Explanation:
The particles of a GAS within a closed container will collide with the container walls, exerting a FORCE. The force per unit of AREA is known as what?
Answer:
Pressure
Explanation:
One of the theories propounded by the Kinetic molecular theory, and which also provides an explanation of the several gas laws, is the statement that the gas molecules in a container, travel in straight lines and are in constant collision with themselves and the walls of the container, thus exerting force. This force is the pressure which is defined as the force per unit area.
There is no loss of energy in the collisions involving the gas molecules and that is why their movement can be described as elastic. The descriptions of the behavior of gas molecules in the Kinetic Molecular Theory, give rise to Charles law, Boyle's Law, Avogadro's Laws, Dalton's Law, and Amonton's Law.
Answer:
The pressure
Explanation:
Molecules of gases are constantly in motion, colliding with the walls of their container. This constant collision impacts force on the walls of the container, which depends on the speed with which the molecules are moving. The speed with which these molecules travel depends on the average kinetic energy of the molecules, which is proportional to the temperature.
This force when exerted per unit area is the pressure the gases exert on the walls of the container.

John owns a used 2003 mustang Mach 1, he spots a news crew with a bunch of people what should he do? A) Rev his engine at the highest RPM B) Do a burnout C) Drive near the Crowd and drop a gear and hurl into the crowd D) ALL OF THE ABOVE
Each of the three choices is tasteless, exhibitionist, juvenile, and dangerous. John should do none of them.
Encountering a news crew, there's no reason for John to call attention to himself in a childish way, or interfere with their work in any way.
What he should do is:
==> Slow down
==> Pass the scene cautiously
==> Resume his normal, legal speed quietly, in case the crew happens to be recording audio at the moment.

"For a first order instrument with a sensitivity of .4 mV/K and a time" constant of 25 ms, find the instrument’s response as a function of time for a sudden temperature increase from 273 K to 473 K. Before the temperature increase, the instrument output was a steady 109.2 mV. Plot the response y(t) as a function of time. What are the units for y(t)? Find the 90% rise time for y(t90) and the error fraction, Γ(t90).
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
For a first order instrument with a sensitivity of .4 mV/K
constant c = 25 ms = 25 × 10⁻³ s
The initial temperature [tex]T_1[/tex] = 273 K
The final temperature [tex]T_2[/tex] = 473 K
The initial volume = 0.4 mV/K × 273 K = 109.2 V
The final volume = 0.4 mV/K × 473 K = 189.2 V
the instrument’s response as a function of time for a sudden temperature increase can be computed as follows:
Let consider y to be the function of time i.e y(t).
So;
y(t) = 109.2 + (189.2 - 109.2)( 1 - [tex]\mathbf{e^{-t/c}}[/tex])mV
y(t) = (109.2 + 80 ( 1 - [tex]\mathbf{e^{t/25\times 10^{-3}}}[/tex])) mV
Plot the response y(t) as a function of time.
The plot of y(t) as a function of time can be seen in the diagram attached below.
What are the units for y(t)?
The unit for y(t) is mV.
Find the 90% rise time for y(t90) and the error fraction,
The 90% rise time for y(t90) is as follows:
Initially 90% of 189.2 mV = 0.9 × 189.2 mV
= 170.28 mV
170.28 mV = (109.2 + 80 ( 1 - [tex]\mathbf{e^{t/25\times 10^{-3}}}[/tex])) mV
170.28 mV - 109.2 mV = 80 ( 1 - [tex]\mathbf{e^{t/25\times 10^{-3}}}[/tex])) mV
61.08 mV = 80 ( 1 - [tex]\mathbf{e^{t/25\times 10^{-3}}}[/tex])) mV
0.7635 mV = ( 1 - [tex]\mathbf{e^{t/25\times 10^{-3}}}[/tex])) mV
t = 1.44 × 25 × 10⁻³ s
t = 0.036 s
t = 36 ms
The error fraction = [tex]\dfrac{189.2-170.28 }{189.2}[/tex]
The error fraction = 0.1
The error fraction = 10%
A stone is dropped from the same height at Terai and at the top of the
mountain. Where does it fall faster? Why?
Answer:
It will fall at the same speed in both locations
Explanation:
When an object is falling, it is accelerated to the same degree irrespective of the height from which it is falling.
All objects on the earth's surface experience an acceleration due to gravity. This acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects irrespective of their height or mass.
Hence for a stone dropped from the same height as Terai and the top of a mountain, the acceleration due to gravity is the same in both cases hence they will fall at the same speed.
i)Distinguish between different methods of charging. ii) You are provided with a positively charged gold leaf electroscope. State and explain what happens when a. a glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the disc of electroscope. b. an ebonite rod rubbed with fur is brought near the disc of electroscope. c. an uncharged metal rod is brought near the disc of electroscope d. a glass rod rubbed with silk is rolled on the disc of electroscope.
Answer:
Explanation:
On rubbing a glass rod with silk, the electrons from the glass rod get transferred to the silk. The silk now has an excess of electrons and so is negatively-charged. On the other hand, the glass rod is deficient in electrons and hence is positively-charged.
In the above case, the silk undergoes negative electrification.
Now, when the positively charged glass rod is touched on the disc of a negatively charged gold leaf electroscope, the electrons shifts towards rod, hence amount of charge on gold leaves decreases and the divergence between the gold leaves decreases as unlike charges attract each other.
Hence, the divergence decreases when a glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the disc of negatively charged electroscope.

