(8%) Problem 9: Helium is a very important element for both industrial and research applications. In its gas form it can be used

for welding, and since it has a very low melting point (only 0.95 K under 2.5 MPa) it can be used in liquid form to cool superconducting magnets, such as those found in particle physics experiments. Say we have a cylinder of n = 125 moles of Helium gas at room temperature (T = 20° C). The cylinder has a radius of r = 17 cm and a height h = 1.64 m.What pressure is Helium gas under?

Answer:

2046.37 kPa

Explanation:

Given:

Number of moles, n = 125

Temperature, T = 20° C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Radius of the cylinder, r = 17 cm = 0.17 m

Height of the cylinder, h = 1.64 m

thus,

volume of the cylinder, V = πr²h

= π × 0.17² × 1.64

= 0.148 m³

Now,

From the ideal gas law

we have

PV = nRT

here,

P is the pressure

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314 J / mol. K

thus,

P × 0.148 = 125 × 8.314 × 293

or

P × 0.148 = 304500.25

or

P = 2046372.64 Pa = 2046.37 kPa

A vertical wire carries a current straight up in a region where the magnetic field vector points due north. What is the directio

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Explanation:

Given;

direction of the magnetic field to be due north

Applying right hand rule which states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of velocity v, the fingers in the direction of magnetic field B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of magnetic force.

Since the magnetic force must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, and direction of the magnetic field is due north, then the magnetic force must be due East.

Therefore, the direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Evaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventual

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The amount of heat required is $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of water is $m_w = 20 \ ounce = 20 * 28.3495 = 5.7 *10^2 g$

The temperature of the water before drinking is $T_w = 3.8 ^oC$

The temperature of the body is $T_b = 36.6^oC$

Generally the amount of heat required to move the water from its former temperature to the body temperature is

$H= m_w * c_w * \Delta T$

Here $c_w$ is the specific heat of water with value $c_w = 4.18 J/g^oC$

So

$H= 5.7 *10^2 * 4.18 * (36.6 - 3.8)$

=> $H= 7.8 *10^{4} \ J$

Generally the no of mole of sweat present mass of water is

$n = \frac{m_w}{Z_s}$

Here $Z_w$ is the molar mass of sweat with value

$Z_w = 18.015 g/mol$

=> $n = \frac{5.7 *10^2}{18.015}$

=> $n = 31.6 \ moles$

Generally the heat required to vaporize the number of moles of the sweat is mathematically represented as

$H_v = n * L_v$

Here $L_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization with value $L_v = 7 *10^{3} J/mol$

=> $H_v = 31.6 * 7 *10^{3}$

=> $H_v = 1.29 *10^{6} \ J$

Generally the overall amount of heat energy required is

$H_t = H + H_v$

=> $H_t = 7.8 *10^{4} + 1.29 *10^{6}$

=> $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

A civil engineer wishes to redesign the curved roadway in the example What is the Maximum Speed of the Car? in such a way that a

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

24.3 degrees

Explanation:

A car traveling in circular motion at linear speed v = 12.8 m/s around a circle of radius r = 37 m is subjected to a centripetal acceleration:

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{12.8^2}{37} = 4.43 m/s^2$

Let α be the banked angle, as α > 0, the outward centripetal acceleration vector is split into 2 components, 1 parallel and the other perpendicular to the road. The one that is parallel has a magnitude of 4.43cosα and is the one that would make the car slip.

Similarly, gravitational acceleration g is split into 2 component, one parallel and the other perpendicular to the road surface. The one that is parallel has a magnitude of gsinα and is the one that keeps the car from slipping outward.

So $gsin\alpha = 4.43cos\alpha$

$\frac{sin\alpha}{cos\alpha} = \frac{4.43}{g} = \frac{4.43}{9.81} = 0.451$

$tan\alpha = 0.451$

$\alpha = tan^{-1}0.451 = 0.424 rad = 0.424*180/\pi \approx 24.3^0$

>En cual de las siguientes situaciones la fuerza neta sobre el cuerpo es cero?

ExtremeBDS [4]

La respuesta es "Un avion que vuela al norte con rapidez constante y altitud constante".

Para que la fuerza neta sea 0, la aceleracion debe ser 0, para esto la velocidad debe ser constante.

Para que la velocidad sea constante el objecto debe estar moviendo con rapidez (magnitud de la velocidad) constante y sin cambiar direccion; ya que la velocidad es un vector asi es que depende en magnitud y direccion.

En las demas opciones la magnitud de la velocidad (rapidez) cambia y/o la direccion.

A microwave oven operates with sinusoidal microwaves at a frequency of 2400 MHz. The height of the oven cavity is 25 cm and the

Degger [83]

Answer:

F = 2 × 10⁻³ N

Explanation:

Given:

frequency, f = 2400 MHz

Height, h = 25cm = 0.25 m

Area of the base, A = 30 cm x 30 cm = 900 cm² = 0.09 m²

Energy of the microwave, E = 0.50 mJ = 0.5 x 10⁻³ J

Now, the time taken by the wave from top to the base, t = h/c

here, c is the speed of the light

thus,

t = 0.25/(3 x 10⁸) = 8.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ s

The radiation pressure $P_r$ = Intensity/c

now, the intensity is given as:

I = Power/ area

also,

Power = Energy/ time = 0.5 x 10⁻³ J/8.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ s = 600000 W

thus,

I = 600000 W/ 0.09 m² = 6666666.6 W/m²

substituting the value in the formula for pressure due to radiation, we have

$P_r$ = 6666666.6 W/m²/(3 x 10⁸)

also

pressure = Force/ area

thus,

Force/ area = 6666666.6 W/m²/(3 x 10⁸)

or

Force (F) = (6666666.6 W/m² × 0.09 m²)/(3 x 10⁸)

or

F = 2 × 10⁻³ N
