Answer:

The value is  P_2 = 40.54 \ psla

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The initial pressure is  P_1 = 14\  psla

  The initial temperature is  T_1 =  50 \ F = (50 - 32) * [\frac{5}{9} ] + 273 = 283  \  K

   The final temperature is  T_2 =  320 \ F = (320 - 32) * [\frac{5}{9} ] + 273 =433  \  K

Generally the equation for adiabatic process is mathematically represented as

         PT^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} } =  Constant

=>      P_1T_1^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} } =  P_2T_2^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} }

Generally for a monoatomic gas  \gamma =  \frac{5}{3}

So

           14 * 283^{\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{1- [\frac{5}{3} ]} } =P_2 * 433^{\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{1- [\frac{5}{3} ]} }

=>       14 * 283^{-2.5} =P_2 * 433^{-2.5}

=>       P_2 = 40.54 \ psla

A shot is fired at an angle of 60 degree horizontal with Kinetic energy E. If air resistance is ignored, the K.E at the top of t
Lapatulllka [165]
I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith. 

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is    S cos(60)  =  0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is   S sin(60) = S√3/2  =  0.866 S .  (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change. 

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally. 

That's  E/4 .

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?
Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.

A sphere of volume 1.20×10−3m3 hangs from a cable. When the sphere is completely submerged in water, the tension in the cable is
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B = 62.9 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the  liquid

         B = ρ g V

write the equilibrium equation

         T + B -W = 0

         B = W- T               (1)

use the density to write the weight

         ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

         W = ρ g V

substitute in  1

         B = m g -T

         B = \rho_{body} g V - T

To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel  \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³

calculate

         B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4

          B = 92.3 - 29.4

          B = 62.9 N

How many atoms are in a sample of 2.39 moles of neon (Ne) atoms?
Reil [10]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

 </span>2.39 moles Ne ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole ) = 1.44 × 10^24 atoms Ne
