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

Suppose the gas resulting from the sublimation of 1.00 g carbon dioxide is collected over water at 25.0◦c into a 1.00 l containe
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

0.56 atm

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the number of moles of the gas.

We know that

m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas

Mm=44.0 g/mol is the molar mass of the carbon dioxide

So, the number of moles of the gas is

n=\frac{m}{M_m}=\frac{1.00 g}{44.0 g/mol}=0.023 mol

Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas equation:

pV=nRT

where

p is the pressure

V=1.00 L = 0.001 m^3 is the volume

n = 0.023 mol is the number of moles

R=8.314 J/mol K is the gas constant

T=25.0^{\circ}+273=298 K is the temperature of the gas

Solving the equation for p, we find

p=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.023 mol)(8.314 J/mol K)(298 K)}{0.001 m^3}=5.7 \cdot 10^4 Pa

And since we have

1 atm = 1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa

the pressure in atmospheres is

p=\frac{5.7\cdot 10^4 Pa}{1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa/atm}=0.56 atm
