Answer:

Explanation:

Commonly area is a scalar quantity because there is no need of direction to define and also follow the algebrac summation. When we talk about vector there exist a frame of reference with a certain orogin

A hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north. In what direction is her resulting displacement?a. northb. westc. northwest

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Assuming that the hiker starts walking from the origin O as shown in the figure.

First, he walks 200 m west to point A (say), then he walks 100 m north to the final point B (say) as shown in the figure.

The final point B is in the north-west direction, therefore, the resulting point is in the north-west direction.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Compressed gases aren't ideal. Let's consider a gas that's non-ideal only because the volume available to each of the N molecule

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

8563732.58906 Pa

3992793.23326 Pa

5708.00923 J

Explanation:

V = Volume

N = Number of molecules = $3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}$

T = Temperature = 300 K

b = $7\times 10^{-29}\ m^3$

$k_$ = Boltzmann constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}\ J/K$

P = Pressure

We have the equation

$P(V-Nb)=NkT\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{NkT}{V-Nb}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300}{0.001-3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 7\times 10^{-29}}\\\Rightarrow P=8563732.58906\ Pa$

The pressure is 8563732.58906 Pa

For isothermal expansion

$P_1(V_1-Nb)=P_2(V_2-Nb)\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{P_1(V_1-Nb)}{V_2-Nb}\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{8563732.58906(0.001-3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 7\times 10^{-29})}{0.002-3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 7\times 10^{-29}}\\\Rightarrow P_2=3992793.23326\ Pa$

The pressure is 3992793.23326 Pa

Work done is given by

$dw=Pdv\\\Rightarrow W=\int_{v_1}^{v_2}\dfrac{NkT}{V-Nb}dv\\\Rightarrow W=NkTln\dfrac{V_2-Nb}{V_1-Nb}\\\Rightarrow W=3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300ln\dfrac{0.002-3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 7\times 10^{-29}}{0.001-3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 7\times 10^{-29}}\\\Rightarrow W=5708.00923\ J$

The work done is 5708.00923 J

Suppose that the process were repeated, except that in step 3 a neutral acrylic rod instead of a finger is used to touch the ele

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total charge does not change since the system is isolated

Explanation:

When the electroscope is touched with an acrylic rod, some charges are transferred from the electroscope to the rod, until the charge in both is equal.

In the case it know when the electroscope is touched with a finger, two things can happen.

- The body is isolated from the ground, the efective charge is redistributed between the two bodies. Case similar to insulating rod

- The body is connected to ground, the charge is transferred to the finger and from here to the ground until the total charge is transferred and the Earth and the final charge of the electroscope is zero.

Let's review the final statements

a) False, when part of the load is touched, it passes to the rod, so when it separates it does not return to the initial load

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total load does not change since the system is isolated

d) False. The value of the load changes =, but its sign does not
