A certain man needed 400N of force to pull a load through a distance of 150cm in 8s . Calculatell i) the work done by man ii) th

Igoryamba

Answer:

a) 600 J

b) 75 W

Explanation:

Force= 400 N, distance = 150 cm = 1.5 m, time= 8s

a) Work is the product of force acting on an object and distance (or displacement). The S.I unit of work is the joules.

Work = force × distance = 400 × 1.5 = 600 J

b) Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit time. It is the ratio of work to time. The S.I unit of power is watt

Power = work/time = 600 / 8 = 75 W

A student is determining the density of an unknown metal with a mass of 32.56 g. The student partially fills a graduated cylinde

xenn [34]

Answer:

The metal is Tin (Sn)

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of metal = 32.56 g

Volume of water = 14.78 mL

Volume of water + metal = 20.44 mL

Next, we shall determine the volume of the metal. This is illustrated below:

Volume of water = 14.78 mL

Volume of water + metal = 20.44 mL

Volume of metal =..?

Volume of metal = (Volume of water + metal) – (Volume of water )

Volume of metal = 20.44 – 14.78

Volume of metal = 5.66mL

Next, we shall determine the density of the metal.

Density of a substance is defined as the mass of the substance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, the density of a substance is expressed as:

Density = Mass / volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the density of the metal as follow:

Mass of metal = 32.56 g

Volume of metal = 5.66mL

Density =.?

Density = Mass /volume

Density = 32.56g/5.66mL

Density of the metal = 5.75g/mL

Comparing the density of the metal with standard density of elements, the metal is Tin (Sn)

A cylinder with a movable piston originally has a volume of 2805 mL and is filled with nitrogen to a pressure of 4.00

Sergio039 [100]

This problem is providing the initial volume and pressure of nitrogen in a piston-cylinder system and asks for the final pressure it will have when the volume increases. At the end, the answer turns out to be 2.90 atm.

<h3>Boyle's law</h3>

In chemistry, gas laws are used so as to understand the volume-pressure-temperature-moles behavior in ideal gases and relate different pairs of variables.

In this case, we focus on the Boyle's law as an inversely proportional relationship between both pressure and volume at constant both temperature and moles:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Thus, we solve for the final pressure by dividing both sides by V2:

$P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$

Hence, we plug in both the initial pressure and volume and final volume in order to calculate the final pressure:

$P_2=\frac{2805mL*4.00atm}{3864mL}\\ \\P_2=2.90atm$
