The answer to the question would be the second choice: <span>The west component is a negative number, and the north component is a positive number. It can be based upon in a Cartesian coordinate system wherein the coordinate is located in the second quadrant. </span>

Answer:

The west component is a negative number, and the north component is a positive number.

Explanation:

For this problem, we take the standard Cartesian axis, so that:

- along the vertical axis, the north direction is positive, and the south direction is negative

- along the horizontal axis, the east direction is positive, and the west direction is negative

The boat travels in a direction which is 25° west of north. This means that its vertical component is in the north direction, while the horizontal component is in the west direction. Since north = positive and west = negative, the correct option is

The west component is a negative number, and the north component is a positive number.

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands
seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV =  n*R*T  ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)  = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J

What is the mass of a dog that weighs 382 N?(unit=kg)
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: mass = 38.93 kg

Explanation:

Data

mass = ?

Weight = 382 N

gravity = 9.81 m/s2

Formula

Weight = mass x gravity

mass = weight / gravity

mass = 382 / 9.81         substitution

mass = 38.93 kg           result

our iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave pr
Elena-2011 [213]

wavelength of the EM  wave produced by your iclicker is 0.33 m.

<h3>What makes an EM wave?</h3>
  • When an electric field (illustrated in red arrows) combines with a magnetic field, electromagnetic waves are generated (which is shown in blue arrows). An electromagnetic wave's magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular to each other and to the wave's direction.
  • A changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field, and vice versa—the two are inextricably related. Electromagnetic waves are created by changing fields. Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, do not require a medium to propagate.

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is

f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ,  is given by

fλ = v

λ = v/f

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)

  = 1/3 m = 0.333 m

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

PV=nRT

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i} (1)

P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f} (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because T_{i}=T_{f}, n_{i}=n_{f} and R is an universal constant:

P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}, solving for V_{f}

V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}

V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches
