15) On a cold day, you take in 4.2 L (i.e., 4.2 x 10-3 m3) of air into your lungs at a temperature of 0°C. If you hold your brea

Answer:

4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial volume (V1) = 4.2L

Initial temperature (T1) = 0°C

Final temperature (T2) = 37°C

Final volume (V2) =?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This is illustrated below

K = °C + 273

T1 = 0°C = 0°C + 273 = 273K

T2 = 37°C = 37°C + 273 = 310K

Step 3:

Determination of the final volume.

Since the pressure is constant,

Charles' Law equation will be applied as shown below:

V1 /T1 = V2/T2

4.2/273 = V2 /310

Cross multiply to express in linear form

273 x V2 = 4.2 x 310

Divide both side by 273

V2 = (4.2 x 310)/273

V2 = 4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Therefore, the volume of the air in the lungs at that point is 4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

A centrifuge rotor (hollow disk) is rotating at 10,000 rpm is shut off and brought to rest by a constant frictional torque of 1.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The no of revolutions rotor turn before coming to rest is 1,601.1943 and time taken is equal to 19.21 seconds

Explanation:

here we know that torque = I×α

     α= angular acceleration

     I = moment of inertia of hollow disc = m×k^{2}

  given that m=4.37kg

                    k=0.0710m

           torque=1.2Nm

        w_{o}=10000\times \frac{\pi}{30} rad /s

         \alpha =\frac{torque}{I}

from the above equation we can calculate the angular acceleration of the hollow disc .

  since  w^{2}-w_o^{2} =2\alpha\theta

 from this above equation  \theta=\frac{w^{2}-w_{o}^{2}}{2\alpha }

   no of revolutions = \frac{\theta}{2\pi}  = 1,601.1943.

Now to calculate time we know that time = \frac{2\theta}{w+w_{o}}

   so upon calculating we will be getting t=19.21 seconds

A snowboarder goes down the hill with a slope of 28° if friction acts on him as he slides down which of the following is the cor
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

All of the frictions are the same, but weight always goes straight down so it can only be A or B. Since they are going down a slope, then the normal force must be sloped. A is the only one out of A and B with a sloped normal force, so it has to be A

A pendulum makes 60 vibrations in 15 secs what’s its frequency
o-na [289]

Answer:

4 hertz

Explanation:

The defination of freqyency = the total no of cycle made by a wave in one second .

so,

cycle or vibrations=60

tame taken = 15

now,

frequency = no. of cycle / time taken

= 60/15

=4 hertz

hence, the its frequency = 4hertz
