A hot air balloon uses the principle of buoyancy to create lift. By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2090 m3 a. What is the density of air inside the balloon, in terms of the pressure P, temperature T, molar mass M, and the gas constant R? b.

The drawing shows an ideal gas confined to a cylinder by a massless piston that is attached to an ideal spring. Outside the cylinder is a vacuum. The cross-sectional area of the piston is A = 2.50 x 103 m². The initial pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas are, respectively, Po, Vo = 6.00 x 10-4 m³ and To = 273 K, and the spring is initially stretched by an amount xo = 0.096 m with respect to its unstrained length. The gas is heated, so that its final pressure, volume, and temperature are P₁, Vf and Tf and the spring is stretched by an amount x = 0.14 m with respect to its unstrained length. What is the final temperature of the gas? T₁= i --Piston
Nitrogen gas under an initial pressure of 5.0×106 Pa at 15 °C is contained in a cylinder of volume 0.040 m³. After some time, the pressure has fallen to 2.0×106 Pa and the temperature has changed to 20°C. What is the volume of the gas at 20 °C?
Perfect vacuum refers to a region that is completely devoid of particles. Pressure in perfect vacuum would be zero. On Earth, achieving a perfect vacuum is quite difficult in practice. In a modern physics laboratory with state-of-the-art vacuum systems, one may achieve a pressure of 1 nPa (1 × 10-9 Pa). This is referred to as ultra-high vacuum. Suppose you have a vessel of volume 1 m³ filled with air at a temperature of 300 K (approximately room temperature). Suppose a vacuum system is used to pump air out of the vessel, reducing the pressure from an initial value of 101325 Pa (1 atm) to a final value of 1 nPA. Assume that the volume and temperature remain constant. Calculate the initial and final numbers of molecules in the vessel at atmospheric pressure and at ultra- high vacuum (1 nPa). Comment: Perhaps surprisingly, even at ultra-high vacuum there is still a large number of particles in the vessel: 0 « N; « N;.

A basketball is pressurized to a gauge pressure of PG = 55 kPa when at the surface of a swimming pool. (Patm = 101 kPa). The ball is then submerged in the pool of water which has a density ρ = 1000 kg/m3. Assume the ball does not change in mass, temperature, or volume as it is submerged. Calculate the absolute pressure inside the basketball in kPa when it is at the surface. Write an equation for the pressure difference ΔP between the inside and outside of the ball when it is submerged a distance y below the surface of the water. Solve the pressure equation for the depth (in meters) at which the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball will become zero. At this depth the pressure inside the basketball is the same as the pressure outside the ball.
