A gas has an initial volume of 24.6 L at a pressure of 1.90 atm and a temperature of 335 K. The pressure of the gas increases to
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

the final temperature of the gas is 785.18 K

Explanation:

The computation of the final temperature of the gas is shown below:

Here we apply the gas law

= PV ÷ T

Given that

P1 = 1.9 atm

V1 = 24.6 L

T1 = 335 K  

P2 = 3.5 atm

V2 = 31.3 L  

T2 = ?

Now

P1V1 ÷ T1 = P2V2 ÷ T2

(1.9 × 24.6) ÷ 335 = (3.5 × 31.3)/T2

T2 = 785.18 K

hence, the final temperature of the gas is 785.18 K

How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.

High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a 200 g golf club is traveling at 43.7 m/s just before it strikes a 45
Helga [31]

Answer:

41.27m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the velocity after impact

Given

m1 = 0.2kg

u1 = 43.7m/s

m2 = 45.9g = 0.0459kg

u2 = 30.7m/s

Required

Velocity after impact v

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

0.2(43.7)+0.0459(30.7) = (0.2+0.0459)v

8.74+1.409 = 0.2459v

10.149 = 0.2459v

v = 10.149/0.2459

v = 41.27m/s

Hence the speed of the golf ball immediately after impact is 41.27m/s

The homeowner installs an electrically heated mirror into the shower room.When a person has a shower, the heated mirrors does no
UkoKoshka [18]
When you have a warm shower, you create steam. So when the warm steam flows in the air and starts to be in contact with a cold surface, it condenses causing a mist to form on the cold surface. The heated mirror is warm so, when, the steam is in contact with the mirror condensation is prevented. Therefore, the mirror stays clear.

1.5 kg of air within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 800 K and
liraira [26]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carton cycle consists of four thermodynamic processes . The first is isothermal expansion at higher temperature , then adiabatic expansion which lowers the temperature of gas . The third process is isothermal compression at lower temperature and the last process is adiabatic compression which increases the temperature of the gas to its original temperature .

So the given process of isothermal compression must have been done at the temperature of 300K  , keeping the temperature constant .

Work done on gas at isothermal compression is equal to heat transfer .

work done on gas = 80 x 10³ J

work done on gas = n RT ln v₁ / v₂

n is number of moles v₁ and v₂ are initial and final volume

molecular weight of gas = 28.97 g

1.5 kg = 1500 / 28.97 moles

= 51.77 moles

work done on gas = n RT ln v₁ / v₂

Putting the values in the equation above

80 x 10³ = 51.78 x 8.31 x 300 x ln v₁ / .2

ln v₁ / .2 = .62

v₁ / .2 = 1.8589

v₁ = 0.37 m³
