Answer:

The ceramic tile will stand the force of 5 N.

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the area (A) of the ceramic tile

We will use the formula for the area of a square.

A = 50 cm × 50 cm = 2500 cm²

Step 2: Convert "A" to in²

We will use the conversion factor 1 in² = 6.45 cm².

2500 cm² × 1 in²/6.45 cm² = 3.9 × 10² in²

Step 3: Calculate the pressure (P) exerted by a force (F) of 5 N

We will use the following expression.

P = F/A

P = 5 N / 3.9 × 10² in² = 0.013 N/in²

Since the pressure exerted would be less than the maximum pressure resisted (40 N/in²), the ceramic tile will stand the force of 5 N.

A gas expands at a constant pressure of 3 atm from a volume of 0.02 cubic meters to 0.10 cubic meters. In the process it experie

a) $2.4\cdot 10^4 J$

For a gas transformation occuring at a constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

$W=p(V_f -V_i)$

where

p is the gas pressure

V_f is the final volume of the gas

V_i is the initial volume

For the gas in the problem,

$p=3 atm = 3\cdot 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa = 3.039\cdot 10^5 Pa$ is the pressure

$V_i = 0.02 m^2$ is the initial volume

$V_f = 0.10 m^3$ is the final volume

Substituting,

$W=(3.039\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.10 m^3-0.02m^2)=24312 J = 2.4\cdot 10^4 J$

b) $3.24\cdot 10^5 J$

The heat absorbed by the gas can be found by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed

W is the work done

Here we have

$\Delta U = 3.0\cdot 10^5 J$

$W=2.4\cdot 10^4 J$

So we can solve the equation to find Q:

$Q=\Delta U + W = 3.0\cdot 10^5 J +2.4\cdot 10^4 J = 3.24\cdot 10^5 J$

And this process is an isobaric process (=at constant pressure).

13. What's most intriguing about Titan's atmosphere?

sineoko [7]

Answer: There is an unsolved mystery surrounding Titan's atmosphere: Because methane is broken down by sunlight, scientists believe there is another source that replenishes what is lost. One potential source of methane is volcanic activity, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Action and Reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.Then,Why do they not balance each other?

Ivan

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This indicates that forces always act in pairs. Reaction forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced forces because they act on different objects so they don't cancel each other out.

Why are stars given an absolute magnitude?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The solution was to implement an absolute magnitude scale to provide a reference between stars. To do so, astronomers calculate the brightness of stars as they would appear if it were 32.6 light-years, or 10 parsecs from Earth.
