A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr

const2013 [10]

Answer:

$388 cm^3$

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

$pV=const.$

which can also be rewritten as

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

In our case, we have:

$p_1 = 75.9 kPa$ is the initial pressure

$V_1 = 639 cm^3$ is the initial volume

$p_2 = 125 kPa$ is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

$v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3$

You are driving at the speed of 27.7 m/s (61.9764 mph) when suddenly the car in front of you (previously traveling at the same s

densk [106]

Here when car in front of us applied brakes then it is slowing down due to frictional force on it

So here we can say that friction force on the car front of our car is given as

$F_f = \mu m g$

So the acceleration of car due to friction is given as

$F_{net} = - \mu mg$

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}$

$a = -\mu g$

now it is given that

$\mu = 0.868$

$g = 9.81 m/s^2$

so here we have

$a = -0.868 * 9.81$

$a = -8.52 m/s^2$

so the car will accelerate due to brakes by a = - 8.52 m/s^2

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar, F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k$ = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

$f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg$

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$f = 0.3\times108\times9.8$

or

$f = 317.52N$

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

$F_{Net}= F-f$

Substituting the values in the equation we get

$F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N$

or

$F_{Net}= 216.48$

also,

$F_{Net}= M\times$ acceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{F_{Net}}{M}$

or

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{216.48}{108}$

or

acceleration of the safe= $2.00 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be 2.00 m/s²
