Answer:

a. volume of gas:  (decreases)

b. temperature of gas:  (same)

c. internal energy of gas: (same)

d. pressure of gas: (increases)

Explanation:

We have a gas (let's suppose that is ideal) in a piston with a fixed volume V.

Then we put in a reservoir at 0°C (the mixture of water and ice)

remember that the state equation for an ideal gas is:

P*V = n*R*T

and:

U = c*n*R*T

where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of mols

R = constant

c = constant

T = temperature.

Now, we have equilibrium at T = 0°C, then we can assume that T is also a constant.

Then in the equation:

P*V = n*R*T

all the terms in the left side are constants.

P*V = constant

And knowing that:

U = c*n*R*T

then:

n*R*T = U/c

We can replace it in the other equation to get:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Now, the piston is (slowly) moving inwards, then:

a) Volume of the gas: as the piston moves inwards, the volume where the gas can be is smaller, then the volume of the gas decreases.

b) temperature of the gas: we know that the gas is a thermal equilibrium with the mixture (this happens because we are in a slow process) then the temperature of the gas does not change.

c) Internal energy of the gas:

we have:

P*V = n*R*T = constant

and:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Then:

U = c*Constant

This means that the internal energy does not change.

d) Pressure of the gas:

Here we can use the relation:

P*V = constant

then:

P = (constant)/V

Now, if V decreases, the denominator in that equation will be smaller. We know that if we decrease the value of the denominator, the value of the quotient increases.

And the quotient is equal to P.

Then if the volume decreases, we will see that the pressure increases.

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

Original momentum before the hit =

                   (0.16 kg) x (38 m/s) this way <==

               =             6.08 kg-m/s  this way <==

Momentum after the hit =

                   (0.16) x (44 m/s) that way  ==>

               =           7.04 kg-m/s  that way ==>

Change in momentum = (6.08 + 7.04) =  13.12 kg-m/s  that way ==> .
-----------------------------------------------

Change in momentum = impulse.

                                   Impulse = (force) x (time the force lasted)

                          13.12 kg-m/s  = (force) x (0.002 sec)

  (13.12 kg-m/s) / (0.002 sec)  =  Force

             6,560 kg-m/s² = 6,560 Newtons  =  Force

A point charge q1 = 3.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 10 m.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) 1.6 mN  b) -1.6 mN  c) -1.6 mN  d) 1.6 mN

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between 2 point charges, obeys the Coulomb's Law, that can be expressed as follows:

F₁₂ = k*q₁*q₂/(r₁₂)² (in magnitude)

The direction of the force, is along the  line that joins the  charges (along the x axis) and as q₁ and q₂ are of the same sign, aims away from both charges.

a) So, for the force on q₂, we have:

F₁₂ = 9*18*10⁻⁵ N = 1.6 mN (positive as it is aiming in the positive x direction)

b) The force on q1, according to Newton's 3rd Law, is just equal and opposite to the one on q2:

F₂₁ = (-9*18*10⁻⁵) N = -1.6 mN (towards the negative x direction, away from q1)

c) If q₂ were -6.0 μC, the force will be the same in magnitude, but as now both charges have different signs, they wil attract each other, so the direction of the forces will be exactly the opposite to the first case:

F₁₂ = -1.6 mN (going towards the origin, where q₁ is located)

F₂₁ =  1.6 mN (going in the positive x direction, towards q₂)

Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
