Why is it misleading to describe atmospheric pressure as simply the weight of the air only pressing down on a surface?

Answers

Answer 1
Commonly when we talk about gases in science, we describe them as having the characteristics of a liquid. Imagine a rock in a bucket with liquid surrounding it. The liquid surrounds the rock and exerts pressure on it from all sides. Atmospheric pressure is much the same way. It surrounds the object and exerts pressure on it from all sides as well. Weight describes the force that gravity exerts on a mass whereas atmospheric pressure depends on the density of air at a certain point. If there were less air in our atmosphere (like Mars) the pressure would be much less and the opposite is true as well. However, the mass of a solid object would not change due to this change in air pressure and would weight the same regardless of the atmosphere.

A satellite revolves around a planet at an altitude equal to the radius of the planet. the force of gravitational interaction between the satellite and the planet is f0. then the satellite is brought back to the surface of the planet. find the new force of gravitational interaction f4. express your answer in terms of f0.

Answers

Let
M = the mass of the planet
n = the mass of the satellite.
r = the radius of the planet

When the satellite is at a distance r from the surface of the planet, the distance between the centers of the two masses is 2r.
The gravitational force between them is
[tex]f_{0} = \frac{GMm}{(2r)^{2}} = \frac{1}{4} ( \frac{GMm}{r^{2}} )[/tex]
where
G =  the gravitational constant.

When the satellite is on the surface of the planet, the distance between the two masses is r.
The gravitational force between them is
[tex]f_{4} = \frac{GMm}{r^{2}} =4f_{0}[/tex]

Answer:  [tex]f_{4} = 4f_{0}[/tex]

f4 is 4 times larger than f0 The force of gravity between two masses is F = G M1M2/r^2 where F = Force G = Gravitational constant M1 = Mass of object 1 M2 = Mass of object 2 r = distance between the center of masses of the objects. So in the first case, the satellite is at an altitude of r above the surface. But it's really at a distance of 2r from the center of mass of the planet. And in the second case, the situation is that it's at distance r from the center of mass of the planet. So we have: f0 = G M1M2/((2r)^2) = G M1M2/(4r^2) and f4 = G M1M2/r^2 Let's divide f4 by f0 (G M1M2/r^2) / G M1M2/(4r^2) = (G M1M2/r^2) * (4r^2)/(G M1M2) = (1/r^2) * (4r^2)/1 = (4r^2)/r^2 = 4/1 = 4 So f4 = f0 * 4

A source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 495 nm in air. when the light passes through a liquid, its wavelength reduces to 434 nm what is the liquid's index of refraction?
a. 1.14
b. 1.49
c. 2.03
d. 1.26
e. 1.33

Answers

By definition, the refractive index is
n = c/v
where c =  3 x 10⁸ m/s,  the speed of light in vacuum
v = the speed of light in the medium (the liquid).

The frequency of the light source is
f = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(495 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 6.0606 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Because the wavelength in the liquid is 434 nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹ m, 
v = (6.0606 x 10¹⁴ 1/s)*(434 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 2.6303 x 10⁸ m/s

The refractive index is (3 x 10⁸)/(2.6303 x 10⁸) = 1.1406

Answer:  a.  1.14
Final answer:

The liquid's index of refraction is approximately 1.88.

Explanation:

To find the index of refraction for the liquid, we can use the formula:

n₁ / n₂ = λ₁ / λ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the indices of refraction for air and the liquid, respectively, and λ₁ and λ₂ are the wavelengths of light in air and the liquid, respectively.

In this problem, we are given that the wavelength of light in air is 495 nm and the wavelength in the liquid is 434 nm. Plugging in these values, we get:

n₁ / n₂ = 495 nm / 434 nm

n₂ ≈ n₁ * (434 nm / 495 nm)

n₂ ≈ 1 * (434 nm / 495 nm)

n₂ ≈ 0.876

To convert the index of refraction to its decimal form, we add 1, giving us:

n₂ ≈ 0.876 + 1

n₂ ≈ 1.876

The liquid's index of refraction is approximately 1.876, which can be rounded to 1.88.

