Answer:

The pressure increases by a factor 8

Explanation:

For a gas held at constant temperature, Boyle's law can be applied. It states that the product of the gas pressure and the gas volume is constant, so we can write:

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where

p_1 is the initial pressure

p_2 is the final pressure

V_1 is the initial volume

V_2 is the final volume

For the gas in this problem, the volume is reduced from

V_1 = 4 L

to

V_2 = 0.5 L

so we can rewrite the equation as

\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{4 L}{0.5 L}=8

this means that the pressure of the gas will increase by a factor 8.

A 2,000 kg rocket is launched 12 km straight up at a constant acceleration into the sky at which point the rocket is travelling
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

797700000 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The work done by the rocket, is given as,

W = Ek+Ep............. Equation 1

Where Ek and Ep are the potential and the kinetic energy of the rocket respectively.

Ep = mgh............ Equation 2

Ek = 1/2mv²............. equation 3

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

W = mgh+1/2mv².............. Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rocket, h = height, v = velocity of the rocket, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2000 kg, h = 12 km = 12000 m, v = 750 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 2000(12000)(9.8)+1/2(2000)(750²)

W = 235200000+562500000

W = 797700000 J

in a softball game, a batter hits the ball at the velocity of 27m/s and angle of 40 shown below. What is the maximum range of th
Nata [24]

Answer:

R = 73.25 m

Explanation:

We have,

Initial speed of the ball is 27 m/s

It is projected at an angle of 40 degrees

The maximum range of the ball is given by :

R=\dfrac{u^2\sin2\theta}{g}

Plugging all the values we get :

R=\dfrac{(27)^2\sin2(40)}{9.8}\\R=73.25\ m

So, the maximum range of the ball is 73.25 m
