You and your younger brother are designing an air rifle that will shoot a lead pellet with mass m = 1.00 g and cross-sectional area a = 0.0450 cm2. the rifle works by allowing high-pressure air to expand, propelling the pellet down the rifle barrel. because this process happens very quickly, no appreciable thermal conduction occurs and the expansion is essentially adiabatic. your design is such that, once the pressure begins pushing on the pellet, it moves a distance of l = 45.0 cm before leaving the open end of the rifle at your desired speed of v = 140 m/s. your design also includes a chamber of volume v = 15.0 cm3 in which the high-pressure air is stored until it is released. your brother reminds you that you need to purchase a pump to pressurize the chamber. to determine what kind of pump to buy, you need to find what the pressure of the air must be in the chamber (in pa) to achieve your desired muzzle speed. ignore the effects of the air in front of the bullet and friction with the inside walls of the barrel. (assume that air is diatomic.)

Awind turbine is initially spinning at a constant angular speed. as the wind's strength gradually increases, the turbine experiences a constant angular acceleration 0.173 rad/s2. after making 2870 revolutions, its angular speed is 132 rad/s. (a) what is the initial angular velocity of the turbine? (b) how much time elapses while the turbine is speeding up?

Two horses begin at rest. after a few seconds, horse a is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s west, while horse b is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s west. which horse had a greater acceleration? a. horse a because its change in velocity was greater than horse b's in the same time. b. horse b because its change in velocity was greater than horse a's in the same time. c. horse b because its change in velocity was the same as horse a's, but it took less time. d. both horses had the same acceleration.

Asmall electric heater, immersed in 80g of water in a calorimeter of 40j/k raises the temperature from 10.5 degree celsius to 25 degree celsius in 12 minutes. using the same apparatus with 50g of oil instead of water, it is found that the temperature of oil rises from 7 degree celsius to 27 degree celsius in 10 minutes. find specific heat capacity of the oil.
