Model the Earth's atmosphere as 79% N2, 19% O2, and 2% Argon, all of which are in thermal equilibrium at 280 K. At what height is the density of O half its value at sea level

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]9.495 \times 10^3\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the given information:

Using the equation of Barometric formula as related to density, we have:

[tex]\rho (z) = \rho (0) e^{(-\dfrac{z}{H})} \ \ \ \ --- (1)[/tex]

Here;

[tex]p(z) =[/tex] the gas density at altitude z

[tex]\rho(0) =[/tex] the gas density  at sea level

H = height of the scale

[tex]H = \dfrac{RT}{M_ag } \ \ \ --- (2)[/tex]

Also;

R represent the gas constant

temperature (T) a= 280 K

g = gravity

[tex]M_a =[/tex] molaar mass of gas; here, the gas is Oxygen:

[tex]M_a =[/tex] 15.99 g/mol

= 15.99 × 10⁻³ kg/mol

[tex]H = \dfrac{8.3144 \times 280}{15.99 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.8 }[/tex]

[tex]H =14856.43 \ m[/tex]

Now we need to figure out how far above sea level the density of oxygen drops to half of what it is at sea level.

This implies that we have to calculate z;

i.e. [tex]\rho(z) =\dfrac{\rho(0) }{(2)}[/tex]

By using the value of H and [tex]\rho(z)[/tex] from (1), we have:

[tex]\dfrac{\rho(0) }{(2)} = \rho (0) e^{(-\dfrac{z}{14856.43})}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2} = e^{(-\dfrac{z}{14856.43})} \\ \\ e^{(-\dfrac{z}{14856.43})} =\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

By rearrangement and taking the logarithm of the above equation; we have:

[tex]- z = 14856.43 \times \mathtt{In}\dfrac{1}{2} \\ \\ -z = 14856.43 \times (-0.6391) \\ \\ z = 9495 \ m \\ \\ z = 9.495 \times 10^3\ m[/tex]

As a result, the oxygen density at  [tex]9.495 \times 10^3\ m[/tex] is half of what it is at sea level.

A radioactive material produces 1160 decays per minute at one time, and 4.0 h later produces 170 decays per minute. whats the half life

Answers

Answer:

Half life is 3.23 hours

Explanation:

Given

Decay rate at starting = 1160 decays per minute

Decay rate after 4 hours = 170 decays per minute

As we know know

[tex]N = N_0 *e ^{\Lambda *T}[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we get -

[tex]170 = 1160 *e ^{-4*\Lambda}\\0.1465 = e ^{-4*\Lambda}\\-0.834 = -4 * \Lambda\\\Lambda = 0.834/4\\\Lambda = 0.2085[/tex]

Also

[tex]t_{1/2} = \frac{ln2}{\Lambda}[/tex]

Substituting the given values we get -

[tex]t_{1/2} = =0.693/0.2085\\= 3.23[/tex]hours

When this same spring-mass system oscillates vertically instead, the period is _______ seconds. Enter 2 significant figures (a total of three digits) and use g = 10.0 m/s2 if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

T = 0.71 seconds

Explanation:

Given data:

mass m = 1Kg, spring constant K = 78 N/m, time period of oscillation T = 0.71 seconds.

We have to calculate time period when this same spring-mass system oscillates vertically.

As we know

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }[/tex]

This relation of time period is true under every orientation of the spring-mass system, whether horizontal, vertical, angled or inclined. Therefore, time period of the same spring-mass system oscillating  vertically too remains the same.

Therefore, T = 0.71 seconds

What is a Planet?

An enormous, spherical celestial object known as a planet is neither a star nor its remains. The nebular hypothesis, which states how an interstellar cloud falls out of a nebula to produce a young protostar encircled by a protoplanetary disk, is now the best explanation for planet formation.

By gradually accumulating material under the influence of gravity, or accretion, planets develop in this disk.

The rocky planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, as well as the giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, make up the Solar System's minimum number of eight planets. These planets all revolve around axes that are inclined relative to their respective polar axes.

You and a friend are playing with a Coke can that you froze so it's solid to demonstrate some ideas of Rotational Physics. First, though, you want to calculate the Rotational Kinetic Energy of the can as it rolls down a sidewalk without slipping. This means it has both linear kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy. [The freezing only matters because if there is liquid inside, the calculation for the Moment of inertia becomes more complicated]. A Coke can can be modeled as a solid cylinder rotating about its axis through the center of the cylinder. This can has a mass of 0.33 kg and a radius of 3.20 cm. You'll need to look up the equation for the Moment of Inertia in your textbook. It is rotating with a linear velocity of 6.00 meters / second in the counter-clockwise (or positive) direction. You can use this to determine the angular velocity of the can (since it is rolling without slipping). What is the Total Kinetic Energy of the Coke can

Answers

Answer:

  K_{total} = 8.91 J

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to find the kinetic energy of the can of coca-cola

