Answer:

Given that

V2/V1= 0.25

And we know that in adiabatic process

TV^န-1= constant

T1/T2=( V1 /V2)^ န-1

So = ( 1/0.25)^ 0.66= 2.5

Also PV^န= constant

So P1/P2= (V2/V1)^န

= (1/0.25)^1.66 = 9.98

A. RMS speed is

Vrms= √ 3RT/M

But this is also

Vrms 2/Vrms1= (√T2/T1)

Vrms2=√2.5= 1.6vrms1

Lambda=V/4π√2πr²N

Lambda 2/lambda 1= V2/V1 = 0.25

So the mean free path can be inferred to be 0.25 times the first mean free path

C. Using

Eth= 3/2KT

So Eth2/Eth1= T2/T1

Eth2= 2.5Eth1

Using CV= 3/2R

Cvf= Cvi

So molar specific heat constant does not change

The half-life of a certain element is 100 days. How many half-lives will it be before only one-eighth of this element remains?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The half-life is the time it takes for the amount of radioactive isotope to halve. Therefore, we have:

- After 1 half-life, only 1/2 of the element will be left

- After 2 half-lives, only 1/4 of the element will be left

- After 3 half-lives, only 1/8 of the element will be left

So, it will take 3 half-lives for the element to become 1/8 of its original amount.

Mathematically, this can be also verified by using the equation

$\frac{N(t)}{N_0}=(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{\tau_{1/2}}$

where

N(t) is the amount of the element left at time t

N0 is the initial amount of the element

$\tau_{1/2}$ is the half-life

Substituting $t=3\tau_{1/2}$ (3 half-lives), we find

$\frac{N(t)}{N_0}=(\frac{1}{2})^3=\frac{1}{8}$

a) Solids keep shape, liquids take shape of containers but don't spill, gases take container's shape and spill out

b) if you heat gas, speed of its molecules will increase and they'll push the container's walls stronger, so the pressure will increase when the container heated

Horace has invented a unique pair of reading glasses that have two small light bulbs at the bottom wired in series, so that he c

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance of each bulb, R = 2 ohms

Voltage of the system, V = 3.2 volts

These two bulbs are connected in series. The equivalent resistance will be 2 ohms +2 ohms = 4 ohms

Let I is the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses. Using Ohm's law to find it such that :

$V=IR\\\\I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{3.2}{4}\\\\I=0.8\ A$

So, the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.
