Gases have an indefinite shape and volume

Physics

Yes that's true they do.

A sample of gas will change its shape and size, to take on the exact shape and size of whatever container you put it in.

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What is the new vol
Alborosie
Initial volume of the gas (V1) = 10 inches^3
Initial pressure (P1) = 5 psi
Final pressure after compression of the gas (P1) = 10 psi
Let us assume the final volume of the gas (V2) = x
According to Boyle's Gas law, the pressure and volume of a gas remains constant under ideal condition. Then
P1V1= P2V2
5 * 10 = 10 * x
50 = 10x
x = 50/10
   = 5 cubic inches
So the volume of the gas after it was compressed was 5 cubic inches. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

An x-ray photon is scattered by an originally stationary electron. how does the frequency of the scattered photon compare relati
Viefleur [7K]

The frequency of the scattered photon decreases or it will be lower compare to the frequency of incident photon. An x-ray photon scatters in one direction after a collision and some energy is transferred to the electron as it recoils in another direction resulting to have less energy in the scattered photon. In addition, the frequencies will also depend on the differences of the angle at which the scattered photon leaves the collision and this incident is called Compton Effect.

A point charge Q is held at a distance r from the center of a dipole that consists of two charges ±q separated by a distance s.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

a) the magnitude of the force is

F= Q(\frac{kqs}{r^3}) and where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b)  the magnitude of the torque on the dipole

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²

Explanation:

from coulomb's law

E = \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

where k = 1/4πε₀

the expression of the electric field due to dipole at a distance r is

E(r) = \frac{kp}{r^{3} } , where p = q × s

E(r) = \frac{kqs}{r^{3} } where r>>s

a) find the magnitude of force due to the dipole

F=QE

F= Q(\frac{kqs}{r^3})

where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b) b) magnitude of the torque(τ) on the dipole is dependent on the perpendicular forces

τ = F sinθ × s

θ = 90°

note: sin90° = 1

τ = F × r

recall  F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

∴ τ = (Qqs/4πε₀r³) × r

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²
