Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Distance covered = 437 km = 437,000 meters

Time to cover the distance = (7.27 hrs) x (3600 sec/hr) = 26,172 seconds

Average speed = (437,000 meters) / (26,172 seconds)

Average speed = 16.7 m/s

A tank contains gas at 13.0°C pressurized to 10.0 atm. The temperature of the gas is increased to 95.0°C, and half the gas is re
fomenos

Answer:

The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 13+273=286 K

Pressure = 10.0 atm

We need to calculate the pressure of the remaining gas

Using equation of ideal gas

PV=nRT

For a gas

P_{1}V_{1}=nRT_{1}

Where, P = pressure

V = volume

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

10\times V=nR\times286....(I)

When the temperature of the gas is increased

Then,

P_{2}V_{2}=\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

\dfrac{P_{1}V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nRT_{1}}{\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}}

\dfrac{10\times V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nR\times286}{\dfrac{n}{2}R368}

P_{2}=\dfrac{10\times368}{2\times286}

P_{2}= 6.433\ atm

P_{2}=6.4\ atm

Hence, The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

What is work? how do we solve for work?​
slava [35]

Answer: Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton • meter (N • m). One joule equals the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force moves an object over a distance of 1 m.

explain why a high-speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same two cars
9966 [12]
The force equation can easily prove this.  F=ma.  This states that the force on an object is equal to mass times acceleration.  If the mass stays the same and the velocity of the cars increases than that means there is a larger force.  This is because in both cases the cars are stopping in almost an instant and the times of the crashes are theoretically identical.  Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.  If the velocity is higher with the same amount of time than that means there is a higher acceleration.  If you plug a higher acceleration into the force equation then you wind up with a higher force and in turn a more damaging collision.

A mother pushes a baby stroller 10 meters by applying 40 newtons of force. how much work was done?
topjm [15]
Based on the situation above the the work done was 400 Joules. <span>Q = FS cos(theta) is the so-called work function. It's important to learn the work physics; you'll see it over and over in science/physics class. Theta is the angle between the force vector F and the distance vector S. In your problem we assume theta = 0, the two vectors were assumed aligned.</span>
