Calculate the work done by an external agent during an isothermal compression of 1.00 mol of oxygen from a volume of 22.4 l at 10∘c and 1.0 atm pressure to 16.8l

What would be the result of an alpha particle coming into a magnetic field? a) the alpha particle will stop moving. b) the alpha particle will reverse its direction. c) the alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path. d) the alpha particle will continue to travel in a straight line.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
