A teacher wants to demonstrate that unheated water can boil at room temperature in a beaker within a bell jar connected to a vac

-uum pump. However, the vacuum pump is faulty and can reduce pressures only to 15 kPa. Can the teacher use this pump to perform the demonstra-tion successfully? Explain your answer.

Answer:

No .

Explanation:

The vapor pressure of water at room temperature is .0313 atom  or 3.13 kPa.

To make a liquid boil, its vapor pressure must be  equal to pressure around it.

So pump must create pressure of 3.13 k Pa or less to make water attain its stage of boiling at room temperature. As the motor  can not produce pressure lesser than 15 k Pa , pump will not be able to make water boil at room temperature.

A balloon contains helium with a mass of 0.00296 g. What is the volume of helium in the balloon? (Note: Helium’s density is 0.00
Over [174]

Answer:

178 cm3

Explanation:

From definition of density, it is mass per unit volume of an object, expressed as density=mass/volume and making volume the subject of the above formula we have volume= mass/density and substituting 0.00296 g for mass and 0.00001663 g/cm3 for density then we have

Volume=0.00296/0.00001663

Volume is approximately 178 cm3

The total pressure for a fluid is a. the sum of the hydrostatic and static pressures. b. the sum of the hydrostatic and dynamic
m_a_m_a [10]

<h2>The option a is most appropriate </h2>

Explanation:

The total pressure due to liquid column at any place is the sum of

( i ) pressure due to liquid column called hydrostatic pressure

( ii ) the pressure due to air column above the liquid column , which is called the static pressure

Thus total pressure is the sum of hydrostatic and static pressure .

Thus the option a is most appropriate

A 40-kg rock is dropped from an elevation of 10 m. What is the velocity of the rock when it is 5-m from the ground?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=40\ kg

Elevation of Rock h=10\ m

Distance traveled by rock with time

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, u=initial velocity

t=time

a=acceleration

here initial velocity is zero

when rock is 5 m from ground then it has traveled a distance of 5 m from top because total height is 10 m

5=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(t^2)

t^2=\frac{10}{9.8}

t=1.004\approx 1\ s

velocity at this time

v=u+at

v=0+9.8\times 1.004

v=9.83\ m/s

The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth. Calculate the weight on the moon of an object that has a mass of 24 k
ad-work [718]
When we say "<span>The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth.",
we mean that the acceleration of gravity on the Moon's surface is 1/6 of
the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.

The acceleration of gravity is (9.8 m/s</span>²) on the Earth's surface, so
<span>it would be (9.8/6 m/s</span>²) on the Moon's surface.
<span>
The weight of any object, right now, is

(object's mass) </span>· (acceleration of gravity where the object is located now) .
<span>
If the object's mass is 24 kg and the object is on the Moon right now,
then its weight is 

(24 kg) </span>· (9.8/6 m/s²)

= (24 · 9.8 / 6) kg-m/s²

= 39.2 Newtons

When you are on a huge water slide what forces are there? when will you experience a net force?
Pani-rosa [81]
When you are on a huge water slide, the force present as you slide is the gravitational force. It is because the gravity enables you to slide down the water slide. The net force is the overall forces of the object, so as you slide the water slide, you may experience the net force once you slide down with the gravity and water sliding you down.
