What is the effect on the gas’ pressure when compressing a gas to 1/3 of its volume? Explain

Physics

Explanation:

It's pressure become three times larger because according to Boyles Law the pressure of fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume provided that temp remains constant. That means a reduction in volume, will result in an increase in pressure and vice versa.

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .
vlabodo [156]

Answer: 90\°

Explanation:

The Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)     (1)

Where:

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}c}, being h the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c the speed of light in vacuum.

\theta) the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180\°:

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))     (2)

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))    

\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}     (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (4)

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (5)

If we want \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}, 1-cos\theta   must be equal to 1:

1-cos\theta=1   (6)

Finding \theta:

1-1=cos\theta

0=cos\theta  

\theta=cos^{-1} (0)  

Finally:

\theta=90\°    This is the scattering angle that will produce \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}

A car travels at uniform acceleration over a tine interval of 20.0s. its initial velocity is 11.0m/s and its final velocity is 3
SIZIF [17.4K]

Since the acceleration is uniform, we can calculate it from the data we are given:

a = (vf - vi)/2

where vf=33 m/s and vi=11 m/s

Then use Suvat's equation:

x(t) = vi*t + 0.5 * a * t

where t=20s

Direct current is the flow of an electric charge?
RUDIKE [14]
Direct current is the unidirectional flow of an electric charge.

The term 'unidirectional' in the statement means that direct current only moves in one direction. Direct current usually produced by things such as batteries, dynamos, and power supplies
