Why is temperature scalar?

1 answer:

3 0

Temperature is just a measure of how HOT or COLD a substance is, which can be easily defined by a magnitude using a numerical value say “300 K” or “27°C”. Hence we can say it is a scalar quantity.

But the energy which transfer by virtue of a temperature difference is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction of motion (from High temperature to low temperature region).

A runner traveling with an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s accelerates at a constant rate of 0.8 m/s2fora time of 2.0 s.(a).What is

pychu [463]

Answer:

The final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is 2.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the runner, u = 1.1 m/s

constant acceleration, a = 0.8 m/s²

time of motion, t = 2.0 s

The velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is calculate as;

$v = u + at$

where;

v is the final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time;

v = 1.1 + (0.8)(2)

v = 2.7 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is 2.7 m/s.

A container with volume 1.64 L is initially evacuated. Then it is filled with 0.226 g of N2N

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

0.015 atm

Explanation:

The pressure of the gas can be calculated using Ideal Gas Law:

$p = \frac{nRT}{V}$

Where:

n: is the number of moles of the gas

R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)

V: is the volume of the container = 1.64 L

T: is the temperature

We need to find the number of moles and the temperature. The number of moles is:

$n = \frac{m}{M}$

Where:

M: is the molar mass of the N₂ = 14.007 g/mol*2 = 28.014 g/mol

m: is the mass of the gas = 0.226 g

$n = \frac{0.226 g}{28.014 g/mol} = 8.07 \cdot 10^{-3} moles$

Now, the temperature can be found using the following equation:

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

Where:

R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/K*mol = 8.314 J/K*mol

$v_{rms}$ : is the root-mean-square speed of the gas = 182 m/s

By solving the above equation for T, we have:

$T = \frac{v_{rms}^{2}*M}{3R} = \frac{(182 m/s)^{2}*28.014 \cdot 10^{-3} Kg/mol}{3*8.314 J K^{-1}mol^{-1}} = 37.20 K$

Finally, we can find the pressure of the gas:

$p = \frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{8.07 \cdot 10^{-3} mol*0.082 L*atm* K^{-1}*mol^{-1}*37.20 K}{1.64 L} = 0.015 atm$

Therefore, the pressure of the gas is 0.015 atm.

I hope it helps you!

In a particular run of the “Archimedes principle” experiment a particular unknown substance is found to have a “dry mass” of 4.5

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

D = 18000 kg/m3

V = 2.5*10{-7}m3

Explanation:

From the Archimedes principle,

Weight of fluid displaced = W_{air} - W_{water}

W_{air} = 4.5 gm

W_{water} = 4.25 gm

$W = [4.5 - 4.25]*9.81*10^{-3}$

W = 2.4525*10{-3} N

$\frac{density\ of\ object}{density\ of\ fluid} = \frac{weight\ in\ air}{weight\ of\ displaced\ fluid}$

$Density\ of\ object = \frac{D_{water}*Weight\ in\ air}{weight\ of\ displaced\ water}$

$D = \frac{1000*4.5*10^{-3}*9.8}{2.4525*10^{-3}}N$

D = 18000 kg/m3

b) object Volume can be obtained as ,

$V = \frac{m}{D} = \frac{4.5*10^{-3}}{18000}$

V = 2.5*10{-7}m3
