The gas is in a rigid container: this means that its volume remains constant. Therefore, we can use Gay-Lussac law, which states that for a gas at constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. The law can be written as follows:

\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}

Where P1=5 atm is the initial pressure, T1=254.5 K is the initial temperature, P2 is the new pressure and T2=101.8 K is the new temperature. Re-arranging the equation and using the data of the problem, we can find P2:

P_2 = T_2 \frac{P_1}{T_1}=(101.8 K) \frac{5 atm}{254.5 K}=2 atm

So, the new pressure is 2 atm.

rickey approaches third base. He dives head first, hitting the ground at 6.75 m/s and reaching the base at 5.91 m/s in 2.5 secon
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

15.825 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.75 m/s

v = Final velocity = 5.91 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{5.91-6.75}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=-0.336\ m/s^2

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{5.91^2-6.75^2}{2\times -0.336}\\\Rightarrow s=15.825\ m

The distance Rickey slides across the ground before touching the base is 15.825 m

Your classmate says that if all the molecules in a particular liquid had the same speed, and some were able to evaporate, the re
babymother [125]
The molecules which evaporate presumably take heat away from the liquid. So, I'd disagree with the classmate. Whether the amount of cooling would differ from the usual case wherein the molecules have different speeds is another question. 
I guess the argument goes something along the lines of that the faster moving and therefore most kinetically energetic molecues evaporate and take away most heat. But if there's no faster moving molecules, 'cos they all have the same speed well, then presumably they'd all take away the same amount of heat. So, maybe the cooling would be less. No cooling though ??? Hmmmm dunno .... i think not ....
