PV = mRT is the characteristic gas equation. When P = 100 × 10³, V = 4.0, R = 288, and T = 300, what is the value of m?
- 4.630
- 313600
- 0.216
- 100592
Correct Answer

A. 4.630

Explanation

The given equation is PV = mRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, R is the gas constant, T is temperature, and m is the molar mass. In this question, we are given P = 100 × 10^3, V = 4.0, R = 288, and T = 300. To find the value of m, we rearrange the equation as m = PV / RT. Substituting the given values, we get m = (100 × 10^3 × 4.0) / (288 × 300) = 4.630. Therefore, the value of m is 4.630.

A formula used for calculating the resistance of a cable is R = ρl/a . A cable’s resistance R = 0.50 ohms, its length l is 5000 m and its cross-sectional area a is 4 × 10-⁴ m². The resistivity ρ of the material is:
- 6.25 x 10⁷ ohms m
- 4 x 10^-8 ohms m
- 2.5 x 10⁷ ohms m
- 3.2 x 10^-7ohms m
Correct Answer

A. 4 x 10^-8 ohms m

Explanation

The formula for resistance of a cable is R = ρl/a, where R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity of the material, l is the length of the cable, and a is the cross-sectional area of the cable. In this question, the resistance R is given as 0.50 ohms, the length l is 5000 m, and the cross-sectional area a is 4 x 10-⁴ m². Plugging these values into the formula, we can solve for ρ. The correct answer is 4 x 10-8 ohms m, which is the only option that gives the correct value for ρ when substituted into the formula.

Transposing I = V/R for resistance R gives
- I-V
- V-I
- I/V
- VI
Correct Answer

A. V-I

Explanation

The given equation, I = V/R, represents Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is equal to the voltage (V) across the conductor divided by the resistance (R) of the conductor. To transpose this equation for resistance (R), we can rearrange it as R = V/I. Therefore, the correct answer is V-I.

The formula for a focal length f of a convex lens is 1/f = 1/u + 1/v, where f = 4 and u = 6, v is
- -2
- 1/12
- 12
- -1/2
Correct Answer

A. 12

Explanation

The formula for a focal length of a convex lens states that 1/f = 1/u + 1/v, where f is the focal length, u is the object distance, and v is the image distance. In this question, the given values are f = 4 and u = 6. By substituting these values into the formula, we can solve for v. Rearranging the formula, we get 1/v = 1/f - 1/u. Plugging in the given values, we have 1/v = 1/4 - 1/6. Simplifying this expression gives us 1/v = 3/12 - 2/12 = 1/12. Therefore, the value of v is 1/12.

Volume = mass/density, the density in (kg/m³) when mass is 2.532kg and volume is 162cm³ is:
- 0.01563kg/m³
- 410.2kg/m³
- 15630kg/m³
- 64.0kg/m³
Correct Answer

A. 15630kg/m³

Explanation

The given formula for density is density = mass/volume. To find the density, we need to divide the given mass of 2.532kg by the volume of 162cm³. However, since the volume is given in cm³, we need to convert it to m³ by dividing by 100³. The result is 0.00162m³. Dividing the mass by the converted volume gives us a density of approximately 15630kg/m³.

Current I in an electrical circuit is given by I = E − e/ R + r. Transposing for R gives:
- (E - e - Ir)/I
- (E - e)/(I + r)
- (E - e)(I + r)
- (E - e)/Ir
Correct Answer

A. (E - e - Ir)/I

Explanation

The correct answer is (E - e - Ir)/I. This is the correct transposition of the given equation. In order to solve for R, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. By subtracting e and Ir from both sides and then dividing by I, we obtain the correct expression for R.

The current i amperes flowing in a capacitor at time t seconds is given by i = 10(1 − e^−t/CR), where resistance R is 25 × 10³ ohms and capacitance C is 16 × 10^−6 farads. When current i reaches 7 amperes, the time t is:
- -0.48s
- 0.14s
- 0.21s
- 0.48s
Correct Answer

A. 0.48s

Explanation

The given equation represents the current in a capacitor as a function of time. To find the time at which the current reaches 7 amperes, we can substitute i = 7 into the equation and solve for t.

7 = 10(1 - e^(-t/CR))

Dividing both sides by 10:

0.7 = 1 - e^(-t/CR)

Rearranging the equation:

e^(-t/CR) = 1 - 0.7

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides:

-t/CR = ln(0.3)

Solving for t:

t = -CR * ln(0.3)

Substituting the given values for R and C:

t = - (25 * 10^3) * (16 * 10^(-6)) * ln(0.3)

Calculating the value:

t ≈ 0.48s

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.48s.

Transposing t = 2π √l/g for g gives:
- (t − 2π)² / l
- (2π/ t) l²
- (√t/2π) / l
- 4π²l / t²
Correct Answer

A. 4π²l / t²

Explanation

The given expression is t = 2π√l/g. To transpose the equation for g, we need to isolate g on one side of the equation. By rearranging the equation, we can get g = 4π²l/t². This can be done by squaring both sides of the equation, then multiplying both sides by l, and finally dividing both sides by t². Therefore, the correct answer is 4π²l / t².
