The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

Indigenous people sometimes cooked in watertight baskets by placing enough hot rocks into the water to bring it to a boil. What
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of the rock = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature of the rock = 500 °C

Mass of the water  =4.24 kg

⇒ loses 0.044kg as vapor

Initial temperature of the water = 29°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of rock = 0.20 kcal/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 1kcal/kg°C

Latent heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg

<u>Step 2:</u> formules

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qtotal,water = Qwater +Qvapor

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate Qvapor

Qvapor = mass of vapor * Latent heat of vapor

Qvapor = 0.044kg * 539 kcal/kg = 23.716 kcal

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate Qwater

Qwater = mass of water * specific heat * Δtemperature

Qwater = 4.196 kg * 1kcal/kg°C *( 100-29)

Qwater = 297.916 kcal

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate Qwater,total

Qwater,total = Qwater + Qvapor

Qwater,total = 23.716 kcal + 297.916 = 321.632 kcal

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate Qrock

Qrock = mass of rock * specific heat rock * Δtemperature

Qrock = mass of rock * 0.20 kcal/kg°C * (100-500)

Qrock = mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg

<u>Step 7:</u> Calculate mass of rock

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qlost,rock = -Qgained,water

mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg = -321.632 kcal

mass of rock = 4.02 kg

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Learning Goal:To understand and be able to use the rules for determining allowable orbital angular momentum states.Several numbe
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) for a given n value the l value can be from 0 to n-1

So if n= 5 it can take 0,1,2,3,4

i.e it can take 5 values

2)for an electron with l =3

it can be from -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3

i.e it can take 7 values

3) n = 3 !!

l = 0 , 1 , 2

for l=0 , m = 0 total = 1

for l= 1 ,m = -1,0,1 total = 3

for l = 2, m=-2,-1,0,1,2 total = 5

5+3+1 = 9

total possible states = 9 * 2 = 18

Answer is 168

4)given l=3 and n=3

orbital quantum number cannot be equal to principal quantum number

its max value is l-1 only

5)L = sqrt(l(l+1))x h'

for it to be max l should be max

for n = 3 max l value is 2

therfore it is sqrt(2(2+1)) x h'

\sqrt(6) \times h'

this is the answer

9. How much work is done when a 15kg box is lifted to a height of 2 meters?
torisob [31]

Answer: W = 294 J

Explanation: Solution:

Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.

W = Fd        where F = mg

W= Fd

   = mg d

   = 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )

   = 294 J