Answers

The mineral with Mohs hardness would be scratched because the mineral with Mohs 7 hardness is stronger than the Mohs 5 mineral. Eventually, that mineral would turn into dust if you kept rubbing it.

If a mineral with a Moh's hardness value of 7 is rubbed against the mineral with a value of 5, the mineral with value 5 get scratched with the mineral with hardness value 7.  

• A scale of relative mineral hardness invented by German scientist Mohs is known as the Mohs scale of hardness or Mohs scale.  

• It is a 10 point scale, with 10 given to mineral diamond as the most hardest mineral, which can scratch the minerals below it, that is, coming below it in the hardness scale.  

• The minerals coming in the 7 scale are Quartz, Citrine, Agate, and Amethyst, and the mineral coming in the 5 scale is apatite.  

• Thus, when one rubs the mineral with 7 hardness with a mineral with 5 hardness, than the mineral with 5 hardness will easily get scratched as it is less harder to the mineral in the 7 scale.  

Thus,  the mineral with value 5 get scratched with the mineral with hardness value 7.

Hd 10180g orbits with a period of 600 days at a distance of 1.4 au from its star. what is the ratio of the star's mass to our sun's mass?

Answers

Use the expression -

P²k = a³---(i)

Where P is time in years, a is in AU, k is the function of the Sun's mass and set to unity.

Further, we're looking for the mass of the new star we have slightly modified Kepler's Third Law. After all, the inverse of a constant is also a constant. The reason we do it is because we want an answer in the form of K:1, where K is the mass of the HD 10180 and the mass of the Sun is 1, so k needs to start out on the other side.

Convert 600 days in years = 600/365 = 1.64 years

Put this in the expression mentioned at (i) -

1.64²k = a³

You gave us a = 1.4 AU

1.64²k = 1.4³ ; isolating k

k = 1.4³/1.64²

k = 2.744/2.702 = 1.015

So, the requisite ratio = 1.015 : 1

 

The ratio of the star's mass to the sun's mass is about 1.02 : 1

Further explanation

Centripetal Acceleration can be formulated as follows:

[tex]\large {\boxed {a = \frac{ v^2 } { R } }[/tex]

a = Centripetal Acceleration ( m/s² )

v = Tangential Speed of Particle ( m/s )

R = Radius of Circular Motion ( m )

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

Centripetal Force can be formulated as follows:

[tex]\large {\boxed {F = m \frac{ v^2 } { R } }[/tex]

F = Centripetal Force ( m/s² )

m = mass of Particle ( kg )

v = Tangential Speed of Particle ( m/s )

R = Radius of Circular Motion ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

Given:

mass of the sun = M_sun = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg

radius of the orbit = R = 1.4 AU = 2.094 × 10¹¹ m

Orbital Period of planet = T = 600 days = 600 × 24 × 3600 = 5.184 × 10⁷ seconds

Asked:

mass of the star = M = ?

Solution:

Firstly , we will use this following formula to find the mass of the star:

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

[tex]G \frac{ Mm}{R^2}=m \omega^2 R[/tex]

[tex]G M = \omega^2 R^3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{GM}{R^3} = \omega^2[/tex]

[tex]\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{GM}{R^3}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2\pi}{T} = \sqrt{ \frac{GM}{R^3}}[/tex]

[tex]M = \frac{4 \pi^2 R^3}{GT^2}[/tex]

The normal boiling point of cyclohexane is 81.0 ℃. what is the vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 81.0 ℃?

Answers

The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the pressure of the vapor of the liquid is equivalent to the external atmospheric pressure surrounding the liquid. Therefore, the boiling point of the liquid is dependent on the atmospheric pressure.

Based on this, the vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 81 degrees celcius will be equal to atmospheric pressure (based on barometric readings)

Final answer:

The vapor pressure of cyclohexane at its normal boiling point of 81.0 ℃ is 101.3 kPa.

Explanation:

The question is asking for the vapor pressure of cyclohexane at its normal boiling point of 81.0 ℃. By definition, the normal boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the external atmospheric pressure at sea level, which is 101.3 kPa (or 1 atmosphere). Therefore, the vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 81.0 ℃ is 101.3 kPa.

