A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to

aksik [14]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The vertical displacement = Δy = 21.5 m - 1.5 m = 20 m

The horizontal displacement = Δx = 69 m wide

Using the formula:

$\Delta y = u_yt+ \frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\ \\u_y=initial\ velocity\ of \ car\ in\ y\ direction = 0,a_y=g=acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\\=10m/s^2\\\\\Delta y = \frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\\\Delta y=\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\Delta y}{a_y} }=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{10} } =2\ m/s$

Also:

$\Delta x = u_xt+ \frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\ \\u_x=initial\ velocity\ of \ car\ in\ x\ direction = 0,a_x=acceleration=0\\\\\Delta x = u_xt\\\\u_x=\frac{\Delta x}{t}=\frac{69}{2} =34.5\ m/s$

b)The car is moving at a constant speed in the horizontal direction, hence the initial velocity = final velocity

$v_x=u_x=34.5\ m/s\\\\v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\\v_y=0+gt\\\\v_y=10(2)=20\ m/s\\\\v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{34.5^2+20^2}=39.9\ m/s\\ v=39.9\ m/s$

A river 800m wide flows at the rate of 5km/h . A swimmer who can swim at 10km/h in still water wants to cross the river straight

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

At an angle of $30^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

$R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}$

A 12.0 g sample of gas occupies 19.2 L at STP. what is the of moles and molecular weight of this gas?

lubasha [3.4K]

At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of about 22.4 L. So if n is the number of moles of this gas, then

n / (19.2 L) = (1 mole) / (22.4 L) ==> n = (19.2 L•mole) / (22.4 L) ≈ 0.857 mol

If the sample has a mass of 12.0 g, then its molecular weight is

(12.0 g) / n ≈ 14.0 g/mol
