PLEASE ANSWER: Why can a gas expand to fill a room?

Physics

Answer:

Gases expand to fill space because the particles of a gas have so much energy that they fly off in all directions, overwhelming the forces that hold them together.

The thermal efficiency of a power cycle operating in a reversible manner is found to be 50%. Assuming that the same 2 thermal re
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency of a Power cycle \eta = \dfrac{Q_H -Q_c}{Q_H}

where;

\eta = 50\% = 0.5

Q_H = Heat \ flow \ from \ higher \ temperature

Q_c = Heat \ flow \ from \ lower \ temperature

0.5 = \dfrac{Q_H -Q_c}{Q_H}

0.5 Q_H = Q_H - Q_c --- (1)

Q_c = 0.5 Q_H         ---- (2)

The coefficient of performance is:

COP_R = \dfrac{Q_c}{Q_H -Q_c}

let replace the value of Q_c = 0.5 Q_H   in the above equation then;

COP_R = \dfrac{0.5Q_H}{Q_H -0.5 Q_H}

COP_R = \dfrac{0.5Q_H}{0.5 Q_H}

COP_R = 1

The

On the other hand,  the heat pump

COP_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_H}{Q_H -Q_c}

By replacing equation (1) into the above equation; we have:

COP_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_H}{0.5Q_{H}}

COP_{HP} = \dfrac{1}{0.5}

COP_{HP} =2

A spring on Earth has a 0.500 kg mass suspended from one end and the mass is displaced by 0.3 m. What will the displacement of t
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The displacement of the same mass on the same spring on the Moon is 0.05 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass suspended from one end of the spring, m = 0.500 kg

displacement on the spring on Earth, x = 0.3 m

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma = mg

where;

m is mass on the spring

g is acceleration due to gravity

Also, apply Hook's law;

F = Kx

where;

K is force constant

x is extension or diplacement of the spring

Combine the two equations from the two laws;

mg = kx

when the spring in on Earth;

0.5 x 9.8 = 0.3k

4.9 = 0.3k

k = 4.9 / 0.3

k = 16.333 N/m

when the spring is on moon;

mg = kx

mass is the same = 0.5 kg

acceleration due to gravity on moon = ¹/₆ that of Earth =  ¹/₆  x 9.8 m/s²

0.5 (¹/₆  x 9.8) = 16.333 x

0.8167 = 16.333 x

x = 0.8167 / 16.333

x = 0.05 m

Therefore, the displacement of the same mass on the same spring on the Moon is 0.05 m.

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: (A) The number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time.  

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.

Frequency: Is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a specified amount of time.

Trough: The low point of the wave cycle.

Wavelength: The distance between two successive peaks.

Electromagnetic wave: One of the waves that are propagated by simultaneous periodic variations of electric and magnetic field intensity.

Two samples of water are mixed together.
horrorfan [7]

Let the cold water go up x degrees.

Let the hot water go down 100 - x degrees.

The formula for heat exchange is m*c*delta t

Givens

Ice

deltat = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18

Hot water

deltat = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

Formula

The heat up = heat down

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x)            Divide both sides by c

Solution

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x)                          Remove the brackets.

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x                                  Add 1.5x to both sides.

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x             Combine like terms  

2x = 150                                               Divide by 2

x = 75

A

You throw a 5.5 g coin straight down at 4.0 m/s from a 25-m-high bridge.
yuradex [85]

<u><em>Answer</em></u>

A) 1,347.5 Joules

B) 22.49 m/s


<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

<u>Part A</u>

The work done by the gravity is known as potential energy.

It is given by;

P.E = mgh

Where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height.

P.E = 5.5 × 9.8 ×25

= 1,347.5 Joules.

<u>Part B</u>

Using the Newton's third Law of motion,

V² = U² +2as

Where v is final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and s is the displacement of the stone.

V² = 4² + (2×9.8×25)

= 16 + 490

= 506

V = √506

= 22.49 m/s
