Correct answer choice is :

A) Atmospheric composition

Explanation:

A radiosonde is a battery-powered telemetry device transmitted into the environment normally by a weather balloon that regulates several atmospheric parameters and sends them by radio to a ground receiver. The radiosonde is a small, expandable device unit that is recessed below a six-foot-wide balloon inflated with hydrogen or helium. As the radiosonde stands at about 1,000 feet/minute, sensors on the radiosonde measure forms of pressure, temperature, and related moisture.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Atmospheric composition is not a measurement taken by a radiosonde. A radiosonde is an instrument used to measure different atmospheric parameters.

A mass on the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. At the instant when the mass is at its maximum displacement from

Mrac [35]

Answer:

C) True. At maximum displacement, its instantaneous velocity is zero.

Explanation:

The simple harmonic movement is given by

x = A cos wt

Speed

v = - A w sin wt

At the point of maximum displacement x = A

A = A cos wt

cos wt = 1

wt = 0

We replace the speed

v = -Aw sin 0 = A w

Speed is maximum

Let's review the claims

A) False. Speed is zero

B) False. It can be determined

C) True. Agree with our result

D) False. When one is maximum the other is minimum

Nitrogen at 100 kPa and 25oC in a rigid vessel is heated until its pressure is 300 kPa. Calculate (a) the work done and (b) the

nignag [31]

Answer:

A. The work done during the process is W = 0

B. The value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial pressure $P_{1}$ = 100 k pa

Initial temperature $T_{1}$ = 25 degree Celsius = 298 Kelvin

Final pressure $P_{2}$ = 300 k pa

Vessel is rigid so change in volume of the gas is zero. so that initial volume is equal to final volume.

⇒ $V_{1}$ = $V_{2}$ ------------- (1)

Since volume of the gas is constant so pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ $\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1}}$ = $\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}$

⇒ Put all the values in the above formula we get the final temperature

⇒ $T_{2}$ = $\frac{300}{100}$ × 298

⇒ $T_{2}$ = 894 Kelvin

(A). Work done during the process is given by W = P × ( $V_{2} -V _{1}$ )

From equation (1), $V_{1}$ = $V_{2}$ so work done W = P × 0 = 0

⇒ W = 0

Therefore the work done during the process is zero.

Heat transfer during the process is given by the formula Q = m $C_{v}$ ( $T_{2}$ - $T_{1}$ )

Where m = mass of the gas = 1 kg

$C_{v}$ = specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen = 0.743 $\frac{KJ}{kg k}$

Thus the heat transfer Q = 1 × 0.743 × ( 894- 298 )

⇒ Q = 442.83 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

Therefore the value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

Tom is sitting facing forward in the train as it is getting ready to leave the station. He puts a smooth ball on the train floor

Vesnalui [34]

According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball is the ball rolls backward.

<h3>What is the first law?</h3>

This means that an object at rest or in motion will remain uniformly rectilinear and tend to be in that state if the net force on it is zero.

In this case, we have to think that the ball is at rest and the train is moving with a velocity that way, the reaction of the ball will be to go in the opposite direction to the motion.

A solid conducting sphere of radius 2 cm has a charge of 8microCoulomb. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4 cm andout

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C) 7.35*10⁶ N/C radially outward

Explanation:

If we apply the Gauss'law, to a spherical gaussian surface with radius r=7 cm, due to the symmetry, the electric field must be normal to the surface, and equal at all points along it.
So, we can write the following equation:

$E*A = \frac{Q_{enc} }{\epsilon_{0}} (1)$

As the electric field must be zero inside the conducting spherical shell, this means that the charge enclosed by a spherical gaussian surface of a radius between 4 and 5 cm, must be zero too.
So, the +8 μC charge of the solid conducting sphere of radius 2cm, must be compensated by an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell of total charge -4 μC.
So, on the outer surface of the shell there must be a charge that be the difference between them:

$Q_{enc} = - 4e-6 C - (-8e-6 C) = + 4 e-6 C$

Replacing in (1) A = 4*π*ε₀, and Qenc = +4 μC, we can find the value of E, as follows:

$E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon_{0} } *\frac{Q_{enc} }{r^{2} } = \frac{9e9 N*m2/C2*4e-6C}{(0.07m)^{2} } = 7.35e6 N/C$

As the charge that produces this electric field is positive, and the electric field has the same direction as the one taken by a positive test charge under the influence of this field, the direction of the field is radially outward, away from the positive charge.

A 70 ft rope hangs from a helicopter above this room. The rope has a mass per unit length of 2 lb/ft. In order to be rescued fro

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

= 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs + 140 lbs

= 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s² x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s² = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is 2.47 X 10⁴ J.
