Can pockets of vacuum persist in an ideal gas? Assume that a room is filled with air at 20∘C and that somehow a small spherical

region of radius 1 cm within the room becomes devoid of air molecules. Estimate how long it will take for air to refill this region of vacuum. Assume the atomic mass of air is 29 u.

Answer:

The time required is 20 μs

Explanation:

Here is the data provided:

temperature = 20°C  = 293 K

radius = 1 cm

atomic mass of air = 29 u

To determine

the duration for air to refill the vacuum space

solution:

We calculate the root mean square velocity of air particles. This can be expressed as:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{3}{2}RT

where m indicates mass, t is temperature, v is speed, and R is the ideal gas constant, which is approximately 8.3145 (kg·m²/s²)/K·mol.

v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }............................1

v = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.314)293}{29*10{-3}kg} }

Resulting in v = 501.99 m/s.

<pNow, to cover the distance of 1 cm,<pThe duration needed for air is calculated as:

time taken = \frac{r}{v}

which gives us:

time taken = \frac{1*10^{-2}m}{501.99}

so, time taken = 19.92 × 10^{6} seconds = 20μs.

Thus, the required time is 20 μs.

Sav [3153]
The total duration from the stone's drop to the echo being heard is 8.9 seconds. The sound takes 0.9 seconds to reach the listener, meaning it takes the stone 8 seconds to descend to the well's bottom. Using gravitational acceleration, the well's depth calculates to be approximately 313.6 meters.

A tennis ball bounces on the floor three times. If each time it loses 22.0% of its energy due to heating, how high does it rise
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

H = 109.14 cm

Explanation:

Given,                                                            

Assume that the total energy equals 1 unit.                                

Energy remaining after the first collision = 0.78 x 1 unit

Balance after the first impact = 0.78 units

Remaining energy after the second impact = 0.78 ^2 units

Balance after the second impact = 0.6084 units

Remaining energy after the third impact = 0.78 ^3 units

Balance after the third impact = 0.475 units

The height reached after the third collision is equivalent to the remaining energy.

Let H denote the height achieved after three bounces.

0.475 (m g h) = m g H                  

H = 0.475 x h                                    

H = 0.475 x 2.3 m                          

H = 1.0914 m                      

H = 109.14 cm
