A given mass of gas has a pressure of 80 Nm2 at a temperature of 47 C. If the temperature is reduced to 27 C with volume remaining constant, the new pressure is?

A.

46.0 Nm2

B.

75.0 Nm2

C.

80.0 Nm2

D.

85.3 Nm2

Correct answer is B

Using P1T1=P2T2

P1 = 80Nm2
T1 = 47 + 273 = 320k
T2 = 27 + 273 = 300k
P2?

= P_{2} = \frac{P_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}}

= \frac{80 \times 300}{320} = 75.Nm^{2}

A transverse pulse of frequency 9 Hz traves 4.5m in 0.6 s. Calculate the wavelength of the pulse.

A.

3.33 m

B.

0.30 m

C.

0.83 m

D.

1.20 m

Correct answer is C

Wavelength (\alpha) = \frac{Velocity (V)}{Frequency (f)}

Velocity = \frac{Distance}{Time} = \frac{4.5}{0.6}

= \frac{7.5}{9.0}

= 0.83m
