20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volu

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. $V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches$

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

$P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i}$ (1)

$P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f}$ (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because $T_{i}=T_{f}$ , $n_{i}=n_{f}$ and R is an universal constant:

$P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}$ , solving for $V_{f}$

$V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}$

$V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches$

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω. The material constant, β, for this therm

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

the thermistor temperature = $325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

Explanation:

Given that:

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω.

i.e Temperature

$T_1 = 100^0C\\T_1 = (100+273)K\\\\T_1 = 373\ K$

Resistance of the thermistor $R_1 =$ 20,000 ohms

Material constant $\beta$ = 3650

Resistance of the thermistor $R_2$ = 500 ohms

Using the equation :

$R_1 = R_2 \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{R_1}{ R_2} = \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

Taking log of both sides

$In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = In \ \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = {\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}} = (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{1}{T_2} = \frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}}$

${T_2} = \frac{\beta T_1}{\beta - In (\frac{R_1}{R_2})T}$

Replacing our values into the above equation :

${T_2} = \frac{3650*373}{3650 - In (\frac{20000}{500})373}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{3650 - 3.6888*373}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{3650 - 1375.92}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{2274.08}$

${T_2} = 598.68 \ K$

${T_2} = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

Thus, the thermistor temperature = $325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

What is not an essential part of isolated soldier guidance

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Option B, visual sightings

Explanation:

Options for the question are

A) accountability mechanism

B) visual sightings

C) intelligence

D) surveillance

E) reconnaissance operations, or communications

Solutions

The Fundamentals of Army Personnel Recovery (PR) outlines certain circumstances under which a person has to undergo survival situation thereby taking the necessary steps to avoid capture and return safely to their respective unit.

An isolated soldier is expected to know where they are, upcoming route and rally points. They are supposed to know the near and far recognition signals, recovery site protocols, challenge and password etc. A proper preparation is to be done for this including planning, medicines, kits, etc.

Visual sightings is not an essential part of isolated PR

Hence, option B is correct
