3 0

Answer;

1. strong nuclear force

2. electromagnetic force/ electric force

Explanation;

The more protons an element has, the harder it is to bring nuclei together. It takes more energy to trigger fusion in iron and other heavy elements. Lighter elements, such as helium and hydrogen, require less energy to bring about fusion. The sun, for instance, spends most of its life converting hydrogen into helium.

-The strong nuclear force depends on; a more massive the object is the more attractive the force produced and also as distance between objects increases, attractive force decreases at a faster rate.

A bicycle pump contains 20 cm3 of air at a pressure of 100 kPa. The air is then pumped in a tyre of volume 100 cm3. Calculate th

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The pressure of the air in the tyre is 20 kPa

Explanation:

The parameters for the bicycle pump and tyre are;

The volume of air contained in the bicycle pump, V₁ = 20 cm³

The pressure of the air contained in the bicycle pump, P₁ = 100 kPa

The volume (available) of the tyre, where the air is pumped, V₂ = 100 cm³

Let P₂ represent the pressure in the tyre after the air is pumped

By Boyle's law, we have that at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure;

Mathematically, Boyle's law gives the following equation;

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

∴ P₂ = (P₁ × V₁)/V₂

Substituting the known values gives;

P₂ = (100 kPa × 20 cm³)/(100 cm³)

∴ P₂ = 100 kPa × 1/5 = 20 kPa

P₂ = 20 kPa

The pressure of the air in the tyre = P₂ = 20 kPa.

A 15-ft3 tank contains oxygen initially at 14.7 psia and 80°F. A paddle wheel within the tank is rotated until the pressure insi

Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

Equation for energy balance will be as follows.

$\Delta E_{system} = E_{in} - E_{out}$

$\Delta U = W_{in} - Q_{out}$

Hence, $W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Therefore, we will calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2} = \frac{20 psia}{14.7}(638 R)$

= 868.03 R

Now, we will calculate the mass as follows.

m = $\frac{P_{1}V}{RT_{1}}$

= $\frac{14.7 psia \times 15 ft^{3}}{0.3353 psi ft^{3}/lbm R \times 638 R}$

= 1.031 lbm

Hence,

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Putting the values into the above equation as follows.

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

$W_{in} = 20 Btu + 1.031 lbm (\frac{0.160 Btu}{lbm R})(735 - 540)R$

$W_{in}$ = 655.2 Btu

Thus, we can conclude that work done by paddle wheel is 655.2 Btu.

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?

DIA [1.3K]

Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.
