Answer:

d. 500 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum: This is the product of the mass of a body to its velocity, The S.I unit of momentum is kgm/s.

Mathematically, momentum can be expressed as,

M = mv....................... equation 1

Where M = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

deduced from the question,

Momentum of the car = momentum of the barrier.

MV = mv ............................. Equation 1

Where M = mass of the car, V = velocity of the car, m = mass of the barrier, v = velocity of the barrier.

making v the subject of the equation,

v = MV/m........................ Equation 2

Given: M = 1000 kg, V = 10 m/s, m = 20 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 1000(10)/20

v = 500 m/s.

Hence the speed of the barrier = 500 m/s

The right option is d. 500 m/s

Veseljchak [2.6K]
The lemon trees will always be the same so they are the constants. The independent variable is the water amount because it is changing. The dependent variable is the amount of lemons because it is the variable being tested. (If we change the amount of water how many lemons will be produced?)

How much heat is required to change 200 mL of ice at -22°C (at typical Freezer temperature) into steam
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

611.064 kJ

Explanation:

Given :

m = 200 mL = 200 g

Specific heat of ice = 2.06 J/g°C

Q = mcΔt

Δt = 0 - (-22) = 22

Q1 = 200 * 2.06 * 22 = 9064 J

Q2 = Melt 0 °C solid ice into 0 °C liquid water:

Q2 = m · ΔHf ; ΔHf = heat of fusion of water = 334j/g

Q2 = 200 * 334 = 66800 J

Q3 : Heat to convert from 0°C to 100°C

Q3 = mcΔt ; c = 4.19 J/g°C ; Δt = (100 - 0) = 100

Q3 = 200 * 4.19 * 100 = 83800 J

Q4: heat required to boil water to steam

Q = m · ΔHv

Hv = heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g

Q4 = 200 * 2257 = 451400 J

Total Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4

Q = 9064 + 66800 + 83800 + 451400

Q = 611,064 Joules

Q = 611.064 kJ

A velocity selector is built with a magnetic field of magnitude 5.2 T and an electric field of strength 4.6 × 10 ^ 4 N/C. The di
nydimaria [60]

Explanation :

Magnetic field, B = 5.2 T

Electric field, E=4.6\times 10^4\ N/C

The directions of the two fields are perpendicular to each other. Hence the force due to each field will equate each other.

Electrostatic force, F =qE.........(1)

Magnetic force, F = qvB........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

   E = v B

v=\dfrac{E}{B}

v=\dfrac{4.6\times 10^4\ N/C}{5.2\ T}

v=0.88\times 10^4\ m/s

v=8.8\times 10^3\ m/s

Hence, the correct option is (a).

(2) A permanent magnet always has two poles as the North pole and south pole. The magnetic field lines start from north poles and terminate at the south pole of the magnet.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

the maximum intensity levels of a trumpet, trombone, and a bass drum, each at a distance of 3m are 94 dB, 107dB, and 113dB respe
Gwar [14]

Answer:

β = 114 db

Explanation:

The intensity of sound in decibles is

          β = 10 log \frac{I}{I_{o}}

in most cases Io is the hearing threshold 1 10-12 W / cm²

let's calculate the intensity of each instrument

            I / I₀ = 10 (β / 10)

            I = I₀ 10 (β / 10)

trumpet

            I1 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (94/10)

            I1 = 2.51 10⁻³ / cm²

Thrombus

           I2 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (107/10)

           I2 = 5.01 10-2 W / cm²

low

           I3 =1 1-12    (113/10) W/cm²

            I3 = 1,995 10-1 W / cm²

when we place the three instruments together their sounds reinforce

           I_total = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

           I_ttoal = 2.51 10-3 + 5.01 10-2 + ​​1.995 10-1

           I_total = 0.00251 + 0.0501 + 0.1995

           I_total = 0.25211 W / cm²

let's bring this amount to the SI system

         β = 10 log (0.25211 / 1 10⁻¹²)

           β = 114 db
