The extrapolated temperature is used to define the maximum temperature of the mixture relatively than the highest recorded temperature in which the conclusion will effect in a higher specific heat value. Heat is bound to escape from whatever apparatus is using, therefore it is needed to account for the loss of the heat that does not go into increasing the temperature of the mixture.
Answer: Escaped volume = 0.0612m^3
Explanation:
According to Boyle's law
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = initial pressure in the tire = 36.0psi + 14.696psi = 50.696psi (guage + atmospheric pressure)
P2 = atmospheric pressure= 14.696psi
V1 = volume of tire =0.025m^3
V2 = escaped volume + V1 ( since air still remain in the tire)
V2 = P1V1/P2
V2 = 50.696×0.025/14.696
V2 = 0.0862m^3
Escaped volume = 0.0862 - 0.025 = 0.0612m^3
In 6 secs, the dog covers-
S=vt
8.9*6 = 53.4 m.
In the same time, the cat covers, 53.4-3.8 = 49.6 m.
Thus, speed of the cat, v= s/t,
= 49.6/6 = 8.267 m/s
He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.
