Because of convection, the warmest air in a room

Physics
1 answer:
noname [10]3 years ago
6 0
The correct choice is
B. rises toward the ceiling
<span>In fact, the warmest air is also the air with least density: in warm air, the particles move faster, so the distance between them is larger, on average. Therefore, the warmest air is less dense, and because of that it tends to flow upwards (due to Archimede's principle) and it is replaced by the colder air, creating the so-called convection current.</span>

A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb
marin [14]

Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}

P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

     P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}

P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

    P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

    P = P₁ + P₂

    P = 9.25 + 2.39

    P = 11.64 atm

Answer:

B.C. D. G.

Explanation:

A vector quantity, has both magnitude and direction. A tip to remember is if you can add a direction to it! You wouldnt say 30 pounds north, but you would say 30 mph north.

<em>I hope this helped! Comment if you have any questions! :)</em>

: Do you attract the Earth or the Earth attracts you which one is attracting with a larger force?
seraphim [82]

Answer: The Earth and you are attracted to the centers of each other by a pair of equal gravitational forces. The size of the force attracting you toward the center of the Earth is your "weight" on Earth. The size of the force attracting the Earth toward the center of you is the Earth's "weight" on you.

An infinite line of charge with charge density λ1 = 0.6 μC/cm is aligned with the y-axis.
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

1440 × 10⁴ N/C

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Charge density λ1 = 0.6 μC/cm = 6 × 10⁻⁵ C/m

a = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

Now,

Electric field due to a line charge at a distance 'a' is given as:

Ex(P) = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0a}

also,

we know

\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

Thus,

we have

Ex(P) = \frac{2}{2}\times\frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0a}=\frac{2\lambda}{4\pi\epsilon_0a}

therefore,

Ex(P) = \frac{2\times6\times10^{-5}\times9\times10^9}{0.075}

= 1440 × 10⁴ N/C
