From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature.
Therefore; P1V1 =P2V2; where PV is a constant
hence; 12 × 6 = 3× p2
p2 = 72/3
= 24 atm
Therefore; the new pressure will be 24 atm

Peter’s body supplies a force of 500 N to run up a 10-m hill in 10 s. How much power is involved in Peter’s run up the hill? Exp

shutvik [7]

Answer: 500 Watts

Explanation:

Power $P$ is the speed with which work $W$ is done. Its unit is Watts ( $W$ ), being $1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}$ .

Power is mathematically expressed as:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$ (1)

Where $t$ is the time during which work $W$ is performed.

On the other hand, the Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path. It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter ( $1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm$ ).

When the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$ (2)

In this case, we have the following data:

$F=500 N$

$d=10 m$

$t=10 s$

So, let's calculate the work done by Peter and then find how much power is involved:

From (2):

$W=(500 N)(10 m)$ (3)

$W=5000 J$ (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

$P=\frac{5000 J}{10 s}$ (5)

Finally:

$P=500 W$

Answer:

The given figure shows two men M and N facing two flat and hard walls, wall 1 and wall 2. Man N fires a gun. Man M hears two echoes, one from wall 1 and second from wall 2. The speed of sound in

air is given to be 325 m/s. After the firing of the gun by the man N, the man M will hear the first echo in how many seconds?
