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>

A​ heavy-duty shock absorber is compressed 4 cm from its equilibrium position by a mass of 700nbspkg. How much work is required
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A mass of 700 kg will exert a force of

700 x 9.8

= 6860 N.

Amount of compression x = 4 cm

= 4 x 10⁻² m

Force constant K = force of compression / compression

= 6860 / 4 x 10⁻²

= 1715 x 10² Nm⁻¹.

Let us take compression of r at any moment

Restoring force by spring

= k r

Force required to compress = kr

Let it is compressed  by small length dr during which force will remain constant.

Work done

dW =  Force x displacement

= -kr -dr

= kr dr

Work done to compress by length d

for it r ranges from 0 to -d

Integrating on both sides

W  = \int\limits^{-4}_0 {kr} \, dr

= [ kr²/2]₀^-4

= 1/2 kX16X10⁻⁴

= .5 x 1715 x 10² x 16 x 10⁻⁴

= 137.20 J
