Compare and contrast an earthquake and a tsunami.

Physics
1 answer:
Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

An earthquake is a trembling movement of the earth's crust. These tremors are generally caused by shifts of the plates that make up the earth's surface. ... A tsunami (pronounced soo-NAHM-ee) is a series of huge waves that occur as the result of a violent underwater disturbance, such as an earthquake or volcanic eruption.

A mole of ideal gas expands at T=27 °C. The pressure changes from 20 atm to 1 atm. What’s the work that the gas has done and wha
Airida [17]

Answer:

  • The work made by the gas is 7475.69 joules
  • The heat absorbed is 7475.69 joules

Explanation:

<h3>Work</h3>

We know that the differential work made by the gas  its defined as:

dW =  P \ dv

We can solve this by integration:

\Delta W = \int\limits_{s_1}^{s_2}\,dW = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv

but, first, we need to find the dependence of Pressure with Volume. For this, we can use the ideal gas law

P \ V = \ n \ R \ T

P = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V}

This give us

\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V} \ dv

As n, R and T are constants

\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \ n \ R \ T \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{1}{V} \ dv

\Delta W= \ n \ R \ T  \left [ ln (V) \right ]^{v_2}_{v_1}

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln (\frac{v_2}{v_1})

But the volume is:

V = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P}

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln(\frac{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_2}}{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_1}} )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln(\frac{P_1}{P_2})

Now, lets use the value from the problem.

The temperature its:

T = 27 \° C = 300.15 \ K

The ideal gas constant:

R = 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol}

So:

\Delta W = \ 1 mol \ 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol} \ 300.15 \ K  ln (\frac{20 atm}{1 atm})

\Delta W = 7475.69 joules

<h3>Heat</h3>

We know that, for an ideal gas, the energy is:

E= c_v n R T

where c_v its the internal energy of the gas. As the temperature its constant, we know that the gas must have the energy is constant.

By the first law of thermodynamics, we know

\Delta E = \Delta Q - \Delta W

where \Delta W is the Work made by the gas (please, be careful with this sign convention, its not always the same.)

So:

\Delta E = 0

\Delta Q = \Delta W

A group of students is investigating whether the smoothness of surface affects the force of friction. Each student pushes a book
Pani-rosa [81]

To find the average (aka mean) of a group of numbers, all we need to do is add them up then divide that number by how many numbers we started with

23 + 21 + 24 + 22 = 90

90 ÷ 4 = 22.5

Therefore, the average distance the book traveled on ice is 22.5 cm

15 + 18 + 16 + 17 = 66

66 ÷ 4 = 16.5

Therefore, the average distance the book traveled on concrete is 16.5 cm

In conclusion, the average distance the book traveled on ice is greater than the average distance the book traveled on concrete

Hope this helps you

Calculate the magnitude of the force, in newtons, exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face togethe
saul85 [17]

Answer:

5437.5 N

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

mass = 7.25 kg

initial speed (u) = 10.5 \frac{m}{s}

finial velocity (v) = 0

compression (s) = -7.35 cm = -0.0735 m (the negative sign is because the face is compressed, so there is a decrease)

we know that force = mass x acceleration,  

we have our mass but need to find the acceleration. we can get the acceleration by applying the formula below

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as

therefore

0 = 10.5^{2} + (-2)× a × 0.0735[/tex]

a = \frac{10.5^{2} }{ 2 × 0.0735}[/tex]

a = 750

from F = m x a

force = 7.25 x 750 = 5437.5 N

How is force related to physics ?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

In physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (e.g. moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. ... A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newton (N).
