When a speeding truck hits a stationary car, the car is deformed and heat is generated. What can you say about the kinetic energ

y of the system after the collision?

I can say that the kinetic energy after the collision is less than it was before the collision. I can say this with confidence because you've said that some energy was used to deform the car, plus there was energy lost from the system in the form of heat.

Estimate the final temperature of a mole of gas at 200.0 atm and 19.0°C as it is forced through a porous plug to a final pressur

Yanka [14]

Answer : The final temperature of gas is 266.12 K

Explanation :

According to the Joule-Thomson experiment, it states that when a gas is expanded adiabatically from higher pressure region to lower pressure region, the change in temperature with respect to change in pressure at constant enthalpy is known as Joule-Thomson coefficient.

The formula will be:

$\mu_{J,T}=(\frac{dT}{dP})_H$

or,

$\mu_{J,T}=(\frac{dT}{dP})_H\approx \frac{\Delta T}{\Delta P}$

As per question the formula will be:

$\mu_{J,T}=\frac{T_2-T_1}{P_2-P_1}$ .........(1)

where,

$\mu_{J,T}$ = Joule-Thomson coefficient of the gas = $0.13K/atm$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $19.0^oC=273+19.0=292.0K$

$T_2$ = final temperature = ?

$P_1$ = initial pressure = 200.0 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure = 0.95 atm

Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:

$0.13K/atm=\frac{T_2-292.0K}{(0.95-200.0)atm}$

$T_2=266.12K$

Therefore, the final temperature of gas is 266.12 K

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries a left-to-right current of 40 A. If the wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$4.5\times 10^{-5} T$

Explanation:

We are given that

Current in wire=40 A

Magnetic field= $B_1=3.5\times 10^{-5}$ T( vertically downward)

We have to find the resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm above the wire and 29 cm below the wire.

According to Bio-Savart law, the magnetic field exerted by the wire at distance R is given by

$B_{wire}=B_2=\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi R}$

We have R=29 cm= $\frac{29}{100}=0.29 m$

1 m=100 cm

Substitute the values in the given formula

$B_2=\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 40}{2\times \pi\times 0.29}=\frac{2\times 40\times 10^{-7}}{0.29}=2.76\times 10^{-5} T$

The resultant magnetic field is given by

$B=\sqrt{B^2_1+B^2_2}$

Substitute the values then we get

$B=\sqrt{(3.5\times 10^{-5})^2+(2.76\times 10^{-5})^2}$

$B=4.5\times 10^{-5} T$

The resultant magnitude of magnetic field is same above and below the wire as it is at same distance.

The resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm below the wire= $4.5\times 10^{-5} T$

Hence, the resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm above the wire= $4.5\times 10^{-5} T$

Compare the foot of mollusks with the tube feet of echinoderms.

stira [4]

Mollusks live in fresh water, in marine environment, but also on land.

<span>Echinoderms live only in water. This is the reason why they have developed different systems for moving. Mollusks have only singular muskullus foot for walking and Echinoderms have tube feet which they use for moving, as well for collecting and transporting food to their mouth. </span>

Abdominal breathing is a condition in which only the inferior half of the lungs can be seen expanding and contracting with each

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Damage to the nerves that control the diaphragm.

Explanation:

Abdominal breathing is a condition in which inferior half of the lungs can be seen relaxing or contracting and expanding with the breath. This condition occurs due to the various conditions that lead to the respiratory.

It is cause due to the damage to nerves that control the diaphragm. The phrenic nerve is one of the nerve of diaphragm initiates in the neck and passes down.

Thus, the correct answer is - Damage to the nerves that control the diaphragm.

The phrenic nerve is a nerve that originates in the neck (C3–C5) and passes down between the lung and heart to reach the diaphragm.
