Get started for freeThe gauge pressure in a helium gas cylinder is initially 32 atm. After many balloons have been blown up, the gauge pressure has decreased to 5 atm. What fraction of the original gas remains in the cylinder?
In outer space, the density of matter is about one atom per cm3, mainly hydrogen atoms, and the temperature is about 2.7 K. Calculate the RMSspeed of these hydrogen atoms and the pressure (in atmospheres).
A Pyrex measuring cup was calibrated at normal room temperature. How much error will be made in a recipe calling for 375 mL of cool water, if the water and the cup are hot, at 95ยฐC, instead of at room temperature? Neglect the glass expansion.
Question 17: Escape velocity from the Earth refers to the minimum speed an object must have to leave the Earth and never return. (a) The escape velocity from the Moon is about one-fifth what it is for the Earth, due to the Moonโs smaller mass. Explain why the Moon has practically no atmosphere. (b) If hydrogen was once in the Earthโs atmosphere, why would it have probably escaped?
