The Ideal Gas Law makes a few assumptions from the Kinetic-Molecular Theory. These assumptions make our work much easier but aren't true under all conditions. The assumptions are,

1) Particles of a gas have virtually no volume and are like single points.
2) Particles exhibit no attractions or repulsions between them.
3) Particles are in continuous, random motion.
4) Collisions between particles are elastic, meaning basically that when they collide, they don't lose any energy.
5) The average kinetic energy is the same for all gasses at a given temperature, regardless of the identity of the gas.

It's generally true that gasses are mostly empty space and their particles occupy very little volume. Gasses are usually far enough apart that they exhibit very little attractive or repulsive forces. When energetic, the gas particles are also in fairly continuous motion, and without other forces, the motion is basically random. Collisions absorb very little energy, and the average KE is pretty close.

Most of these assumptions are dependent on having gas particles very spread apart. When is that true? Think about the other gas laws to remember what properties are related to volume.

A gas with a low pressure and a high temperature will be spread out and therefore exhibit ideal properties.

So, in analyzing the four choices given, we look for low P and high T.

A is at absolute zero, which is pretty much impossible, and definitely does not describe a gas. We rule this out immediately.

B and D are at the same temperature (273 K, or 0 °C), but C is at 100 K, or -173 K. This is very cold, so we rule that out.

We move on to comparing the pressures of B and D. Remember, a low pressure means the particles are more spread out. B has P = 1 Pa, but D has 100 kPa. We need the same units to confirm. Based on our metric prefixes, we know that kPa is kilopascals, and is thus 1000 pascals. So, the pressure of D is five orders of magnitude greater! Thus, the answer is B.

A 1.0-kg ball has a velocity of 12 m/s downward just before it strikes the ground and bounces up with a velocity of 12 m/s upwar
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The change in momentum of the ball is 24 kg-m/s  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 1 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -12 m/s (in downwards)

Final velocity of the ball, v = +12 m/s (in upward)

We need to find the change in momentum of the ball.

Initial momentum of the ball, p_i=mu=1\ kg\times (-12\ m/s)=-12\ kg-m/s

Final momentum of the ball, p_f=mv=1\ kg\times (12\ m/s)=12\ kg-m/s

Change in momentum of the ball, \Delta p=p_f-p_i

\Delta p=12-(-12)=24\ kg-m/s

So, the change in momentum of the ball is 24 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

1.80 kJ of heat is added to a slug of gold and a separate 1.80 kJ of heat is added to a slug of manganese. The heat capacity of
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

final temperature of  slug of gold is 37°C

final temperature of  slug of manganese is 28.56°C

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must take into account the concept of heat capacity, this is defined as the ratio between energy and temperature rise.

In other words it is the amount of energy that is required to increase a temperature degree.

Taking into account the above we infer the following equation

where  

C=heat capacity

Bobby is riding his bike down the road at a speed of 10 miles per hour. Ahead of him, he sees another rider, moving in the same
vekshin1
They will be travelling slower than 10mph.
if they were travelling at the same speed then they would stay an equal distance apart.
if they were travelling fatser then they would be getting further away more quickly than Bobby is catching up.
maybe they are travelling at 5mph but I'd say it's a safer option to chose under 10mph

- Explain why an aircraft will tend to lose height
olganol [36]

Answer:

the planes wings are lifting  at an angle to gravity so the plane isn't lifting as much against gravity when it banks.  some of the wing lift is going into turning the plane.   :)   so it needs more lift to bank and stay up
