A) Work energy relation;
Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
F = 900/0.04
= 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
= 22500/(5×10^-3)
= 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds

Fill in the blanks for the following:

Answer:

a. 4.21 moles

b. 478.6 m/s

c. 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank

Explanation:

Volume of container = 100.0 L

Temperature = 293 K

pressure = 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

number of moles n = ?

using the gas equation PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

R = 0.08206 L-atm- $mol^{-1}$ $K^{-1}$

Therefore,

n = (1.01325 x 100)/(0.08206 x 293)

n = 101.325/24.04 = 4.21 moles

The equation for root mean square velocity is

Vrms = $\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }$

R = 8.314 J/mol-K

where M is the molar mass of oxygen gas = 31.9 g/mol = 0.0319 kg/mol

Vrms = $\sqrt{\frac{3*8.314*293}{0.0319} }$ = 478.6 m/s

For Nitrogen in thermal equilibrium with the oxygen, the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen will be proportional to the root mean square velocity of the oxygen by the relationship

$\frac{Voxy}{Vnit}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mnit}{Moxy} }$

where

Voxy = root mean square velocity of oxygen = 478.6 m/s

Vnit = root mean square velocity of nitrogen = ?

Moxy = Molar mass of oxygen = 31.9 g/mol

Mnit = Molar mass of nitrogen = 14.00 g/mol

$\frac{478.6}{Vnit}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{14.0}{31.9} }$

$\frac{478.6}{Vnit}$ = 0.66

Vnit = 0.66 x 478.6 = 315.876 m/s

the root mean square velocity of the oxygen gas is

478.6/315.876 = 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank

What does the Pauli exclusion principle state? . . A.Electrons will be added to an atom at the lowest possible level or sublevel

BARSIC [14]

The Pauli exclusion principle state that : D. Two electrons occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins

This happen because he stated that in an atom or molecule, two electrons CANNOT have same four electronic quantum numbers

hope this helps

You observe a hockey puck of mass 0.12 kg, traveling across the ice at speed 18.3 m/sec. The interaction of the puck and the ice

Galina-37 [17]

The stopping distance is 143.1 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to find the acceleration of the hockey puck. This can be done by using Newton's second law of motion:

$\sum F =ma$

where

$\sum F = F_f = -0.14 N$ is the net force acting on the puck (the force of friction, negative because it acts in a direction opposite to the direction of motion)
