A droplet of liquid nitrogen is present in a tube sealed at very low temperature. What will the nitrogen pressure in the tube be when it is warmed to ? Assume the nitrogen behaves as an ideal gas. The molar mass of nitrogen () is . (, )
The only elastic modulus that applies to liquids is:
Bulk modulus
Young's modulus
Shear modulus
Tensile modulus
If a sealed container of liquid and a sealed container of gas are both subjected to a significant increase in external pressure, analyze which substance would experience a more substantial percentage change in volume and explain why.
The liquid, because its molecules are already close, resisting further compression more effectively.
The gas, because its molecules are widely spaced, allowing for greater compression.
Both would experience the same percentage change in volume due to uniform pressure distribution.
Neither would experience a significant change as they are in sealed containers.
Calculate the work done by a system if of heat is added to it and the change in internal energy of the system is .
Convert an average human temperature of to Celsius.
Which statement accurately describes the motion of particles in a transverse wave compared to a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, particles move parallel to the wave direction, while in a longitudinal wave, they move perpendicular.
In a transverse wave, particles move perpendicular to the wave direction, while in a longitudinal wave, they move parallel.
Particles in both wave types move randomly relative to the wave direction.
Particles in both wave types remain stationary, only transferring energy.
