Suppose that on a hot and sticky afternoon in the spring, a tornado passes over the high school. If the air pressure in the lab

(volume of 180m3) was 1.1 atm before the storm and 0.85 atm during the storm, to what volume would the laboratory try to expand in order to make up for the large pressure difference outside?
a. 190m3
b. 230m3
c. 1,800m3
d. 7,100m3

Answer:

232.9m³ (Option b. is the closest answer)

Explanation:

Given:

Air pressure in the lab before the storm, P₁ = 1.1atm

Air volume in the lab before the storm, V₁ = 180m³

Air pressure in the lab during the storm P₂ = 0.85atm

Air volume in the lab before the storm, V₂ = ?

Applying Boyle's law:    P₁V₁ = P₂V₂    (at constant temperature)

                          V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}}

                          V_{2} = \frac{1.1 * 180}{0.85}

                          V_{2} = \frac{198}{0.85}

                           V₂  = 232.9m³

The air volume in the laboratory that would expand in order to make up for the large pressure difference outside is 232.9m³

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

A 27-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 640 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

Explanation:

To attempt this question, we use the formula for the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

I = F t = Δp

Next, we try to find the time that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), so we say

v = d / t

t = d / v

Given that

m = 26 g = 26 10⁻³ kg

d = 50 mm = 50 10⁻³ m

t = d/v

t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

F t = m v - m v₀

This is so, because the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

F = m (v-vo) / t

F = 26*10⁻³ (-500 - 640) / 8.33*10⁻⁵

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

The negative sign is as a result of the force exerted against the bullet

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball v_1=25m/sec

And velocity after rebound v_2=-19m/sec

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to =m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer
