A hand pump is being used to inflate a bicycle tire that has a gauge pressure of 41.0 lb/in2. If the pump is a cylinder of lengt

h 16.8 in. with a cross-sectional area of 3.00 in.2, how far down must the piston be pushed before air will flow into the tire? Assume the temperature is constant.

Answer:

L - h = 12.3672 in

Explanation:

Given

P = 41.0 lb/in² = 41 P.S.I

L = 16.8 in

A = 3.00 in²

h = ?

In order that air flows into the tire, the pressure in the pump must be more than the tire pressure,  41.0  PSI.

We assume that air follows ideal gas equation, the temperature of the compressed air remains constant as the piston moves down. Taking one atmospheric pressure to be  14.6959  P.S.I , we can use the ideal gas equation

P*V = n*R*T

As number of moles of air do not change during its compression in the pump, n*R*T of the gas equation is constant. Therefore we have

P₁*V₁ = P₂*V₂    ⇒    V₂ = P₁*V₁ / P₂

where  

1  and  2  are initial and final states respectively,

V₁ = A*L = (3.00 in²)*(16.8 in)   ⇒   V₁ = 50.4 in³

P₁ = 14.6959  P.S.I

P₂ = P₁ + P = (14.6959 lb/in²) + (41.0 lb/in²) = 55.6959 lb/in²

Inserting various values we get

V₂ = (14.6959  P.S.I)*(50.4 in³) / (55.6959 lb/in²)

⇒  V₂ = 13.2985 in³

Length of pump, measured from bottom, this volume corresponds to is

h = V₂ / A  = (13.2985 in³) / (3.00 in²)

⇒  h = 4.4328 in

Piston must be pushed down by more than

L - h = 16.8 in - 4.4328 in = 12.3672 in

pishuonlain [190]
A sphere is charged with electrons to −9 × 10−6 C. The value given is the total charge of all the electrons present in the sphere. To calculate the number of electrons in the sphere, we divide the the total charge with the charge of one electron.

N = 9 × 10−6 C / 1.6 × 10−19 C
N = 5.6 x 10^13

We can see Objects because of
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

I believe it's A.)

Explanation:

Although light comes into our atmosphere through refraction, it reaches our eyes only through reflection from objects. So when light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea you can then see that object.

Hope this helps you out : )

An object attached to one end of a spring makes 20 vibrations in 10 seconds. Its angular frequency is: 0. 79 rad/s 1. 57 rad/s 2
morpeh [17]

Angular frequency in radian per second for 20 vibrations in 10 seconds is 12.6 rad/s

<h3>What is Angular frequency?</h3>

Angular frequency is the number of vibrations in radian per second.

The total number of vibrations n is 20 and the time taken for these vibrations is 10 s

The frequency of the vibrations will be

f = 20 / 10 = 2 Hz

Angular frequency is related to the frequency as

ω = 2πf

ω=2π × 2

ω = 12.6 rad/s

Thus, the angular frequency is 12.6 rad/s.