A 150 n sled is being pulled up a 28 ° rough ramp at constant speed by a force of 100 n parallel to the ramp. with what acceleration will the crate slide down, if it is released at some point on the ramp?

Answers

the answer:

we can use newton's second law for finding the value of acceleration

that is    F=MxA
M the mass
A is the acceleration

F= P-Fk,  Fk= -Mgcosθμ and P=Mgsinθ
μ is the coefficient of friction

The value of μ can be found with the above condition
(pulled up a 28 ° rough ramp at constant speed)
this implies the acceleration is equal to zero
 100N - mgsin(28°) -mgcos(28°)μ = 0 , from where 
μ= [100N - mgsin(28°)] / mgcos(28°)
μ=0.2

and then, 
F=MxA= Mgsinθ -Mgcosθμ   finally  A=gsin28° -gcos28° x0.2 =2.6m/s²

Refer to the diagram shown below.

θ = 28°, the angle of the slope.
W = 150 N, the weight of the sled.
The normal reaction is
N = W cosθ = 150*cos(28) = 132.442 N
The component of the weight acting down the plane is
F = W sin θ = 150*sin(8) = 70.421 N

Case A; The sled is pulled up the slope.
Because the sled is in dynamic equilibrium, therefore
F + μN = 100
where μ = the kinetic coefficient of friction.
That is,
70.421 + 132.442μ = 100
μ = (100 - 70.421)/132.442 = 0.2233

Case B: The sled accelerates down the slope.
When the applied force of 100 N is removed, the sled accelerates down the slope due to its weight acting down the slope. The motion is opposed by kinetic friction.
That is,
Wsinθ - μWcosθ = ma
where
m = (150 N)/(9.8 m/s²) = 15.306 kg, the mass of the sled
a =  the acceleration of the sled

Therefore
70.421 - 0.2233*132.442 = 15.306*a
a = 40.8467/15.306 = 2.669 m/s²

In order to climb a steep hill on a bicycle, a rider shifts to the lowest gear. The lowest gear has the greatest mechanical advantage because it

Answers

because it uses petional energy

The lowest gear on a bicycle provides the greatest mechanical advantage by amplifying the force exerted on the pedals, requiring the rider to pedal more but with less effort per stroke, due to the conservation of energy.

In order to climb a steep hill on a bicycle, a rider shifts to the lowest gear. The lowest gear has the greatest mechanical advantage because it allows the rider to apply a force over a greater distance. When a gear with many teeth drives a gear with fewer teeth, the driven gear spins more times but with a smaller turning force, amplifying the force the rider exerts on the pedals.

However, this means the rider will have to spin the pedals more times to cover the same distance, which is a trade-off.

This concept of mechanical advantage applies to all machines and is governed by the conservation of energy, which states that work input is equal to work output, minus any losses due to inefficiency like friction.

A race car is moving with a velocity of 144 kilometers/hour. The driver applies the brakes, and the car comes to a halt in 12.0 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the car during those 12.0 seconds? –12.0 meters/second2

Answers

First, we need to convert the units of the given velocity to m/sec
144 km/hr = (144 km / hr) x (1000 m / 1 km) x (1 hr / 3600 s) = 40 m/s

Now, to solve this question, we can use one of the equations of motion:
 a = (Vf - Vi) / t where:
a is the acceleration we are looking for
Vf is the final velocity of the car = 0 m/sec
Vi is the initial velocity of the car = 40 m/sec
t is the time taken = 12 seconds

Substitute with these givens in the above equation to get the acceleration as follows:
a = (0-40)/12 = -3.334 m/s^2

A favorable entropy change occurs when δs is positive. what can be said about the order of the system when δs is positive?

Answers

Final answer:

A positive entropy change (delta S) indicates that the system has become less ordered, as there is an increase in the number of possible microstates. This is aligned with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that entropy increases in spontaneous processes, leading to greater disorder.

Explanation:

When a system undergoes a change and the entropy change (δS) is positive, this implies that the order of the system has decreased. This is because positive entropy reflects an increase in the number of microstates or possible configurations that the system can adopt, leading to a less ordered, more random state. A common example is the melting of a solid into a liquid where the rigid structure of the solid is lost, providing the particles more freedom to move in the liquid state, which translates into an increased entropy.

