Answer:

0.444atm

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (

P2 = final pressure (

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question,

P1 = 101.3 kPa = 101.3 × 0.00987 = 0.999atm

P2 = ?

V1 = 80L

V2 = 160L (double of V1)

T1 = 34°C = 34 + 273 = 307K

T2 = 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273K

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

0.999 × 80/307 = P2 × 160/273

79.92/307 = 160P2/273

Cross multiply

307 × 160P2 = 79.92 × 273

49120P2 = 21818.16

P2 = 21818.16 ÷ 49120

P2 = 0.444

P2 = 0.444atm

A system dissipates 12 J of heat into the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the
Stels [109]

Answer:

+16 J

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change of the internal energy of the system

Q is the heat (positive if supplied to the system, negative if dissipated by the system)

W is the work done (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surroundings on the system)

In this case we have:

Q = -12 J is the heat dissipated by the system

W = -28 J is the work done ON the system

Substituting into the equation, we find the change in internal energy of the system:

\Delta U=-12 J-(-28 J)=+16 J

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:C.The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation: Power lines are mainly overhead power installation that transfer electric energy from one place to another. Electric power lines contains both Magnetic field and Electric field.

Potential difference is the change in the amount of energy carried by an electric circuit from one point to another. TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE END OF THE TUBE AND ANOTHER? THE TUBE SHOULD BE HELD VERTICALLY,PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND.

Resistance is the ratio of
 
         (voltage between two points in the circuit)
divided by

What is the speed of a cyclist that rides west 88 km in 32 minutes?
suter [353]

Answer:

The speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

Explanation:

Given

  • The distance d = 88 km
  • Time t = 32 minutes

To determine

We need to find the speed of a cyclist.

In order to determine the speed of a cyclist, all we need to do is to divide the distance covered by a cyclist by the time taken to cover the distance.

Using the formula involving speed, time, and distance

s=\frac{d}{t}

where

  • s = speed
  • d = distance covered
  • t = time taken

substitute d = 88, and t = 32 in the formula

s=\frac{d}{t}

s=\frac{88}{32}

Cancel the common factor 8

s=\frac{11}{4}

s=2.75 km/min

Therefore, the speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

A child is perched perilously above a 150m ravine. The child has a mass of 45kg. How much
Finger [1]

Answer:

<em>U = 66,150 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8\ m/s^2.

The child of mass m=45 Kg is perched above a h=150 m ravine. His gravitational potential energy is:

U=45~Kg\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2\cdot 150\ m

U = 66,150 J
