A gas fills the right portion of a horizontal cylinder whose radius is 5.33 cm. The initial pressure of the gas is 2.29 x 105 Pa

. A frictionless movable piston separates the gas from the left portion of the cylinder that is evacuated and contains an ideal spring, as the drawing shows. The piston is initially held in place by a pin. The spring is initially unstrained, and the length of the gas-filled portion is 18.9 cm. When the pin is removed and the gas is allowed to expand, the length of the gas-filled chamber doubles. The initial and final temperatures are equal. Determine the spring constant of the spring.

Answer:

k = 5406.88 N/m

Explanation:

Since the initial and final temperatures are constant while the gas expands, the expansion of the gas obeys Boyle's law

Initial gas pressure, P_1 = 2.29 * 10^5 Pa

Let the initial gas volume  V_1 = V

Volume = Length * Area

Since the cross sectional area does not change and the length of the gas-filled chamber is said to double, then the volume also doubles.

V_2 = 2V

The final gas pressure, P_2 will be gotten from the Boyle's law equation

P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2\\P_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{V_2} \\P_2 = \frac{2.29*10^5 * V}{2V}\\P_2 = \frac{2.29*10^5 }{2}\\P_2 = 1.145 *10^5 Pa

The Cross Sectional Area, A = \pi R^2

R = 5.33 cm = 0.0533 m

A = \pi * 0.0533^2 = 0.0089 m²

The force exerted on the piston, F = P₂ A

F = 1.145 * 10⁵ * 0.0089

F = 1021.9 N

To get the spring constant, use Hooke's law

F = k Δx

Where Δx = l₂ - l₁

Δx = 2l - l = l ( since the length of the chamber doubles on expansion)

Δx = 18.9 cm = 0.189 m

F = k Δx

1021.9 = k * 0.189

k = 1021.9/0.189

k = 5406.88 N/m

mixer [17]

Answer: the lattice contains 1 magnesium ion for every 2 fluoride ions.

MgF_2  is an ionic compound. It contains positive ions of Magnesium and  and negative ions of Fluorine. To balance the +2 positive charge of one magnesium ion, two (-1) negatively charged Fluorine ions are present. Hence, The correct interpretation of MgF_2  is that the lattice contains 1 Magnesium ion for every 2 Fluoride ions.

Ek=8J <br>m=100g <br> V=?<br><br>How much is V going to be?<br>Explain step by step, please​
Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If Ek is the kinetic energy and m is the mass and v is the velocity then v can be calculated as follows

Ek= 1/2 ×( m × v² )

2Ek= mv²

2Ek/m = v²

v =√(2Ek/m)

m = 0.1 kg

v= √(2x8/0.1)= 12.65 m/s

A horizontal desk surface measures 1.7 m by 1.0 m. If the Earth's magnetic field has magnitude 0.42 mT and is directed 68° below
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The magnetic flux through the desk surface is 6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field B = 0.42 T

Angle =68°

We need to calculate the magnetic flux

\phi=BA\costheta

Where, B = magnetic field

A = area

Put the value into the formula

\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\cos22^{\circ}

\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\times0.927

\phi=6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2

Hence, The magnetic flux through the desk surface is 6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2.
