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

A particular 12 V car battery can send a total charge of 110 A·h (ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the othe
DiKsa [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)

Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;

=> Q = 110A·h

=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h          [1 hour = 3600 seconds]

=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s

=> Q = 396000A·s

=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C

Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;

E = Q x V           -----------------(i)

Where;

Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C

V = electric potential = 12V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12

E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J

E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J

A 4 kg bowling bowl is sitting on a table 1 meter off the ground. How much potential energy does it have?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 39.2\ Joules}

Explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Mass = m = 4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 1 m

<u>Required:</u>

Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

P.E. = mgh

<u>Solution:</u>

P.E. = (4)(9.8)(1)

P.E. = 39.2 Joules

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

The tin can with water in its bottom is heated to boil water and the steam is allowed to escape for some time. The open mouth is
Norma-Jean [14]

Explanation:

Water does expand with heat (and contract with cooling), but the amount of expansion is pretty small. So when you boil a can filled with water and seal it, the water will contract slightly as it cools. The can may kink slightly, but that will be it. Actually, most likely the only things you will be able to see is then top and bottom will be sucked in and go concave. Just like a commercial can of beans.

Now if you have a can with a little water and a big air space, things are completely different.

As the water boils, water vapour is given off. Steam. Let it boils for a minute just to make sure (nearly) all the air is expelled and the can is filled with steam.

Now when you put the lid on and cool the can, that steam condenses back to water, and goes from filling the can to a few drops of water. The can is now filled (if that is the right word) with a near vacuum, The air pressure, 15 lbs/square inch, will be pressing on every surface of the can, with nothing inside the can to resist it.

The can will crumple before your eyes.