As per the Second Law of Thermodynamics, for all spontaneous processes in the real world, the change in entropy is positive (dδS > 0), which is consistent with the natural tendency for systems to move towards greater disorder and randomness. This concept is fundamental in predicting the spontaneous direction of chemical and physical processes. For instance, when a liquid freezes into a solid, the process is accompanied by a negative entropy change, signifying increased order in the system.

Final answer:

A positive entropy change (δS > 0) means that the order of the system has decreased, leading to a more disordered and randomized state with more microstates. This is in line with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which predicts that the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase in spontaneous processes.

Explanation:

When the entropy change (δS) is positive, it indicates that the order of the system has decreased. This is because a positive δS suggests that the number of microstates and, therefore, the randomness of the system has increased. For example, when a solid changes into a liquid, there is an increase in entropy because the liquid state allows the particles more freedom of movement and positioning, leading to a higher number of microstates compared to the solid state. If the process were reversed and the liquid turned into a solid, δS would be negative, signifying a decrease in entropy as the system becomes more ordered.

Furthermore, the Second Law of Thermodynamics asserts that for any spontaneous process, the entropy of an isolated system will increase. This means the system will move towards a state with more microstates or higher disorder. It aligns with the observation that in irreversible processes, entropy tends to increase, indicating a spontaneous change in an isolated system.

In conclusion, a positive entropy change (δS > 0) aligns with the expectation that there are more microstates available in the final state compared to the initial one, resulting in a decrease in the orderliness of the system. The increase in entropy reflects the fundamental tendency for systems to evolve towards states of higher disorder and randomness.

The magnitude of the frictional fore can be calculated only before estimating the ston’s acceleration. The initial speed of stone is mentioned in the problem as 3 m/s. Also, after 40m, the stone will stop. This means that its final speed is 0 m/s and the displacement is 40m.The acceleration of rock is calculated as:

(0 m/s)^2 = (3 m/s)^2 + 2a (40m).

9 m^2/s^2 = -2a(40m)

a= -9m^2/s^2/80m = 0.1 m/s^2.

This means that deceleration will occur and this will stop the stone. Substituting to Newton’s second law of motion,

-F = 20kg * -0.1 m/s^2. Further solve,

F = 20kg * 0.1 m/s^2 = 2N. Hence, the magnitude frictional force is 2N. 

Final answer:

In curling, the final position of the stone depends on its initial speed and the force of friction. Team members can use brooms to adjust the stone's speed and trajectory. The force of friction opposes the stone's motion.

Explanation:

In the winter sport of curling, the final position of the stone depends on the initial speed at which it is launched and the force of friction between the ice and the stone. Team members can use brooms to sweep the ice, which can adjust the stone's speed and trajectory. By judicious sweeping, they can lengthen the travel of the stone by a few meters. The force of friction between the ice and the stone will oppose the motion of the stone and slow it down.

The initial speed at which the stone is launched will determine how far it travels before coming to rest. If the stone is launched with a higher initial speed, it will travel a farther distance. The force of friction between the ice and the stone will also influence the distance the stone travels. A higher frictional force will cause the stone to slow down more quickly, resulting in a shorter travel distance.

A 20000 kg rocket has a rocket motor that generates 3.0×105 n of thrust. part a what is the rocket's initial upward acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

a=5.20 m/s²

Explanation:

Given Data

Thrust = T (N)=3.0×10⁵N

Mass=m=20000kg

To find

acceleration=a=?

Solution

Newton Second law states that

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

(resultant force F)=ma

a=(resultant force F)/m

where

(resultant force F) is (Thrust-weight)  

Weight = mg = 2.0^4 kg*9.8 N/kg = 1.96^5 N

a = (resultant force F) / mass

a = (T - mg)/m = (3.0^5 N - 1.96^5 N)/ 2.0^4 kg

a=5.20 m/s²

The rocket's initial upward acceleration is 5.2m/s²

According to Newton's second law of motion

[tex]\sum F = ma[/tex]

The sum of forces is the difference between the weight and the thrust

[tex]\sum F = T -W[/tex]

[tex]T - W = ma\\a=\frac{T-W}{a}[/tex]

Given the following parameters:

T = [tex]3.0 \times 10^5 N[/tex]

W = [tex]20,000 \times 9.8 = 1.96 \times 10^5 N[/tex]

m = [tex]20,000kg[/tex]

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:

[tex]a=\frac{(3.0-1.96)\times 10^5}{2\times 10^4} \\a=\frac{1.04\times 10^5}{2\times 10^4} \\a = 0.52 \tmes 10\\a = 5.2m/s^2[/tex]

Hence the rocket's initial upward acceleration is 5.2m/s²

How many revolutions does the object make during the first 3.9 s?

