Boyle’s Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P of the gas is inversely pro

portional to the volume V of the gas. (a) Suppose that the pressure of a sample of air that occupies 0.106 m3 at 25°C is 50 kPa. Write V as a function of P. (b) Calculate dVydP when P − 50 kPa. What is the meaning of the derivative? What are its units?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) V = \frac{8.3}{P}

(b) (i) the value of \frac{dV}{dP} when P = 50kPa is - 0.00332 \frac{m^{3} }{kPa}

(ii) the meaning of the derivative \frac{dV}{dP} is the rate of change of volume with pressure.

(iii) and the units are \frac{m^{3} }{kPa}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature;

P ∝ 1 / V

=> P = k / V

=> PV = k   -------------------------(i)

Where;

P = pressure

V = volume

k = constant of proportionality

According to the question;

When;

V = 0.106m³, P = 50kPa

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

50 x 0.106 = k

Solve for k;

k = 5.3 kPa m³

(a) To write V as a function of P, substitute the value of k into equation (i) as follows;

PV = k

PV = 8.3

Make V subject of the formula in the above equation as follows;

V = 8.3/P

=> V = \frac{8.3}{P}        -------------------(ii)

(b) Find the derivative of equation (ii)  with respect to V to get dV/dP as follows;

V = \frac{8.3}{P}

V = 8.3P⁻¹

\frac{dV}{dP} = -8.3P⁻²

\frac{dV}{dP} = \frac{-8.3}{P^{2} }

Now substitute P = 50kPa into the equation as follows;

\frac{dV}{dP} = \frac{-8.3}{50^{2} }   [\frac{kPam^{3} }{(kPa)^{2} }]               -----  Write and evaluate the units alongside

\frac{dV}{dP} = \frac{-8.3}{2500 }    [\frac{kPam^{3} }{k^{2} Pa^{2} }]

\frac{dV}{dP} = - 0.00332 [\frac{m^{3} }{kPa}]

Therefore,

(i) the value of \frac{dV}{dP} when P = 50kPa is - 0.00332 \frac{m^{3} }{kPa}

(ii) the meaning of the derivative \frac{dV}{dP} is the rate of change of volume with pressure.

(iii) and the units are \frac{m^{3} }{kPa}

Answer:

a)V=\dfrac{5.3}{P}

b)ML^{-4}T^{-2}.

Explanation:

Given that

Boyle's law

P V = Constant ,at constant temperature

a)

Given that

P_1=50KPa

V_1=0.106m^3

We know that for PV=C

P_1V_1=P_2V_2=PV

Now by putting the values

PV= 50 x 0.106

V=\dfrac{5.3}{P}

Where P is in KPa and V is in m^3

b)

PV= C

Take ln both sides

So \ln(PV)=\ln C

lnP + lnV =lnC               ( C is constant)

By differentiating

\dfrac{dP}{P}+\dfrac{dV}{V}=0

So

\dfrac{dP}{dV}=-\dfrac{P}{V}

When P= 50 KPa

\dfrac{dP}{dV}=-\dfrac{50}{V}\ \dfrac{KPa}{m^3}

It indicates the slope of PV=C curve.

It unit is \dfrac{Pa}{m^3}.

Or we can say that ML^{-4}T^{-2}.

The efficiency of a machine is always less than 100% because part of the energy input is used to
Travka [436]

Answer:

C. Overcome Friction

Explanation:

When using any machine usually those with moving parts, you may notice heat forming near the areas where most movement occurs. As friction continues, more energy is used up and released as heat. For that reason, the efficiency of a machine will forever be less than 100%

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) from behind while going 15 m/s Immediately after the collision, car B mov
Mamont248 [21]

Given :

Initial speed of car A is 15 m/s and initial speed of car B is zero.

Final speed of car A is zero and final speed of car B is 10 m/s.

To Find :

What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision.

Solution :

Initial kinetic energy is :

K.E_i = \dfrac{15^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_i = \dfrac{225 m}{2}

Final kinetic energy is :

K.E_f = \dfrac{10^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_f = \dfrac{100m}{2}

Now, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss is :

Loss = \dfrac{\dfrac{225m}{2}-\dfrac{100m}{2}}{\dfrac{100m}{2}}\\\\Loss = \dfrac{125}{100}\\\\Loss = 1.25

Therefore, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss in the collision is 1.25 .

Astronomers build optical telescopes on tops of mountains because a. there is less air to dim the light. b. the seeing is better
V125BC [204]

Answer: choices a and b

Explanation:

Telescope can be defined as am optical instrument which is designed to observe the distant objects clear and nearer. It comprises of arrangement of lenses which allow the rays of light to be collected. The collected light is focused and the image so produced is magnified in the form of an image. The telescopes are prepared and manufactured on mountains top as this will help in preventing the distortion of light obtain from the star due to the fluctuation of air mass in the atmosphere. The atmospheric distortion affects the resolution, and affects the vision. The atmospheric pressure is low at the mountain tops so it will help in better observation of the sky.

A beryllium-9 ion has a positive charge that is double the charge of a proton, and a mass of 1.50 ✕ 10−26 kg. At a particular in
seropon [69]

Answer:

Magnetic force, F = 3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

A beryllium-9 ion has a positive charge that is double the charge of a proton, q=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

Speed of the ion in the magnetic field, v=5\times 10^6\ m/s

Its velocity makes an angle of 61° with the direction of the magnetic field at the ion's location.

The magnitude of the field is 0.220 T.

We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the ion. It is given by :

F=qvB\\\\F=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^6\times 0.22\\\\F=3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N

So, the magnitude of magnetic force on the ion is 3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N.
