This follows the law of conservation of momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of object.
Momentum = mass(m) x velocity(v)
law of conservation of momentum means that the total momentum of system before the collision of 2 objects is equal to the total momentum after the collision
Before the collision total momentum
= m1v1 + m2v2
m1 = 2 kg
v1 = 2 m/s
m2 = 6 kg
v2 = 0 m/s
substituting the values in the equation
total momentum before = (2 kg x 2 m/s) + (6 kg x 0 m/s)
total momentum = 4 kgm/s
after the collision the 2 objects stick together and have a common velocity
total momentum after the collision = (6 kg + 2 kg)x V = 8V
V = speed of the conglomerate particle
since total momentum before is equal to total momentum after
8V = 4
V = 2 m/s
speed of conglomerate particle is 2 m/s
Accelerating, because it’s going from standing still to running, so the speed increases
Answer:
0.56 liters
Explanation:
First we <u>convert 0.80 grams of O₂ into moles</u>, using its molar mass:
- 0.80 g ÷ 32 g/mol = 0.025 mol
At STP, 1 mol of any given mass occupies 22.4 L. With that information in mind we <u>calculate the volume that 0.025 moles of O₂ gas would occupy</u>:
- 0.025 mol * 22.4 L/mol = 0.56 L
Thus the answer is 0.56 liters.
