Answer:

I'm not sure how to use it using the Series, but it would be the plastic comb

Explanation:

In the winter, it's likely to be cold and the glass would absorb that energy, also making it cold. in order to be able to hold it, you would need something warm, thus making the plastic one the better option as it is less likely to absorb the cold energy

Comparing helium atoms with nitrogen molecules at the same temperature, the helium atoms on average are moving _______ and have

mylen [45]

Answer:

Helium atoms compared to nitrogen atoms are moving faster and have a greater kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The molecular velocity of a gas at room temperature is inverse proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.

The greater the molecular mass of the gas the lesser the average speed of its molecules. Comparing the molecular masses of nitrogen and helium, helium is found to have a lower molecular mass and a corresponding greater velocity.

Hence helium moves faster than nitrogen and has a higher kinetic energy than nitrogen

A sample of an ideal gas initially occupies a volume of 6 L. The pressure of the sample is then doubled while it is cooled to on

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

V₂= 1 L

Explanation:

Given that

Volume occupies V₁= 6 L

Initial pressure = P₁

Initial temperature = T₁

The final pressure =P₂ = 2 P₁

Final volume =V₂

Final temperature = T₁/3

As we know that equation for ideal gas

P V = m R T

P=pressure, V=volume, T=temperature

m=mass ,R=gas constant

Now from mass conservation

$m=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}$

$\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}$

$\dfrac{P_1\times 6}{RT_1}=3\times \dfrac{2P_1V_2}{RT_1}$

6 = 3 x 2 V₂

V₂= 1 L

So the final volume will be 1 L

Based on the information presented in the graph, what is the velocity of the object?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

<u>The velocity of a position-time graph is the slope of the line.</u> Slope is rise over run, or rise divided by run. The rise (how many units the line goes up) is 3 units and the run is 1 unit. 3/1 is 3, so the velocity is 3 m/s.

The sound level at a distance of 2.30 m from a source is 115 dB. At what distance will the sound level have the following values

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

distance is 13 m for 100 dB

distance is 409 km for 10 dB

Explanation:

Given data

distance r = 2.30 m

source β = 115 dB

to find out

distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB

solution

first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance

we know sound level β = 10 log(I/ $I_{0}$ ) ......................a

put here value (I/ $I_{0}$ ) = 10^−12 W/m² and β = 115

115 = 10 log(I/10^−12)

I = 0.316228 W/m²

and we know power = intensity × 4π r² ...............b

power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²

power = 21.021604 W

we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²

so by solving r

r = 12.933855 m = 13 m

distance is 13 m

and

at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²

by solving r we get

r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km
