solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

An ideal gas expands quasi-statically and isothermally from a state with pressurepand volumeVto a state with volume 4V. How much
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Q = PV(In 4)

Explanation:

We are told that the volume expands from V to a state with volume 4V.

Thus, initial volume is V and Final volume is 4V.

We want to find How much heat is added to the expanding gas.

For an isothermal process, the work done is calculated from;

W = nRT(In(V_f/V_i))

Where;

V_f is final volume

V_i is initial volume

Thus;

W = nRT(In(4V/V))

W = nRT(In 4)

Now, from ideal gas equation, we know that;

PV = nRT

Thus;

W = PV(In 4)

Now from first law of thermodynamics, we know that internal energy is zero and thus; Q = W

Where Q is quantity of heat

Thus;

Q = PV(In 4)

La distancia entre dos ciudades es de 350km.Si un autocar emplea 4h en el viaje,determina su velocidad media y exprésala.En el s
Oxana [17]

Answer:

v = 87.5 km/h

Explanation:

To find the speed of the car you use the following formula:

v=\frac{x}{t}   (1)

x: distance traveled by the car  = 350km

t: time = 4h

you replace the values of x and t in the equation (1):

v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{350km}{4h}=87.5\frac{km}{h}

hence, the speed of the car is 87.5km/h

A mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.

A rope is vibrated so that transverse waves propagate down it. if the distance between crests is 0.5 m and a new crest reaches t
xxMikexx [17]
<span>The speed of a wave, V, is f *lambda. Where f is the frequency and lambda is the distance. If a new crest reaches the end every 4 secs; it takes 8s to cover the distance. Hence, f, which is the number of oscillations covered is 8s. So we have V = 8 * 5 = 40 ms^1.</span>
