A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr

iction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 4900 N/m. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.029 m. (a) When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress

Answer:

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant'k'= 4900 N/m

radius 'r' =0.029 m

Area 'A' =r²π = 0.029²π => 2.6 x 10^{-3} m²

Here, Pressure 'P' is given by,

Pressure = Force / Area

And we know that, for a spring :

F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the change in length.

P = kx/A

As P = 101325 Pa

101325 = 4900x / ( 2.6 x 10^{-3})

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

What is the definition of the half-life of a radioactive isotope?
Illusion [34]

Answer:Half-life is the amount of time it takes for the initial mass of the isotope to decompose, by half, into other lighter atoms.

Explanation:Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the element technetium-99m has a half life of 6 hours. This means that is 100 kg of the element is left to decay, in 6 hours, 50kg of the mass will have changed into other elements/atoms. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years while that of polonium-216 is only 0.145 seconds.

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow- dryer is 11 Amps, and th
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

(a) 1320 W

(b) 480 W

(c) E':E ≈ 11:2

Explanation:

(a) Applying,

P' = VI'................. Equation 1

Where P' = Power of the blow-dryer, V = Voltage, I = current rating of the blow-dryer.

From the question,

Given: V = 120 V, I' = 11 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (120×11)

P = 1320 W

(b) Similarly,

P = VI................... Equation 2

Where P = Power of the vacuum cleaner. I = current rating of the vacuum cleaner.

Also Given: I = 4 A,

Therefore

P = 4(120)

P = 480 W

(c)

E' = P'/t'............. Equation 3

E = P/t................ Equation 4

Where E' = Energy of the blow-dryer, t' = time of use of the blow-dryer, E = Energy of the vacuum cleaner, t = time of use of the vacuum cleaner

From the question,

Given: t' = 15 minutes = (15×60) = 900 seconds, t = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3 and 4

E' = 1320/900

E' = 1.47 J,

E = 480/1800

E = 0.267

Therefore,

E':E = 1.47:0.267

E':E ≈ 11:2

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

orbit the sun have very elliptical orbits

are made of frozen gas and ice

Explanation:

Comets are the made up of dry ice, frozen water, gases and dust particles. it is called dirty snow balls as their nucleus carry frozen water and pieces of rock.

Comets move around the sun in an elliptical orbits and follow Kepler's Laws saying that they move faster when closer to the Sun.

Comets have tails even when they are far from the sun and the tails that point away from the sun.

Hence, the correct options are "orbit the sun have very elliptical orbits and are made of frozen gas and ice".

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The answer is D. right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle

Explanation:

The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle.The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the body.
