The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 12.3 psi . you know that standard atmosph

eric pressure is 14.7 psi, so the booklet must mean 12.3 psi above atmospheric pressure. at what temperature in degrees celsius will your food cook in this pressure cooker set on "high"

<span>118 C The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is useful in calculating the boiling point of a liquid at various pressures. It is: Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) where Tb = Temperature boiling R = Ideal Gas Constant (8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ) P = Pressure of interest Hvap = Heat of vaporization of the liquid T0, P0 = Temperature and pressure at a known point. The temperatures are absolute temperatures. We know that water boils at 100C at 14.7 psi. Yes, it's ugly to be mixing metric and imperial units like that. But since we're only interested in relative pressure differences, it's safe enough. So P0 = 14.7 P = 14.7 + 12.3 = 27 T0 = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 And for water, the heat of vaporization per mole is 40660 J/mol Let's substitute the known values and calculate. Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) Tb = 1/(1/373.15 K - 8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ln(27/14.7)/40660 J/mol) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K ln(1.836734694)/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K 0.607989372/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 5.055103194 1/K /40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 0.000124326 1/K) Tb = 1/(0.002555561 1/K) Tb = 391.3034763 K Tb = 391.3034763 K - 273.15 Tb = 118.1534763 C Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 118 C</span>

Suppose you take a short piece of wire that is not attached to anything and move it up and down in a magnetic field. Explain whe
Otrada [13]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

  • According to Faraday's law, the induced emf in the circuit is given by :

         e=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}, it is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

  • In this case, a short piece of wire that is not attached to anything and move it up and down in a magnetic field. It means that the circuit is not completed here. It is an open circuit. For the induction of current, a circuit must be completed.
  • Hence, no current will induce.

Which component of weight is cause for S.H.M of bob simple pendulum
jeka57 [31]

Explanation:

The Simple Pendulum. A simple pendulum is defined to have a point mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a string of length L with negligible mass ((Figure)). Here, the only forces acting on the bob are the force of gravity (i.e., the weight of the bob) and tension from the string.

In which situation will the lowest resistance occur?
MrMuchimi

C. Thick wire and cold temperature.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by:  R = (ρL)/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length of the wire, A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.

From the formula, we see that the thicker the wire, the larger A, therefore the smaller the resistivity. so, a thick wire will have lower resistivity.

Moreover, the resistance of a wire increases with the temperature. In fact, high temperatures mean more motion of the atoms/electrons inside the wire, so more resistance to the flow of current through it. Therefore, colder temperature means lower resistance.

So, the correct option is thick wire and cold temperature.
