1 answer:

5 0

The modern name, Mount St. Helen's, was given to the volcanic peak in 1792 by seafarer and explorer Captain George Vancouver of the British Royal Navy. He named it in honor of fellow countryman Alleyne Fitzherbert, who held the title 'Baron St. Helen's.

A cylinder-piston system contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1.5 105 pa.

Sedbober [7]

The change in the internal energy of the ideal gas is determined as -28 J.

The work done on the ideal gas is calculated as follows;

w = -PΔV

w = -1.5 x 10⁵(0.0006 - 0.0002)

w = -60 J

<h3>Change in the internal energy of the gas</h3>

ΔU = w + q

ΔU = -60J + 32 J

ΔU = -28 J

Thus, the change in the internal energy of the ideal gas is determined as -28 J.

What is the gravitational force between Mars and the sun? 7.43 × 1030 N 1.79 × 1026 N 1.65 × 1021 N 3.76 × 1032 N

VMariaS [17]

The gravitational force between Mars and the Sun is $1.65\cdot 10^{21} N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have:

$m_1 = 1.99\cdot 10^{30} kg$ is the mass of the Sun

$m_2 = 6.39\cdot 10^{23} kg$ is the mass of Mars

$r=229\cdot 10^6 km = 229\cdot 10^9 m$ is the average distance Mars-Sun

Substituting into the equation, we find the gravitational force:

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.99\cdot 10^{30})(6.39\cdot 10^{23})}{(229\cdot 10^9)^2}=1.62\cdot 10^{21} N$

So, the closest answer is

$1.65\cdot 10^{21} N$

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$
