If a circling object is released, centrifugal force will make it travel away from the center of its original path.

1 answer:

5 0

The answer is True. The object is thrown away from the center of its original path due its inertia. Centrifugal force acts in the opposite direction as centripetal force. Centripetal force applies towards the center of the curvature in a spinning object. Centrifugal force is considered an apparent force while centripetal force is an actual force.

Why is it warmer near the equator and cooler near the poles?

Phantasy [73]

It is because the equator is closer to the sun and because the sun's rays hit the surface of the Earth at a higher angle at the equator. The poles are colder because they don't get direct sunlight. The sun is always low on the horizon.

A gas expands against a constant external pressure of 2.00 atm until its volume has increased from 6.00 to 10.00 L. During this

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)

W = 810.6 J

Explanation:

Using first law of thermodynamics:

Q = ΔU + W

where,

Q = Heat Absorbed = 500 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy of Gas = ?

W = Work Done = PΔV =

P = Pressure = 2 atm = 202650 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 10 L - 6 L = 4 L = 0.004 m³

Therefore,

Q = ΔU + PΔV

500 J = ΔU + (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

ΔU = 500 J - 810.6 J

ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)

The work done can be simply calculated as:

W = PΔV

W = (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

W = 810.6 J

Would water molecules in Venus’ atmosphere, whose temperature is 740 K, escape into outer space? A water molecule has a mass tha

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus.

Explanation:

The average speed of gas molecules is given by:

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and M the molar mass of the gas.

We know that a water molecule has a mass that is 18 times that of a hydrogen atom:

$M_H=1.01*10^{-3}\frac{kg}{mol}\\M_{H2O}=18M_H=0.02\frac{kg}{mol}$

So, we have:

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3(8.314\frac{J}{mol \cdot K})740K}{0.02\frac{kg}{mol}}}\\v_{rms}=960.65\frac{m}{s}*\frac{1km}{1000m}=0.96\frac{km}{s}$

The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus:

$10\frac{km}{s}*\frac{1}{6}=1.6\frac{km}{s}\\0.96\frac{km}{s}$

A stationary siren emits sound of frequency 1000 Hz and wavelength 0.343 m. An observer who is moving toward the siren will meas

Ainat [17]

Answer:

f>1000Hz and wavelength=0.343 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Frequency of stationary siren,f=1000 Hz

Wavelength of stationary sound, $\lambda=0.343 m$

When a observer is moving towards the siren then the frequency increases.

Therefore,an observer who is moving towards the siren measure a frequency >1000 Hz.

The wavelength depends upon the speed of source.

But we are given that siren is stationary.

Therefore, source is not moving and then the wavelength remains same.

f>1000Hz and wavelength=0.343 m
