We can use the equation of state for an ideal gas to answer the question:
pV=nRT
or, by rewriting it,
p= \frac{nRT}{V}
where p is the gas pressure, V its volume, T its temperature, n the number of moles of the gas and R the gas constant.

When the gas is sprayed from the can into the room, its volume V has increased, while n (the number of moles of the gas) stayed the same. Since R is a constant and the temperature T also stayed constant, if we look at the  formula we see that the numerator didn't change, while the denominator (V) has increased, so the pressure of the gas has decreased.

A solid sphere of brass (bulk modulus of 14.0 ✕ 1010 N/m2) with a diameter of 2.20 m is thrown into the ocean. By how much does
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Diameter decreases by the diameter of 0.0312 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Bulk modulus =  14.0 × 10¹⁰ N/m²

Diameter d = 2.20 m

Depth = 2.40 km

Pressure = ρ g h = 1030 × 9.81 × 2.4 × 1000

               = 24.25 × 10⁶  N/m²

Volume = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3

         \dfrac{\Delta V}{V}=\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{r^3}

Bulk modulus is equal to

B = -\dfrac{\Delta P}{\dfrac{\Delta V}{V} }

now

B = -\dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6}{\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{r^3} }

B = -\dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6}{\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{1.1^3} }

(\Delta r)^3 = \dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6 \times 1.1^3}{14.0 \times 10^{10}}

Δ r = -0.0156 m

change in diameter

Δ d = -2 × 0.0156

Δ d = -0.0312 m

Diameter decreases by the diameter of 0.0312 m.

What is the average speed of an object that travels 50 meters in 2 seconds? Select one: a. 100 m/s b. 25 m/s c. 50 m/s d. 2 m/s
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Average speed, v = 25 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance travelled by the object, d = 50 meters

Time taken, t = 2 seconds

Average speed is defined as the total distance divided by total time taken i.e.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{50\ m}{2\ s}

v = 25 m/s

So, the sped of the object is 25 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 50g ball is released from rest 1.0 above the bottom of thetrack
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball = 50 g

Height = 1.0 m

Angle = 30°

The equation is

y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

\Delta U_{i}+\Delta K_{i}=\Delta K_{f}+\Delta U_{f}

Here, ball at rest so initial kinetic energy is zero and at the bottom the potential energy is zero

\Delta U_{i}=\Delta K_{f}

Put the value into the formula

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

Put the value into the formula

50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times1.0=\dfrac{1}{2}\times50\times10^{-3}\times v^2

v^2=\dfrac{2\times50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times1.0}{50\times10^{-3}}

v=\sqrt{19.6}

v=4.42\ m/s

We need to calculate the maximum height of the ball

Using again conservation of energy

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

Here, h = y highest point

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{2}\times50\times10^{-3}\times(4.42)^2=50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times h

y=\dfrac{0.5\times(4.42)^2}{9.8}

y=0.996\ m

Put the value of y in the given equation

y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2

x^2=4\times0.996

x=\sqrt{4\times0.996}

x=1.99\ m\ \approx 2 m

Hence, The maximum height of the ball is 2 m.

In which instrument of the following the water works as a bulb
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

hydrometer

Explanation:

A hydrometer is an instrument used to determine specific gravity. It operates based on the Archimedes principle that a solid body displaces its own weight within a liquid in which it floats. Hydrometers can be divided into two general classes: liquids heavier than water and liquids lighter than water.
