False.

Gravity changes depending on latitude, as well as height above sea level.

The force of gravity of a object is NOT constant all over the earth. Some parts of the earth have a stronger gravitational pull than other parts.

0.0884 moles of a diatomic gas

Sloan [31]

Answer:

W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)

Explanation:

First, we find the change in internal energy of the diatomic gas by using the following formula:

$\Delta\ U = nC_{v}\Delta\ T$

where,

ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas = ?

n = no. of moles of gas = 0.0884 mole

Cv = Molar Specific Heat at constant volume = 5R/2 (for diatomic gases)

Cv = 5(8.314 J/mol.K)/2 = 20.785 J/mol.K

ΔT = Rise in Temperature = 18.8 K

Therefore,

$\Delta\ U = (0.0884\ moles)(20.785\ J/mol.K)(18.8\ K)\\\Delta\ U = 34.54\ J$

Now, we can apply First Law of Thermodynamics as follows:

$\Delta\ Q = \Delta\ U + W$

where,

ΔQ = Heat flow = - 83.7 J (negative sign due to outflow)

W = Work done = ?

Therefore,

$-83.7\ J = 34.54\ J + W\\W = -83.7\ J - 34.54\ J\\$

<u>W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)</u>

What is the current in a 160V circuit if the resistance is 2Ω? V= I= R =

sveta [45]

Answer:

80 amperes

Explanation:

Current in the circuit = ?

Voltage in the circuit = 160 Volts

Resistance = 2 Ω

Voltage = Current x Resistance

V = IR

160V = I x 2 Ω

I = 160V / 2 Ω

I = 80 Amperes

Therefore the current in the circuit is 80 amperes :)

Consider the three dip1acement vectors A = (3i - 3j) m, B = (i-4j) m, and C = (-2i + 5j) m. Use the component method to determin

tia_tia [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A=3i-3j m

B=i-4 j m

C=-2i+5j m

a. $D=A+B+C$

$D=3i-3j+i-4j-2i+5j$

$D=2i-2j$

Compare with the vector r=xi+yj

We get x=2 and y=-2

Magnitude= $\mid D\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(2)^2+(-2)^2}=2\sqrt 2$ units

By using the formula $\mid r\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Direction: $\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

By using the formula

Direction of D: $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2})=tan^{-1}(-1)=tan^{-1}(-tan45^{\circ})=-45^{\circ}$

b.E=-A-B+C

$E=-3i+3j-i+4j-2i+5j$

$E=-6i+12j$

$\mid E\mid=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(12)^2}=13.4$ units

Direction of E= $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{-6}=tan^{-1}(-2)=-63.4^{\circ}$
