An ideal gas in a cylinder occupies a volume of 0.065 m3 at room temperature (T = 293 K). The gas is confined by a piston with a

weight of 100 N and an area of 0.65 m2. The pressure above the piston is equal to one atmosphere (atm = 1.013x105 Pa). The piston is free to move up and down. 1) What is the magnitude of the net force on the piston? zero 50 N 100 N 2) Briefly explain your answer.

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

There are three forces acting on the piston

1. force due to atmospheric pressure = F1 downward

2. force due to gaseous pressure = F2 upward

3. force due to the weight placed on the piston = F3 = mg downward

As the piston is in equilibrium condition, so the net force on the piston is zero.

Technician A says that the use of some RTV sealants to seal components on an engine can damage the oxygen sensor. Technician B s
netineya [11]

Answer: The correct option is C(both A and B)

Explanation:

In engine chambers, internal combustion of fuel is used to produce mechanical energy.

RTV ( Room Temperature Vulcanising) sealants are silicon products used for the sealing purpose of the engine component. As the name implies once exposed to air, it solidifies. However, it has a negative effect on the oxygen sensor of the engine components by makes a coating over the sensors with the silicone film and, after a time, will affect the operation performed by them. Therefore Technician A is correct.

Technician B is equally correct in that an engine need to be lubricated with oil to help cool the moving part while on. But in order to ensure that oil reaches all movable parts a common method know as heavy-duty reversible spin drills is applied. This method regulates the flow of oil using the engine.

An astronaut holds a rock 100m above the surface of Planet X . The rock is then thrown upward with a speed of 15m/s , as shown i
Butoxors [25]

Answer:5 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The described situation is is related to vertical motion (and free fall). So, we can use the following equation that models what happens with this rock:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

Where:

y=0m is the rock's final height

y_{o}=100 m is the rock's initial height

V_{o}=15 m/s is the rock's initial velocity

\theta=90\° is the angle at which the rock was thrown (directly upwards)

t=10 s is the time

g is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X

Then, isolating g and taking into account sin(90\°)=1:

g=(-\frac{2}{t^{2}})(y-y_{o}-V_{o}t) (2)

g=(-\frac{2}{(10 s)^{2}})(0 m-100 m-(15 m/s)(10 s)) (3)

Finally:

g=5 m/s^{2} (4) This is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X

When you skid to a stop on your bike, you can significantly heat the small patch of tire that rubs against the road surface. Sup
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

W_f = 148.17J

Explanation:

During the exchange of applied force, thermal energy is generated by the friction that exists between the ground and the tire.

Said force according to the statement is the reaction of half the force on the rear tire. In this way the normal force acted is,

N=\frac{mg}{2} = \frac{90*9.8}{2} = 441N

The work done is given by the friction force and the distance traveled,

W_f = fd = \mu_k Nd

Where \mu_k [/ tex] is the coefficient of kinetic frictionN is the normal force previously found d is the distance traveled,Replacing,[tex]W_f = (0.80)(441)(0.42)

The thermal energy released through the work done is,

W_f = 148.17J

Planetary orbits... are spaced more closely together as they get further from the Sun. are evenly spaced throughout the solar sy
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

T^{2} = a^{3}

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.
