n ideal gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable piston on top of it. The piston has a mass of 8,000 g and an area of 5.00 cm2 and is free to slide up and down, keeping the pressure of the gas constant. (a) How much work is done on the gas as the temperature of 0.180 mol of the gas is raised from 30.0°C to 325°C?

A 1300 kg aircraft going 35 m/s collides with a 1500 kg aircraft that is parked and they stick together after the collision and are going 16.3 m/s after the collision. If they skid for 14.3 seconds before stopping, how far did they skid? Hint: Are the aircraft moving at a constant velocity after the collision or do they experience an acceleration?

During a relay race, you run the first leg of the race, a distance of 1.8 ✕ 102 m to the north, in 22.34 s. You then run the same distance back to the south in 24.20 s in the second leg of the race. Suppose the positive y axis points to the north. (Express your answers in vector form). (a) What is your average velocity for the first leg of the relay race? vav, y = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. m/s (b) What is your average velocity for the entire race? vav, y = Correct: Your answer is correct. m/s

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headlights that are 0.621m apart. At what distance, in kilometers, are you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source? Take the wavelength of the light to be 559nm and your pupil diameter to be 4.69mm. Answer in km!

In the figure, a thin horizontal bar AB of negligible weight and length L = 3.2 m is hinged to a vertical wall at A and supported at B by a thin wire BC that makes an angle θ = 40° with the horizontal. A block of weight W = 140 N can be moved anywhere along the bar; its position is defined by the distance x = 2.07 m from the wall to its center of mass. Find (a) the tension in the wire, and the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force on the bar from the hinge at A.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient's artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104 Pa , while in the region of blockage it is 1.15×104 Pa . Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 27.5 cm/s , and the specific gravity of this patient's blood is 1.06.
Part A: What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient's artery is blocked by the plaque?