         K_total = K_ {Translation} + K_ {rotation}

the translational kinetic energy is

         K_ {translation} = ½ m v²

the kinetic energy of rotation is

         K_ {rotation} = ½ I w²

The moment of inertia of a cylinder is

           I = ½ m r²

we substitute

          K_ {total} = ½ m v² + ½ (½ m r²) w²

angular and linear velocity are related

          v = w r

we substitute

          K_ {total} = ½ m v² + ¼ m r² v² / r²

          K_ {total} = m v² (½ + ¼)

          K_ {total} = ¾ m v²

let's calculate

          K_ {total} = ¾ 0.33 6.00²

           K_{total} = 8.91 J

Actually Welcome to the concept of resistors,

The equivalent circuit is given as,

1/Rp = 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/9

1/Rp = 6+3+2/18

1/Rp = 11/18

Rp = 18/11 ==> 1.63 ==> 1.6 ohms

hence the equivalent resistance of the circuit is 1.6 ohms

The equivalent resistance of the circuit is 1.6Ω. The correct option is B.

What is Ohm’s law?

Ohm’s law state that ” At constant temperature, the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference(V) across the two endpoints of the given conductor.”

I.e V ∝ I

V=IR

Where V= potential difference across the conductor.

I = current flowing through the conductor.

R= constant pf proportionality i.e resistance which unit is ohm(Ω).

There are two ways we can connect the resistors.

(i) series connection

If a number of resistors are said to be connected in series When the same current (I) flows through them.

Let R1, R2, and R3 be the resistors connected in series.

Then the R equivalent is

Req=R1+R2+R3

(ii) parallel connection

A number of resistors are said to be connected in parallel when the same potential difference(V) exists across each of them.

Let R1, R2, and R3 be the resistors connected in parallel.

Then the R equivalent is

1/Req=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3

In this question,

The three resistance connected in parallel by applying the above formula we get,

1/Req=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3

1/Req = 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/9      .................  (∵R1=3Ω,R2=6Ω AND R3=9Ω)

1/Req =11/18

Req=18/11

Req=1.6363Ω

Req≈1.6Ω

Therefore, The equivalent resistance of the circuit is 1.6Ω.

Answer:

a) T = 1.69 s, b)  k = 0.825 N / m, c)  v = 1.46 feet/s, d) a = 5.41 ft / s²,

e)   v = - 1,319 ft / s,    a = - 2.70 ft / s², f) K = 4.8 10⁻³ J, U = 1.49 10⁻³ J

Explanation:

In a mass-spring system with simple harmonic motion, the angular velocity is

         w = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

a) find the period

angular velocity, frequency, and period are related

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

          f = 1 / T

          T = 1 / f

           T = 1 / 0.59

           T = 1.69 s

b) the spring constant

         w = 2π f

         w = 2π 0.59

         w = 3.70 rad / s

         w² = k / m

          k = w² m

          k = 3.70² 0.060

          k = 0.825 N / m

c) the maximum speed

simple harmonic movement is described by the expression

          x = A cos (wt + Ф)

speed is defined by

         v =[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

          v = -A w sin (wt + fi)

the speed is maximum when the cosine is ± 1

          v = A w

          v = 0.394 3.70

          v = 1.46 feet/s

d) maximum acceleration

            a = [tex]\frac{dv}{dt}[/tex]

            a = - A w² cos wt + fi

the acceleration is maximum when the cosine is ±1

            a = A w²

            a = 0.394 3.70²

            a = 5.41 ft / s²

e) velocity and acceleration for x = 6 cm

let's reduce the cm to feet

            x = 6 cm (1 foot / 30.48 cm) = 0.1969 foot

Before doing this part we must find the phase angle (Ф), the most common way to start the movement is to move the spring a small distance and release it, so its initial speed is zero for t = 0 s

let's use the expression for the velocity

           v = -A w sin (0 + Фi)

           0 = - A w sin Ф

so sin Ф = 0 which implies that Фi = 0

the equation of motion is

            x = A cos wt

            x = 0.394 cos 3.70t

we substitute

           0.1969 = 0.394 cos 370t

           3.70 t = cos⁻¹ (0.1969 / 0.394)

let's not forget that the angle is in radians

           3.70, t = 1.047

           t = 1.047 / 3.70

           t = 0.2826 s

we substitute this time in the equation for velocity and acceleration

           v = - Aw sin wt

           v = - 0.394 3.70 sin 3.70 0.2826

           v = - 1,319 ft / s

           a = - A w² cos wt

           a = - 0.394 3.70² cos 3.70 0.2826

           a = - 2.70 ft / s²

f) the kinetic and potential energy at this point

           K = ½ m v²

let's slow down to the SI system

           v = 1.319 ft / s (1 m / 3.28 ft) = 0.402 m / s

           

           K = ½ 0.060 0.402²

           K = 4.8 10⁻³ J

           U = ½ k x²

           U = ½ 0.825 0.06²

           U = 1.49 10⁻³ J
