Answer:

A wave model of light is useful for explaining brightness,color, and the frequency-dependent bending of light at a surface between media. However, because light can travel through space, it cannot be a matter wave, like sound or water waves.

What renewable source of energy would be suited to chicago IL?

Kay [80]

Answer:

Wind is the primary renewable resource used for electric power generation in the state. In 2019, wind provided 97% of the state's renewable energy generation, and Illinois was sixth in the nation in utility-scale (1 megawatt or greater) wind capacity, with about 5,200 megawatts online.

Prove dimensionally that: PV=RT

Oduvanchick [21]

Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT

THE GASEOUS STATE
Pressure  atm
Volume  liters
n  moles
R  L atm mol^-1 K^-1
Temperature  Kelvin

pv = rt

divide both sides by v
pv/v = rt/v

p = rt/v

answer: p = rt/v

Ideal Gas Law: Density

PV = NRT
PV = mass/(mw)RT

mass/V = P (MW)/RT = density

Molar Mass:
Ideal Gas Law PV = NRT
PV = mass/(MW) RT
MW = mass * RT/PV

Measures of Gases:
Daltons Law of Partial Pressures; is the total pressure of a mixture of gases equals the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

Total = P_ A + P_ B

P_ A V = n_ A RT

P_ B V = n_ B R T

Partial Pressures in Gas Mixtures:
P_ total = P_ A + P_ B
P_ A = n_ A RT/V P_ B = n_ B RTV

P_ total = P_ A + P_ B = n_ total RT/V

For Ideal Gasses:

P_ A = n_ A RT/V P_ total = n_ toatal RT/V

P_ A/P_ total = n_ A RTV/n_ total RTV

= n_ A/n_ total = X_ A

Therefore, P_ A = X_ A P_ total.

PV = nRT

P pressure

V volume

n Number of moles

R Gas Constant

T temperture (Kelvin.).

Hope that helps!!!!!! Have a great day : )

A spring of constant 20 N/m has compressed a distance 8 m by a(n) 0.3 kg mass, then released. It skids over a frictional surface

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

$X_2=25.27m$

Explanation:

Here we will call:

1. $E_1$ : The energy when the first spring is compress

2. $E_2$ : The energy after the mass is liberated by the spring

3. $E_3$ : The energy before the second string catch the mass

4. $E_4$ : The energy when the second sping compressed

so, the law of the conservations of energy says that:

1. $E_1 = E_2$

2. $E_2 -E_3= W_f$

3. $E_3 = E_4$

where $W_f$ is the work of the friction.

1. equation 1 is equal to:

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}MV_2^2$

where K is the constant of the spring, x is the distance compressed, M is the mass and $V_2$ the velocity, so:

$\frac{1}{2}(20)(8)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.3)V_2^2$

Solving for velocity, we get:

$V_2$ = 65.319 m/s

2. Now, equation 2 is equal to:

$\frac{1}{2}MV_2^2-\frac{1}{2}MV_3^2 = U_kNd$

where M is the mass, $V_2$ the velocity in the situation 2, $V_3$ is the velocity in the situation 3, $U_k$ is the coefficient of the friction, N the normal force and d the distance, so:
