The correct answer is C.

We will use Boyle's law that states that for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. 

P1 V1 = P2 V2

Where

 P1 is initial pressure = 5 psi

V1 is initial volume = 20 cubic inch

P2 is final pressure = 10 psi

V2 is final volume = unknown

V2 = P1,V1 / P2

V2 = 20 × 5 / 10

V2 = 100/10

V2 = 10 cubic inches

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N

Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s
nlexa [21]

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s
