Answer: -2695 N

Explanation:

first of all, we need to calculate the acceleration experienced by the car and the passenger. This acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v=0 is the final velocity of the car, after the impact

u=10 m/s is the initial velocity

t=0.26 s is the duration of the collision

Substituting numbers into the formula,

$a=\frac{0-10 m/s}{0.26 s}=-38.5 m/s^2$

The force exerted on the passenger is given by the product between the mass of the passenger (70 kg) and the acceleration:

$F=ma=(70 kg)(-38.5 m/s^2)=-2,695 N$

where the negative sign means that the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the passenger+car.

A=(Vo-V)/t=(10-0)/0.26=10/0.26=38.46m/s2
F=ma=70*38.46=2692.3N

Thermopane window is constructed, using two layers of glass 4.0 mm thick, separated by an air space of 5.0 mm.

Bond [772]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to rate of thermal conduction

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

The letter Q represents the amount of heat transferred in a time t, k is the thermal conductivity constant for the material, A is the cross sectional area of the material transferring heat, $\Delta T$ , T is the difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other, and d is the thickness of the material.

The change made between glass and air would be determined by:

$(\frac{Q}{t})_{glass} = (\frac{Q}{t})_{air}$

$k_{glass}(\frac{A}{L})_{glass} \Delta T_{glass} = k_{air}(A/L)_{air} \Delta T_{air}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{k_{glass}}{k_{air}})(\frac{L_{air}}{L_{glass}}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{0.84}{0.0234})(\frac{5}{4}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = 44.9 \Delta T_{glass}$

There are two layers of Glass and one layer of Air so the total temperature would be given as,

$\Delta T = \Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air} +\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T = 2\Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air}$

$20\°C = 46.9\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{glass} = 0.426\°C$

Finally the rate of heat flow through this windows is given as,

$\Delta {Q}{t} = k_{glass}\frac{A}{L_{glass}}\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 0.84*24*10 -3*0.426$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 179W$

Therefore the correct answer is D. 180W.

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where th

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic, as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303 log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv = m / M RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.

Energy Conservation Theory,

$(k+v)_i=(k+v)_f \quad \text { (No air resistone)}\\$

$\frac{1}{2} m v_i^2-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon}=0-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon+h}$

$\frac{1}{2} m v_i^2-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon}=0-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon+h}$

$v_{e x^2}{ }^2-v_i^2=\frac{v_{e^2 R_t} R_t}{R_t t h}\\&\frac{1}{v_{B C^2-v_1^2}^2}=\frac{R_E+h}{v_{e^2 R_E} R_E}\\\\\\h=\frac{R_E V_1^2}{v_{\text {esc }}^2-v_1^{\beta^2}}$

<h3>What is law of energy conservation?</h3>

The principle of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed. It may change from one sort to another. Just like the mass conservation rule, the legitimacy of the preservation of energy depends on experimental perceptions; hence, it is an experimental law. The law of preservation of energy, too known as the primary law of thermodynamics

You are packing for a trip to another star. During the journey, you will be traveling at 0.99c. You are trying to decide whether

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Do neither of these things ( c )

Explanation:

For length contraction : Is calculated considering the observer moving at a speed that is relative the object at rest applying this formula

L = (l) $\sqrt{1 -\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }$

where l = Measured distance from object at rest, L = contracted measured in relation to the observer , v = speed of clock , c = speed of light

you will do neither of these things because before you can make such decisions who have to view the object in this case yourself from a different frame from where you are currently are, if not your length and width will not change hence you can't make such conclusions/decisions .

Rock candy is made from crystallized sugar. What is crystallization?

ankoles [38]

Answer: Rock candy is candy made of large sugar crystals. To make rock candy, a supersaturated solution of sugar in water is created and left undisturbed for a few days. The driving force behind crystallization is supersaturation.
