If a gas has a volume of 1.25 L and a pressure of 1.75 atm, what will the pressure be if the volume is changed to 3.15 L?

Assuming the temperature is kept constant during this change, you can use Boyle's Law to answer the question. The law relates the products of volume (V) and pressure (P) before and after:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Given V1, P1, and V2:

$P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} = \frac{1.75atm\cdot 1.25l}{3.15l}=0.69atm$

So, the pressure after the volume change, while the temperature is constant, will be 0.69 atmospheres. This is intuitive: the volume has increased with same amount of ideal gas, and so the pressure went down.

A 2kg watermelon is dropped from a 4m tall roof a) use the appropriate kinematic equations to determine the instantaneous veloci

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

8.85m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the watermelon held before dropping is Ep=mgh=2*9.8*4=78.4J.

When it strikes the ground, all of its Ep will transfer into Ek, so 1/2*m*v^2=78.4.

We already knew that m=2, so insert that in, we will get the V^2=78.4 m/s, V=8.85 m/s

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

The work done on the puck is 96 J

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the hockey puck is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the puck.
