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

una onda longitudinal tiene una frecuencia de 200 hz y una longitud de onda de 4.2m ¿cual es la rapidez de la onda?​
swat32

Answer:

v = 8.4 m/s

Explanation:

The question ays, "A longitudinal wave has a frequency of 200 Hz and a wavelength of 4.2m. What is the speed of the wave?".

Frequency of a wave, f = 200 Hz

Wavelength = 4.2 cm = 0.042 m

We need to find the speed of the wave. The formula for the speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=200\times 0.042\\\\=8.4\ m/s

So, the speed of the wave is equal to 8.4 m/s.

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net<br> force of ON?
algol [13]

Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>.  That description is a little more direct.

It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.
