Two remote control cars with masses of 1.16 kilograms and 1.98 kilograms travel toward each other at speeds of 8.64 meters per s

econd and 3.34 meters per second, respectively. The cars collide head-on, and the less massive car recoils with a speed of 2.16 meters per second.a. What is the final speed of the second car? Include units in your answer. More information. Hint: Pay attention to directions! Must be in 3 significant digits.

The initial momentum of the system can be expressed as,

p_i=m_1u_1+m_{2_{}}u_2

The final momentum of the system can be given as,

p_f=m_1v_1+m_{2_{}}v_2

According to conservation of momentum,

p_i=p_f

Plug in the known expressions,

\begin{gathered} m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2 \\ m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1 \\ v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2} \end{gathered}

Initially, the second mass move towards the first mass therefore the initial speed of second mass will be taken as negative and the recoil velocity of first mass is also taken as negative.

Plug in the known values,

\begin{gathered} v_2=\frac{(1.16\text{ kg)(8.64 m/s)+(1.98 kg)(-3.34 m/s)-(1.16 kg)(-2.16 m/s)}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{10.02\text{ kgm/s-}6.61\text{ kgm/s+}2.51\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{5.92\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ \approx2.99\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the final velocity of second mass is 2.99 m/s.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

D 5 V

Explanation:

Without seeing the whole circuit it is impossible to say for certain.

However the simplest circuit would produce a value of

FV = IR = 0.25(20) = 5 v

Calculate the Latent Heat of Vaporization. (Please see picture attached)
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

20 J/g

Explanation:

In this question, we are required to determine the latent heat of vaporization

  • To answer the question, we need to ask ourselves the questions:

What is latent heat of vaporization?

  • It is the amount of heat required to change a substance from its liquid state to gaseous state without change in temperature.
  • It is the amount of heat absorbed by a substance as it boils.

How do we calculate the latent heat of vaporization?

  • Latent heat is calculated by dividing the amount of heat absorbed by the mass of the substance.

In this case;

  • Mass of the substance = 20 g
  • Heat absorbed as the substance boils is 400 J (1000 J - 600 J)

Thus,

Latent heat of vaporization = Quantity of Heat ÷ Mass

                                             = 400 Joules ÷ 20 g

                                             = 20 J/g

Thus, the latent heat of vaporization is 20 J/g
