Answer:

Mercury is commonly used in barometers because its high density means the height of the column can be a reasonable size to measure atmospheric pressure.

Two 800 cm^3 containers hold identical amounts of a monatomic gas at 20°C. Container A is rigid. Container B has a 100 cm^2 pis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B

2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below

3) The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given that;

Temperature = 20°C = 293 K

mass of piston = 10 kg

Area = 100cm³

Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L

ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol

1)

Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B

2)

Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,

3)

Initial  pressures in containers A and B

PV = nRT

P = RT/V

we substitute

P = (8.3 × 293) /  0.8

P = 2431.9 / 0.8

P = 3039.87 J/liters

Therefore, The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4)

Given that;

power = 25 W

time t = 15s

the final volume of container B = ?

we know that;

work done = power × time

work done = 25 × 15 = 375

Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )

so we substitute

375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )

( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87

V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336

V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8

V₂ = 0.92336 Litres

V₂ = 923.36 cm³

Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

A hunter is aiming horizontally at a monkey who is sitting in a tree. The monkey is so terrified when it sees the gun that it fa
Dvinal [7]

Answer:a) The bullet will miss the monkey because the monkey falls down while the bullet speeds straight forward.

Explanation: The bullet keeps as it aim( the monkey) unless it is redirected by an external force that could redirect it. Hence, the bullet speeds straight forward.

A ball of mass 0.7 kg flies through the air at low speed, so that air resistance is negligible. (a) What is the net force acting
Fed [463]

Answer:

A) Gravitational Force, F=-6.86N.

B) The y component of momentum.

C) The x component of momentum will remain the same.

D)The y component of momentum decreases.

E)The z component of momentum will remain constant.

Explanation:

First, let the x-axis be positive in the same direction as the horizontal speed of the ball, let the y-axis be positive in the opposite direction of gravity.

A) since there is no air resistance, the only force acting on the ball is the gravitational force. This force is downwards so it is negative. The net force is

F=-9.8*0.7=-6.86N.

B)Because the net force (and the only one) is on the y-axis, only the vertical component of the momentum will be changed due to the force.

C)Since there is no resistance of air, the ball behaves as in projectile motion problems, this means that the x component of the velocity remains constant, also does the mass. Remembering that momentum is velocity times mass, it can be easily seen that x component of momentum remains constant too.

D)The y component of momentum decreases, this is because gravity decreases the y component of the velocity.

E)Since there is no z component of the force there is no change in the z component of the momentum.
