Answer:

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

Oil head = 12.2 m

h= 12.2 m

Pressure P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

Lets take density of the liquid =ρ

The pressure due to liquid P given as

P = ρ g h

Now by putting the all values in the above equation

1.013 x 10⁵ Pa = ρ x 10 x 12.2 ( take g =10 m/s²)

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Therefore the density of oil is 830.32 kg/m³

When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.33 A. When they are wired in pa

Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2$

In parallel

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0$

Solving the above quadratic equation

$\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega$

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

An air-track cart with mass m1=0.28kg and initial speed v0=0.75m/s collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest ini

arsen [322]

Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,

KE = 0.5mv²

At initial conditions,

m₁: KE = 0.5(0.28 kg)(0.75 m/s)² = 0.07875 J

m₂ : KE = 0.5(0.45 kg)(0 m/s)² = 0 J

Due to the momentum balance,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)(V)

Substituting the known values,

(0.29 kg)(0.75 m/s) + (0.43 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(V)

V = 0.2977 m/s

The kinetic energy is,
KE = (0.5)(0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(0.2977 m/s)²
KE = 0.03146 J

The difference between the kinetic energies is 0.0473 J.

Calculate the pressure, in atmospheres, exerted by each of the following:

gregori [183]

Answer:

a) 14.2 atm

b) 4.46 atm

c) 1.06 atm

Explanation:

For an ideal gas,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume occupied by the gas

n = number of moles of the gas

R = molar gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature of the gas in Kelvin

a) For HF,

P =?, V = 2.5L, n = 1.35 moles, T = 320K

P = 1.35 × 0.08206 × 320/2.5

P = 14.2 atm

b) For NO₂

P =?, V = 4.75L, n = 0.86 moles, T = 300K

P = 0.86 × 0.08206 × 300/4.75

P = 4.46 atm

c) For CO₂

P =?, V = 5.5 × 10⁴ mL = 55L, n = 2.15 moles, T = 57°C = 330K

P = 2.15 × 0.08206 × 330/55

P = 1.06 atm

A 2 kg stone is tied to a 0.5 m string and swung around a circle at a constant angular velocity of 12 rad/s. the angular momentu

Illusion [34]

Starting from the angular velocity, we can calculate the tangential velocity of the stone:
$v=\omega r= (12 rad/s)(0.5 m)= 6 m/s$

Then we can calculate the angular momentum of the stone about the center of the circle, given by
$L=mvr$
where
m is the stone mass
v its tangential velocity
r is the radius of the circle, that corresponds to the length of the string.

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
$L=(2 kg)(6 m/s)(0.5 m)=6 kg m^2 s^{-1}$
