A weather balloon is inflated with 0.80 m3 of helium (He) at ground level (pressure is 1.0 atm). The balloon is released and ris

es into the air. What is the atmospheric pressure when the gas in the balloon expands to a volume of 3.32 m3?

Answer: 0.24 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 1.0 atm

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = $0.80 m^3$

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas= ?

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = $3.32m^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.0\times 0.80m^3=P_2\times 3.32m^3$

$P_2=0.24atm$

Thus the atmospheric pressure of the gas is 0.24 atm

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Explanation:

The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.

A rock is thrown upward from the level ground in such a way that the maximum height of its flight is equal to its horizontal ran

marshall27 [118]

Answer

a) For the rock

$\dfrac{v_t^2sin 2\theta}{g} = \dfrac{v_t^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$2sin\thetacos\theta = \dfrac{sin^2\theta}{2}$

$2cos\theta = \dfrac{sin\theta}{2}$

$tan\theta = 4$

$\theta = tan^{-1} 4$

$\theta = 76^0$

b) $\theta = 45^0$ for maximum range

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{(v_tcos 45^0)(2v_tsin 45^0)g}{(v_tcos 76^0)(2v_tsin 76^0)g}$

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{0.707\times 0.707)}{0.97\times 0.242}$

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=2.129$

$d_{max}=2.129 d$

c) The value of θ is the same on every planet as g divides out.

Aluminum oxide can be produced during rocket launches. Show that the sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equ

Triss [41]

Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2. What will the acceleration be if: a) The

Liula [17]

What you need to know is that the force is

F=ma

The force is the product of mass and acceleration

this means that the acceleration is

a=F/m

a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be $\frac{F}{2}$ now:

a= $\frac{F}{2m}$

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)

b) The object's mass is halved?
a= $\frac{F}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{F2}{m}$

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double

c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have

a= $\frac{F/2}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{2F}{2m}$ =a= $\frac{F}{m}$

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!

How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?

san4es73 [151]

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

   (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

   = (55 x 231 / 1728) ft³

   = 7.352 cubic feet (rounded)
