Answer:

<h3>a.</h3>
  • After it has traveled through 1 cm : I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 I_0
  • After it has traveled through 2 cm : I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 I_0
<h3>b.</h3>
  • After it has traveled through 1 cm : od( 1\ cm) =  0.2606
  • After it has traveled through 2 cm :  od( 2\ cm) =  0.5211

Explanation:

<h2>a.</h2>

For this problem, we can use the Beer-Lambert law. For constant attenuation coefficient \mu the formula is:

I(x) = I_0 e^{-\mu x}

where I is the intensity of the beam, I_0 is the incident intensity and x is the length of the material traveled.

For our problem, after travelling 1 cm:

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 1 cm}

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}

I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 \ I_0

After travelling 2 cm:

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 2 cm}

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}

I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 \ I_0

<h2>b</h2>

The optical density od is given by:

od(x) = - log_{10} ( \frac{I(x)}{I_0} ).

So, after travelling 1 cm:

od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.5488 \ I_0}{I_0} )

od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.5488 )

od( 1\ cm) = - (  - 0.2606)

od( 1\ cm) =  0.2606

After travelling 2 cm:

od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.3012 \ I_0}{I_0} )

od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.3012 )

od( 2\ cm) = - (  - 0.5211)

od( 2\ cm) =  0.5211

drek231 [11]

a ) The speed of the cab just before it hits the spring = 7.4 m / s

b ) The maximum distance x that the spring is compressed = 0.9 m

c ) The distance that the cab will bounce back up the shaft = 2.8 m

a ) The speed of the cab just before it hits the spring,

Ki + Pi = K final + P final + W

1 / 2 m vo² + m g hi = 1 / 2 m v² + m g h + f d

0 + ( 1800 * 9.8 * 3.7 m ) = ( 1 / 2 * 1800 * v² ) + 0 + ( 4400 * 3.7 )

v = 7.4 m / s

b ) The maximum distance x that the spring is compressed,

Ki + Pi = K final + P final + W + Fs

1 / 2 m vo² + m g x = 1 / 2 m v² + m g h + f d + 1 /2 k x²

( 1/2 * 1800 * 7.4² ) + ( 1800 * 9.8 * x ) =0 + 0+ ( 4400 * x ) + ( 1/2 * 1800 * x² )

75000 x² + 13420 x - 50625 = 0

x = 0.9 m

c ) The distance that the cab will bounce back up the shaft,

Ki + Pi + Fs = K final + P final + W

1 / 2 m vo² + m g x + 1 /2 k x² = 1 / 2 m v² + m g h + f d

0 + 0 + ( 1 / 2 * 0.15 * 0.9² ) = 0 + ( 1800 * 9.8 * h ) + ( 4400 * h )

h = 2.8 m

Therefore,

a ) The speed of the cab just before it hits the spring = 7.4 m / s

b ) The maximum distance x that the spring is compressed = 0.9 m

c ) The distance that the cab will bounce back up the shaft = 2.8 m

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is A. 101.325 kPa. B. 651.605 kPa. C. 448.955 kPa. D. 277.28
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Absolute  pressure is sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.

That is

               P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}

We have

          P_{abs}=550.280 kPa\\\\P_{atm}=1atm=101325Pa=101.325kPa

Substituting

         P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}\\\\550.280=P_{gauge}+101.325\\\\P_{gauge}=448.955kPa

Option C is the correct answer.
