Answer:

The correct answer is option a. 400J

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

To know if the work is positive or negative we have to know the following:

The work is positive when the gas performs (expansion)

The work is negative when done outside on the gas (compression)

In this case the work is done by the gas, so it is positive.

The correct answer is option a. 400J

A vacuum cleaner produces sound with a measured sound level of 75.0 dB. (a) What is the intensity of this sound in W/m2? W/m2 (b

jonny [76]

Answer:

Part a)

$I = 3.16 \times 10^{-5} W/m^2$

Part b)

$P_o = 0.162 Pa$

Explanation:

Part a)

Level of sound = 75 dB

now we know that

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

here we know that

$I_0 = 10^{-12} W/m^2$

now we have

$75 = 10 Log(\frac{I}{10^{-12}})$

$I = 3.16 \times 10^{-5} W/m^2$

Part b)

Intensity of sound wave is given as

$I = \frac{1}{2}\rho A^2\omega^2 c$

here we know that

$A = \frac{P_o}{Bk}$

so we have

$I = \frac{1}{2}\rho(\frac{P_o}{Bk})^2\omega^2 c$

$I = \frac{1}{2}\rho P_o^2 \frac{c^3}{B^2}$

now we know

$\rho = 1.2 kg/m^3$

$c = 340 m/s$

$B = 1.4 \times 10^5 Pa$

now we have

$3.16 \times 10^{-5} = \frac{1}{2}(1.2)P_o^2\frac{340^3}{(1.4\times 10^5)^2}$

$P_o = 0.162 Pa$

Answer:

4x

Explanation:

Use $v^{2} = u^{2} +2as$ to do the question.

For first instance,

$0 = v^{2} +2ax$ -------------------( 1 )

for second instance,

$0 = (2v)^{2} +2as$ -----------------( 2 )

So by (1) and (2),

s = 4x

The formula shown below is used to calculate the energy released when a specific quantity of fuel is burned. Calculate the energ

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

$Q=m. c. \Delta T$

Where:

$Q$ is the thermal energy

$m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg$ is the mass of the water sample

$c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=20\°C$ is the variation in temperature

Solving:

$Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)$

$Q=8400 J$ This is the thermal energy released

Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.84 keV from the co

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

λ = 65.6 pm

Explanation:

Given that

λo = 65 pm

The initial energy of the electron

$E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }$

Now by putting the values

$E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }$

$E_o=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{65\times 10^{-12}}$

$E_o=3.05\times 10^{-15}\ J$

$E_o=\dfrac{3.05\times 10^{-15}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 10^3}\ KeV$

Eo=19.06 KeV

Given that kinetic energy KE= 0.84 KeV

Therefore the final energy

E= Eo - KE

E = 19.06 - 0.84 KeV

E= 18.22 KeV

The wavelength λ can be find as

$E=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{hC}{E}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{19.06 \times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

λ = 6.56 x 10⁻¹¹ m

λ = 65.6 pm
