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

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.

Select the correct statement to describe when a sample of liquid water vaporizes into water vapor
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

This procces is called evaporation.

Explanation:

When you have liquid water that is transformed into steam, a phase change is called evaporation. The temperature for the evaporation of water depends on the pressure, for example for water at atmospheric pressure the temperature of evaporation is equal to 100°C. as the pressure increases are achieved evaporation temperatures higher. When that happens, the phase change temperature of the water is not increasing, as the process that takes place is the transfer of latent heat and applies only to changes of phase, that is to say at atmospheric pressure when it has 100% of the steam this will be at 101°C.

A car travels along a highway with a velocity of 24 m/s, west. The car exits the highway; and 4.0 s later, its instantaneous vel
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4.25 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Change in velocity considering the x component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_x= 16cos 45^{\circ}-24=-12.6862915 m/s

Change in velocity considering the y component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_y= 16sin 45^{\circ}-0=11.3137085 m/s

Resultant change in velocity=\sqrt {(-12.6862915 m/s)^{2}+(11.3137085 m/s)^{2}}=16.9982938 m/s

Acceleration= change in velocity per unit time hence

a= \frac {16.9982938}{4}=4.24957345\approx 4.25 m/s^{2}

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity
netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.

What's the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 10 and velocity of 200m/s?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 20 \ Hz}}

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.

The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.

  • 1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1

Therefore:

v= 200 \ m*s^{-1} \\\lambda = 10 \ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

f=\frac{200 \ m*s^{-1}}{10 \ m}

Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.

f=\frac{200 \ s^{-1}}{10 \ }

f=20 \ s^{-1}

  • 1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
  • Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz

f= 20 \ Hz

The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>
