Answer: Skier 1 will have more potential energy because he is higher than skier 2

Explanation: Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or height.

P.E= $m\times g\times h$

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

h= height of body

Thus if the masses of two bodies are same, the one with greater height possess greater potential energy.

It is known that the kinetics of recrystallization for some alloy obey the Avrami equation andthat the value of n in the exponen

Paul [167]

Answer:

rate of recrystallization = 4.99 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹

Explanation:

For Avrami equation:

$y = 1-e ^{(-kt^n)} \\ \\ e^{(-kt^n)} = 1-y\\ \\ -kt^n = In(1-y) \\ \\ k = \dfrac{-In(1-y)}{t^n}$

To calculate the value of k which is a dependent variable for the above equation ; we have:

$k = \dfrac{-In(1-0.40)}{200^{2.5}}$

$k = 9.030 \times 10 ^{-7}$

The time needed for 50% transformation can be determined as follows:

$y = 1-e ^{(-kt^n)} \\ \\ e^{(-kt^n)} = 1-y\\ \\ -kt^n = In(1-y) \\ \\ t =[ \dfrac{-In(1-y)}{k}]^{^{1/n}}$

$t_{0.5} =[ \dfrac{-In(1-0.4)}{9.030 \times 10^{-7}}]^{^{1/2.5}}$

= 200.00183 min

The rate of reaction for Avrami equation is:

$rate = \dfrac{1}{t_{0.5}}$

$rate = \dfrac{1}{200.00183}$

rate = 0.00499 / min

rate of recrystallization = 4.99 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹

What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air if the temperature is increased?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Air is mainly composed of N2 (78%), O2 (21%) and other trace gases. Now, the total pressure of air is the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases. The partial pressure of each gas, for example say O2, can be expressed as:

p(O2) = mole fraction of O2 * P(total, air) ----(1)

Thus, the partial pressure is directly proportional to the total pressure. If we consider a sealed container then, as the temperature of air increases so will its pressure. Based on equation (1) an increase in the pressure of air should also increase the partial pressure of oxygen.
