Answer:

W = 289.70 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Pressure in tank = 23 atm

Altitude 1000 ft

Air temperature  in tank T = 700 F

Volume of tank = 800 ft^3 = 22.654 m^3

from ideal gas equation we have

PV =n RT

Therefore number of mole inside the tank is

\frac{1}{n} = \frac{RT}{PV}

              = \frac{8.206\times 10^{-5}} 644.261}{23\times 22.654}

               = 1.02\times 10^{-4}

               n = 10^4 mole

we know that 1 mole of air weight is 28.97 g

therefore, tank air weight is W = 10^4\times 28.91 g = 289700 g

               W = 289.70 kg

What is the acceleration of a car that moves at a steady velocity of 100 km/h for 100 seconds? Explain your answer.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

a = 0 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

car moving at steady velocity = 100 Km/h

         1 km/h = 0.278 m/s

      100 Km/h = 27.8 m/s

time of acceleration = 100 s

acceleration is equal to change in velocity per unit time.

 a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

change in velocity of the car is 27.8 - 27.8 = 0

 a=\dfrac{0}{100}

        a = 0 m/s²

If the car is moving with steady velocity then acceleration of the car is zero.

Hence, the acceleration of the car is equal to a = 0 m/s²

Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 356 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 478
klasskru [66]

Answer:

a) 2.5 m/s²

b) 6.12 m/s

Explanation:

Tension of rope = T = 356N

Weight of material = W = 478 N

Distance from the ground = s = 7.5 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.81 m/s²

Mass of material = m = 478/9.81 = 48.72

Final velocity before the bundle hits the ground = v

Initial velocity = u = 0

Acceleration experienced by the material when being lowered = a

a) W-T = ma

⇒478-356 = 48.72×a

\Rightarrow \frac{122}{48.72} = a

⇒a = 2.5 m/s²

∴ Acceleration achieved by the material is 2.5 m/s²

b) v²-u² = 2as

⇒v²-0 = 2×2.5×7.5

⇒v² = 37.5

⇒v = 6.12 m/s

∴ Velocity of the material before hitting the ground is 6.12 m/s

Two conducting spheres of different sizes are at the same potential. The radius of the larger sphere is four times larger than t
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

The two spheres have the same potential, V.

Let the radius of the larger sphere be R and the radius of the smaller sphere be r,

=> R = 4r

Let the charge on the smaller sphere be q. Hence, the larger sphere will have charge Q - q.

The potential of the smaller sphere will be:

V_S = \frac{kq}{r}

The potential of the larger sphere will be:

V_L = \frac{k(Q - q)}{R}

Inputting R = 4r,

V_L = \frac{k(Q - q)}{4r}

Since V_S = V_L = V,

\frac{k(Q - q)}{4r} = \frac{kq}{r}

=> Q - q = 4q

=> 5q = Q

q = 0.2Q

The fraction of the charge Q that rests on the smaller sphere is 0.2

The charge of the larger sphere is:

Q - q = Q - 0.2Q = 0.8Q

∴ The fraction of the total charge Q that rests on the larger sphere is 0.8
