Answer:

357.6 lb-ft

Explanation:

V = Volume = 8 ft³

dP = Change in pressure = (40-10) = 30 psig

Work done is given by

W=VdP\\\Rightarrow W=8\times (40-10)\\\Rightarrow W=240\ psig.ft^3

30\ psig=44.7\ psi\\\Rightarrow 1\ psi=\dfrac{30}{44.7}

So, converting to ft-lb

\dfrac{240}{\dfrac{30}{44.7}}=357.6\ lb-ft

The external work performed during the expansion is 357.6 lb-ft

1. In a particular experiment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the
shutvik [7]

Answer: 1. B. The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.

2. The maximum speed of the emitted electrons increases.

The stopping potential increases

Explanation:

Photoelectric effect is simply referred to as the emission of electrons that occurs when there's an electromagnetic radiation. An example of such electromagnetic radiation is when material is being hit by light.

Assuming that the light incident on the metal surface causes electrons to be ejected from the metal, the number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.

Also, if the initial light incident on the metal surface causes electrons to be ejected from the metal, the maximum speed of the emitted electrons increases and the stopping potential increases.

A bowling ball (mass = 7.2 kg, radius = 0.11 m) and a billiard ball (mass = 0.38 kg, radius = 0.028 m) may each be treated as un
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of bowling ball M1=7.2kg

The radius of bowling ball r1=0.11m

Mass of billiard ball M2=0.38kg

The radius of the Billiard ball r2=0.028m

Gravitational constant

G=6.67×10^-11Nm²/kg²

The magnitude of their distance apart is given as

r=r1+r2

r=0.028+0.11

r=0.138m

Then, gravitational force is given as

F=GM1M2/r²

F=6.67×10^-11×7.2×0.38/0.138²

F=9.58×10^-9N

The force of attraction between the two balls is

F=9.58×10^-9N

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon
Nikitich [7]
The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.
