Question:
Consider a sample of helium gas in a container fitted with a piston as pictured below. The piston is frictionless, but has a mass of 10.0 kg. How many of the following processes will cause the piston to move away from the base and decrease the pressure of the gas? Assume ideal behavior.
I. Heating the helium. II.
II. toRemoving some of the helium from the container.
III. Turning the container on its side.
IV. Decreasing the pressure outside the container.
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
e) 4
Answer:
Only one process will cause the piston to move which is
i) Heating the helium
Explanation:
When helium is heated it becomes less dense or lighter. Heating the helium will cause an increase in volume which will make the piston to move away from the base. When the volume finishes increasing, the piston will stop moving which in turn will make the forces on both sides of the piston balanced, so the pressure inside will balance the weight of the piston and that of the atmosphere. From that we can see that there has been a pressure change as a result of heating.
Your grade will probably go down to a D 68% or little higher than that
Answer:
Zero; no force is required to keep it going
Explanation:
Since the cannon ball is fired into frictionless space, there will be nothing to stop it, so it will keep going and going.
Answer:
the current in a parallel circuit is found by idk
Explanation:
Answer:
The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus.
Explanation:
The average speed of gas molecules is given by:
R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and M the molar mass of the gas.
We know that a water molecule has a mass that is 18 times that of a hydrogen atom:
So, we have:
The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus:
