Answer:

P1 = 240 kPa.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 0.3 m³

Final volume, V2 = 0.9 m³

Final pressure, P2 = 80 kPa

To find the initial pressure, we would use Boyle's law;

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by the formula;

PV = K

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

P_{1} * 0.3 = 80 * 0.9

0.3P_{1} = 72

P_{1} = \frac {72}{0.3}

P_{1} = 240

Therefore, the initial pressure of the gas is 240 kPa

A 250 kg car has 6875 kg•m/s of momentum. What is it’s velocity?
liraira [26]

Answer:

v = 27.5 m/s

Explanation:

p = m × v

6,875 = 250 × v

250v = 6,875

v = 6,875/250

v = 27.5 m/s

The half-life of a certain isotope is 15 minutes. How much of a 400 g sample will remain after 90 minutes?12.5 g6.25 g26.7 g66.7
Virty [35]

There is a total of 6 half lives that need to take place.


ONE HALF LIFE = 200

TWO HALF LIFES = 100

THREE HALF LIFES  = 50

FOUR HALF LIFES = 25

FIVE HALF LIFES = 12.5

SIX HALF LIFES = 6.25


The answer is 6.25g

When parts of your body functions as lever systems, what part supplies the force?
mylen [45]
Muscles supply the force.  They exert force by getting shorter (contracting).
A muscle can't get longer by itself.  There needs to be another muscle
pulling in the opposite direction.

A proposed space elevator would consist of a cable stretching from the earth's surface to a satellite, orbiting far in space, th
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The escape speed for the craft is 1.49 m/s.

Explanation:

In this case we need to find the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 56,000 km. The escape velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{d}}

Here,

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of earth

d = r + h, r is radius of Earth

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{(6,371 \times 10^3\times 56000\times 10^3)}}\\\\v=1.49\ m/s

So, the escape speed for the craft is 1.49 m/s.

The apple is on the tree and it is not moving. What are the two types of forces acting
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

An apple hanging on a tree is acted upon by two basic forces: 1) the downward force exerted by the gravity force and, 2) the upward force exerted by the tree limb. The downward gravity force is also know as "weight".
