His displacement is 30ft west.

Unless he started on the south pole, then his displacement is 0 - he ends up where he started, on the south pole.

Two moles of helium gas initially at 438 K and 0.44 atm are compressed isothermally to 1.61 atm. Find the final volume of the ga

docker41 [41]

Answer:

44.64335 L

Explanation:

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K = 0.08205 L atm/mol K

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature = 438 K

1 denotes initial

2 denotes final

From ideal gas law we have

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{2\times 0.08205\times 438}{0.44}\\\Rightarrow V=163.35409\ L$

So,

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{0.44\times 163.35409}{1.61}\\\Rightarrow V_2=44.64335\ L$

The volume of Helium is 44.64335 L

Where does current flows maximum in? series connection or parallel connection?

notsponge [240]

Current flow depends on other things in addition to the circuit configuration. If the SAME voltage is applied to some arrangement of the SAME components, the greatest current will occur when they are all in parallel.

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball

Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

$F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.
