In a science fiction novel two enemies, Bonzo and Ender, are fighting in outer spce. From stationary positions, they push agains

t each other. Bonzo flies off with a velocity of +2.2 m/s, while Ender recoils with a velocity of -2.6 m/s. Determine the ratio mBonzo/mEnder of the masses of these two enemies.

Answer:

$\frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18$

Explanation:

$m_B$ = Mass of Bonzo

$m_E$ = Mass of Ender

$u_B$ = Initial Velocity of Bonzo = 2.2 m/s

$u_E$ = Initial Velocity of Ender = -2.6 m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

$m_Bu_B=m_Eu_E\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=\frac{u_E}{u_B}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=\frac{2.6}{2.2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18$

$\therefore \frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18$

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.200 mol of oxygen at 2.00×105 Pa and 360 K . The oxygen may be treated as an ideal gas. The

Answer:

A. $W=600\ J$

B. $Q=2112\ J$

C. $\Delta U=1512\ J$

D. $W=0\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

no. of moles of oxygen in the cylinder, $n=0.2$

initial pressure in the cylinder, $P_i=2\times 10^5\ Pa$

initial temperature of the gas in the cylinder, $T_i=360\ K$

<em>According to the question the final volume becomes twice of the initial volume.</em>

<u>Using ideal gas law:</u>

$P.V=n.R.T$

$2\times 10^5\times V_i=0.2\times 8.314\times 360$

$V_i=0.003\ m^3$

A.

<u>Work done by the gas during the initial isobaric expansion:</u>

$W=P.dV$

$W=P_i\times (V_f-V_i)$

$W=2\times 10^5\times (0.006-0.003)$

$W=600\ J$

C.

<u>we have the specific heat capacity of oxygen at constant pressure as:</u>

$c_v=21\ J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Now we apply Charles Law:

$\frac{V_i}{T_i} =\frac{V_f}{T_f}$

$\frac{0.003}{360} =\frac{0.006}{T_f}$

$T_f=720\ K$

<u>Now change in internal energy:</u>

$\Delta U=n.c_p.(T_f-T_i)$

$\Delta U=0.2\times 21\times (720-360)$

$\Delta U=1512\ J$

B.

<u>Now heat added to the system:</u>

$Q=W+\Delta U$

$Q=600+1512$

$Q=2112\ J$

D.

Since during final cooling the process is isochoric (i.e. the volume does not changes). So,

$W=0\ J$

What force gives a 1.0 kg mass an acceleration of 7.0 m/s^2?

TiliK225 [7]

For this case we have that according to Newton's second law it is true that:

$F = m * a$

Where:

F: It is the force

m: It is the mass

a: It is the acceleration

According to the data we have:

$m = 1.0 \ kg\\a = 7.0 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

So, we have:

$F = 1.0 \ kg * 7.0 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}\\F = 7 \ N$

Thus, the applied force will be 7 Newtons.

Answer:

$F = 7 \ N$
