Answer:

We know that the gravitational force between two objects of mass M1 and M2 that are at a distance R, is given by:

F = G*(M1*M2)/R^2

Where G is a constant.

If you reduce one of the masses, then the gravitational force between the objects will change.

So if we take un account the Earth and the Sun, when you reduce the mass of Earth, the force between Earth and the Sun will decrease, and this will change the orbit of the Earth around the Sun.

(The orbit also depends on the gravitational force between the Earth and the other planets in the system, and all those forces also change, which also has an impact in the orbit change)

A tank contains gas at 13.0°C pressurized to 10.0 atm. The temperature of the gas is increased to 95.0°C, and half the gas is re
fomenos

Answer:

The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 13+273=286 K

Pressure = 10.0 atm

We need to calculate the pressure of the remaining gas

Using equation of ideal gas

PV=nRT

For a gas

P_{1}V_{1}=nRT_{1}

Where, P = pressure

V = volume

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

10\times V=nR\times286....(I)

When the temperature of the gas is increased

Then,

P_{2}V_{2}=\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

\dfrac{P_{1}V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nRT_{1}}{\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}}

\dfrac{10\times V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nR\times286}{\dfrac{n}{2}R368}

P_{2}=\dfrac{10\times368}{2\times286}

P_{2}= 6.433\ atm

P_{2}=6.4\ atm

Hence, The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

If the average pitcher is releasing the ball from a height of 1.8 m above the ground, and the pitcher's mound is 0.2 m higher th
mina [271]

The catcher can catch the ball at a height of 0.96 m from the ground.

The distance between the pitcher's mound and the catcher's box is about 60'6", which translates to 18.44 m. An average pitcher can pitch with speeds ranging from 88 mph to 97 mph, which is from 39.3 m/s to 43.4 m/s.

Assume the pitcher pitches a ball horizontally with a speed of 40 m/s. If the catcher catches the ball in a time t, then the ball travels a horizontal distance x of 18.44 m and at the same time falls through a height y.

The horizontal motion of the ball is uniform motion since no force acts on the ball ( assuming no air resistance) and hence the acceleration of the ball along the horizontal direction is zero.

Therefore,

x=ut

Calculate the time t by substituting 18.44 m for x and 40 m/s for u.

t=\frac{x}{u} \\ =\frac{18.44 m}{40 m/s} \\ =0.461s

The ball is acted upon by the earth's gravitational attraction and hence it accelerates downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g.

Since a horizontal projection is assumed, the ball has no component of velocity in the downward direction.

Therefore, for vertical motion, which is an accelerated motion, the distance y, the ball falls in the time t taken by it to reach the catcher's box is given by the equation,

y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Substitute 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.461 s for t.

y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ y=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.461s)^2=1.04 m

The pitcher releases the ball at a height of 1.8 m from a mound which is at a height of 0.2 m. Thus, the ball is released at a height of 2.0 m from the ground. It falls through a distance of 1.04 m in the time it takes to reach the catcher.

Therefore, the height at which the catcher needs to keep his glove so as to catch the ball is given by,(2.0 m)-(1.04 m)=0.96 m

The catcher needs to hold his glove at a height of <u>0,96 m from the ground.</u>
