Answer:

(A) P_i=3249.41\ Pa

(B) V_f=0.3358\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • diameter of the cylinder, d= 0.24\ m
  • mass of piston sealing on the top, m_p=15\ kg
  • initial temperature of the piston, T_i=315+273= 588\ K
  • initial height of piston, h_i=0.9\ m
  • atmospheric pressure on the piston, p_a=1 atm=101325\ Pa

(A)

<u>Initial pressure of gas is the pressure balanced by the weight of piston:</u>

P_i=\frac{m_p.g}{\pi.d^2\div 4}

P_i=\frac{15\times 9.8}{\pi\times (0.24^2\div 4)}

P_i=3249.41\ Pa

<em>Which is gauge pressure because it is measured with respect to the atmospheric pressure.</em>

(B)

Given:

  • Final temperature, T_f=18+273=291\ K

<u>Now, volume of air initially in the cylinder:</u>

V_i=\pi.d.h_i

V_i=\pi\times 0.24\times 0.9

V_i=0.6786\ m^3

Using gas law:

\frac{P_i V_i}{T_i}= \frac{P_f V_f}{T_f} ........................................(1)

<em>∵In every condition of equilibrium the gas pressure will be balanced by the weight of the piston so it is an </em><em>isobaric transition</em><em>.</em>

∴P_i=P_f

<u>Hence eq. (1) is reduced to:</u>

\frac{V_i}{T_i}= \frac{V_f}{T_f}

putting respective values:

\frac{0.6786}{588}= \frac{V_f}{291}

V_f=0.3358\ m

A 12.0 g bullet was fired horizontally into a 1 kg block of wood. The bullet initially had a speed of 250 m/s. The block of wood
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The rise in height of combined block/bullet from its original position is 0.45m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 12 g = 0.012 kg

mass of block of wood, m₂ = 1 kg

initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 250 m/s.

initial speed of block of wood, u₂ = 0

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, calculate the final speed of the combined block/bullet system.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

where;

v is the final speed of the combined block/bullet system.

0.012 x 250 + 0 = v (0.012 + 1)

3 = v (1.012)

v = 3/1.012

v = 2.96 m/s

From the principle of conservation of energy, calculate the rise in height of the block/bullet combined from its original position.

¹/₂mv² = mgh

¹/₂v² = gh

¹/₂ (2.96)² = (9.8)h

4.3808 = 9.8h

h = 4.3808/9.8

h = 0.45 m

Therefore, the rise in height of combined block/bullet from its original position is 0.45m

iren2701 [21]

The  best represent the size of visible light will be C. Protozoa

The electromagnetic spectrum, gives the overall distribution of electromagnetic radiation by the  frequency or wavelength. All EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but over a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.

Visible light wavelengths cover the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.7 μm. electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see is the Visible light. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, along with radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves. the wavelengths that are visible to most human eyes is generally known as Visible light
