The correct answer is:

The volume of the gas decreases

Explanation:

As the piston is forced down work is done on the gas. The force exercised by the gas pressure on the piston is in the adverse direction of the motion of the piston. The volume of the space the gas absorbs decreases. When we let go of the piston the gas extends. The force exercised by the gas is in the similar direction as the motion of the piston and work is done by the system.

The average density of the body of a fish is 1080 kg/m3. To keep from sinking, the fish increases its volumeby inflating an inte
Dimas [21]

Answer:

f = 8 %

Explanation:

given,

density of body of fish = 1080 kg/m³

density of air = 1.2 Kg/m³

density of water = 1000 kg/m²

to protect the fish from sinking volume should increased by the factor f

density of fish + density of water x increase factor = volume changes in water                                                    

1080 +f x 1.2 =(1 + f ) x 1000                

1080 + f x 1.2 = 1000 + 1000 f      

998.8 f = 80                                  

f = 0.0800                            

f = 8 %                                        

the volume increase factor of fish will be equal to f = 8 %

A small airplane takes on 302 l of fuel. If the density of the fuel is 0.821 g/ml, what mass of fuel has the airplane taken on?
ella [17]

To calculate the mass of the fuel, we use the formula

m = V \times  \rho

Here, m is the mass of fuel, V is the volume of the fuel and its value is V =302 \ L =  302 \ L \times \frac{10^{3}m L }{L} = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL and  \rho is the density and its value of  0.821 g/mL.

Substituting these values in above relation, we get  

m = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL \times 0.821 g/mL = 247942 g \\\\ m = 247. 94 \ kg

Thus, the mass of the fuel 247 .94 kg.

A 20.00 kg lead sphere is hanging from a hook by a thin, massless wire 2.80 m long and is free to swing in a complete circle. Tr
Tema [17]

The minimum initial speed of the dart so that the combination makes a complete circular loop after the collision is 58.5 m/s.

<h3>Minimum speed for the object not fall out of the circle</h3>

The minimum speed if given by tension in the wire;

T + mg = ma

T + mg = m(v²)/R

tension must be zero for the object not fall

0 + mg = mv²/R

v = √(Rg)

<h3>Final speed of the two mass after collision</h3>

Use the principle of conservation of energy

K.Ef  = K.Ei + P.E

¹/₂mvf² = ¹/₂mv² + mg(2R)

¹/₂vf² = ¹/₂v² + g(2R)

¹/₂vf² = ¹/₂(Rg) + g(2R)

vf² = Rg + 4Rg

vf² = 5Rg

vf = √(5Rg)

vf = √(5 x 2.8 x 9.8)

vf = 11.7 m/s

<h3>Initial speed of the dart</h3>

Apply principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

5v = vf(20 + 5)

5v = 11.7(25)

5v = 292.5

v = 58.5 m/s

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first conver
denis23 [38]

Answer:

1. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first converted to thermal energy. TRUE.

The chemical energy in the coal is converted to thermal energy when the coal is burnt to produce steam.

2. In a coal-fired power plant, approximately 2/5 of original energy in the coal is lost to heat. FALSE.

Approximately 3/5 of the original energy is lost not 2/5 so this statement is false.

3. The molecules in cold air move faster than in hot air. FALSE.

Molecules with more heat move faster than molecules with less. Molecules in cold air therefore, will move slower than molecules in hot air.
