- In 2085, your company wins a contract to deliver oxygen to several asteroid-based habitats from another asteroid with plenty of oxygen locked up in ice. Since there is no drag in space, the size of the oxygen containers is not an issue, and the most economical method turns out to be to enclose about 6 x 105 kilograms of cold but gaseous oxygen at about half atmospheric pressure in a Mylar sphere 100 m in diameter. To the sphere, you have strapped a small rocket engine. While the engine is firing, the engine presses into the sphere roughly 10 meters, like a finger pushing in on a balloon, as the sphere accelerates. The engine exerts a constant thrust until the sphere reaches its interasteroidal cruising speed of 100 m/s. The sphere travels about 5.0 km while the engine is firing. What fraction of the energy the rocket engine has given to the sphere ends up as internal energy in the gas just before the engine shuts off?arrow_forwardA chemistry graduate student is designing a pressure vessel for an experiment. The vessel will contain gases at pressures up to 150.0 MPa. The student's design calls for an observation port on the side of the vessel (see diagram below). The bolts that hold the cover of this port onto the vessel can safely withstand a force of 2.80 MN. W 0 -pressure vessel cm bolts port Calculate the maximum safe diameter w of the port. Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 cm. zide TO 0.P d 220arrow_forwardYou were told not to stand so close to a rapidly moving train because you might get sucked under it. What do you think will likely happen to you? Select one: The moving train could actually suck anybody closer to it. The moving train could be out of its way and will hit you. Greater pressure behind you will push you toward the moving train. Greater pressure between you and the train will pull you toward the train.arrow_forward
- You fill a balloon with helium and let it go. It floats up into the air, where it is essentially floating in a pool of air. Why does the helium filled balloon float in air? Make sure you use the words ‘buoyancy’, ‘density’ and ‘volume of displaced ‘air’ in answering this question.arrow_forwardAn aquarium 11m long, 2m wide, and 9m deep is full of water. The density of water is 1000kg/m3 and the force of gravity is 9.8m/s2 a) Find the work needed to pump all of the water out of the aquarium b) Find the work needed to pump half of the water out of the aquarium.arrow_forwardOn a particle level, what two factors contribute to an increase in pressure in a constant volume closed vessel when temperature is raised? (Choose 2 answers.) particles hit the walls of the container with more force particles hit the walls of the container less often particles hit the walls of the container more often particles hit each other more often particles hit the walls of the container with less forcearrow_forward
