A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 29.1 L at a pressure of 733 mmHg and a temperature of 24.7 ∘C. The balloon rises in

the atmosphere to an altitude where the pressure is 365 mmHg and the temperature is -14.5 ∘C. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude.

Answer:

volume balloon  5.06 10⁻² m³

Explanation:

The balloon is inflated with air, which in the first instance behaves like an ideal gas, which has as an equation

    PV = n R T

Where R is the ideal gas constant that is worth 8.314 J / mol K.

Let's use the initial data to calculate the number of moles of gas in the balloon that remains constant, but first we reduce all quantities to the SI system

    V1 = 29.1 L (1 m2 / 1000 L) = 29.1 10⁻³ m³

    P1 = 733 mmHg (1 105 Pa / 760 mmHg) = 0.964 10⁵ Pa

    T1 = 24.7 + 273.15 = 297.85K

    P2 = 365 mmHg (1 105 Pa / 760 mmHg) = 0.480 10⁵ Pa

    T2 = -14.5 +273.15 = 258.65K

Let's clear and calculate the number of moles

    n = P V / R T

    n = P1 V1 / R T1

    n = 0.964 10 5 29.1 10⁻³ / (8.314 297.85)

    n = 1.13 moles

With the data of the second part we clear the volume and calculate

   V = n R T / P

   V2 = n R T2 / P2

   V2 = 1.13 8.314 258.65 /0.480 10⁵

   V2 = 5.062 10⁻² m³

Answer: 50.8 L

Explanation: Using the Combined Gas Law:

PV/T = C

Hence: P1*V1/T1 = C

Using the first scenario we will find value of C:

V1 = 29.1 L = 0.0291 m^3

P1 = 733 mmHg = 97725.3 Pa

T1 = 24.7 C = 297.85 K

C = (0.0291 * 97725.3)/297.85 = 9.56

Use value of C to find V2:

P2 = 365 mmHg = 48662.7 Pa

T2 = -14.5 C = 258.65 K

C = 9.56

V2 = C*T2/P2 = (9.56 * 258.65)/48662.7 = 0.0508 m^3

Hence Volume of balloon at higher altitude = 0.0508 m^3 = 50.8 L

A car turns a certain curve of radius 24.98 m with constant linear speed of
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

3525.19 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the mass of the car is shown below:

As we know that

Fc = m × V^2 ÷ R

m = Fc × R ÷ V^2

Provided that:

Fc = 34.652 kN = 34652 N

R = Radius = 24.98 m

V = speed = 15.67 m/s

So,

m = 34652 × 24.98 ÷ 15.67^2

 = 3525.19 kg

A surfer is moving at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s north relative to a wave which is pushing him west at a constant velocity o
Vika [28.1K]
The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y
