Question:
Consider a sample of helium gas in a container fitted with a piston as pictured below. The piston is frictionless, but has a mass of 10.0 kg. How many of the following processes will cause the piston to move away from the base and decrease the pressure of the gas? Assume ideal behavior.
I. Heating the helium. II.
II. toRemoving some of the helium from the container.
III. Turning the container on its side.
IV. Decreasing the pressure outside the container.
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
e) 4
Answer:
Only one process will cause the piston to move which is
i) Heating the helium
Explanation:
When helium is heated it becomes less dense or lighter. Heating the helium will cause an increase in volume which will make the piston to move away from the base. When the volume finishes increasing, the piston will stop moving which in turn will make the forces on both sides of the piston balanced, so the pressure inside will balance the weight of the piston and that of the atmosphere. From that we can see that there has been a pressure change as a result of heating.
We will have the following:
So, the force is approximately 1.85*10^-6 N.
Answer:
Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.
Explanation:
Solution:-
- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.
- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.
- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:
d sin (θ) = m λ
Where,
λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating
- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
F = ma
F = 12 * 9 = 108 N
108 N needed <u> add 30 N more east </u>
