When a gas is compressed, the molecules are pushed closer together causing the gas to ______.

Physics

yan [13]3 years ago

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When gas is compressed then molecules of gas will come closer to each other. Though molecules already had kinetic energy and on compressing the molecules will collide more rapidly with each other.

As a result, energy will be released in the form of heat. Thus, there will be rise in temperature.

Hence, we can conclude that when a gas is compressed, the molecules are pushed closer together causing the gas to rise in temperature.

The answer is "rise in temperature". Think of when you're in a crowded place. When it's crowded it gets hot because of the energy radiating off of everyone around you.

A balloon is ascending at 12.4m/s at a height of 81.3m above the ground when a package is dropped. a) How long did it take to re
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

3secs

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

height H= 81.3m

Velocity v = 12.4m/s

Required

Time it take to reach the ground

Using the equation of motion

H = ut+1/2gt²

81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²

81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0

Using the general formula to find t

t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8

t = -12.4+41.8/9.8

t = 29.4/9.8

t = 3secs

Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground

I have a question regarding friction in rolling without slipping.
Solnce55 [7]

Explanation:

They probably put "rolls without slipping" in there to indicate that there is no loss in friction; or that the friction is constant throughout the movement of the disk. So it's more of a contingency part of the explanation of the problem.

(Remember how earlier on in Physics lessons, we see "ignore friction" written into problems; it just removes the "What about [ ]?" question for anyone who might ask.)

In this case, you can't ignore friction because the disk wouldn't roll without it.

As far as friction producing a torque... I would say that friction is a result of the torque in this case. And because the point of contact is, presumably, the ground, the friction is tangential to the disk. Meaning the friction is linear and has no angular component.

(You could probably argue that by Newton's 3rd Law there should be some opposing torque, but I think that's outside of the scope of this problem.)

Hopefully this helps clear up the misunderstanding for you.
