the formula for momentum is velocity times mass

car :

1200 x 30 = 36000

truck:

2000 x 20 = 40000

Ans : truck has a greater momentum

Shawn and his bike have a total mass of

Trava [24]

Answer:

Shawn's kinetic energy is 61.45 J.

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of the system is, $m=52.3\ kg$

Displacement of the bike is, $d=1.6\ km=1.6\times 1000=1600\ m$

Time taken is, $t=17.4\ min=17.4\times 60=1044\ s$

Let the constant velocity be $v$ .

For constant velocity, magnitude of velocity is given as distance by time.

Therefore, $v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{1600}{1044}=1.533\ m/s$

Now, kinetic energy of a body is given as:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Here, $m=52.3\ kg,\ v=1.533\ m/s$

$\therefore KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 52.3\times (1.533)^2\\KE=0.5\times 52.3\times 2.35\\KE=61.45\ J$

Therefore, Shawn's kinetic energy is 61.45 J.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

$P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure.

$V$ - Volume.

$n$ - Molar quantity, in moles.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant.

$T$ - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

$P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2}$ (2)

If we know that $\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}$ , then the resulting pressure of the system is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)$

$P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}$

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.
