Answer:

Slope= $\frac{x2-x1}{t2-t1}$

Explanation:

We are supposed to find the slope in a position time graph,

For that we need atleast two points $(t1,x1),(t2,x2)$ .( $(x,y )$ represents there coordinates in respective axis directions.)

In the given case the y axis would be the position and the x axis as time .

Slope is defined as the ratio of change in y coordinate to change in x coordinate :- $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

So subsituting the coordinates of position and time we get slope as:-

$\frac{x2-x1}{t2-t1}$

[When we have more than two points which are not collinear then to calculate the slope we take the average.]

A scuba diver's tank contains 0.240 kg of o2 compressed into a volume of 3.10 l. what volume (in liters) would this oxygen occup

ohaa [14]

Given:
m = 0.240 kg = 240 g, the mass of O₂
V = 3.10 L = 3.10 x 10⁻³ m³, the volume

Because the molar mass of oxygen is 16, the number of moles of O₂ is
n = (240 g)/(2*16 g/mol) = 7.5 mol

As an ideal gas,
p*V = nRT
or
V = (nRT)/p
where R = 8.314 J/(mol-K)

When
p = 0.910 atm = (0.910 atm) * (101325Pa/atm) = 92205.75 Pa
T = 27 °C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K
then the volume is
$V= \frac{(7.5 \, mol)*(8.314 \, J/(mol-K))*(300 \, K)}{(92205.75 \, Pa)} =0.2029 \, m^{3}$

V = (0.2029 m³)*(10³ L/m³) = 202.9 L

Answer: 203 liters

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Atoms are composed of electrons (charge -1), protons (charge +1), and neutrons (no charge). So in a neutral atom the correct answer is "D".

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

n = c / v

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

v = d / t

v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

n = 1,875
