Calculate the temperature of the air mass when it has risen to a level at which atmospheric pressure is only 8.00×104 Pa . Assum

e that air is an ideal gas, with γ=1.40. (This rate of cooling for dry, rising air, corresponding to roughly 1 ∘C per 100 m of altitude, is called the dry adiabatic lapse rate.)

Answer:

T_{2}=278.80 K

Explanation:

Let's use the equation that relate the temperatures and volumes of an adiabatic process in a ideal gas.

(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}.

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation to the initial and the final state:

\frac{p_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Let's recall that the term nR is a constant. That is why we can match these equations.  

We can find a relation between the volumes of the initial and the final state.

\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}}

Combining this equation with the first equation we have:

(\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

(\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}^{\gamma}}{T_{1}^{\gamma}}

Now, we just need to solve this equation for T₂.

T_{1}\cdot (\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}} = T_{2}

Let's assume the initial temperature and pressure as 25 °C = 298 K and 1 atm = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa, in a normal conditions.

Here,

p_{2}=8.00\cdot 10^{4} Pa \\p_{1}=1.01\cdot 10^{5} Pa\\ T_{1}=298 K\\ \gamma=1.40

Finally, T2 will be:

T_{2}=278.80 K

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three
Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is

<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N

<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N

So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

- Peat soil

- Loamy soil

- Clay soil

Explanation:

Peat soil is dark, highly decomposed organic matter found in soil.

Loamy soil is a mixture of materials that holds moisture and drains well and also contains coarse grains and allows water to drain quickly.

Clay soil contains medium grains and retains water. Also it contains fine grains and has little space for water.

Joanna wants to determine the speed of sound in xenon. When she plays a tone with a frequency of 440 Hz, the resulting sound wav
iVinArrow [24]

The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

<h3 /><h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken.

To calculate the speed of the sound in the xenon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • v = λf............. Equation 1

Where:

  • v = Speed of the sound in xenon
  • f = Frequency
  • λ = Wavelength.

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 440 Hz
  • λ = 40.4 cm = 0.404 m

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • v = 440(0.404)
  • v = 177.76 m/s.
  • v ≈ 178 m/s

Hence, The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s
