If objects with a greater mass have greater gravitational pull, why is our solar

Answer:

It's too far away

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, gravitational pull is inversely proportional to the distance squared; as the distance increases, the gravitational pull decreases at a faster and faster rate. Since Alpha Centauri A is a few lightyears (Tens of trillions of kilometers away), without even needing to calculate the force of gravity, it is very miniscule.

The temperature is -14°C the air pressure in an automobile tire is 149K PA if the volume does not change what is the pressure af

Jet001 [13]

Answer: The pressure after the tire is heated to 17.3°C is 167 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

$P_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$P_1=149kPa\\T_1=-14^0C=(273-14)=259K\\P_2=?=27.5psi\\T_2=17.3^0C=(273+17.3)=290.3K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{149}{259}=\frac{P_2}{290.3}\\\\P_2=167kPa$

Hence, the pressure after the tire is heated to 17.3°C is 167 kPa

A new grill has a mass of 30.0 kg. you put 1.5 kg of charcoal in the grill. you burn all the charcoal and the grill has a mass o

atroni [7]

The reaction for burning of charcoal or complete combustion is as follows:

$C(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g)$

From the above balanced reaction, 1 mole of carbon releases 1 mole of $CO_{2}$ gas.

Converting mass of charcoal into moles as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Molar mass of pure carbon is 12 g/mol thus,

$n=\frac{1.5\times 10^{3} g}{12 g/mol}=125mol$

The same moles of $CO_{2}$ is released. Converting these moles into mass as follows:

m=n×M

Molar mass of $CO_{2}$ is 44 g/mol thus,

$m=125mol\times 44 g/mol=5.5\times 10^{3}g$

Converting mass into kg,

$1g=10^{-3}kg$

Thus, total mass of gas released is 5.5 kg.
