What characteristic describes what happens during a physical change

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. the index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?

A200-n force is applied to the foot-operated air pump. the return spring s exerts a 2.6-n·m moment on member oba for this position. determine the corresponding compression force c in the cylinder bd. if the diameter of the piston in the cylinder is 40 mm, estimate the air pressure generated for these conditions. state any assumptions. enter a positive number for the compression force c.

Awelder using a tank of volume 7.50×10^-2 m^3 fills it with oxygen (with a molar mass of 32.0 g/mol ) at a gauge pressure of 3.30×10^5 pa and temperature of 37.1 ∘c. the tank has a small leak, and in time some of the oxygen leaks out. on a day when the temperature is 23.1 ∘c, the gauge pressure of the oxygen in the tank is 2.00×10^5 pa . a) find the initial mass of oxygen. b) find the mass of oxygen that has leaked out.
