<span>Answer: We have pressure from the weight of the piston + atmospheric pressure acting on the gas pressure from the piston... P = F / area = mass x acceleration due to gravity / area P = (24 kg x 9.80 m/s²) / (90 cm² x (1m/100cm)²) = 26133 N/m² = 2.61x10^4 Pa = 26.1 kPa total pressure acting on the gas = 26+85 kPa = 111 kPa then.. via clausius clapeyron equation.. ln(P1 / P2) = (dHvap / R) x (1 / T2 - 1 / T1) and if I pick say.. the normal boiling point of water for P2, T2.. then... P1 = 111 kPa P2 = 101.325 kPa dHvap = 40680 J/mole R = 8.314 J/moleK T2 = 373.15 K T1 = ?? ---> T1 = 102.46°</span>

Answer:

d=\frac{2g(m1-m2)}{k}

Explanation:

For this we're going to use conservation of mechanical energy because there are nor dissipative forces as friction. So, the change on mechanical energy (E) should be zero, that means:

E_{i}=E_{f}

K_{i}+U_{i}=K_{f}+U_{f} (1)

With K_{i} the initial kinetic energy, U_{i} the initial potential energy, K_{f} the final kinetic energy and U_{f} the final potential energy. Note that initialy the masses are at rest so K_{i} = 0, when they are released the block 2 moves downward because m2>m1 and finally when the mass 2 reaches its maximum displacement the blocks will be instantly at rest so K_{f} =0. So, equation (1) becomes:

U_{i}=U_{f} (2)

At initial moment all the potential energy is gravitational because the spring is not stretched so U_{i}=U_{gi} and at final moment we have potential gravitational energy and potential elastic energy so U_{f}=U_{gf}+U_{ef}, using this on (2)

U_{gi}=U_{gf}+U_{ef} (3)

Additional if we define the cero of potential gravitational energy as sketched on the figure below (See image attached), U_{gi}=0 and we have by (3) :

0= U_{gf}+U_{ef} (4)

Now when the block 1 moves a distance d upward the block 2 moves downward a distance d too (to maintain a constant length of the rope) and the spring stretches a distance d, so (4) is:

0=-m1gd+m2gd+\frac{kd^{2}}{2}

dividing both sides by d

0=-m1g+m2g+\frac{kd}{2}

g(m1-m2)= \frac{kd}{2}

d=\frac{2g(m1-m2)}{k}, with k the constant of the spring and g the gravitational acceleration.

With that push, they have accelerated their masses, which means they have _____ of their bodies.
nexus9112 [7]

As per Definition of acceleration we know that rate of change in velocity of object is known as acceleration

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

so when we apply push on an object that push or applied force will change the velocity of object always

so correct answer must be

a.) changed the velocity

Importance of liquid pressure
trapecia [35]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Both the water in the ocean and the air in the atmosphere exert pressure because of their moving particles. ... This causes greater pressure. Denser fluids such as water exert more pressure than less dense fluids such as air. The particles of denser fluids are closer together, so there are more collisions in a given area.
