Two rigid tanks of equal size and shape are filled with different gases. The tank on the left contains oxygen, and the tank on t
fredd [130]

Answer:

The number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of oxygen, M_O=32

Molar mass of hydrogen, M_H=2

We know ideal gas law as:

PV=nRT

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n= no. of moles of the gas molecules

R = universal gs constant

T = temperature of the gas

∵n=\frac{m}{M}

where:

m = mass of gas in grams

M = molecular mass of the gas

∴Eq. (1) can be written as:

PV=\frac{m}{M}.RT

P=\frac{m}{V}.\frac{RT}{M}

        as: \frac{m}{V}=\rho\ (\rm density)

So,

P=\rho.\frac{RT}{M}

Now, according to given we have T,P,R same for both the gases.

P_O=P_H

\rho_O.\frac{RT}{M_O}=\rho_H.\frac{RT}{M_H}

\Rightarrow \frac{\rho_O}{32}=\frac{\rho_H}{2}

\rho_O=16\rho_H

∴The molecules of oxygen are more densely packed than the molecules of hydrogen in the same volume at the same temperature and pressure. So, <em>the number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.</em>

SCALCET8 3.9.018.MI. A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Explanation:

The ray of light hitting the ground forms a right angled triangle of height H, which is the height of the building and width, D which is the distance of the tip of the shadow from the building.

Also, the height of the man, h which is parallel to H forms a right-angled triangle of width, L which is the length of the shadow.

By similar triangles,

H/D = h/L

L = hD/H

Also, when the man is 4 m from the building, the length of his shadow is L = D - 4

So, D - 4 = hD/H

H(D - 4) = hD

H = hD/(D - 4)

Since h = 2 m and D = 12 m,

H = 2 m × 12 m/(12 m - 4 m)

H = 24 m²/8 m

H = 3 m

Since L = hD/H

and h and H are constant, differentiating L with respect to time, we have

dL/dt = d(hD/H)/dt

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

Now dD/dt = velocity(speed) of man = -1.7 m/s ( negative since he is moving towards the building in the negative x - direction)

Since h = 2 m and H = 3 m,

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

dL/dt = 2 m(-1.7 m/s)/3 m

dL/dt = -3.4/3 m/s

dL/dt = -1.13 m/s

So, the length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

A girl throws a rock horizontally at 10 m/s from the top of a building, 22 m above street level. Assuming free fall conditions a
MAXImum [283]

Answer:21.18 m

Explanation:

Given

initial speed u=10 m/s

height of building h=22 m

time taken to complete 22 m

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

initial vertical velocity =0

22=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

t=\sqrt{\frac{22\times 2}{g}}

t=2.11 s

Horizontal Distance moved

R=u_x\times t

R=10\times 2.11

R=21.18 m

A child, hunting for his favorite wooden horse, is running on the ground around the edge of a stationary merry-go-round. The ang
olga55 [171]

Answer:

9.22 s

Explanation:

One-quarter of a turn away is 1/4 of 2π, or π/2 which is approximately 1.57 rad

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse. We would have the following equation of motion for the child and the horse:

For the child: s_c = \omega_ct = 0.233t

For the horse: s_h = s_0 + a_ht^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0136t^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2

For the child to catch up with the horse, they must cover the same angular distance within the same time t:

s_c = s_h

0.233t = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2

0.0068t^2 - 0.233t + 1.57 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{0.233\pm \sqrt{(-0.233)^2 - 4*(0.0068)*(1.57)}}{2*(0.0068)}

t= \frac{0.233\pm0.11}{0.0136}

t = 25.05 or t = 9.22

Since we are looking for the shortest time we will pick t = 9.22 s
