Question:
Consider a sample of helium gas in a container fitted with a piston as pictured below. The piston is frictionless, but has a mass of 10.0 kg. How many of the following processes will cause the piston to move away from the base and decrease the pressure of the gas? Assume ideal behavior.
I. Heating the helium. II.
II. toRemoving some of the helium from the container.
III. Turning the container on its side.
IV. Decreasing the pressure outside the container.
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
e) 4
Answer:
Only one process will cause the piston to move which is
i) Heating the helium
Explanation:
When helium is heated it becomes less dense or lighter. Heating the helium will cause an increase in volume which will make the piston to move away from the base. When the volume finishes increasing, the piston will stop moving which in turn will make the forces on both sides of the piston balanced, so the pressure inside will balance the weight of the piston and that of the atmosphere. From that we can see that there has been a pressure change as a result of heating.
Answer:
Explanation:
The resistance of a wire is given by:
where
is the resistivity of the material
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
1) The first wire has length L and cross-sectional area A. So, its resistance is:
2) The second wire has length twice the first one: 2L, and same thickness, A. So its resistance is
3) The third wire has length L (as the first one), but twice cross sectional area, 2A. So, its resistance is
By comparing the three expressions, we find
So, this is the ranking of the wire from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance).
The initial velocity of a car that accelerates at a constant rate of 3m/s² for 5 seconds is 12m/s.
CALCULATE INITIAL VELOCITY:
The initial velocity of the car can be calculated by using one of the equation of motion as follows:
V = u + at
Where;
- V = final velocity (m/s)
- u = initial velocity (m/s)
- a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
- t = time (s)
According to this question, a car accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s² for 5 seconds. If it reaches a velocity of 27 m/s, its initial velocity is calculated as follows:
u = v - at
u = 27 - 3(5)
u = 27 - 15
u = 12m/s.
Therefore, the initial velocity of a car that accelerates at a constant rate of 3m/s² for 5 seconds is 12m/s.

It is true because <span>A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the amount of energy contained in biomass, at different trophic levels for a given point in time . The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels. Tree is a base as it provides food and energy.</span>
