Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.

An ideal monatomic gas at temperature T is held in a container. If the gas is compressed isothermally, that is at constant tempe

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 0 J

b) W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

c) ΔQ = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

d) ΔQ = W

Explanation:

a) To find the change in the internal energy you use the 1st law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q-W$

Q: heat transfer

W: work done by the gas

The gas is compressed isothermally, then, there is no change in the internal energy and you have

ΔU = 0 J

b) The work is done by the gas, not over the gas.

The work is given by the following formula:

$\\W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})$

n: moles

R: ideal gas constant

T: constant temperature

Vf: final volume

Vi: initial volume

Vf < Vi, then W < 0 and the work is done on the gas

c) The gas has been compressed. Thus, its temperature increases and heat has been transferred to the gas.

The amount of heat is equal to the work done W

$\Delta U = \Delta Q-W\\\\0=\Delta Q-W\\\\\Delta Q=W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})$

Two 1.0 kg masses are 4.0 m apart on a frictionless table. Each has 1.0μC of charge. Part A What is the magnitude of the electri

9966 [12]

Force between two charges is given by

$F =\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$F =\frac{9*10^9* 1* 10^{-6}* 1 * 10^{-6}}{4^2}$

$F = 5.625 * 10^{-4} N$

Now in order to find the acceleration of each mass

we can use

F = ma

$5.625 * 10^{-4} = 1 * a$

$a= 5.625 * 10^{-4} m/s^2$

According to one set of measurements, the tensile strength of hair is 196 MPa , which produces a maximum strain of 0.380 in the

slega [8]

Answer:

(a). The magnitude of the force is 0.38416 N.

(b). The original length is 0.0869 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Tensile strength = 196 MPa

Maximum strain = 0.380

Diameter = 50.0 μm

Length = 12.0 cm

We need to calculate the area

Using formula of area

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times d^2$

Put the value into the formula

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times(50.0\times10^{-6})^2$

$A=1.96\times10^{-9}\ m^2$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the force

Using formula of force

$F=\sigma A$

Put the value into the formula

$F=196\times10^{6}\times1.96\times10^{-9}$

$F=0.38416\ N$

(b). If the length of a strand of the hair is 12.0 cm at its breaking point

We need to calculate the unstressed length

Using formula of strain

$strain=\dfrac{\Delta l}{l_{0}}$

$\Delta l=strain\times l_{0}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta l=0.380\times l_{0}$

Length after expansion is 12 cm

We need to calculate the original length

Using formula of length

$l=l_{0}+\Delta l$

Put the value into the formula

$I=l_{0}+0.380\times l_{0}$

$l=1.38l_{0}$

$l_{0}=\dfrac{l}{1.38}$

$l_{0}=\dfrac{12\times10^{-2}}{1.38}$

$l_{0}=0.0869\ m$

Hence, (a). The magnitude of the force is 0.38416 N.

(b). The original length is 0.0869 m.
