Which statement best describes why a machine is useful? A machine does a greater amount of work than the amount of work that is

done on it. A machine does a smaller amount of work than the amount of work that is done on it. A machine can decrease both the input force and the input distance needed to do a given amount of work. A machine can decrease either the input force or the input distance needed to do a given amount of work.

"A machine can decrease either the input force or the input distance needed to do a given amount of work" is the best statement that describes why a machine is useful.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation :</u>

A machine is simply defined as a device that helps humans, helping them to transfer the required amount of force to compete any task, changing the direction of motion, increasing the magnitude of force to complete any task, reduce the time or distance needed to cover while performing any task.

Machines can be simple mechanical device or a combination of multiple mechanical or technical devices to reduce the amount of input force or increase the output.

A solution of rubbing alcohol is 68.6 % (v/v) isopropanol in water. How many milliliters of isopropanol are in a 88.2 mL sample
KonstantinChe [14]


From the information given, the total volume of  rubbing alcohol is 88.2 ml

68.6 % of this volume is isopropanol. 

We will assume 88.2 ml represents 100% volume, so the volume of water will be 31.4 %

The volume of isopropanol is

68.6/100 x 88.2 → 0.686 × 88.2 = 60.505 ml

The volume of isopropanol is 60.5 ml.

Volume of water will be 88.20 - 60.5 = 27.7 ml

(27.7 / 88.2 × 100 = 31.4% )

Adding 60.5 ml of isopropanol to 27.7 ml of water to make up 88.2 ml will give 68.6 % v/v isopropanol to water  solution.

The thallium Subscript 81 Superscript 208 Baseline Tl nucleus is radioactive, with a half-life of 3.053 min. At a given instant,
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: (E) 300 bq

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half life is represented by t_{\frac{1}{2}

Half life of Thallium-208 = 3.053 min

Thus after 9 minutes , three half lives will be passed, after ist half life, the activity would be reduced to half of original i.e. \frac{2400}{2}=1200, after second  half life, the activity would be reduced to half of 1200 i.e. \frac{1200}{2}=600,  and after third half life, the activity would be reduced to half of 600 i.e. \frac{600}{2}=300,

Thus the activity 9 minutes later is 300 bq.

A sample of nitrogen gas is at a temperature of 50 c and a pressure of 2 atm. If the volume of the sample remains constant and t
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that, as long as the volume of the container containing the gas is constant, as the temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster. Then the number of collisions with the walls increases, that is, the pressure increases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

\frac{P}{T} =k

Where P = pressure, T = temperature, K = Constant

You want to study two different states, an initial state and a final state. You have a gas that is at a pressure P1 and at a temperature T1 at the beginning of the experiment. By varying the temperature to a new value T2, then the pressure will change to P2, and the following will be fulfilled:

\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}

In this case:

  • P1= 2 atm
  • T1= 50 C= 323 K (being 0 C= 273 K)
  • P2= 3.2 atm
  • T2= ?

Replacing:

\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =\frac{3.2 atm}{T2}

Solving:

T2*\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =3.2 atm

T2=3.2 atm*\frac{323 K}{2 atm}

T2= 516.8 K= 243.8 C

<u><em>The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.</em></u>
