Answer:

Escape velocity is defined as the velocity which will take a body to go the infinite distance away above the surface of the earth when projected upwards.

Hope this helps...

Fill in the blanks for the following:

storchak [24]

Answer:

a. 4.21 moles

b. 478.6 m/s

c. 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank

Explanation:

Volume of container = 100.0 L

Temperature = 293 K

pressure = 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

number of moles n = ?

using the gas equation PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

R = 0.08206 L-atm- $mol^{-1}$ $K^{-1}$

Therefore,

n = (1.01325 x 100)/(0.08206 x 293)

n = 101.325/24.04 = 4.21 moles

The equation for root mean square velocity is

Vrms = $\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }$

R = 8.314 J/mol-K

where M is the molar mass of oxygen gas = 31.9 g/mol = 0.0319 kg/mol

Vrms = $\sqrt{\frac{3*8.314*293}{0.0319} }$ = 478.6 m/s

For Nitrogen in thermal equilibrium with the oxygen, the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen will be proportional to the root mean square velocity of the oxygen by the relationship

$\frac{Voxy}{Vnit}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mnit}{Moxy} }$

where

Voxy = root mean square velocity of oxygen = 478.6 m/s

Vnit = root mean square velocity of nitrogen = ?

Moxy = Molar mass of oxygen = 31.9 g/mol

Mnit = Molar mass of nitrogen = 14.00 g/mol

$\frac{478.6}{Vnit}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{14.0}{31.9} }$

$\frac{478.6}{Vnit}$ = 0.66

Vnit = 0.66 x 478.6 = 315.876 m/s

the root mean square velocity of the oxygen gas is

478.6/315.876 = 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank

Which of the following is an example of an even population distribution?

icang [17]

Even population distribution refers to a type of population distribution in which the arrangement is done in such a way that the distance between neighboring individual is maximized and uniform. This type of population distribution is usually found on the farm land, where the space in which the crops are planted have been carefully measured out. Thus an example of even population distribution is corn planted in a field.

What is the angular displacement of a minute hand of a clock after 3 minutes?

Inessa [10]

Answer:

π/10 rads

Explanation:

It takes an hour (60 minutes) for the minute's hand to turn a full circle or achieve an angular rotation of

2πl rad.

Now, number of periods of 3 minutes in an hour is;

Number of periods = 60/3 = 20 periods

Thus, 3 minutes rotation accounts for 1/20 of 2π the rotation of the minute's hand in an hour.

Thus;

Angular displacement = (1/20) * 2π = π/10 rads
