A spherical balloon is filled with helium atoms (Note: 1 atm = 101.3 kPa).
What is the total translational KE of the atoms if the balloon has a diameter 26.0 cm at 46.0 °C and the pressure inside the balloon is 121.6 kPa?
The answer is 1680J but I can't get it.
I used KE=3/2kT (in...
A glass beaker of volume V = 1.90 L is filled with turpentine when the temperature is T1 = 11.0 °C. The linear expansion coefficient for glass is αglass = 9.13 × 10–6 K–1 and the volumetric expansion coefficient for turpentine is βturpentine = 9.72 × 10–4 K–1. How much turpentine will overflow...
A submarine has run into trouble and is stuck at the bottom of the ocean. Several people are on board and must make their way to the surface without any diving gear. The air pressure aboard the submarine is 3.500 atm. The air temperature inside the submarine is 17.52 °C and you can take body...
Oh, never mind. I was doing the right thing but I didn't know you had to set your calculator to radians. Thanks, anyway.
Hmm, but I still don't know how to do the next bit. Do I have to use the equation again? It doesn't look like I can...
The question is:
A 56.0 kg bungy-jumper hangs suspended from her bungy-cord, at rest. She is displaced from this position by 15.0 m downward, and then released. She bounces up and down, with a period of 5.800 s. Assume the woman undergoes simple harmonic motion, described by
y(t) = X cos(2...
A police car is traveling at a constant speed of 100. km/h with a radar gun which generates and detects radiowaves. The police car and the ambulance drive directly towards each other. The radar gun produces radiowaves with a wavelength of 0.0650 m.
What doppler shift (Δf = f′–f) is detected...
I've been trying to do the following question but I can't get the right answer. Also, I put in the wrong thread title but I don't know how to change it (sorry).
An ambulance is at rest in a traffic jam in front of an intersection. At that moment, Jim is driving his car at 88.0 km/h through the...
A 2.00 m deep swimming pool is equipped with a wave generator that sends sinusoidal waves across the pool. The equation which gives the water depth, h(x,t), some distance x from the wave generator at any time t is:
h(x,t) = 2.00 m + H cos[ 2π [ t/(4.900 s) − x/(0.4000 m) ] − 5π/4 ]
where H =...
