8. A 2 kg flower pot weighing 20 N falls from a window ledge.

Physics

Alina [70]3 years ago

The force of the air resistance is 4 N.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the flower pot, m = 2 kg
  • weight of the flower pot, W = 20 N

Let the air resistance = F

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the force of the air resistance acting upward to oppose the motion of the pot falling downwards.

\Sigma F = ma\\\\W - F = ma\\\\a = \frac{W - F}{m} \\\\8 = \frac{20 - F}{2} \\\\20 - F = 16\\\\F = 20 - 16\\\\F = 4 \ N

Thus, the force of the air resistance is 4 N.

zvonat [6]
Work done is when a force is exerted to cause a displacement in a certain object. 
the equation for work done ;
work done = force applied * displacement of the object 
when the force applied is not in the same direction as that of the displacement of the object then the effect of the force is not its whole value. The force is then applied at an angle to that of the displacement of the object, then the resultant force is the force exerted* cos of the angle between force and displacement, in this instance the angle is 40 °.
the new equation is then;
work done = force cos 40° * displacement
after substitution,
work = 25 N * 0.76 * 50 m
         = 957.55 J
round it off
         = 9.6 *10² J
the correct answer is B

mash [69]

The magnitude and direction (inward or outward) of the net flux through the cell boundary is - 0.887 wb.m².

<h3>What is flux?</h3>

Flux describes any effect that appears to pass or travel through a surface or substance.

The magnitude and direction (inward or outward) of the net flux through the cell boundary is calculated as follows;

Ф = Q/ε

where;

  • Q is net charge
  • ε is permittivity of free space

Φ = (-7.85 x 10⁻¹²)/(8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

Φ = - 0.887 wb.m²

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands
seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV =  n*R*T  ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)  = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J
