They are in free fall. In a vacuum, gravity causes all objects to fall at the same rate, and since they all are falling together. The astronauts and other objects appear to float when compared with the spacecraft.

Which state of matter has atomic spacing that is close together and definite shape? gas liquid solid plasma none of the above
den301095 [7]

Answer: solid

Explanation:In a solid, the atoms are closely packed and hence are close together. This results in a definite pattern of packing and a definite shape. Solids have a defined shape and volume as a result of this orderly arrangement of atoms very close to each other in the solid material.

How many mL of a 4% mass/volume Mg(NO3)2 solution would contain 1.2 grams of magnesium nitrate?
Phoenix [80]
4% mass / volume :

4 g ---------> 100 mL
1.2 g ------- ? mL

V = 1.2 * 100 / 4

V = 120 / 4

V = 30 mL

A horizontal cylinder equipped with a frictionless piston contains 785 cm3 of steam at 400 K and 125 kPa pressure. A total of 83
guapka [62]

Answer:

a. 478.69 K

b. 939.43 cm^{3}

c. 19.30 J

d. 64.5J

Explanation:

From the question, we can identify the following;

V_{o} = 785cm^{3} = 0.000785 m^{3}

T_{o} = 400K

P_{o} = 125 Kpa =  125 000 Pa

Using the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where R is the molar gas constant = 8.314 m^{3}⋅Pa⋅K^{-1}⋅mol^{-1}

Thus, n = PV/RT = (125000 × 0.000785)/(8.314 × 400) = 0.03 mol

a. Steam temperature in K

To calculate this, we use the constant pressure process;

q = nΔH

Where q is 83.8J according to the question

Thus;

83.8 = 0.03 × [34980 + 35.5T_{1} - (34980 + 35.5T_{o})]

83.8 = (0.03 × 35.5) (T_{1} - 400K)

83.8 = 1.065 (T_{1}  - 400)

78.69 = (T_{1}  - 400)

T_{1} = 400 + 78.69

T_{1}  = 478.69 K

b. Final cylinder volume

To calculate this, we make use of the Charles' law(Temperature and pressure are directly proportional)

V_{1}/T_{1} = V_{o}/T_{o}

V_{1}  =  V_{o}T_{1}/T_{o}

V_{1}   = (785 × 478.69)/400

V_{1}   = 939.43 cm^{3}

c. Work done by the system

Mathematically, the work done by the system is calculated as follows;

w = P(V_{1}- V_{o}) = 125 KPa ( 939.43 - 785) = 19.30 J

d. Change in internal energy of the steam in J

ΔU = q - w = 83.8 - 19.3 = 64.5J
