Answer:

B. V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

PV=nRT

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i} (1)

P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f} (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because T_{i}=T_{f}, n_{i}=n_{f} and R is an universal constant:

P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}, solving for V_{f}

V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}

V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches

Can lamp that works on a 2.5 v work on a 1.12 v ?​
12345 [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thinking about the logics it can but it may be dim because 1.12 is lower than 2,5v so this will mean u lamp may not work or may work very dimely due to the low voltage it is receiving.

A man ties one end of a strong rope 8.17 m long to the bumper of his truck, 0.524 m from the ground, and the other end to a vert
Kamila [148]

Answer:

2442.5 Nm

Explanation:

Tension, T = 8.57 x 10^2 N

length of rope, l = 8.17 m

y = 0.524 m

h = 2.99 m

According to diagram

Sin θ = (2.99 - 0.524) / 8.17

Sin θ = 0.3018

θ = 17.6°

So, torque about the base of the tree is

Torque = T x Cos θ x 2.99

Torque = 8.57 x 100 x Cos 17.6° x 2.99

Torque = 2442.5 Nm

thus, the torque is 2442.5 Nm.

In a two-source circuit, one source acting alone produces 10 ma through a given branch. the other source acting alone produces 8
pashok25 [27]
Refer to the figure below.
R = resistance.

Case 1:
The voltage source is V₁ and the current is 10 mA. Therefore
V₁ = (10 mA)R

Case 2:
The voltage source is V₂ and the current is 8 mA. Therefore
V₂ = (8 mA)R

Case 3:
The voltage across the resistance is V₁ - V₂. Therefore the current I is given by
V₁ - V₂ = IR
10R - 8R = (I mA)R
2 = I
The current is 2 mA.

Answer: 2 mA
