Why is the air in a jet aircraft flying at high altitudes pressurized? *

Chemistry
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Explanation:

-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.

-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath  a condition called hypoxia.

-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Before entering the cyclotron, the particles are accelerated by a potential difference V. Find the speed v with which the partic
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Speed, v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}

Explanation:

The device which is used to accelerate charged particles to higher energies is called a cyclotron. It is based on the principle that the particle when placed in a magnetic field will possess a magnetic force. Just because of this Lorentz force it moves in a circular path.  

Let m, q and V are the mass, charge and potential difference at which the particle is accelerated.

The work done by the particles is equal to the kinetic energy stored in it such that,

qV=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v is the speed with which the particles enter the cyclotron

So,

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}

So, the speed with which the particles enter the cyclotron is v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}. Hence, this is the required solution.

The half-life of radon gas is approximately four days. Four weeks after the introduction of radon into a sealed room, the fracti
maksim [4K]

The fraction of the original amount remaining is closest to 1/128

<h3>Determination of the number of half-lives</h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 4 days
  • Time (t) = 4 weeks = 4 × 7 = 28 days
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 28 / 4

n = 7

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 7
  • Amount remaining (N)=?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 100 / 2⁷

N = 0.78125 g

<h3>How to determine the fraction remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Amount remaining (N)= 0.78125 g
  • Fraction remaining =?

Fraction remaining = N / N₀

Fraction remaining = 0.78125 / 100

Fraction remaining = 1/128

A piece of copper absorbs 5000 J of energy and undergoes a temperature change from 100 °C to 200 °C. What is the mass of the pie
irakobra [83]

Answer:

B.) 129.9 grams

Explanation:

To find the mass, you need to use the following equation:

Q = mcΔT

In this equation,

-----> Q = energy (J)

-----> m = mass (g)

-----> c = specific heat (J/g°C)

-----> ΔT = change in temperature (°C)

The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g°C. Knowing this, you can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to isolate "m".

Q = mcΔT                                                            <----- Equation

5000 J = m(0.385 J/g°C)(200 °C - 100 °C)        <----- Insert values

5000 J = m(0.385 J/g°C)(100)                            <----- Subtract

5000 J = m(38.5)                                                <----- Multiply 0.385 and 100

129.9 = m                                                             <----- Divide both sides by 38.5
