Suppose you have a gas under 2 atm of pressure and taking up 0.5m ^ 3 of volume. If you compress the gas so that it takes up 0.1

Answer:

10 atm

Explanation:

Assuming the gas is kept at constant temperature, we can apply the following law (Boyle's law):

"For a gas kept at a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically,

$pV=const.$

where p is the pressure of the gas and V its volume.

The equation can also be rewritten as

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

Where for the gas in the problem, we have:

$p_1 = 2 atm$ is the initial pressure

$V_1 = 0.5 m^3$ is the initial volume

$p_2$ is the final pressure

$V_2 = 0.1 m^3$ is the final volume

Solving for p2,

$p_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{V_2}=\frac{(2)(0.5)}{0.1}=10 atm$

A shuttle bus slows down with an average acceleration of -2.4 m/s2. How long does it

olganol [36]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3.75 \ seconds }}$

Explanation:

Average acceleration is found by dividing the change in acceleration by the time.

$a=\frac{ v_f-v_i}{t}$

The shuttle bus has an acceleration of -2.4 meters per square second. It slows from 9.0 meters per second to rest, or 0 meters per second. Therefore:

$a= -2.4 \ m/s^2 \\v_f= 0 \ m/s \\v_i= 9 \ m/s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$-2.4 \ m/s^2=\frac{0 \ m/s - 9 \ m/s}{t }$

Solve the numerator.

$-2.4 \ m/s^2 = \frac{-9 \ m/s}{t}$

We want to solve for t, the time. We have to isolate the variable. Let's cross multiply.

$\frac{-2.4 \ m/s^2}{1} = \frac{-9 \ m/s}{t}$

$-9 \ m/s *1= -2.4 \ m/s^2 *t$

$-9 \ m/s=-2.4 m/s^2*t$

t is being multiplied by -2.4. The inverse of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by -2.4

$\frac{-9 \ m/s }{-2.4 \ m/s^2} =\frac{ -2.4 \ m/s^2*t}{-2.4 \ m/s^2}$

$\frac{-9 \ m/s }{-2.4 \ m/s^2} =t$

$3.75 \ s=t$

It takes <u>3.75 seconds.</u>

Imagine that you set your watch at local noon in Kansas City on Monday and then fly to the Coast on Tuesday. You stick a pole in

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: East Coast

Explanation:

The problem states we need to find whether the person is on the East Coast or West Coast.

Now, we know that the shadow is shortest when the Sun is at the highest point in the sky. So it means the noon time is 12:00 P.M. Now this is the local noon time which you have set in Kansas City. Now you flew to the Coast and it says 10:00 am which means you have traveled to a place where noon comes early. And noon comes early on Eastern Coast so you are on the East Coast.

Two long, straight wires are parallel and are separated by a distance of d = 0.210 m. The top wire in the sketch carries current

love history [14]

Answer:

$1.88\cdot 10^{-5} T$ , inside the plane

Explanation:

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field produced by each wire first, using the formula

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current

r is the distance from the wire

For the top wire,

I = 4.00 A

r = d/2 = 0.105 m (since we are evaluating the field half-way between the two wires)

so

$B_1 = \frac{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7})(4.00)}{2\pi(0.105)}=7.6\cdot 10^{-6}T$

And using the right-hand rule (thumb in the same direction as the current (to the right), other fingers wrapped around the thumb indicating the direction of the magnetic field lines), we find that the direction of the field lines at point P is inside the plane

For the bottom wire,

I = 5.90 A

r = 0.105 m

so

$B_2 = \frac{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7})(5.90)}{2\pi(0.105)}=1.12\cdot 10^{-5}T$

And using the right-hand rule (thumb in the same direction as the current (to the left), other fingers wrapped around the thumb indicating the direction of the magnetic field lines), we find that the direction of the field lines at point P is also inside the plane

So both field add together at point P, and the magnitude of the resultant field is:

$B=B_1+B_2 = 7.6\cdot 10^{-6} T+1.12\cdot 10^{-5}T=1.88\cdot 10^{-5} T$

And the direction is inside the plane.
