Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure

Physics
1 answer:
yKpoI14uk [10]3 years ago
3 0
<h2>Answer: It is highly flammable.</h2>

Explanation:

Liquid oxygen is created from oxygen atoms that have been forced to assume the liquid state due to <u>compression (change of pressure) and temperature modification. </u>

Specifically this is achieved by cooling the oxygen enough to change it to its liquid state. So,<u> as the temperature drops, the atoms move more slowly because they have less energy. </u>

In this sense, in the liquid state it is easier to store and mobilize oxygen, taking into account that it is a highly flammable gas.

While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction b
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

\theta = 66.7 degree

Explanation:

since force is applied downwards at some angle with the horizontal

so here we will have

F_n = mg + Fsin\theta

now we know that the box will not move if applied force is balanced by frictional force on it

so we will have

Fcos\theta = \mu F_n

F cos\theta = \mu (mg + F sin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = \mu mg

F = \frac{\mu mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

so here we can say

cos\theta - \mu sin\theta > 0

tan\theta = \frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{0.43})

\theta = 66.7 degree

A hiker walks 20.51 m at 33.16 degrees. What is the Y component of his displacement?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

<em>The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Components of the displacement</u>

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

x=r\cos\theta

The vertical component is calculated by:

y=r\sin\theta

The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:

y=20.51\sin(33.16^\circ)

y=11.22\ m

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

A spring is 6.0cm long when it is not stretched, and 10cm long when a 7.0N force is applied. What force is needed to make it 20c
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Approximately 25\; {\rm N} (assuming that this spring is ideal.)

Explanation:

The displacement of a spring is the new length of the spring relative to the original length.

For example:

  • When the 6.0\; {\rm cm}-spring in this question is stretched to 10\; {\rm cm}, the displacement is x = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}).
  • Likewise, if this spring is stretched to 20\; {\rm cm}, the displacement would be (20\; {\rm cm} - 6\; {\rm cm}).

If this spring is ideal, the force on the spring would be proportional to the displacement of the spring. In other words, if a force of F_{\text{a}} displaces this spring by x_{\text{a}}, while a force of F_{\text{b}} displaces this spring by x_{\text{b}}, then:

\displaystyle \frac{F_{\text{a}}}{x_{\text{a}}} = \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{x_{\text{b}}}.

In this question, it is given that a force of F_{\text{a}} = 7.0 \; {\rm N} would stretch this spring by x_{\text{a}} = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}). Thus, the force F_{\text{b}} required to stretch this spring by x_{\text{a}} = (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}) would satisfy:

\displaystyle \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}= \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}.

Rearrange and solve for F_{\text{b}}:

\begin{aligned} F_{\text{b}} &= \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}} \, (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}) \\ &\approx 25\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

An element emits a spectrum that____________.a)is evenly spaced.b)is the same as all other elements.c)is unique to that element.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

c)is unique to that element

Explanation:

 The spectrum emitted by a element shows the internal electronic structure of that element.We know that all element is having different internal electronic structure that is why all element emits different spectrum.And the spacing between the spectrum is uneven .

Therefore the answer will be option C.

c)is unique to that element

A cosmic catastrophic event occurred that caused the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its plane of orbit to increase from 23
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations

Explanation:

Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.

It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.
