Rudiy27

Answer:

81.6 m

Explanation:

Answer: 81.6 m.

The time it takes gravity to slow 40 m/s to zero when it teaches maximum height is

-v(initial) / -g = t

-40 m/s / -9.8 m/s^2 = 4.08 s

The height reached is the average velocity times this time 4.08 s, with v(avg) = [v(initial) + v(final)] / 2 with v(final) = 0. v(avg) = v(initial) / 2 = 40 m/s / 2 = 20 m/s.

So the distance d of maximum height is

d = v(avg)•t

d = 20 m/s • 4.08 s = 81.6 m.

An elevator is moving is an upwards

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.

Planet A is heavier than Planet B

Because Planet A is heavier than Planet B, Planet B will be easier to be moved by gravity causing it to move faster than Planet A.

Fill in the blanks for the following:

storchak [24]

Answer:

a. 4.21 moles

b. 478.6 m/s

c. 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank

Explanation:

Volume of container = 100.0 L

Temperature = 293 K

pressure = 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

number of moles n = ?

using the gas equation PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

R = 0.08206 L-atm- $mol^{-1}$ $K^{-1}$

Therefore,

n = (1.01325 x 100)/(0.08206 x 293)

n = 101.325/24.04 = 4.21 moles

The equation for root mean square velocity is

Vrms = $\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }$

R = 8.314 J/mol-K

where M is the molar mass of oxygen gas = 31.9 g/mol = 0.0319 kg/mol

Vrms = $\sqrt{\frac{3*8.314*293}{0.0319} }$ = 478.6 m/s

For Nitrogen in thermal equilibrium with the oxygen, the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen will be proportional to the root mean square velocity of the oxygen by the relationship

$\frac{Voxy}{Vnit}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mnit}{Moxy} }$
