due east collides with a 600 kg car travelling at 24 m/s due north. As a result of the collisi
katrin [286]

Calculate force of each car:

P1 = 900 kg x 12m/s = 10,800

P2= 600 x 24 = 14,400

Degree of travel = arctan(14,300/10800)

Degree of travel = 53.1 N of E

Two toroidal solenoids are wound around the same form so that the magnetic field of one passes through the turns of the other. S
dedylja [7]

The concept that we need here to give a proper solution is mutual inductance.

The mutual inductance  is given by the expression

M=\frac{N\Phi}{I}

Where,

I = current

N = Number of turns

\Phi =Flux through the solenoid.

Part A) Then we have in our values that,

I=6.6A

\Phi= 3.50*10^{-2}Wb

N=450

Replacing in the equation,

M = \frac{450*350*10^{-2}}{6.60}

M = 2.39H

Part B) Here is required the Flux, then using the same expression we have that

\Phi = \frac{IM'}{N}

We conserve the same value for the Inductance but now we have a current of 2.6, then

\Phi = \frac{2.6*2.39}{690}

\Phi = 9*10^{-3}Wb

Therefore the flux in Solenoid 1 is 9*10^{-3}Wb
