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

Yanka [14]

Answer:

4.7 m³

Explanation:

We'll use the gas law P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

* Givens :

P1 = 101 kPa , V1 = 2 m³ , T1 = 300.15 K , P2 = 40 kPa , T2 = 283.15 K

( We must always convert the temperature unit to Kelvin "K")

* What we want to find :

V2 = ?

* Solution :

101 × 2 / 300.15 = 40 × V2 / 283.15

V2 × 40 / 283.15 ≈ 0.67

V2 = 0.67 × 283.15 / 40

V2 ≈ 4.7 m³

3.00 textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diame
sammy [17]

Answer:

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg

Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg

Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m

Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m

Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m

Time; t = 0.75

I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.

Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;

ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1

a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.

s = ut + ½at²

our s is now Δx and a1 is a.

Thus;

Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)

u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)

Multiply through by 2;

2 = 0.75²a1

a1 = 2/0.75²

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

How does the hydraulic garage lift helps to lift heavy weights?Explain in you words don't copy (write in the easiest way you cou
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

this the way that hydraulic pump works:

The system of hydraulic jack lifts the heavy objects by transferring the oil from one chamber to another.

Through the suction valves into the two cylinders which creates pressure distributing the fluid equally to the points causing the objects to lift up.

hope these points helped u

any confusion then comment it
