Initial volume of the gas (V1) = 10 inches^3
Initial pressure (P1) = 5 psi
Final pressure after compression of the gas (P1) = 10 psi
Let us assume the final volume of the gas (V2) = x
According to Boyle's Gas law, the pressure and volume of a gas remains constant under ideal condition. Then
P1V1= P2V2
5 * 10 = 10 * x
50 = 10x
x = 50/10
   = 5 cubic inches
So the volume of the gas after it was compressed was 5 cubic inches. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Find the acceleration of an object that has a mass of 6 kg, if it is acted upon by a net force of 42 N.
pychu [463]

Answer:

7 m/s²

Explanation:

The formula for force is:

f= m*a

We want to find acceleration, so we must rearrange the formula for a. Divide both sides of the equation by m

\frac{f}{m}=\frac{m*a}{m}

\frac{f}{m}=a

Acceleration can be found by dividing the force by the mass.

The force is 42 newtons and the mass is 6 kilograms. A newton is equal to 1 kg * m/s², therefore the force is 42 kg* m/s².

f= 42 kg*m/s^2\\m=6 kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

a=\frac{f}{m}

a=\frac{42 kg*m/s^2}{6kg}

Divide. When we divide, the kg in the numerator and denominator will cancel each other out.

a=\frac{42}{6}m/s^2

a= 7 m/s^2

The acceleration of the object is 7 meters per square seconds.

what is the closest to the order of magnitude of the energy rquired to split a nucleus in to its individual protons and neutrons
skad [1K]

Answer:

More than two million electron volts.

Explanation:

More than two million electron volts energy are needed to break or split a deuteron into a proton and a neutron. Nuclear binding energy is the type of energy that is required to split an atom's nucleus into protons and neutrons. The deuteron is an isotope of hydrogen that is composed of a proton and a neutron and it is a stable particle. Very huge amount of energy is needed for the splitting of nucleus due to the presence of heavy particles i.e. proton and neutron.

A 15.0 kg fish swimming at 1.10 m/s suddenly gobbles up a 4.50 kg fish that is initially stationary. Ignore any drag effects of
Nana76 [90]

Answer

given.

Mass of big fish = 15 Kg

speed of big fish = 1.10 m/s

mass of the small fish = 4.50 Kg

speed of the fish after eating small fish =?

a) using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂) V

15 x 1.10 + 4.50 x 0 = (15 + 4.5)V

16.5 = 19.5 V

V = 0.846 m/s

b) Kinetic energy before collision

KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 15 \times 1.1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2\times 0^2

KE₁ = 9.075 J

Kinetic energy after collision

KE_2= \dfrac{1}{2}(15+4.5)\times 0.846^2

KE₂ = 6.98 J

Change in KE = 6.98 - 9.075 = -2.096 J

hence,

mechanical energy was dissipated during this meal = -2.096 J

If a farsighted person has a near point that is 0.600 mm from the eye, what is the focal length f2f2f_2 of the contact lenses th
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.22mm

Explanation:

A far sighted person is a person suffering from long sightedness i.e such individual can only see far distant object clearly but not near distant object. The defect is corrected using convex lens.

Since convex lens is used, the focal (f) length of the lens is positive and the image distance (v) is also positive.

Using the lens formula,

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

Where u is the object distance = 0.35mm

v = 0.6mm

1/f = 1/0.35+1/0.6

1/f = 2.86 + 1.67

1/f = 4.53

f = 1/4.53

f = 0.22mm

The focal length of the contact lenses will be 0.22mm
