Answer:

<em>When a balloon deflates air moves out of the balloon </em><em>because the pressure inside the balloon is higher than the pressure outside the balloon.</em>

Explanation:

An inflated balloon has a high pressure region on its inside. Gases always move from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. When a balloon is inflated its membrane stretches making it even more porous.

The gas molecules inside the balloon easily diffuse out through this membrane. The diffusion rate may differ depending on the type of gas filled inside the balloon and the material of the balloon. For example helium balloon deflates faster than common air balloon.

This is because helium is a light element and can escape easier than gases like nitrogen and oxygen through the porous membrane of the balloon.

Answer:

0.00493 m/s

Explanation:

T = Temperature of the isotope = 85 nK

R = Gas constant = 8.341 J/mol K

M = Molar mass of isotope = 86.91 g/mol

Root Mean Square speed is given by

$v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 85\times 10^{-9}}{86.91\times 10^{-3}}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.00493\ m/s$

The Root Mean Square speed is 0.00493 m/s

The CERN particle accelerator is circular with a circumference of 7.0 km.

Contact [7]

Answer:

$a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

$F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Explanation:

m = Mass of proton = $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

v = Speed of proton = 0.5c = $0.5\times 3\times 10^8=1.5\times 10^8\ m/s$

Circumference of the colider is 7 km

$P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{7000}{2\pi}\ m$

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a_c=\frac{\left(1.5\times 10^8\right)^2}{\frac{7000}{2\pi}}\\\Rightarrow a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

Centripetal acceleration is $2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

$F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 2.0196\times 10^{13}\\\Rightarrow F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Force on protons is $3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$

An astronomer discovers a massive galaxy which has four nuclei. What is a likely explanation for a galaxy having more than one n

statuscvo [17]

The universe is made of a lot of galaxies. The likely explanation for a galaxy having more than one nucleus is that the galaxy must have swallowed several smaller galaxies that were its neighbors.

There are some reason behind the theory that the eating up of a galaxy is by another galaxy. The galaxy is said to have a powerful past due to the fact that a lot of smaller galaxies were eaten up.

The universe is known to have a very largest galaxy called the giant elliptical galaxy that is made up of about a trillion stars.

You are retrieving your boat from the water. as a courtesy to others, when should you pull your boat into a launch lane?

OLga [1]

The best way to pull the boat in the launch lane is when the towing vehicle has reached the boat ramp as well as the trailer. It is best to retrieve the boat in this manner for it is more appropriate, convenient and it is a way of showing courtesy towards others because it is a proper manner.
