The volume of 2.0 kg of helium in a piston-cylinder device is initially 7 m3. Now the helium is compressed to 5 m3 while its pre
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

A) T1 = 269.63 K

T2 = 192.59 K

B) W = -320 KJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial volume: V1 = 7 m³

Final Volume; V2 = 5 m³

Constant Pressure; P = 160 KPa

Mass; m = 2 kg

To find the initial and final temperatures, we will use the ideal gas formula;

T = PV/mR

Where R is gas constant of helium = R = 2.0769 kPa.m/kg

Thus;

Initial temperature; T1 = (160 × 7)/(2 × 2.0769) = 269.63 K

Final temperature; T2 = (160 × 5)/(2 × 2.0769) = 192.59 K

B) world one is given by the formula;

W = P(V2 - V1)

W = 160(5 - 7)

W = -320 KJ

5. A family of ducks is swimming in a pond at a speed of 3 m/s when a gust of wind hits them. By the time they reach the other s
ella [17]

Answer:

The time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial speed of the ducks, u = 3 m/s

The final speed of the ducks, v = 7 m/s

The acceleration of the duck, a = 1 m/s²

The formula for the acceleration is,

                               a = (v - u) / t

∴                               t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                t = (7 - 3) / 1

                                  = 4 s

Hence, the time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

If stellar parallax can be measured to a precision of about 0.01 arcsec using telescopes on the Earth to observe stars, to what
marin [14]

Answer:

It corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.

It is defined in a analytic way as it follows:

       

\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}

Where d is the distance to the star.

p('') = \frac{1}{d} (1)  

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of d:

d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')} (2)

Equation (2) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth (as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km), is defined as 1 astronomical unit (1AU).

For the case of   (p('') = 0.01):

d(pc) = \frac{1}{0.01}

d(pc) = 100

Hence, it corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

<em>Summary:</em>

Notice how a small parallax angle means that the object is farther away.

Key terms:

Parsec: Parallax of arc second

what evidence can you cite that the interstellar medium contains both gas and dust? (select all that apply.)
Basile [38]

(a) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the radiations of photons of  wavelength 21 cm.

(b) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the absorption lines present in the light from distant stars, which must be caused by a medium of density and temperature other than that of the stars emitting the lights.

<h3>What is interstellar medium?</h3>

Interstellar medium is the matter and radiation that exist in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.

<h3>Evidence that interstellar medium contains both gas and dust</h3>
  • The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the radiations of photons of  wavelength 21 cm.
  • The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the absorption lines present in the light from distant stars, which must be caused by a medium of density and temperature other than that of the stars emitting the lights.
