Explanation: the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of the gas because pressure is a physical force its has not chemical composition.

So, pressure depends upon the numbers of molecules of the gas because gas molecules collide with the wall of the vessel. They exert force on the wall and we know the pressure is force applied per unit area .

According to Gay - Lussac's law,  the temperature of the gas is direct proportional to the pressure  at a constant volume.

The pressure exerted by a gas depends on the number of gas particles present, according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. Other factors like volume of the particles or the intermolecular forces between molecules are assumed zero. So 50 particles of Helium gas exerts the same pressure of 50 particles of Oxygen gas.

Lee has a mass of 40.0 kg and ice skates with a speed of 4.6 m/s.
faltersainse [42]

Their common speed is 1.53 m/s.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the distance to the time of a body in motion.

  To calculate their final speed, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • mu+m'u' = V(m+m')............. Equation 1

Where:

  • m = mass of the Lee
  • m' = mass of Mat
  • u = initial speed of Lee
  • u' = initial speed of Mat
  • V = Their common speed.

make V the subject of the equation

  • V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')........... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 40 kg
  • m' = 80 kg
  • u = 4.6 m/s
  • u' = 0 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • V = [(40×4.6)+(80×0)]/(40+80)
  • V = 184/120
  • V = 1.53 m/s.

Hence, Their common speed is 1.53 m/s.

A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.630-kg ball is released at a height of 1.80 m above the floor with a speed of 7.09
N76 [4]

mass of the ball m = 0.63 kg

initial height h = 1.8 m

final height h ' = 3.03 m

initial speed v = 7.09 m / s

final speed v ' = 4.21 m / s

Let the work done on the ball by air resistance W = ?

we know from law of conservation of energy ,

total energy at height h + work done by air = total energy at height h '

  mgh + ( 1/ 2) mv^ 2 + W = mgh ' + ( 1/ 2) mv'^ 2

0.630*9.8*1.8 + 0.63*7.09^2 + W = mgh ' + ( 1/ 2) mv'^ 2

From there you can find W

if there is negative sign indicates it work opposite direction to motion
