A syringe initially holds a sample of gas with a volume of 285 ml at 355 k and 1.88 atm. To what temperature must the gas in the
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 720.5°K

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = 285 ml

Temperature 1 = 355 °K

Pressure 1 = 1.88 atm

Volume 2 = 435 ml

Temperature 2 = ?

Pressure 2 = 2.5 atm

Formula

To solve this problem use the combined gas law

               P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

- Solve for T2

               T2 = T1P2V2 / P1V1

- Substitution

               T2 = (355)(2.5)(435) / (1.88)(285)

- Simplification

               T2 = 386062.5 / 535.8

- Result

                T2 = 720.53°K

Conclusion

The gas must be heated to 720.5°K

A automotive test driver travels due north in a prototype hybrid vehicle at 30 mi/h
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Option A. 40 mi/h

Explanation:

To obtain the average speed of the vehicle, we'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by the vehicle in each case. This is illustrated below:

Case 1:

Speed = 30 mi/h

Time = 2 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

30 = Distance /2

Cross multiply

Distance = 30 × 2

Distance = 60 mi

Case 2:

Speed = 60 mi/h

Time = 1 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

60 = Distance /1

Cross multiply

Distance = 60 × 1

Distance = 60 mi

Finally, we shall determine the average speed of the vehicle as follow:

Total distance travelled = 60 + 60

Total distance travelled = 120 mi

Total time = 2 + 1

Total time = 3 h

Average speed =..?

Average speed = Total Distance travelled /Total time

Average speed = 120/3

Average speed = 40 mi/h

Therefore, the average speed of the vehicle is 40 mi/h

A planet has two small satellites in circular orbits around the planet. The first satellite has a period 18.0 hours and an orbit
sasho [114]

Answer:

Time period of second satellite will be 50.904 hour

Explanation:

We have given time period of first satellite T_1=18hour

Orbital radius of first satellite a_1=2\times 10^7m

Orbital radius of second satellite a_2=4\times 10^7m

We have to find the time period of second satellite.

Time period of satellite is equal to T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^3}{G(M_1+M_2)}}

From the relation we can see that T\propto a^{\frac{3}{2}}

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{a_1^\frac{3}{2}}{a_2^\frac{3}{2}}

\frac{18}{T_2}=\frac{(2\times 10^7)^\frac{3}{2}}{(4\times 10^7)^\frac{3}{2}}

\frac{18}{T_2}=(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{3}{2}

T_2=50.904hour

Time period of second satellite will be 50.904 hour

What is the biggest disadvantage of solar electricity, or at least, why is it not used much more than it currently is? A. It’s v
Damm [24]
Well the main reason why people invented and started using electricity from solar power is because of no emissions of carbon dioxide, no water and air pollution and it is renewable. So, B,C,and D cannot be the answer.

The answer A is indeed correct. At the moment solar panels are still expensive for the power they bring. Engineers hope to bring cost of panels lower which would make solar power less cheap than oil extracting (of course, for same amount of power). <span />
