Answer:

1 is the starting and 2 is the ending

Explanation:

The numbers in this problem tells us the starting amount and ending value.

This equation:

P $_{1}$ V $_{1}$ = P $_{2}$ V $_{2}$

is one of the gas laws. Particularly, this is called Boyle's law. The law relates volume to pressure.

Here is the postulate "The volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure provided that temperature is constant".

P $_{1}$ V $_{1}$ = P $_{2}$ V $_{2}$

P₁ is the starting pressure

P₂ is the ending pressure

V₁ is the volume at starting pressure

V₂ is the volume at ending pressure

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, $d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }$ ..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, $\lambda$ = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

$A_{m}$ = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

$sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}$

$sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}$

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

$d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m$

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential h

BartSMP [9]

Specific Gravity of the fluid = 1.25
Height h = 28 in
Atmospheric Pressure = 12.7 psia
Density of water = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 at 32F
Density of the Fluid = Specific Gravity of the fluid x Density of water = 1.25 x 62.4
Density of the Fluid p = 78 lbm/ft^3
Difference in pressure as we got the differential height, dP = p x g x h dP = (78 lbm/ft^3) x (32.174 ft/s^2) x (28/12 ft) [ 1 lbf / 32.174 ft/s^2] [1 ft^2 /
144in^2]
Difference in pressure = 1.26 psia
(a) Pressure in the arm that is at Higher
P = Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure difference = 12.7 - 1.26 = 11.44 psia
(b) Pressure in the tank that is at Lower
P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure difference = 12.7 + 1.26 = 13.96psia

Consider two celestial objects with masses m1 and m2 with a separation distance between their centers r. If the first mass m1 we

Scilla [17]

The new magnitude of the force of attraction will be 6 times the original force of attraction

<h3>How to determine the initial force </h3>

Mass 1 = m₁
Mass 2 = m₂
Gravitational constant = G
Distance apart = r
Initial force (F₁) = ?

F = Gm₁m₂ / r²

F₁ = Gm₁m₂ / r²

<h3>How to determine the new force </h3>

Mass 1 = 2m₁
Mass 2 = 3m₂
Gravitational constant = G
Distance apart (r) = r
New force (F₂) =?

F = Gm₁m₂ / r²

F₂ = G × 2m₁ × 3m₂ / r²

F₂ = 6Gm₁m₂ / r²

But

F₁ = Gm₁m₂ / r²

Therefore

F₂ = 6Gm₁m₂ / r²

F₂ = 6F₁

Thus, the new magnitude of the force of attraction will be 6 times the original force of attraction

Draw the following vector quantity Using the coordinate system.

DiKsa [7]

The given vectors quantities can be described by their properties of both

magnitude and direction.

a. The drawing of the vector extending from point (0, 0) to (190, 0) on the coordinate plane is attached.

b. The velocity vector extending from (0, 0) to (108.76, 50.714) on the coordinate plane is attached.

c. The displacement vector extending from (0, 0) to (30·√2, 30·√2) is attached.

Reasons:

a. The magnitude of the vector = 190 N

The direction in which the vector acts = East

Therefore, in vector form, we have;

$\vec{F}$ = 190 × cos(0)·i + 190 × sin(0)·j = 190·i

The vector can be represented by an horizontal line, 190 units long

Coordinate points on the vector = (0, 0) and (190, 0)

The drawing of the vector with the above points using MS Excel is attached.

b. Magnitude of the velocity vector = 120 km/hr. 25° North of east

Solution;

The vector form of the velocity is; $\vec{v}$ = 120 × cos(25)·i + 120×sin(25)·j, which gives;

$\vec{v}$ = 120 × cos(25)·i + 120×sin(25)·j ≈ 108.76·i + 50.714·j

$\vec{v}$ ≈ 108.76·i + 50.714·j

Therefore, points that define the vector are; (0, 0) and (108.76, 50.714)

The drawing of the vector is attached

c. The magnitude of the vector = 60 m

The direction of the vector is southwest = West 45° south

The vector form of the displacement is $\vec{d}$ = 60 × cos(45°)·i + 60 × sin(45°)·j

Which gives;

$\vec{d}$ = 30·√2·i + 30·√2·j

Points on the vector are therefore; (0, 0), and (30·√2, 30·√2)

The drawing of the vector is attached
