Answer:

Increase in temperature

Increase in pressure

Explanation:

For the rate of collisions to increase, It can happen in various ways

1. The gasses can be made to move faster: This can be done by increasing their temperature. An increase in the temperature of the gases directly relates to a corresponding increase in their kinetic energy. This means that the molecules of the gases can move with a greater velocity, which will increase collision rates.

2. The volume of the container can be reduced: Consider this; If the container is made smaller, the molecules of the gases will have less space to move about. This means that they will be bumping into the walls of the container more frequently. This reduction in volume leads to an increase in the pressure of the gas. This is exactly what happens in a piston-cylinder assembly

A 1.15-kg mass oscillates according to the equation x = 0.650 cos(8.40t) where x is in meters and t in seconds. Determine (a) th
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.650 m

(b) f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) E = 17.1416 J

(d)  K = 11.8835 J

     U = 5.2581 J

Explanation:

Given

m = 1.15 kg

x = 0.650 cos (8.40t)

(a) the amplitude,

A = 0.650 m

(b) the frequency,

if we know that

ω = 2πf = 8.40    ⇒   f = 8.40 / (2π)

⇒   f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) the total energy,

we use the formula

E = m*ω²*A² / 2

⇒  E = (1.15)(8.40)²(0.650)² / 2

⇒  E = 17.1416 J

(d) the kinetic energy and potential energy when x = 0.360 m.

We use the formulas

K = (1/2)*m*ω²*(A² - x²)       (the kinetic energy)

and

U = (1/2)*m*ω²*x²              (the potential energy)

then

K = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*((0.650)² - (0.360)²)

⇒  K = 11.8835 J

U = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*(0.360)²

⇒  U = 5.2581 J

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work

A circular loop of diameter 10 cm, carrying a current of 0.20 A, is placed inside a magnetic field B⃗ =0.30 Tk^. The normal to t
arlik [135]

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque on the loop due to the magnetic field is 4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 cm

Current = 0.20 A

Magnetic field = 0.30 T

Unit vectorn=-0.60\hat{i}-0.080\hat{j}

We need to calculate the torque on the loop

Using formula of torque

\tau=NIAB\sin\theta

Where, N = number of turns

A = area

I = current

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

\tau=1\times0.20\times\pi\times(5\times10^{-2})^2\times0.30\times\sin90^{\circ}

\tau=4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m

Hence, The magnitude of the torque on the loop due to the magnetic field is 4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m.

A thin film of polystyrene is used as an antireflective coating for fabulite (known as the substrate). the index of refraction o
kvasek [131]

To solve this problem, we assume that the wavelength of the light in air is 500 nanometers.

For this case we only need the refractive index of the polystyrene. For an antireflective coating, we need a quarter of wave thickness at the wavelength in the air. Which means that the antireflective coating needs to be as thick as 1/4 of the wavelength, divided by the coating’s refractive index. This is expressed mathematically in the form:

x = λ / (4 * n)

where,

x = thickness

λ = wavelength of light

n = index of refraction of polystyrene

Substituting:

x = 500 nm / (4 * 1.49)
x = 500 nm / 5.96
x = 83.90 nm
