Amanda [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

As the pressure inside the pressure cooker increases as it is heated, the temperature also increases.

Explanation:

A pressure cooker contains water and steam in equilibrium at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.

According to the ideal gas law, as the pressure increases, the temperature also increases.

As the pressure inside the pressure cooker increases as it is heated, the temperature also increases.

A ball is swung in a horizontal circle at a constant speed. Each circle takes 0.85 seconds to complete and the rope is 0.40 m lo
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration will be "21.785 m/s²".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Time,

t = 0.85 seconds

Length of rope,

r = 0.40 m

Mass of ball,

m = 0.80 kg

As we know,

⇒ w=\frac{2 \pi}{t}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      =\frac{2\times 3.14}{0.85}

⇒      = \frac{6.28}{0.85}

⇒      =7.38 \ rad/s^2

The centripetal acceleration will be:

⇒  a=r\times w^2

⇒     =0.40\times (7.38)^2

⇒     =0.40\times 54.46

⇒     =21.785 \ m/s^2

Particles q1 = +8.0 UC, 92 = +3.5 uc, and
Olin [163]

Answer:

   F_total = 29.4 N,    directed to the right of particle 2

Explanation:

We must solve this problem in parts, first we calculate each force and then we apply Newton's law to add the forces.

Let's use Coulomb's law to calculate each force

         F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r_{12}^2}

particles 1 and 2

q₁ = 8.0 10⁻⁶ C, q₂ = 3.5 10⁻⁶ C x₁₂ = 0.10 m

         F₁₂ = 9 10⁹ 8.0 3.5 10⁻¹² / 0.1²

         F₁₂ = 2.59 10¹ N

Since the two charges are of the same sign, this force is repulsive and is directed towards the positive side of the x axis.

particles 2 and 3

q₂ = 3.6 10⁻⁶ C, q₃ = 2.5 10⁻⁶ C, x₂₃ = 0.15 m

we calculate

        F₂₃ = 9 10⁹ 3.5 2.5 10⁻¹²/ 0.15²

        F₂₃ = 3.5 N

as the charge is of different sign, the force is attractive, therefore it is directed to the right of the load 2

Now we add the forces as vectors

        F_total = ∑ F = F₁₂ + F₂₃

        F_total = 25.2 +3.5

        F_total = 29.4 N

directed to the right of particle 2

the coefficient of kinetic friction between a couch and the floor is 0.65. if the couch has a mass of 42 kg and you push it with
Anna [14]

Explanation:

The net force along the horizontal direction is

\sum{F_x} = F_{applied} - f

where f is the frictional force. We can find the frictional force by looking at the vertical forces acting on the couch:

\sum{F_y} = N - mg = 0 \Rightarrow N = mg

From the definition of frictional force,

f = \mu{N} = \mu{mg} = (0.65)(42\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)

\:\:\:\:= 267.5\:\text{N}

Therefore, the net force on the couch is

\sum{F_x} = 600\:\text{N} - 267.5\:\text{kN} = 332.5\:\text{N}

The plates of a spherical capacitor have radii 6.25 cm and 15.0 crn. The space between the two spheres is filled with a material
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Capacitance is 0.572×10⁻¹⁰ Farad

Explanation:

Radius = R₁ = 6.25 cm = 6.25×10⁻² m

Radius = R₂ = 15 cm = 15×10⁻² m

Dielectric constant = k = 4.8

Electric constant = ε₀ = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m

ε/ε₀=k

ε=kε₀

Capacitance\ (C)=\frac{4\pi k\epsilon_0 R_1\times R_2}{R_2-R_1}\\\Rightarrow C=\frac{4\pi 4.8\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 15\times 10^{-2}\times 6.25\times 10^{-2}}{15\times 10^{-2}-6.25\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow C=0.572\times 10^{-10}\ Farad

∴ Capacitance is 0.572×10⁻¹⁰ Farad
