A gas cylinder is filled with 4.00 moles of oxygen gas at 300.0 k. the piston is compressed to yield a pressure of 400.0 kpa. wh
Radda [10]
To answer this item, it is assumed that the gas in the cylinder is ideal such that it follows the equation,
                                        PV = nRT
when V is to be calculated,
                                              V = nRT/P
        V = (4)(0.0821 L.atm/molK)(300 K) / (400 kPa/101.325 kPa/atm)  
                                                V = 24.95 L
Thus, the volume of gas in the cylinder is 24.95 L.

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.4
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t  (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

replacing ;

Δx = 2t   ; we have:

2t = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

Given that thickness t = 700 nm

Then

2× 700 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     --- equation (1)

For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference

2× 980 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     ----- equation (2)

Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'

λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )

λ = 1960 - 1400

λ = 560 nm

Thus;  the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

b)  

For the smallest thickness t_{min} ; \ \ \ m =0

∴ 2t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{2}

t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{4}

t_{min} =\frac{560}{4}

t_{min} =140 \ \  nm

Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Why is the efficiency of a machine always less than 100 percent? The work input is too small. It cannot have an IMA greater than
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Some work input is lost to friction

Explanation:

The efficiency of a machine is defined as:

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}} (1)

where

W_{out} is the work output

W_{in} is the work input

Due to the law of conservation of energy, the work output can never be larger than the work input (because energy cannot be created). Moreover, in real machines part of the work input is lost due to the presence of frictions: as a result, part of the energy in input is converted into thermal energy or other forms of energy, and so the work output is smaller than the work input, and so the ratio (1) becomes less than 1, and so the efficiency is less than 100%.

Why do some balloons pop when they are left in sunlight for too long
Ghella [55]
 <span>the sun raises the temperatures of molecules inside the balloon. As the molecules receives more kinetic energy, they move apart from each other and expand in volume. Depend on the balloon's material, it might not be strong enough to handle the pressure exerted by the gas inside, and the balloon will pop.</span>

If the mass of a material is 48 grams and the volume of the material is 8 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?
iris [78.8K]
Density’s is mass by volume
So mass is 48 grams
Volume is 8cm^3
There is no need to convert units as they are same
So 48/8 gives you 6
So your answe should be 6g/cm^3 or 6gcm^-3