On which factor mechanical advantage of simple machine depend on? Please help me and perfect answer will be brainlest answer.
Answer:
The factor that determines the mechanical advantage (or ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) - in the absence of frictional forces) in a simple machine is the ratio perpendicular distance of the applied force to the fulcrum to the perpendicular distance of the load to the fulcrum
The mechanical advantage can therefore by larger than 1 (requiring less force per load), or equal to 1 (effort equal to load) or less than 1( effort more than load)

A gauge is reading the pressure at the bottom of a river, at a depth of 6 m. Would the reading be greater or smaller than the reading at the bottom of a lake at the same depth? You must provide a clear explanation for full credit.
Answer:
The pressure at the bottom of the river is less than that at the bottom of the lake.
Explanation:
From Bernoulli's equation, the pressure difference is given by
ΔP = ρgΔh + ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2 where ρ = density of water, g = acceleration due to gravity, Δh = depth, v₁ = velocity at top, v₂ = velocity at bottom
For the lake, v₁ = v₂, since the velocity at the top and bottom are the same. So,
ΔP₁ = ρgΔh + ρ(v₁² - v₁²)/2 = ρgΔh + 0 = ρgΔh
P₂ - P₁ = ρgΔh
P₂ = P₁ + ρgΔh
For the river, v₁ < v₂, since the velocity at the top of the river is greater than at the bottom.
So,
ΔP₂ = ρgΔh + ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2.
Since v₁ < v₂, ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2 will be negative,
So,
ΔP₂ = ρgΔh - ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2.
Since ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2 is negative, making ΔP less than that in the lake.
So, ΔP₂ = ΔP₁ - ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2.
ΔP₂ = P₃ - P₁
P₃ - P₁ = P₂ - P₁ - ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2.
P₃ = P₂ - ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2.
where P₃ = pressure at bottom of the river and P₂ = pressure at bottom of the lake and P₁ = atmospheric pressure at top of river and lake respectively.
Since the factor ρ(v₂² - v₁²)/2 is removed from the pressure at the bottom of the lake, the pressure at the bottom of the river is therefore less than that at the bottom of the lake.

A disk-shaped dough is initially spinning at 2 rotations per second (1 rotation = 360°). As time goes on, it slowly deforms, and is now spinning at a different angular speed. The dough changed radius from 16 cm to 17 cm, and its mass remained constant throughout. What is its final angular speed in degrees/s?
Answer:
10.44° per sec
Explanation:
Initial angular speed N = 2 rotations per minute
converting to rad/s ω = 2πN/60 = (2 x 3.142 x 2)/60 = 0.21 rad/s
the initial radius of the disk = 16 cm = 0.16 m
final radius = 17 cm = 0.17 m
Angular momentum = [tex]I[/tex]ω
where [tex]I[/tex] = rotational inertia = mass x [tex]radius^{2}[/tex]
ω = angular speed
For the initial case
[tex]I[/tex] = m x [tex]0.16^{2}[/tex] = 0.0256m
Angular momentum = 0.0256m x 0.21 = 0.0054m
For second case
[tex]I[/tex] = m x [tex]0.17^{2}[/tex] = 0.0289m
Angular momentum = 0.0289m x ω = 0.0289mω
For conservation of rotational momentum, initial angular momentum must be equal to the final angular momentum
0.0054m = 0.0289mω
m cancels out, we have
0.0054 = 0.0289ω
ω = 0.187 rad/s
converting back to rpm, we have
N = 0.187/2π = 0.029 rotations per sec
0.029 x 360 = 10.44° per sec

