Answer:

Pressure

Explanation:

Let , us understand by a simple example. Let us apply some force into a needle into a cardboard what we observe , we saw that the needle get into the cardboard.

Now we will apply the same force with a water bottle into the same cardboard , now we noticed that it doesn't get buried into it.

In both examples we noticed that force applied in both the cases is equal but the surface area of the object in which force applied is different.

Here come the term pressure.

Pressure is defined as force applied per unit area.

Therefore , as area increases pressure also decreases . That's why bottle don't get buried but needle go through it.

Given the position vector of the particle

Natali [406]

With position vector

$\vec r(t)=(t+1)\,\vec\imath+(t^2-1)\,\vec\jmath+2t\,vec k$

the particle then has velocity

$\vec v(t)=\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}=\vec\imath+2t\,\vec\jmath+2\,vec k$

and acceleration

$\vec a(t)=\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec v(t)}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\mathrm d^2\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=2\,\vec\jmath$

Then $t=1$ , then particle's velocity and acceleration are, respectively,

$\vec v=\vec\imath+2\vec\jmath+2\,\vec k$

and

$\vec a=2\,\vec\jmath$

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The answer is "82.2 torr"

Explanation:

moles of Xe:

$= \frac{0.06}{131.293} \\\\ =0.00045699313 \ \mol$

moles of $F_2$ :

$= \frac{0.0274}{38} \\\\= 0.00072105263\ \ mol$

moles of produced $XeF_2:$

$= 0.00024$

moles of left $Xe$ :

$= 0.00021$

Calculate the Pressure:

$= \frac{(0.08206\times 0.00024 \times 293)}{(.1)} + \frac{(0.08206\times 0.00021 \times 293)}{(.1)} \\\\= 0.10819611 \ \ atm \\\\ = 0.10819611 \times 760 \\\\ = 82.2 \ \ torr$

On one of the shelves in your physics lab is displayed an antique telescope. A sign underneath the instrument says that the tele

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The focal length fe of the eyepiece is 2.86 cm

Explanation:

Since we are given the telescope's magnification and the length of the tube, we can use the expressions

M = f_o/fe (1) and

l = f_o + fe (2)

where

M is the telescope's magnification
l is the length of the tube
fe is the focal length of the eye-piece

Rearranging equation (2) to make f_o the subject of the formula, we get

f_o = l - fe

Substituting the above equation into equation (1) we get

M = (l - fe)/fe ⇒ fe = l/(M +1)

⇒ fe = 60/(20 + 1)

⇒ fe = 2.86 cm
