Explain why the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of the gas.

Physics

Phantasy [73]3 years ago

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.

Neutrons released in a fission reaction can strike other nuclei and cause ______.

Chain reactions

Neutrons released in a fission reaction can strike other nuclei and cause chain reactions

Explanation:

In nuclear fission reactions, the heavier atoms split into into lighter atoms, releasing neutrons at high velocity in the process. The neutrons hit other heavier atoms in the vicinity and split them too releasing more neutrons. This continuation is called chain reaction. The more the released neutrons the higher the rate of chain reactions. This causes too much energy to be produced at a go until an enormous explosion occurs (like in bombs).

In controlled nuclear fission such as in nuclear reactors, the number of neutrons is controlled so as to prevent the reactor from exploding. A wall that absorbs excess neutrons is used to control the number of chain reactions to prevent the release of too much energy at once.

What is the magnitude of the net torque on the pulley about the axle?
jeyben [28]

Answer: Torque= tangential force × radius of the pulley

Explanation:

Pulley is a simple machine which helps us to lift loads by applying the force in a convenient direction. It consists of a grooved wheel which is free to rotate about an axle passing through the center of the pulley.

For a pulley, the torque T= tangential force × radius of the pulley

Pulleys can be used in combination also to achieve a desired output.

Intuitively, which of the following would happen to E⃗ net if d became very large? E⃗ net should reduce to the field of a point
mart [117]

Answer:

A C

Explanation:

The statement of the exercise is a bit strange, but if the distance between the load increases.

The following phenomena must occur.

* If the charge has a spatial distribution, the electric field should reduce the electric field of a point charge at the same distance

* As the distance increases the value of the electric field decreases in quadratic form

therefore when reviewing the correct answers are

if the total load is q, answer A is correct

and answer C is always correc

The Moon has too little iron, Mercury too much. How can both of these anomalies be the result of giant impacts? Explain how the
arsen [322]

Answer:

Explanation:

Giant impact has resulted into formation of celestial bodies such as moon.

Moon was formed years after the Earth was formed. When Earth collided with very big size bodies, there was vaporization of chunks of the planets in to the space. Gravity plays its role and bounded those particles together thus forming moon.

This formation explains Moon is made up of lighter elements and contains too little iron where as Mercury was formed with the rest of the planets and just like earth, its core is formed first which is of iron and then collected the lighter elements to form crust and mantle.

Though both Moon and Mercury were the result of giant impacts yet they have different elements because mercury was made earlier and its is closer to moon hence it collected heavy elements such as iron to for the formation where as moon is the result of collision of Earth and other Mars- sized body hence its constituent particles are different that of mercury.
