Answer:

32.71 L

Explanation:

We can solve this question using Boyle's law of ideal gas. The law states that the volume and pressure are inversely proportional when the temperature is constant. At first, the volume is 18L (V1) and the pressure is 87.6 kPa(P1). Then the pressure changed into 48.2 kPa(P2). We are asked to find the volume(V2).

The calculation will be:

P1 * V1= P2 * V2

87.6 kPa *18L = 48.2 kPa * V2

V2= 87.6 kPa *18L / 48.2 kPa

V2=32.71 L

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The force that two particle experience is inversely proportional to the sqare of the distance, this is:

$F \ \alpha \ \frac{1}{D^{2}}$ for a distance D

If we move them so that D is doubled:

$\frac{1}{2^{2}.D^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{4} \eq \frac{1}{.D^{2} } \eq$

Then the force they experience is one fourth of the original.

A physical pendulum in the form of a planar object moves in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 0.460 Hz. The pendulum ha

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is $I =1.0697 \ kg m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequency is $f = 0.460 \ Hz$

The mass of the pendulum is $m = 2.40 \ kg$

The location of the pivot from the center is $d = 0.380 \ m$

Generally the period of the simple harmonic motion is mathematically represented as

$T = 2 \pi * \sqrt{ \frac{I}{ m * g * d } }$

Where I is the moment of inertia about the pivot point , so making I the subject of the formula it

=> $I = [ \frac{T}{2 \pi } ]^2 * m* g * d$

But the period of this simple harmonic motion can also be represented mathematically as

$T = \frac{1}{f}$

substituting values

$T = \frac{1}{0.460}$

$T = 2.174 \ s$

$I = [ \frac{2.174}{2 * 3.142 } ]^2 * 2.40* 9.8 * 0.380$

$I =1.0697 \ kg m^2$

a person does 100 joules of work in pulling back the string of a bow. what will be the initial speed of a 0.5 kg arrow when it i

eduard

If all the energy she put into bending the bow is completely
transmitted to the arrow, then the arrow has the 100 joules
of kinetic energy when it leaves the bow.

   Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   100 J = (1/2) (0.5 kg) (speed²)

Divide each side by 0.25 kg: 100 J / 0.25 kg = speed²

[ joule ] = [ newton-meter ] = kg-m²/sec²

100 kg-m²/sec² / 0.25 kg = speed²

   400 m²/sec² = speed²

Take the square root of each side: speed = √400 m/s

    20 m/s

      (about 44.7 mph)
