Newton's law of universal gravitation doesn't say anything about the cause of gravity.

Einstein's theory of relativity does.

Newton”s theory says this can occur because of gravity, a force attracting those objects to one another or to a single, third object. Einstein also says this occurs due to gravity- but in his theory, gravity is not a force. It is a curve in space-time.

Determine the average value of the translational kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at (a) 27.8°C and (b) 143°C. Wh

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) $k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}$

b) $k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}$

c) $k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol$

d) $k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol$

Explanation:

Average translation kinetic energy ( $k_{avg}$ ) is given as

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times kT$ ....................(1)

where,

k = Boltzmann's constant ; 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J/K

T = Temperature in kelvin

a) at T = 27.8° C

T = 27.8 + 273 = 300.8 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300.8$

$k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}J$

b) at T = 143° C

T = 143 + 273 = 416 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 416$

$k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}J$

c ) The translational kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is given as:

$k_{mol}=A_{v}\times k_{avg}$

here $A_{v}$ = Avagadro's number; ( 6.02×10²³ )

now at T = 27.8° C

$k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 6.22\times 10^{-21}$

$k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol$

d) now at T = 143° C

$k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 8.61\times 10^{-21}$

$k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol$

What is the strength of the electric field in a region where the electric potential is constant?

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Where the electric potential is constant, the strength of the electric field is zero.

Explanation:

As a test charge moves in a given direction, the rate of change of the electric potential of the charge gives the potential gradient whose negative value is the same as the value of the electric field. In other words, the negative of the slope or gradient of electric potential (V) in a direction, say x, gives the electric field (Eₓ) in that direction. i.e

Eₓ = - dV / dx ----------(i)

From equation (i) above, if electric potential (V) is constant, then the differential (which is the electric field) gives zero.

<em>Therefore, a constant electric potential means that electric field is zero.</em>

Peter designed a road with a curve of radius 30 m that is banked so that a 950 kg car traveling at 40.0 km/h can round it even i

spayn [35]

Answer:

$v = 15.56 m/s$

$v = 56 km/h$

Explanation:

When coefficient of friction is approximately zero then we have

$F_ncos\theta = mg$

$F_n sin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

here we know that

$v = 40 km/h = 11.11 m/s$

R = 30 m

$tan\theta = \frac{11.11^2}{30\times 9.81}$

$\theta = 22.75 degree$

now when friction coefficient is 0.30 then we have

$F_n cos\theta = mg + F_f sin\theta$

$F_f cos\theta + F_n sin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{Rg(\frac{\mu + tan\theta}{1 - \mu tan\theta})}$

$v = \sqrt{30(9.81)(\frac{0.30 + tan22.75}{1 - (0.30) tan22.75})}$

$v = 15.56 m/s$

$v = 56 km/h$

If you blow across the open end of a soda bottle and produce a tone of 250 Hz, what will be the frequency of the next harmonic h

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Generally, the lowest overtone for a pipe open at one end and closed would be at y / 4 where y represents lambda, the wavelength.

Since F (frequency) = c / y Speed/wavelength

F2 / F1 = y1 / y2 because c is the same in both cases

F2 = y1/y2 * F1

F2 = 3 F1 = 750 /sec

Note that L = y1 / 4 = 3 y2 / 4 for these wavelengths to fit in the pipe

and y1 = 3 y2

The following three questions refer to a situation in which a driver is in a car that crashes into a solid wall. The car comes t

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1) p₀ = 45000 N / s , p₀ '= 1800 , b) I = -45000 N s , I = 1800 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse equals the change in momentum

I = Δp

1) the initial moment of the car

p₀ = M v

p₀ = 1500 30

p₀ = 45000 N / s

the change at the moment is

Δp = 45000

because the end the car is stopped

moment of the person

P₀ ’= m v

p₀ '= 60 30

p₀ '= 1800

D₀ '= 1800

2) of the momentum change impulse ratio

car

I = Δp

I = -45000 N s

person

I = Δpo '

I = 1800 Ns

3) the object that give the momentum to stop the wall motoring

The person is stopped by the impulse given by the car

a) This area is the one that absorbs most of the vehicle impulse

be) If using a safety painter, the time during which the greater force will act, therefore the lessons decrease

c) The air bag helps reduction in the speed of the person relatively quickly.
