Answer:

=72000 Newtons

Explanation:

Pressure=Force/Area

Thus, Force= Pressure×Area

In this scenario, the weight of the car is the force.

The total absolute pressure in the tires is :2×10⁵Pa×4=8×10⁵ Pa

The total area in contact with the ground is:0.024m²×4=0.096m²

Thus the weight of the car=(8×10⁵Pa)×0.096m²

=72000 Newtons

Which of the following statements is true? The square root of the molecular weight of a gas is equal to its rate of diffusion. T
forsale [732]
The diffusion coefficient of the gas is proportional to the average rate of thermal motion of the molecules.

the average velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass

so
The gas diffusion rate is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.

2. A carpenter tosses a shingle off a 9.4 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal
Aleksandr [31]

Sounds like the shingle/ball is thrown from the roof horizontally, so that the distance it travels <em>x</em> after time <em>t</em> horizontally is

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) <em>t</em>

The object's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

<em>y</em> = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and its vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>gt</em>

(a) The object hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:

0 = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 * (9.4 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 1.92 s

at which time the object's vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (1.92 s) = -18.8 m/s ≈ -19 m/s

(b) See part (a); it takes the object about 1.9 s to reach the ground.

(c) The object travels a horizontal distance of

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) * (1.92 s) ≈ 13.8 m ≈ 14 m

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

s = 240 J/kg C

now we will have

Q = ms\Delta T + mL

\Delta T = 961.8 - 20

\Delta T = 941.8 degree C

now from above equation

Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)

Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J

You are comparing two diffraction gratings using two different lasers: a green laser and a red laser. You do these two experimen
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum less than 1 meter away from the center

Explanation:

Let  n₁ and n₂ be no of lines per unit length  of grating A and B respectively.

λ₁ and λ₂ be wave lengths of green and red respectively , D be distance of screen and d₁ and d₂ be distance between two slits of grating A and B ,

Distance of first maxima for green light

= λ₁ D/ d₁

Distance of first maxima for red light

= λ₂ D/ d₂

Given that

λ₁ D/ d₁ = λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ / d₁ = λ₂ / d₂

λ₁ / λ₂  = d₁ / d₂

But

λ₁  <  λ₂

d₁ < d₂

Therefore no of lines per unit length of grating A will be more because

no of lines per unit length  ∝ 1 / d

If grating B is illuminated with green light first maxima will be at distance

λ₁ D/ d₂

As λ₁ < λ₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < 1 m

In this case position of first maxima will be less than 1 meter.

Option a is correct .
