The correct answer is:

The volume of the gas decreases

Explanation:

As the piston is forced down work is done on the gas. The force exercised by the gas pressure on the piston is in the adverse direction of the motion of the piston. The volume of the space the gas absorbs decreases. When we let go of the piston the gas extends. The force exercised by the gas is in the similar direction as the motion of the piston and work is done by the system.

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the current is at a value that is_________.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the the current is at a value that is maximum and positive

Explanation:

We know that the relation between the Voltage and the current is given using the Ohm's law, which states that the voltage (V) is directly proportional to the current (I)

Mathematically,

V ∝ I

Hence,

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the the current is at a value that is maximum and positive

Use what you know about mass and how you use it to calculate force in the following situation. If each washer has a mass of 4. 9

mina [271]

Considering the change of units and the definition of weight, the mass of two washers would be 0.0098 kg and if 4 washers are attached to the string, then the applied force on the car will be 0.196 N.

Mass of two washers

If each washer has a mass of 4.9 g, then the mass of two washers will be calculated simply by multiplying the mass of 1 washer by the amount you have of them, in this case 2:

4.9 g×2= 9.8 g

Being 1 kg = 1000 g, you apply the following rule of three to make the change of units: if 1000 g equals 1 kg, 9.8 g equals how many kilograms?

$mass=\frac{9.8 gramsx1 kg}{1000g}$

Solving:

mass= 0.0098 kg

Finally, the mass of two washers would be 0.0098 kg.

Applied force

On the other side, mass is the amount of matter that a body contains and weight is the action exerted by the force of gravity on the body.

The mass of an object will always be the same, no matter where it is located. Instead, the weight of the object will vary according to the force of gravity acting on it.

Weight is calculated as the product of the object's mass and the value of the gravitational acceleration:

W= m×g

In this case, you know:

m= 4.9 g×4= 19.6 g= 0.0196 kg → the mass of 4 washers in kilograms
g= 10 m/s²

Replacing:

W= 0.0196 kg× 10 m/s²

Solving:

W= 0.196 N

Finally, if 4 washers are attached to the string, then the applied force on the car will be 0.196 N.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$v= \frac{10\times10^{-3} V}{70}$ m/s

Explanation:

Assumption: bullet leaves the muzzle at a speed of V m/s

and velocity of push received by the man be v m/s

According to newton's third law to every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.

therefore,

mass of man× velocity = mass of bullet×its velocity

⇒70×v= 10×10^-3 ×V

solving the above eqaution we get

therefore $v= \frac{10\times10^{-3} V}{70}$ m/s