A stationary siren creates an 894 Hz
sound. When a motorcyclist is driving
toward it, she hears a 926 Hz sound
How fast is she driving?
(Speed of sound = 343 m/s)
(Unit = m/s)
Answer:
12.3 m/s
Explanation:
The Doppler equation describes how sound frequency depends on relative velocities:
fr = fs (c + vr)/(c + vs),
where fr is the frequency heard by the receiver,
fs is the frequency emitted at the source,
c is the speed of sound,
vr is the velocity of the receiver,
and vs is the velocity of the source.
Note: vr is positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative if away.
Conversely, vs is positive if the receiver is moving away from the source, and negative if towards.
Given:
fs = 894 Hz
fr = 926 Hz
c = 343 m/s
vs = 0 m/s
Find: vr
926 = 894 (343 + vr) / (343 + 0)
vr = 12.3
The speed of the car is 12.3 m/s.

The rhinestones in costume jewelry are glass with index of refraction 1.50. To make them more reflective, they are often coated with a layer of silicon monoxide of index of refraction 2.00. What is the minimum coating thickness needed to ensure that light of wavelength 480 nm and of perpendicular incidence will be reflected from the two surfaces of the coating with fully constructive interference?
Answer:
60
Explanation:
According to the given question, the computation of minimum coating thickness is shown below:-
The condition for constructive interference is
[tex]2t_{min} = (m + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}[/tex]
[tex]= (0 + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{\lambda}{4n}[/tex]
Now we will put the values to the above formula to reach the answer
[tex]= \frac{480nm}{4\times 2.0}[/tex]
= 60
Therefore we simply applied the above formula to determine the minimum coating thickness
The minimum coating thickness needed to ensure that light of wavelength 480 nm and of perpendicular incidence will be reflected from the two surfaces of the coating with fully constructive interference is 60.
Given that, the index of refraction of glass is 1.50 and the index of refraction of silicon monoxide is 2.00. The wavelength light of 480 nm.
If [tex]\lambda {c}[/tex] is the wavelength in the coating and λ is the wavelength in vacuum, then [tex]\lambda_{c} = \dfrac {\lambda}{n}[/tex] where n is the index of refraction of the coating.
Thus, the minimum coating thickness [tex]T_{min}[/tex] can be calculated as,
[tex]2T_{min} = (m+\dfrac {1}{2})\times\dfrac {\lambda} {n}\\\\T_{min} = (m+\dfrac {1}{2}) \times\dfrac {\lambda} {2n}[/tex].
For the constructive interference, m = 0.
So [tex]T_{min} = \dfrac {\lambda} {4n}[/tex]
[tex]T_{min} = \dfrac {480\rm nm} {4\times2.0}[/tex]
[tex]T_{min} = 60[/tex]
The minimum coating thickness needed to ensure that light of wavelength 480 nm and of perpendicular incidence will be reflected from the two surfaces of the coating with fully constructive interference is 60.

3) An earth moving machine uses diesel oil, which when burnt will produce 3.0x10 9 J of energy. The work performed by the machine is 2.7x 10 8 J. What is the efficiency of the machine?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The efficiency of a machine is the ratio of its output to its input. The efficiency shows how effective the machine by the way it converts the input energy into work. The higher the efficiency of the machine the more effective it is. The efficiency is usually less than 1.
Given that the machine uses diesel oil (input) that can produce 3.0 x 10⁹ J of energy while the work performed by the machine (output) is 2.7 x 10⁸ J. The efficiency is given as:
Efficiency = output / input = 2.7 x 10⁸ J / 3.0 x 10⁹ J = 0.09 = 9%
This means that the machine is not effective because of its low efficiency
