Answer:

Chest experiences the friction forces towards right

Explanation:

Friction forces can be defined as a force a body experiences when it is made to slide against the surface. Friction force always acts to stop the the body which is moving. To stop the body, it always acts in the opposite directions to the motion of the body. Therefore, if the treasure chest is dragged across a sandy beach to the left, the frictional forces will act in the right direction.

Question:

Consider a sample of helium gas in a container fitted with a piston as pictured below. The piston is frictionless, but has a mass of 10.0 kg. How many of the following processes will cause the piston to move away from the base and decrease the pressure of the gas? Assume ideal behavior.

I. Heating the helium. II.

II. toRemoving some of the helium from the container.

III. Turning the container on its side.

IV. Decreasing the pressure outside the container.

a) 0

b) 1

c) 2

d) 3

e) 4

Answer:

Only one process will cause the piston to move which is

i) Heating the helium

Explanation:

When helium is heated it becomes less dense or lighter. Heating the helium will cause an increase in volume which will make the piston to move away from the base. When the volume finishes increasing, the piston will stop moving which in turn will make the forces on both sides of the piston balanced, so the pressure inside will balance the weight of the piston and that of the atmosphere. From that we can see that there has been a pressure change as a result of heating.

How long does it take for a truck accelerating at 1.5 m/s^2 to got from rest to 75 km/hr
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

t = 13.9s

Explanation:

u = 0 m/s

v = 75 km/h

= 20.83 m/s

a = 1.5 m/s²

Using

v = u + at

20.83 = 0 + 1.5t

t = 13.9s
