Truck drivers approaching a steep hill that they must climb often increase their speed. What good does this do, if any?

Physics

Inga [223]2 years ago

Um, this doesn't make any sense. By climbing a hill, you are decreasing your momentum and kinetic energy, so it slows you down. The only positive, is after you have climbed the hill, you have more potential energy, and it will be released once you go down the hill, but you will not be as fast as if you ignored the hill.

A bullet with a mass 2.25g is fired up into the air with a velocity of 187.5 m/s. What is the maximum height of the bullet
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

1793.7m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of energy; the kinetic energy substended by the object equals the potential energy sustain by the object when it gets to its maximum position.

Now the kinetic energy; is

K.E = 1/2 × m × v2

Where m is mass

v is velocity

Hence.

K.E = 1/2 × 2.25 × (187.5)^2

Now this should be same with the potential energy which is given as;

P.E = m× g× h

Where m is mass of object

g is acceleration of free fall due to gravity = 9.8m/S2

h is maximum height substain by the object.

Hence P.E = 2.25 × 9.8 × h

From the foregoing analysis of energy conversation it implies;

1/2 × 2.25 × (187.5)^2 =2.25 × 9.8 × h

=> 1/2 × (187.5)^2 = 9.8 × h

=>1/2 × (187.5)^2 / 9.8 = h

=> 1793.69m = h

h= 1793.69m

h =1793.7m to 1 decimal place

Two vehicles A and B accelerate uniformly from rest.
spayn [35]

Answer:

(i) Please find attached the required velocity time graphs plotted with MS Excel

(ii) The velocity of vehicle A at the 18th second = 20 m/s

The velocity of vehicle B at the 18th second = 0 m/s

(iii) The distance between the two vehicles at the moment in (ii) above is 60 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of vehicles A and B are;

The acceleration of vehicles A and B = Uniform acceleration starting from rest

The maximum velocity attained by vehicle A = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle A to attain maximum velocity = 10 s

The maximum velocity attained by vehicle B = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle B to attain maximum velocity = The time it takes vehicle A to attain maximum velocity = 10 s

The time duration vehicle A maintains its maximum velocity = 6 s

The time duration vehicle B maintains its maximum velocity = 4 s

(i) From the question, we get the following table;

\begin{array}{ccc}Time &V_A&V_B\\0&0&0\\10&30&40\\14&30&40\\16&30&20\\18&20&0\\22&0&\end{array}

From the above table the velocity time graphs of vehicles A and B is created with MS Excel and can included here

(ii) The velocity of vehicle A at the start = 0 m/s

After accelerating for 10 seconds, the velocity of vehicle A = The maximum velocity of vehicle A = 30 m/s

The maximum velocity is maintained for 6 seconds which gives;

At 10 s + 6 s = 16 s, the velocity of vehicle A = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle A to decelerate to rest = 6 s

The deceleration of vehicle A, a_A = (30 m/s - 0 m/s)/(6 s) = 5 m/s²

Therefore, we get;

v = u - a_A·t

At the 18th second, the deceleration time, t = 18 s - 16 s = 2 s

u = 30 m/s

∴ v₁₈ = 30 - 5 × 2 = 20

The velocity of vehicle A at the 18th second, V_{18A} = 20 m/s

For vehicle B, we have;

At the 14th second, the velocity of vehicle B = 40 m/s

Vehicle B decelerates to rest in, t = 4 s

The deceleration of vehicle B, a_B = (40 m/s - 0 m/s)/(4 s) = 10 m/s²

For vehicle B, at the 18th second, t = 18 s - 14 s = 4 s

∴ v_{18B} = 40 m/s - 10 m/s² × 4 s = 0 m/s

The velocity of the vehicle B at 18th second, v_{18B} = 0 m/s

(iii) The distance covered by vehicle A up to the 18th second is given by the area under the velocity-time graph as follows;

The area triangle A₁ = (1/2) × 10 × 30 = 150

Area of rectangle, A₂ = 6 × 30 = 180

Area of trapezoid, A₃ = (1/2) × (30 + 20) × 2 = 50

The distance covered in the 18th second by vehicle S_A = A₁ + A₂ + A₃

∴ S_A = 150 + 180 + 50 = 380

The distance covered in the 18th second by vehicle S_A = 380 m

The distance covered by the vehicle B in the 18th second is given by the area under the velocity time graph of vehicle B as follows;

Area of trapezoid, A₅ = (1/2) × (18 + 4) × 40 = 440

The distance covered by the trapezoid, S_B = 440 m

The distance of the two vehicles apart at the 18t second, S_{AB} = S_B - S_A

∴ S_{AB} = 440 m - 380 m = 60 m

The distance of the two vehicles from one another at the 18th second, S_{AB} = 60 m.

calculate the mass of potassium chlorate (kcio3) required to obtain 10g of oxygen in the following reaction:kclO3-kcl+O2​
igor_vitrenko [27]

First, balance the reaction:

_ KClO₃   ==>   _ KCl + _ O₂

As is, there are 3 O's on the left and 2 O's on the right, so there needs to be a 2:3 ratio of KClO₃ to O₂. Then there are 2 K's and 2 Cl's among the reactants, so we have a 1:1 ratio of KClO₃ to KCl :

2 KClO₃   ==>   2 KCl + 3 O₂

Since we start with a known quantity of O₂, let's divide each coefficient by 3.

2/3 KClO₃   ==>   2/3 KCl + O₂

Next, look up the molar masses of each element involved:

• K: 39.0983 g/mol

• Cl: 35.453 g/mol

• O: 15.999 g/mol

Convert 10 g of O₂ to moles:

(10 g) / (31.998 g/mol) ≈ 0.31252 mol

The balanced reaction shows that we need 2/3 mol KClO₃ for every mole of O₂. So to produce 10 g of O₂, we need

(2/3 (mol KClO₃)/(mol O₂)) × (0.31252 mol O₂) ≈ 0.20835 mol KClO₃

KClO₃ has a total molar mass of about 122.549 g/mol. Then the reaction requires a mass of

(0.20835 mol) × (122.549 g/mol) ≈ 25.532 g

of KClO₃.
