Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A diver works in the sea on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas cylinder. The compressed air quickly cools to its original temperature. Calculate the pressure of the air in the cylinder.

Solution:

Boyles law states that the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas, provided that the temperature is constant.

That is:

P ∝ 1/V;   PV = constant

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Given that P₁ = initial pressure = 101 kPa, V₁ = initial volume = 1700 L, P₂ = cylinder pressure, V₂ = cylinder volume = 12 L. Hence:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

100 kPa * 1700 L = P₂ * 12 L

P₂ = (100 kPa * 1700 L) / 12 L

P₂ = 14308 kPa

2 differences between calorimeter and thermometer ?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Calorimeter is used to measure heat in and represents that in units of joules per kelvin units J/˚C or kJ/K

A calorimeter is can be used to measure the amount of heat released or involved in a chemical reaction.

Whereas thermometer can only measures temperature or hotness of a substance. It cannot be used to measure the thermal rate or amount of heat energy of a reaction. Unit measurement used by thermometer is Celsius (°C).

At a certain time a particle had a speed of 87 m/s in the positive x direction, and 6.0 s later its speed was 74 m/s in the oppo
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The average acceleration during the 6.0 s interval was -27 m/s².

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time:

a = Δv/t

Where:

a = acceleration.

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

t = elapsed time

The change in velocity will be:

Δv = final velocity - initial velocity

Δv = -74 m/s - 87 m/s = -161 m/s

(notice the negative sign of the velocity that is in opposite direction to the direction considered positive)

Then the average acceleration will be:

a = Δv/t

a = -161 m/s / 6.0 s

a = -27 m/s²

The average acceleration during the 6.0 s interval was -27 m/s².

Can we have the Doppler effect with light waves? How?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Besides sound and radio waves, the Doppler effect also affects the light emitted by other bodies in space. If a body in space is "blue shifted," its light waves are compacted and it is coming towards us. If it is "red shifted" the light waves are spread apart, and it is traveling away from us.
