Explain the following observations:

Physics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

A 24 liter tank contains ideal helium gas at 27 degrees C anda pressure of 22 atm. How many moles of gas are in the tank?
frozen [14]

Answer:

d)21.5 moles

Explanation:

Given that

L = 24 L

T = 27 °C = 300 K

P = 22 atm

We know that ideal gas equation

P V = n R T

P=Pressure ,V= Volume ,n=Moles ,R=Universal gas constant ,T=Temperature

Now by putting the values

22 x 24 = n x 0.08206 x 300

n= 21.447 moles

n= 21.5 moles

Therefore the number of moles will be 21.5 moles.

The answer is "d".

What is the wavelength associated with 0.113kg ball traveling with velocity of 43 m/s?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2.73×10¯³⁴ m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 0.113 Kg

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Wavelength (λ) =?

Next, we shall determine the energy of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.113 Kg

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½m²

E = ½ × 0.113 × 43²

E = 0.0565 × 1849

E = 104.4685 J

Next, we shall determine the frequency. This can be obtained as follow:

Energy (E) = 104.4685 J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Frequency (f) =?

E = hf

104.4685 = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × f

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 104.4685 / 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 15.76×10³⁴ Hz

Finally, we shall determine the wavelength of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Frequency (f) = 15.76×10³⁴ Hz

Wavelength (λ) =?

v = λf

43 = λ × 15.76×10³⁴

Divide both side by 15.76×10³⁴

λ = 43 / 15.76×10³⁴

λ = 2.73×10¯³⁴ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the ball is 2.73×10¯³⁴ m.

The following is an example of a physical or a chemical change?? Alex made a beautiful origami swan out of a blue sheet of paper
REY [17]
Pretty sure physical, a chemical change would be something of the time of acid rain, meanwhile physical changes are the ones that affect the form not the actual chemical composition
