The pressure gauge shown below has a spring for which k = 60 N/m, and the area of the piston is 0.50 cm2. Its right end is conne

cted to a closed container of gas at a gauge pressure of 30 kPa. How far will the spring be compressed if the region containing the spring is (a) in vacuum, and (b) open to the atmosphere? Atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa; use Hooke’s law

Answer:

0.025 m

0.059166 m

Explanation:

P = Pressure

A = Area

x = Compression of spring

Force is given by

F=PA\\\Rightarrow F=30000\times 0.5\times 10^{-4}\\\Rightarrow F=1.5\ N

From Hooke's law

F=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.5}{60}\\\Rightarrow x=0.025\ m

The spring is compressed 0.025 m

In the second case

F_1=1.5\ N

F_2=101000\times 0.5\times 10^{-4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=5.05\ N

Net force would be

F=F_2-F_1\\\Rightarrow F=5.05-1.5\\\Rightarrow F=3.55\ N

Compression would be

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3.55}{60}\\\Rightarrow x=0.059167\ m

The compression of the spring is 0.059166 m

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.

There is an electric field in the region between the two plates. The magnitude of this electric field is ed. This imposes anothe
krok68 [10]

Answer:

it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

Explanation:

The configuration of parallel plates is called a capacitor and is widely used to create constant electric fields inside.

 To obtain this field it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

This is so that the fields created by each plate can be added inside and subtracted from the outside of the plates

nadya68 [22]

Explanation:

hydrogen is primarily produce by steam reforming of natural gas... Methane reacts with steam under 3 -25 bar pressure in the presence of a catalyst to "Produce Hydrogen " , carbon monoxide, and the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. For steam to proceed, heat must be supplied to the process. Furthermore , new research from Transport & Environment shows that diesel cars not only pollute the air but also emit more climate change emissions (co2) than petroleum gas cars whenever compared to diesel fueled vehicles lifetime. In fact, diesel engines emits 3.65 tonnes of co2 more than a petrol engine equivalent.
