Solution
The volume of 0.354g of helium at 273^\circC and 114cmhg of mercury pressure is 2667cm\(^3\). Calculate the volume at STP.
A
2000.25 cm\(^3\)
B
200.025 cm\(^3\)
C
4003.27 cm\(^3\)
D
2010.25 cm\(^3\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
m = 0.354g, T\(_1\) = 273^\circC = 273 + 273 = 546K
P\(_1\) = 114cmHg, V\(_1\) = 2667cm\(^3\) at STP
T\(^2\) = 273K, P\(_2\) = 76cmHg, V\(_2\) = ?
\(\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_1}\)
= 2000.25cm\(^3\)

Workdone on an object to bring it to a certain point in space is called
A
Gravitational potential energy
B
Potential energy
C
Kinetic energy
D
Mechanical energy
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted. (i.e, P.E\(_g\) = \omegah, where \omega = mg)
