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

These are the Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

This law relates a planet's orbital period and its average distance to the Sun. - Third law of Kepler.

The orbits of planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus. - First law of Kepler.

The speed of a planet varies, such that a planet sweeps out an equal area in equal time frames. - Second law of Kepler.

What is the reaction force of the table with a weight of 558N
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: reaction force = -558N

Explanation:

w = f = 558N

since action force and reaction force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction,

reaction force = -(f)

reaction force = -558N

if that helps.

How do scientists use the Doppler effect to understand the universe?
professor190 [17]
There's a very subtle thing going on here, one that could blow your mind.

Wherever we look in the universe, no matter what direction we look,
we see the light from distant galaxies arriving at our telescopes with
longer wavelengths than the light SHOULD have.

The only way we know of right now that can cause light waves to get
longer after they leave the source is motion of the source away from
the observer. The lengthening of the waves on account of that motion
is called the Doppler effect.  (The answer to the question is choice-c.)

But that may not be the only way that light waves can get stretched.  It's
the only way we know of so far, and so we say that the distant galaxies
are all moving away from us. 

From that, we say the whole universe is expanding, and that right there is
one of the strongest observations that we explain with the Big Bang theory
of creation.

Now:  If ... say tomorrow ... a competent Physicist discovers another way
for light waves to get stretched after they leave the source, then the whole
"expanding universe" idea is out the window, and probably the Big Bang
theory along with it !


Now that our mind has been blown, come back down to Earth with me,
and I'll give you something else to think about:

It's true that when we look at distant galaxies, we do see their light
arriving in our telescopes with longer wavelengths than it should have.
And then we use the Doppler effect to calculate how fast that galaxy
is moving away from us.  That's all true.  Astronomers are doing it
every day.                                   I mean every night.

So here's the question for you to think about ... maybe even READ about:

When the light from a distant galaxy pours into our telescope, and we
look at it, and we measure its wavelength, and we find that the wavelength
is longer than it should be ... how do we know what it should be ? ? ?

Explanation:

either C or A but A seems unlikely after multiple attempts. Although the question doesn't make it clear whether the balance is electric either way it could be wrong in someway and seems to be the most likely.
