Answer: $85.46\ kJ$

Explanation:

Given

Volume of air $V=105\ m^3$

Temperature of air $T=305\ K$

Increase in temperature $\Delta T=0.7^{\circ}C$

Specific heat for diatomic gas is $C_p=\dfrac{7R}{2}$

Energy required to increase the temperature is

$\Rightarrow Q=nC_pdT\\\\\Rightarrow Q=n\times \dfrac{7R}{2}\times \Delta T\\\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{7}{2}nR\Delta T\\\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{7}{2}\times \dfrac{PV}{T}\times \Delta T\quad [\text{using PV=nRT}]$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{7}{2}\times \dfrac{1.01325\times 10^5\times 105}{305}\times 0.7\\ \text{Assuming air pressure to be atmospheric P=}1.01325\times 10^5\ N/m^2\\\\\Rightarrow Q=0.8546\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow Q=85.46\ kJ$

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 54.0 mm in height and 55.0 mm in diameter. what is the density of the material

denis-greek [22]

The radius of the cylinder is equal to half the diameter:

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{55.0 mm}{2}=27.5 mm$

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

$V=\pi r^2 h=\pi (27.5 mm)^2 (54.0 mm)=1.28 \cdot 10^5 mm^3$

where h is the heigth of the cylinder. Converting into meters,

$V=1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

And the density of the material will be given by the ratio between the mass and the volume:

$d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{1 kg}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3}=7812.5 kg/m^3$

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow

Naya [18.7K]

"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way.

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down. It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move. The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her. If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a group of forces that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

kow [346]

Before the engines fail, the rocket's altitude at time t is given by

$y_1(t)=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2$

and its velocity is

$v_1(t)=80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t$

The rocket then reaches an altitude of 1150 m at time t such that

$1150\,\mathrm m=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2$

Solve for t to find this time to be

$t=11.2\,\mathrm s$

At this time, the rocket attains a velocity of

$v_1(11.2\,\mathrm s)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

When it's in freefall, the rocket's altitude is given by

$y_2(t)=1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and its velocity is

$v_2(t)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt$

(a) After the first 11.2 s of flight, the rocket is in the air for as long as it takes for $y_2(t)$ to reach 0:

$1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=32.6\,\mathrm s$

So the rocket is in motion for a total of 11.2 s + 32.6 s = 43.4 s.

(b) Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y$

where $v_f$ and $v_i$ denote final and initial velocities, respecitively, $a$ denotes acceleration, and $\Delta y$ the difference in altitudes over some time interval. At its maximum height, the rocket has zero velocity. After the engines fail, the rocket will keep moving upward for a little while before it starts to fall to the ground, which means $y_2$ will contain the information we need to find the maximum height.

$-\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(y_{\rm max}-1150\,\mathrm m)$

Solve for $y_{\rm max}$ and we find that the rocket reaches a maximum altitude of about 1930 m.

(c) In part (a), we found the time it takes for the rocket to hit the ground (relative to $y_2(t)$ ) to be about 32.6 s. Plug this into $v_2(t)$ to find the velocity before it crashes:

$v_2(32.6\,\mathrm s)=-196\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

That is, the rocket has a velocity of 196 m/s in the downward direction as it hits the ground.

Skin is the main barrier between internal organs and the outside environment. The outer layer of skin is composed mostly of epit

vagabundo [1.1K]

The characteristic of epithelial cells that makes them ideal for providing this type of protection is that the cells are packed tightly together.
Skin, the body's largest organ,is our first and best defense against external aggressors. The many layers work hard to protect us, however when its condition is compromised, its ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired.
