consider a sample of gas in a container on a comfortable spring day. the Celsius temperature suddenly doubles, and you transfer

the gas to a container with twice the volume of the first container. If the original pressure was 12 atm, what is a good estimate for the new pressure?

Answer:

6.6 atm

Explanation:

Using the general gas law

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Let P₂ be the new pressure

So, P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁

Since V₂ = 2V₁ , P₁ = 12 atm and T₁ = 273 + t where t = temperature in Celsius

T₂ = 273 + 2t (since its Celsius temperature doubles).

Substituting these values into the equation for P₂, we have

P₂ = P₁V₁(273 + 2t)/2V₁(273 + t)

P₂ = 12(273 + 2t)/[2(273 + t)]

P₂ = 6(273 + 2t)/(273 + t)]

assume t = 30 °C on a comfortable spring day

P₂ = 6(273 + 2(30))/(273 + 30)]

P₂ = 6(273 + 60))/(273 + 30)]

P₂ = 6(333))/(303)]

P₂ = 6.6 atm

Why was Democritus considered a philosopher and not a scientist?
Alika [10]

Answer:

Democritus had no scientific instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just 'mind experiments', but because Democritus was a philosopher, he thought more into depth about why we humans are alive which led to the atomic theory.

Two sound waves (speed 343 m/s) have different wavelengths. The first has a wavelength of 5.72 m, and the second a wavelength of
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 30 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the two sound waves, v = 343 m/s

wavelength of the first wave, λ₁ = 5.72 m

wavelength of the second wave, λ₂ = 11.44 m

The frequency of the first wave is calculated as follows;

F₁ = v/λ₁

F₁ = 343 / 5.72

F₁ = 59.97 HZ

The frequency of the second wave is calculated as follows;

F₂ = v/λ₂

F₂ = 343 / 11.44

F₂ = 29.98 Hz

The beat frequency is calculated as;

Fb = F₁ - F₂

Fb =  59.97 HZ - 29.98 Hz

Fb = 30 Hz

Some birds migrate 20,000 miles. If 1 mile equals 1.6 kilometers, calculate the distance these birds fly in kilometers.
faust18 [17]
Set up a proportion

1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x

Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers

The mass of the car?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1050 kg

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE (kinetic energy) = 1/2 × m × v² where <em>m</em> is the <em>mass in kg </em>and <em>v</em> is the velocity or <em>speed</em> of the object <em>in m/s</em>.

We can now substitute the values we know into this equation.

KE = 472 500 J and v = 30 m/s:

472 500 = 1/2 × m × 30²

Next, we can rearrange the equation to make m the subject and solve for m:

m = 472 500 ÷ (1/2 × 30²)

m = 472 500 ÷ 450

m = 1050 kg

Hope this helps!

A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000
34kurt
Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N
