During the expansion of a gas in piston-cylinder the relation between the pressure and the volume is given as

1 answer:

Answer: The relationship between the pressure and the volume is given as P=K/V or PV= K. (Pressure increases as Volume decreases).

Explanation:

When gas is trapped in an enclosed medium for example a cylinder by a piston. When the piston is pushed in, the gas particles will have less room to move as the VOLUME the gas occupies has been DECREASED. This will automatically lead to frequent collision of the has particles with the wall of the container. The collision exerts forces which leads to INCREASED PRESSURE.

This obeys the Boyle's law which states that the volume occupied by a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided temperature is kept constant. This can be mathematically expressed below:

PV=K, where K is constant

P1 V1=P2 V2

Where,

P1= initial pressure

V1= initial Volume

P2= final pressure

V2= final Volume.

Therefore, increasing pressure from initial pressure to final pressure means that initial volume will change to final volume, providing the temperature remains constant.

A diver jumps off a diving platform that is 20 meters long. Describe the transfer of energy that occurs during the fall.

Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by

$E=mgh$

where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

The height of the tower and the distance from its base form a right angle triangle. Thus,
tan(∅) = height / base
tan(28.81) = height / 1,000 m

Answer:

ball hit the ground from her feet is 1.83 m far away

Explanation:

given data

speed = 5.3 m/s

angle = 12°

height = 1 m

to find out

how far from her feet ball hit ground

solution

we consider here x is horizontal component and y is vertical component

so in vertical

velocity will be = v sin12

vertical speed u = 5.3 sin 12 = 1.1 m/s downward

and

in horizontal , velocity we know v = 5.3 m/s

so from motion of equation

s = ut + 0.5×a×t²

s is distance t is time a is 9.8

put all value

1 = 1.1 ( t) + 0.5×9.8×t²

solve it we get t

t = 0.353 s

and

horizontal distance is = vcos12 × t

so horizontal distance = 5.3×cos12 × ( 0.353)

horizontal distance = 1.83 m

so ball hit the ground from her feet is 1.83 m far away
