Boyle's law<span> is a gas </span>law<span>, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship , when temperature is held constant. That is PV = constant. Therefore, (PV)initial = (PV)final. 42x11 = 9x P(final). P(final) = 42x11/9 = 51.34kPa. </span>

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located
const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

v = \lambda f

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

\lambda = 2.5 m

f = 10 Hz

now speed of the wave is given as

v = 10(2.5)

v = 25 m/s

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

t = \frac{L}{v}

t = \frac{5}{25}

t = 0.2 s

A helicopter carrying Dr. Evil takes off with a constant upward acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. Secret agent Austin Powers jumps on ju
denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) h=250\ m

b) \Delta h=0.0835\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • upward acceleration of the helicopter, a=5\ m.s^{-2}
  • time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off, t_a=10\ s

a)

<u>Maximum height reached by the helicopter:</u>

using the equation of motion,

h=u.t+\frac{1}{2} a.t^2

where:

u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)

t = time of observation

h=0+0.5\times 5\times 10^2

h=250\ m

b)

  • time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall), t_f=7\ s
  • acceleration after deploying the parachute, a_p=2\ m.s^{-2}

<u>height fallen freely by Austin:</u>

h_f=u.t_f+\frac{1}{2} g.t_f^2

where:

u= initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)

t_f= time of free fall

h_f=0+0.5\times 9.8\times 7^2

h_f=240.1\ m

<u>Velocity just before opening the parachute:</u>

v_f=u+g.t_f

v_f=0+9.8\times 7

v_f=68.6\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Time taken by the helicopter to fall:</u>

h=u.t_h+\frac{1}{2} g.t_h^2

where:

u= initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0

t_h= time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground

h= height from where it falls = 250 m

now,

250=0+0.5\times 9.8\times t_h^2

t_h=7.1429\ s

From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.

<u>remaining time,</u>

t'=t_h-t_f

t'=7.1428-7

t'=0.1428\ s

<u>Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:</u>

h'=v_f.t'+\frac{1}{2} a_p.t'^2

h'=68.6\times 0.1428+0.5\times 2\times 0.1428^2

h'=9.8165\ m

<u>Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:</u>

\Delta h=h-(h_f+h')

\Delta h=250-(240.1+9.8165)

\Delta h=0.0835\ m

Explain how evaporation cools a liquid​
MAVERICK [17]

When evaporation occurs liquid absorbs heat from the surroundings to get converted to its vapour form as a result, there is an overall decrease in the heat leading to cooling of the liquid.

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 x 10-3 cm kg x m/s. Express this as provided or use any equivalent unit. How i
Leno4ka [110]

Complete Question:

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).

Answer:

7.2 gm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

Given the following data;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 kgm/s

1 kg = 1000 g

Substituting the unit in kilograms with grams, we have;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 * 1000 gm/s

<em>Momentum = 7.2 gm/s. </em>
