When scientists record the volume of a gas, why do they also record the temperature and the pressure?

Boyle's law and Charles's law tells us that the volume of a gas is dependent on pressure and temperature. That is why scientists have to also take measurements of the pressure and temperature when they take the measurement for volume of the gas.

Because the volume of gas depend upon the pressure and the absolute temperature.

A disk rotates about its central axis starting from rest and accelerates with constant angular acceleration. At one time it is r

atroni [7]

(a) $2.79 rev/s^2$

The angular acceleration can be calculated by using the following equation:

$\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2 \alpha \theta$

where:

$\omega_f = 20.0 rev/s$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 11.0 rev/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

$\theta=50.0 rev$ is the number of revolutions made by the disk while accelerating

Solving the equation for $\alpha$ , we find

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2d}=\frac{(20.0 rev/s)^2-(11.0 rev/s)^2}{2(50.0 rev)}=2.79 rev/s^2$

(b) 3.23 s

The time needed to complete the 50.0 revolutions can be found by using the equation:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}$

where

$\omega_f = 20.0 rev/s$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 11.0 rev/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

t is the time

Solving for t, we find

$t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}=\frac{20.0 rev/s-11.0 rev/s}{2.79 rev/s^2}=3.23 s$

(c) 3.94 s

Assuming the disk always kept the same acceleration, then the time required to reach the 11.0 rev/s angular speed can be found again by using

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}$

where

$\omega_f = 11.0 rev/s$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 0 rev/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

t is the time

Solving for t, we find

$t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}=\frac{11.0 rev/s-0 rev/s}{2.79 rev/s^2}=3.94 s$

(d) 21.7 revolutions

The number of revolutions made by the disk to reach the 11.0 rev/s angular speed can be found by using

$\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2 \alpha \theta$

where:

$\omega_f = 11.0 rev/s$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 0 rev/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

$\theta=?$ is the number of revolutions made by the disk while accelerating

Solving the equation for $\theta$ , we find

$\theta=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\alpha}=\frac{(11.0 rev/s)^2-0^2}{2(2.79 rev/s^2)}=21.7 rev$

How are length and volume alike

SIZIF [17.4K]

You used lengths to calculate the volume.length is considered one dimensional.while volume is considered 3 dimensional.you used 3 individual dimensions their numerical lengths to find volumes of three dimensional figures.

The metal with the highest melting temperature is tungsten which melts at around 3400 K. What is the wavelength of the peak of t

alekssr [168]

Explanation:

It is given that, the metal with the highest melting temperature is tungsten which melts at around 3400 K, T = 3400 K

We need to find the wavelength of the peak of the black body distribution for this temperature. It can be calculated using Wein's displacement law as :

$\lambda\times T=k$
