Answer:

The options are

A) isochoric.

B) isothermal.

C) adiabatic.

D) isobaric.

The answer is C. Adiabatic

Adiabatic process involves zero loss or gain of heat in a system. This is usually depicted as Q= 0.

An ideal gas being compressed in a well-insulated chamber using a well-insulated piston involves the use of adiabatic process. The insulated chamber and piston helps to prevent heat loss or gain of heat. This is because insulators are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The very high voltage needed to create a spark across the spark plug is produced at the transformer's secondary winding. <span>The secondary coil is engulfed by a powerful and changing magnetic field. This field induces a current in the coils -- a very high-voltage current.</span>

A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 38 ft/s2. what is the dist

e-lub [12.9K]

Convert 38 ft/s^2 to mi/h^2. Then we se the conversion factor > 1 mile = 5280 feet and 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

So now we show it > $38 \frac{ft}{s^2} x \frac{1mi}{5280ft} x \frac{(3600s)^2}{(1h)^2} = 93272.27 \frac{mi}{h^2}$

Then we have to use the formula of constant acceleration to determine the distance traveled by the car before it ended up stopping.

Which the formula for constant acceleration would be > $v_2^2=v_1^2 + 2as$

The initial velocity is 50mi/h $(v_1=50)$

When it stops the final velocity is $(v_2=0)$

Since the given is deceleration it means the number we had gotten earlier would be a negative so a = -93272.27

Then we substitute the values in....

$0^2 = 50^2 + 2(-93272.27)s

0 = 2500 - 186544.54s

Isolate S next.

185644.54s= 2500

s = 2500/(185644.54)

s=0.0134
$

So we can say the car stopped at 0.0134 miles before it came to a stop but to express the distance traveled in feet we need to use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 5280 feet in otherwards > $0.0134 mi * \frac{5280ft}{1mi} = 70.8 ft$
So this means that the car traveled in feet 70.8 ft before it came to a stop.

Jlenok [28]

The independent variable is the different amount of repellent each person is given. This is because it does not depend on any variable. The dependent variable is what they are measuring, which would be the number of bites on each volunteer.
I hope this helps! :)

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
