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

A 0.5 kg stone is raised from 1m to 2m height from the ground. what is the change in potential energy of the stone?
Usimov [2.4K]

Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg

Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To find: The change in potential energy of the stone

Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh

where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone

Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)

or,                = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)

or,                = 4.9 J

Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J

Two horizontal metal plates, each 10.0 cm square, are aligned 1.00 cm apart with one above the other. They are given equal-magni
Ber [7]

Answer:

a) motion is PARABOLIC, b) positive particle is accelerated towards the negative plate,  c)  x = 6.19 10⁹ m

Explanation:

This exercise looks at the motion of a positively charged particle in an electric field.

a) Since the field is vertical the acceleration in this direction is

            F = m a

the electric force is

           F = q E

we substitute

          q E = m a

           a = qE / m

the mass of the particle is m = 2.00 10-16 kg

           a = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 2.02 10³ / 2.00 10⁻¹⁶ kg

           a = 1,616 m / s²

           

on the x-axis there are no relationships because there are no forces.

Since the particle has velocities in both axes, its motion is PARABOLIC,

b) the positive particle is accelerated towards the negative plate,

The field is descending, for which the event is down

c) where  hit the particle on the x-axis

they indicate that the particle leaves the center of the negative plate, for which we will fix our reference system at this point.

Let's find the components of the initial velocity.

           sin θ = v_{oy} / v

           cos θ = v₀ₓ / v

           v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

           v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

           v_{oy) = 1.02 10⁵ sin 37 = 0.6139 10⁵ m / s

           v₀ₓ = 1.02 10⁵ cos 37 = 0.8146 10⁵ m / s

Let's find the time it takes to hit the negative plate

            y = y₀I + v_{oy} t + ½ a and t2

in this case the positions are y = y₀ = 0 and the accelerations

a = - 1,616m/s2,

we substitute

            0 = 0 + v_{oy} t - ½ a_y t²

            v_{oy}= ½ a_y t

            t = 2v_{oy} / a_y

let's calculate

           t = 2 0.6139 10⁵ / 1.616

           t = 7.597 10⁴s

in this time the particle travels a horizontal distance

           x = v₀ₓ t

           x = 0.8145 10⁵ 7.597 10⁴

           x = 6.19 10⁹ m

the particle falls off the plate
