Sam's bike tire contains 15 units of air particles and has a volume of 160mL. Under these conditions the pressure reads 13 psi.

The tire develops a leak. Now it contains 10 units of air particles and has contracted to a volume of 150mL. What would the tire pressure be now?

Use ideal gas equation, with T constant.

pV =nRT => pV / n = RT = constant

n = K* [units of particles]

pV / [units of particles] = constant

13 psi * 160 mL / 15 units = p * 150 mL / 10 units =>

=> p = [13psi*160mL/15units]*[10units/150mL] = 9.2 psi

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 51.0 mm in height and 42.0 mm in diameter. Determine the density of the material
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

14160 kg/m^3

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the volume of the cylinder.

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

V=\pi r^2 h

where:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{42.0 mm}{2}=21.0 mm=0.021 m is the radius

h=51.0 mm=0.051 m is the height

Substituting, we find

V=\pi (0.021 m)^2 (0.051 m)=7.1 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3

And the density is given by

d=\frac{m}{V}

where m = 1 kg is the mass. Substituting, we find

d=\frac{1 kg}{7.1\cdot 10^{-5} m^3}=14,160 kg/m^3

Physics help, please? :)
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

3. Newton’s third law explains how every action has an equal but opposite reaction, meaning that forces comes in pairs. While the locomotive’s wheels are pushing back against the ground as the action force, the ground is producing a reaction force towards the locomotive, propelling it forward. Another pair of forces that act on the locomotive is gravity and normal force. While gravity is pulling the locomotive towards the ground, the normal force the ground exerts on the locomotive is why the locomotive doesn’t fall through the ground.

4. The force of Earth’s gravity on the Sun is weaker than the force of the Sun’s gravity on Earth. The Sun’s attraction  affects the motion of Earth more than the Earth’s attraction affects the Sun’s motion because according to  Newton’s second law, force has mass as one of its factors. The Sun has a significantly higher mass than Earth,  meaning that its force of gravity would also be significantly higher. Newton’s third law is why the Earth doesn’t get  marginally closer to the Sun, stating that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. As the Sun is pulling  Earth towards itself, Earth is pulling away from the Sun.

The air in a 6.00 L tank has a pressure of 2.00 atm. What is the final pressure, in atmospheres, when the air is placed in tanks
ser-zykov [4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume of tank, V = 6 L

Initial pressure, P = 2 atm

We need to find the final pressure when the air is placed in tanks that have the following volumes if there is no change in temperature and amount of gas:

(a) V' = 1 L

It is a case of Boyle's law. It says that volume is inversely proportional to the pressure at constant temperature. So,

PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{1}\\\\P'=12\ atm

(b) V' = 2500 mL

New pressure becomes :

PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{2500\times 10^{-3}}\\\\P'=4.8\ atm

(c) V' = 750 mL

New pressure becomes :

PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{750\times 10^{-3}}\\\\P'=16\ atm

(d) V' = 8 L

New pressure becomes :

PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{8}\\\\P'=1.5\ atm

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.

What is the gauge pressure of the water right at the point p, where the needle meets the wider chamber of the syringe? neglect t
Helen [10]

Missing details: figure of the problem is attached.

We can solve the exercise by using Poiseuille's law. It says that, for a fluid in laminar flow inside a closed pipe,

\Delta P =  \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi r^4}

where:

\Delta P is the pressure difference between the two ends

\mu is viscosity of the fluid

L is the length of the pipe

Q=Av is the volumetric flow rate, with A=\pi r^2 being the section of the tube and v the velocity of the fluid

r is the radius of the pipe.

We can apply this law to the needle, and then calculating the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. For our problem, we have:

\mu=0.001 Pa/s is the dynamic water viscosity at 20^{\circ}

L=4.0 cm=0.04 m

Q=Av=\pi r^2 v= \pi (1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 \cdot 10 m/s =3.14 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3/s

and r=1 mm=0.001 m

Using these data in the formula, we get:

\Delta P = 3200 Pa

However, this is the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. But the end of the needle is at atmosphere pressure, and therefore the gauge pressure (which has zero-reference against atmosphere pressure) at point P is exactly 3200 Pa.
