Some gas is trapped in a large syringe by a piston.The atmospheric pressure is 100kpa.The pressure gauge indicates that the gas

pressurr is 200kpa above atmospheric pressure.The piston moves outwards and the volume of the gas doubles.The temperature remains constant.What is the new gas pressure?

Answer: The new gas pressure is 150 kPa.

Explanation :

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = (100+200) kPa = 300 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = v

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 2v

$300\times v=P_2\times 2v$

$P_2=150kPa$

Therefore, the new gas pressure is 150 kPa.

Wilma can mow a lawn in 80 minutes. Rocky can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. Construct an equation that would allow you to de

xeze [42]

Answer:

$t = 96 minutes$

Explanation:

Time to mow 1 lawn by Wilma is 80 minutes

so work done in 1 minute by Wilma is given as

$W_1 = \frac{1}{80}$

Similarly Rocky mow same lawn in 120 minute

so work done in 1 minute by Rocky is given as

$W_2 = \frac{1}{120}$

now we know that they both worked by "t" time

so total work performed by them

$W = \frac{t}{80} + \frac{t}{120}$

they both mow 2 lawns then it is given as

$2 = (\frac{1}{80} + \frac{1}{120})t$

$t = 96 minutes$

A ball is tossed with enough speed straight up so that it is in the air several seconds. (a) What is the velocity of the ball wh

irina1246 [14]

(a) Zero

When the ball reaches its highest point, the direction of motion of the ball reverses (from upward to downward). This means that the velocity is changing sign: this also means that at that moment, the velocity must be zero.

This can be also understood in terms of conservation of energy: when the ball is tossed up, initially it has kinetic energy

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m is the ball's mass and v is the initial speed. As it goes up, this kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, and when the ball reaches the highest point, all the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy:

$U=mgh$

where g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the ball at highest point. At that point, therefore, the potential energy is maximum, while the kinetic energy is zero, and so the velocity is also zero.

(b) 9.8 m/s upward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s before reaching its highest point by using the equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, which is negative since it points downward

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u is the initial velocity

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for u, we find

$u=v-at = 0 -(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= +9.8 m/s$

and the positive sign means it points upward.

(c) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u = 9.8 m/s is the initial velocity

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = 0 - (+9.8 m/s)=-9.8 m/s$

(d) 9.8 m/s downward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s after reaching its highest point by using again the equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where this time we have

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, still negative

v is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for v, we find

$v = u+at = 0 +(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= -9.8 m/s$

and the negative sign means it points downward.

(e) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where here we have

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - 0=-9.8 m/s$

(f) -19.6 m/s

The change in velocity during the overall 2-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where in this case we have:

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = +9.8 m/s is the initial velocity (1 s before reaching the highest point)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - (+9.8 m/s)=-19.6 m/s$

(g) -9.8 m/s^2

There is always one force acting on the ball during the motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the ball

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration (a), so

$mg = ma$

which means that the acceleration is

$a= g = -9.8 m/s^2$

and the negative sign means it points downward.

If an atom has an atomic number of 2, it will be stable with 2 electrons in its valence shell. Group of answer choices True Fals

torisob [31]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or the number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of protons = number of electrons = 2

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electronic configuration will be $1s^2$

As its duplet is already complete and it has noble gas configuration , it is stable with 2 valence electrons.
