Explain why streets and highways have speed limits and not velocity limits.

Physics

We know that speed is a scalar unit while velocity is a vector. The signs are mostly concerned with the magnitude that the car should travel in, the direction is not as important.

A quantity of gas is contained in a sealed container of fixed volume. The temperature of the
Alchen [17]

Answer:

If the Kelvin temperature of a gas is increased, the volume of the gas increases. This can be understood by imagining the particles of gas in the container moving with a greater energy when the temperature is increased.

Explanation:

If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure. Conversely if you cool the molecules down they will slow and the pressure will be decreased.

To calculate a change in pressure or temperature using Gay Lussac's Law.

A total resistance of 3.03 Ω is to be produced by connecting an unknown resistance to a 12.18 Ω resistance. (a) What must be the
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}

\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}

\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

Suppose the carts collided on a surface that had a slight incline to it. Would you expect the momentum to be conserved
lesantik [10]

Momentum is conserved when carts are collided on a slanting plane.

To find the answer, we need to know about the conversation of momentum.

<h3>What's the conversation of momentum?</h3>
  • Conservation of linear momentum says the total momentum before the collision and after the collision remains the same.
  • Mathematically, m1u1+m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2
<h3>How is the momentum conserved when collision occurs on a slanting plane?</h3>
  • On a slanting plane, the velocity has two components,
  1. horizontal component
  2. horizontal component Vertical component
  • So, its momentum has also similar two components.
  • The momentum is conserved along horizontal direction and vertical direction separately.

Thus, we can conclude that the momentum is conserved when carts are collided on a slanting plane.
