To solve this problem we will apply the definition of the ideal gas equation, where we will clear the density variable. In turn, the specific volume is the inverse of the density, so once the first term has been completed, we will simply proceed to divide it by 1. According to the definition of 1 atmosphere, this is equivalent in the English system to

1atm = 2116lb/ft^2

The ideal gas equation said us that,

PV = nRT

Here,

P = pressure

V = Volume

R = Gas ideal constant

T = Temperature

n = Amount of substance (at this case the mass)

Then

\frac{n}{V} = \frac{P}{RT}

The amount of substance per volume is the density, then

\rho = \frac{P}{RT}

Replacing with our values,

\rho = \frac{5.6*2116}{1716*850}

\rho = 0.00812slug/ft^3

Finally the specific volume would be

v = \frac{1}{\rho}

v = 123ft^3/slug

Which BEST describes the difference between speed and velocity?
kirill [66]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Explanation :

Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.

Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.

The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g
mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

n_{r}=1.572

n_{b}=1.587

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}

\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})

\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}

Put the value into the formula

1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}

\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})

\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0

\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Lenz's Law: A coil lies flat on a tabletop in a region where the magnetic field vector points straight up. The magnetic field va
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field is straight up. It is reducing . As per Lenz's law , direction of induced current is such that it opposes the reason which creates it . magnetic field in upper direction is reducing . So current will be such that magnetic field produced by it increases magnetic field in upper direction . In other words , induced current should create magnetic field in upward direction. It is possible when direction of induced current is  anti - clockwise,  when seen from above.
