A weather balloon is filled to a volume of 6000 L while it is on the ground, at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 273 K.

The balloon is then released into the atmosphere. As the balloon rises, the pressure decreases to 0.3 atm and the temperature decreases to 240 K. What is the final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

We can use the combined gas law equation to solve this: P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

(1atm)(6000L) / (273K) = (0.3atm)V2 / (240K)

21.978 atmL/K = 0.00125atm/K V2

V2 = 17582.41758L

To the nearest tenth, the final volume is 17582.4L

Answer : The final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

Solution :

Using combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 0.3 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 6000 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 240 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

\frac{1atm\times 6000L}{273K}=\frac{0.3atm\times V_2}{240K}

V_2=17582.4L

Therefore, the final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a very long string is y 6.0 sin(0.020px 4.0pt), where x and y are expressed in
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

given

y=6.0sin(0.020px + 4.0pt)

the general wave equation moving in the positive directionis

y(x,t) = ymsin(kx -?t)

a) the amplitude is

ym = 6.0cm

b)

we have the angular wave number as

k = 2p /?

or

? = 2p / 0.020p

=1.0*102cm

c)

the frequency is

f = ?/2p

= 4p/2p

= 2.0 Hz

d)

the wave speed is

v = f?

= (100cm)(2.0Hz)

= 2.0*102cm/s

e)

since the trignometric function is (kx -?t) , sothe wave propagates in th -x direction

f)

the maximum transverse speed is

umax =2pfym

= 2p(2.0Hz)(6.0cm)

= 75cm/s

g)

we have

y(3.5cm ,0.26s) = 6.0cmsin[0.020p(3.5) +4.0p(0.26)]

= -2.0cm

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

Radius of the pollen is given as

r = 12.0 \mu m

Volume of the pollen is given as

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12\mu m)^3

V = 7.24 \times 10^{-15} m^3

mass of the pollen is given as

m = \rho V

m = 7.24 \times 10^{-12}

so weight of the pollen is given as

W = mg

W = (7.24 \times 10^{-12})(9.81)

W = 7.1 \times 10^{-11}

Now electric force on the pollen is given

F = qE

F = (-0.700\times 10^{-15})(95)

F = 6.65 \times 10^{-14} N

now ratio of electric force and weight is given as

\frac{F}{W} = \frac{6.65 \times 10^{-14}}{7.1 \times 10^{-11}}

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days. How much energy is used? A laptop uses 75 W. The cot of el
zzz [600]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.

Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.

500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]

The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?

We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.

0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]

A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?

Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).

Therefore.

Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]
