The experiments that claimed to demonstrate cold fusion were found
to have been faulty by others who reviewed them. Also, nobody else
was
able to reproduce the finding in other laboratories. In the world
of
Science, this pretty much says that the initial claims were unfounded.
Answer:
The correct answers are
(a) It decreases to 1/3 L
(ii) is (c) It is constant
Explanation:
to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem
The given variables are as follows
Initial volume V1 = 1L
V2 = Unknown
Initial Temperature T1 = 300K
let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic
At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere
at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,
For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant
by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2
or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 =
× 
= 
× L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L
Answer:
The relative uncertainty gives the uncertainty as a percentage of the original value. Work this out with: Relative uncertainty = (absolute uncertainty ÷ best estimate) × 100%. So in the example above: Relative uncertainty = (0.2 cm ÷ 3.4 cm) × 100% = 5.9%. The value can therefore be quoted as 3.4 cm ± 5.9%.

Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.
Explanation:
momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.
The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s
In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.
The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum
In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.
