The lowest possible temperature in outer space is 3.13 K. What is the rms speed of hydrogen molecules at this temperature? (The
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

v_{rms} =196.59 m/s

Given:

Temperature, T = 3.13 K

molar mass of molecular hydrogen, m = 2.02 g/mol = 2.02\times 10^{-3}kg/mol

Solution:

To calculate the root mean squarer or rms speed of hydrogen molecule, we use the given formula:

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3TR}{m}}

where

R = rydberg's constant = 8.314 J/mol-K

Putting the values in the above formula:

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3\times 3.13\times 8.314}{2.02\times 10^{-3}}}

v_{rms} =196.59 m/s

A small car with mass of 0.800 kg travels at a constant speed
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The equation of equilibrium at the top of the vertical circle is:

\Sigma F = - N - m\cdot g = - m \cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The speed experimented by the car is:

\frac{N}{m}+g=\frac{v^{2}}{R}

v = \sqrt{R\cdot (\frac{N}{m}+g) }

v = \sqrt{(5\,m)\cdot (\frac{6\,N}{0.8\,kg} +9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}} )}

v\approx 9.302\,\frac{m}{s}

The equation of equilibrium at the bottom of the vertical circle is:

\Sigma F = N - m\cdot g = m \cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The normal force on the car when it is at the bottom of the track is:

N=m\cdot (\frac{v^{2}}{R}+g )

N = (0.8\,kg)\cdot \left(\frac{(9.302\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{5\,m}+ 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

N=21.690\,N

3) If an airplane is in flight cruising at constant velocity, what can be said about the net work
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

<h2>Yes!</h2>

<h3>In physics, constant velocity occurs when there is no net force acting on the object causing it to accelerate. In terms of airplane flight, the two main forces influencing its velocity forward are drag and thrust. At a constant altitude, when the force of thrust equals the opposing force of drag, then the airplane will experience uniform motion in one direction. This can be further explained by Newton’s First Law. </h3>

A loud sound is produced in the downtown section of a city. Which of the following is least likely to occur with the sound wave
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.

Explanation:

This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.
