First, we must transform the pressure into SI units, considering that 1 atm = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa:
p=10.0 atm =1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa

The starting and ending volumes of the gas will be as follows (keeping in mind that 1.0 L = 0.001 m^3):
V_i = 20.0 L=0.020 m^3
V_f = 2.0 L=0.002 m^3

Thus, the work performed on the gas by its surroundings is
W= -p \Delta V=-p(V_f-V_i)=-(1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa)(0.002 m^3-0.020 m^3)=18180 J
The positive outcome indicates that this work leads to a rise in the gas's internal energy.

ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

w= 1.867\times10^{-2}

Explanation:

Provided:

fiber diameter d= 18 μm

screen distance D= 30 cm

wavelength λ= 560 nm

from this, we can determine the fringe width

w=\frac{2\lambda D}{d}

substituting the values yield

w=\frac{2\times560\times10^{-9}\times0.3}{18\times10^{-6}

w= 1.867\times10^{-2}

Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for a time 1.0 s, starting from rest, giving the puck speed v a
Softa [3030]
According to Newton's second law, Force equals the rate of change of momentum over time. Momentum change is equal to Force times time. So, F=ma can be rearranged to a=F/m, a more recognizable formulation of Newton's second law
Using a relevant kinematic equation for mass m: V=u+at; where initial speed u=0; thus, acceleration a=F/m gives V=(F/m)xt, which translates to t=mV/F. For mass 2m, applying the same formula: V=u+at; u=0; a=F/2m indicates V=(F/2m)xt, leading to t=2mV/F (possibly double the initial time)
I might have erred somewhere along the line, but the fundamental concept seems valid... using another kinematic equation for m: s=ut + (1/2)at²; with s=d; and initial speed u=0; a=F/m; t=1; results in d=(1/2)(F/m) = F/2m. Similarly, for 2m: s=ut + (1/2)at²; s=d; u=0; a=F/2m; and t=1 gives d=(1/2)(F/2m)=F/4m (half the distance perhaps???? WHAT???!)

The acceleration due to gravity for any object, including 1 washer on the string, is always assumed to be m/s2. The mass of 3 wa
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

The force will rise in direct relation to the mass of the objects

Explanation:

The gravitational acceleration remains constant. It is measured in meters per second squared or m/s². The average value is 9.81 m/s², calculated from observations made on varying surfaces. In reality, the acceleration can vary based on the geographical shape of the Earth relative to the earth's magnetic field and gravitational force.

For instance, if a single washer weighs 20 kg, with the gravity at 9.81 m/s², the weight would be:

F = ma

  = 20 * 9.81\\= 196.2 N

If there are three washers, the total weight calculates as:

F = 3 * 20 * 9.81

  = 588.6 N

Two planets having equal masses are in circular orbit around a star. Planet A has a smaller orbital radius than planet B. Which
serg [3582]

Answer:

Explanation:

To approach this problem, we need to understand two key concepts.

First, the gravitational force on an object in orbit equals its mass multiplied by centripetal acceleration.

Secondly, Newton's law of universal gravitation defines the force between two masses: Fg = mMG/r², where Fg denotes gravitational force, m and M signify the masses, G represents the gravitational constant, and r indicates the distance separating the two masses.

Thus:

Fg = m v²/r

mMG/r² = m v²/r

v² = MG/r

Potential energy for each planet is expressed as:

PE = mgr = m (MG/r²) r = mMG/r

Kinetic energy for each planet is computed as:

KE = 1/2 mv² = 1/2 m (MG/r) = 1/2 mMG/r

Total mechanical energy is calculated as:

ME = PE + KE = 3/2 mMG/r

Since both planets share the same mass, the only variable is their orbital radius. Consequently, Planet A, with a smaller radius, possesses greater potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy.
