Great question!

Thunder and lightning happen at the same time, but because light travels faster than sound, we see lightning before we hear thunder.

Because the light from it travels to you about 874 thousand times
as fast as the sound does, so the hearing part falls behind the seeing
part.

0.16 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 70 cm^3 container at 30°C. The gas then undergoes an isothermal expansion to a
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of argon = 0.16 mol

Initial volume = 70 cm³

Angle = 30°C

Final volume = 400 cm³

We need to calculate the initial pressure of gas

Using equation of ideal gas

PV=nRT

P_{i}=\dfrac{nRT}{V}

Where, P = pressure

R = gas constant

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

P_{i}=\dfrac{0.16\times8.314\times(30+273)}{70\times10^{-6}}

P_{i}=5.75\times10^{6}\ Pa

P_{i}=56.827\ atm

We need to calculate the final temperature

Using relation pressure and volume

P_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}

P_{2}=\dfrac{56.827\times70}{400}

P_{2}=9.94\ atm

Hence, The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

Robert has just bought a new model roket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
rewona [7]
At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero) and that is calculated as mgh So Energy given to rocket = mgh Energy expended by engine = F x D (D= height where engine stops) Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values. please if this helped mark it as the brainiest answer.

Tarzan swings on a 26.2 m long vine initially inclined at an angle of 28° from the vertical. (a) What is his speed at the bottom
Marianna [84]

Answer

given,

length of the swing = 26.2 m

inclined at an angle = 28°

let, the initial height of the Tarzan be h

h = L (1 - cos θ)

a) initial velocity v₁ = 0 m/s

   final velocity of Tarzan = v_f

law of conservation of energy

  PE_i + KE_i = PE_f + KE_f

mgh_i + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2= mgh_f + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

       mgh_i + 0 = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

          mgh_i = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

             v_f = \sqrt{2gh_i}

                   = \sqrt{2gL(1- cos\theta)}

                   = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 26.2(1- cos 28^0)}

                          = 7.75 m/s

the speed tarzan at the bottom of the swing

v_f = 7.75 m/s

b)initial speed of the  = 3 m/s

mgh_i + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2= mgh_f + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

       mgh_i + 0 = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

          mgh_i+ \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

          gh_i+ \dfrac{1}{2}v_i^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}v_f^2

             v_f = \sqrt{v_1^2+2gh_i}

             v_f = \sqrt{3^2+2\times 9.8 \times (1- cos 28^0)}

                       v_f= 11.29 m/s

Vapor pressure is related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the _____. i
iVinArrow [24]

Answer

-Directly;  outside air pressure

Vapor pressure is directly related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

Explanation;

-As the temperature of a system increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases in both the liquid and gas phases.

-A higher average kinetic energy facilitates the escape of molecules from the liquid phase into the gas phase. At the same time, the rate of return of gas phase molecules to the liquid also increases. A new equilibrium point is reached at a higher gaseous vapor pressure. The increase in vapor pressure with temperature is exponential.
