A boat is traveling with a velocity of 18 meters/second relative to water and the river is flowing at a velocity of 2.5 meters/s

ddd [48]

Vt = Vboat - Vriver
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s

If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .

If a ball leaves the ground with a vertical velocity of 5.46 m/s, how long does it take

kifflom [539]

Answer:

0.557 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.46 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.46 m/s

t = 0.557 s

A compact car has a mass of 1380 kg . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that

astraxan [27]

Answer:

A) $k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}$

B) $\omega'\approx84\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car, $m=1380\ kg$

frequency of spring oscillation, $f=1.6\ Hz$

We knkow the formula for spring oscillation frequency:

$\omega=2\pi.f$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{m} } =2\pi.f$

$\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{1380} } =2\times \pi\times 1.6$

$k_{eq}=139469.3537\ N.m^{-1}$

Now as we know that the springs are in parallel and their stiffness constant gets added up in parallel.

So, the stiffness of each spring is (as they are identical):

$k=\frac{k_{eq}}{4}$

$k=\frac{139469.3537}{4}$

$k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}$

given that 4 passengers of mass 70 kg each are in the car, then the oscillation frequency:

$\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{(m+70\times 4)} }$

$\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{139469.3537}{(1380+280)} }$

$\omega'\approx84\ Hz$

What is the equilibrium concentration of ibr?

asambeis [7]

IBR is the thermal decomposition of iodine(I) bromide to produce iodine and bromine. This reaction takes place at a temperature of over 40,5°C and is written as:

2IBr ⇄ I2 + Br2

Equilibrium is a state of dynamic balance where the ratio of the product and reactant concentrations is constant. You can calculate the equilibrium concentration if you know the equilibrium constant Kc (Kc=I^2*Br^2/IBR^2) and the initial concentration for the reaction. The initial concentration is obtained from ICE Table.
