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

A spaceship travels 360km in one hour. Express its speed in m/s
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Spaceship speed is 36000 km/h

So, in 1 hour spaceship travel 36000 km

Or we can say that in 60×60 second spaceship travel 36000 km

Therefore in 1 sec spaceship travel

=

= 10 km/s

A car starts from rest and accelerated at a rate of 9m/s squared for 6.5 seconds. How much distance was covered by the car?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

58.5 meters

Explanation:

1. Find your formula. Use distance = speed x time for this problem

2. Plug in the given information. d (for distance) = 9m/s^2 * 6.5 s

3. Multiply number AND units. d = 58.5m

4. Check to make sure units & numbers make sense. In this case check that the answer is a lot bigger than what we stated with and that our units go with distance

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

0.5639m

Explanation:

For a young double slit experiment the expression below gives the angular separation for m dark fringe having slit width d and wavelength λ

=sin⁻¹(mλ/d)

mλ /d =y/L

for the first order,

y= mλL/d

For ratio separation y₀/yD=1 and d= 1

y₀/yD= [mλ ₀L₀/d]/[mλD.LD./d]

1=λ ₀L₀/λD.LD.

λD.LD= λ ₀L₀

L₀= λD.LD/ λ ₀..............(1)

Then substitute the given values into (1) we have

L₀=471 *0.497/611

= 0.3831m

Distance by which the screen has to be moved towards the slit is

LD- Lo

0.947-0.3831= 0.5639m

sashaice [31]

Answer:

52.47706 mph

54.5 mph

Explanation:

The average speed is given by

V_{av}=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

V_{av}=\dfrac{100}{\dfrac{50}{44}+\dfrac{50}{65}}\\\Rightarrow V_{av}=52.47706\ mph

Julie's average speed on the way to Grandmother's house is 52.47706 mph

V_{av}=\dfrac{44+65}{2}\\\Rightarrow V_{av}=54.5\ mph

Average speed on the return trip is 54.5 mph