Answers

The area which is located under the curve gives us the angle in radians; we divide this by 2π to get units in revs (revolutions).


So for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2,

number of revs = 20rad/s * 2s * 1rev/2π rads = 6.37 revs 


So for 2 ≤ t ≤ 3.9,

number of revs = 10rad/s * 1.9s * 1rev/2πrads = 3.02 revs 

 

Therefore the total is about:

6.37 revs + 3.02 revs = 9.39 revs ≈ 9.4 revs

Final answer:

To answer how many revolutions an object makes in 3.9 seconds, we require knowledge of the object's constant angular velocity or angular acceleration. With the angular velocity, the total radians rotated can be found and divided by 2π to get the number of revolutions.

Explanation:

The question "How many revolutions does the object make during the first 3.9 s?" involves calculating the number of complete rotations or revolutions an object makes over a given period of time. In physics, this is often related to concepts of rotational motion, including angular velocity and angular acceleration. However, to calculate the number of revolutions over a certain time, we need to know either the constant angular velocity of the object, the angular acceleration, or another related quantity that would allow us to determine how the angle changes over time.

For example, if we know the angular velocity (ω) in radians per second (rad/s), we can calculate the number of revolutions by integrating the angular velocity over the given time period (3.9 s) or multiplying it by time if the angular velocity is constant. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can determine the total number of revolutions by dividing the total angle rotated (in radians) by 2π.

Which are the components of a typical refracting telescope? hints?

Answers

covex object and concave eyepiece.

The components of a typical refracting telescope are basically convex object and convex eyepiece. The correct option is 1.

A typical refracting telescope is made up of a series of convex lenses. The objective lens is a convex lens positioned at the front of the telescope that collects and focuses light from distant objects. At the focus point, it creates an inverted actual picture.

The eyepiece, which is located at the telescope's back end, is likewise a convex lens. Its goal is to amplify the picture created by the objective lens so that the viewer may see a bigger, upright, magnified image.

In a standard refracting telescope, the correct combination is a convex objective lens and a convex eyepiece.

Thus, the correct option is 1.

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 7.00 m/s. at a height of 155 m above the earth, a package is dropped from a window. how much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? [hint: the package's initial speed equals the helicopter's.]

Answers

Given:
u = 7.00m/s, the initial vertical velocity of the package.

Assume that g = 9.8 m/s².
Neglect air resistance.
All quantities are measured as positive upwards.

The height from which the package is dropped is 155 m above ground.
Let t = the time for the package to hit the ground.
Therefore
(7.00 m/s)*(t s) - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)² = (- 155 m)
4.9t² - 7t - 155 = 0
or
t² - 1.4286t - 31.6327  0
Solve with the quadratic formula.
t = (1/2)*[1.4286 +/- √(2.0409 + 126.5308)]
  = 6.384 s or - 4.955 s
Reject negative time.

Answer: 6.384 s

If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.500, what was the object's speed as you released it?

Answers

The solution for this problem is:
Look first for the time to fall 1.1 m = √ 2.2 / 9.8 = 0.475 s 

Then, look for the speed at edge = 0.5 / 0.475 = 1.055 m/s 

Afterwards, compute for energy lost = word done against friction = F . d = µmgd = 0.5 x 0.1 x9.8 x 1.1 = 0.539 J 

Then, compute for original energy = 0.539 + 1/2 x m x v^2 = 0.539 + (0.5 x 0.1 x 1.055^2) = 0. 595 J

Original speed = √ 2 E / m = √ 1.19 / 0.1 = 3.45 m/s
