Tres litros de oxigeno gaseoso a 15 grados centígrados y a presión atmosférica (1atm), se lleva a una presión de 10mm de Hg. ¿ c

lana [24]

Answer:

Three liters of gaseous oxygen at 15 degrees Celsius and at atmospheric pressure (1atm), is brought to a pressure of 10mm Hg. What will be the volume of the gas now if the temperature has not changed?

Explanation:

Given that, the temperature is constant

Then, using gay Lussac law

P1•V1 / T1 = P2•V2 / T2

Since temperature is constant

Then, T1 = T2 = T and they cancels out

So, we are left with

P1•V1 = P2•V2

Given that, .

Initial volume

V1 = 3 litres.

Initial pressure

P1 = 1atm = 101325 Pa

Final pressure

P2 = 10mmHg = 1333.22 Pa

Then, we want to find the final volume V2

Make V2 subject of formula.

V2 = V1•P1 / P2

V2 = 3 × 101325 / 1333.22

V2 = 288 litres

So, the final volume is 288 litres.

In Spanish

Dado que la temperatura es constante

Luego, usando la ley gay de Lussac

P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

Como la temperatura es constante

Entonces, T1 = T2 = T y se cancelan

Entonces, nos quedamos con

P1 • V1 = P2 • V2

Dado que, .

Volumen inicial

V1 = 3 litros.

Presión inicial

P1 = 1atm = 101325 Pa

Presión final

P2 = 10 mmHg = 1333.22 Pa

Entonces, queremos encontrar el volumen final V2

Hacer V2 sujeto de fórmula.

V2 = V1 • P1 / P2

V2 = 3 × 101325 / 1333.22

V2 = 288 litros

Entonces, el volumen final es de 288 litros

A box is being moved with a velocity (v) by a force P (parallel to v) along a level horizontal floor. The normal force is (Fn),

labwork [276]

Answer:

Force (P) : Positive

Normal Force (Fn) : Zero

Weight (mg) : Zero

Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) : Negative

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by the following formula:

W = F.d

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done

f = Force Applied

d = displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement

FOR FORCE (P):

Since, force P is parallel to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 0°

Hence,

W = P d Cos 0°

W = P d(1)

W = Pd

Therefore, work done by force (P) is Positive.

FOR NORMAL FORCE (Fn) AND WEIGHT (W):

Since, normal force and weight are perpendicular to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 90°

Hence,

W = Fn d Cos 90°= mg d Cos 90°

W = Fn d(0) = mg d (0)

W = 0

Therefore, work done by Normal Force (Fn) and Weight (mg) is Zero.

FOR KINETIC FRICTIONAL FORCE (fk):

Since, kinetic frictional force acts in the opposite direction of motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 180°

Hence,

W = fk d Cos 180°

W = fk d(-1)

W = -fk d

Therefore, work done by Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) is Negative.

How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.

The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

$\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}$

where

Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil

Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

- Step-up transformers: these have $N_s > N_p$ , so that $V_s > V_p$ , which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.

- Step-down transformers: these have $N_s < N_p$ , so that $V_s < V_p$ , which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)
