Explain why the boiling point of a liquid varies with atmospheric pressure

1 answer:

5 0

The boiling point of water, or any liquid, varies according to the surrounding atmospheric pressure. A liquid boils, or begins turning to vapor, when its internal vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.

Which object will have greater acceleration? Why?

dexar [7]

Answer:

Object D

Explanation:

Use Newton's Second Law to determine the acceleration that each object has.

F = ma

The force applied in both cases is 50 N, but the mass for object C and object D is different.

Let's start with object C first:

F = ma
50 N = 10 kg · a
50 = 10a
5 = a

The acceleration object C undergoes is 5 m/s².

Now let's calculate object D next:

F = ma
50 N = 2 kg * a
50 = 2a
25 = a

The acceleration object D undergoes is 25 m/s².

Object D has greater acceleration because it has a smaller mass. The object with a smaller mass will accelerate more in order to satisfy Newton's 2nd Law.

You do 120 j of work while pulling your sister back on a swing, whose chain is 5.10 m long. you start with the swing hanging ver

Goryan [66]

The work done to pull the sister back on the swing is equal to the increase in potential energy of the sister:
$W= \Delta U = mg \Delta h$ (1)

where m is the sister's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and $\Delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the sister with respect to its initial position.

By calling $\theta$ the angle of the chain with respect to the vertical, the increase in altitude is given by
$\Delta h = L - L \cos \theta = L(1 - \cos \theta)$ (2)
where L is the length of the chain.

Putting (2) inside (1), we find
$W= m g L (1 - \cos \theta)$
from which we can find the mass of the sister:
$m = \frac{W}{g L (1 - \cos \theta)} = \frac{120 J}{(9.81 m/s^2)(5.10 m)(1- \cos 32.0^{\circ})} =15.8 kg$
