Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.

60 m long. the first moves past her in 1.80 s and the second in 1.66 s. find the constant acceleration of the train.

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.

A mxiture of n2 and H2 has mole fraction of 0.4 and 0.6 respectively. Determine the density of the mixture at one bar and 0 c.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The density of the mixture is 0.55kg/m^3

Explanation:

P = 1bar = 100kN/m^2, T = 0°C = 273K, n = 0.4+0.6 = 1mole

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P = 1×8.314×273/100 = 22.70m^3

Mass of N2 = 0.4×28 = 11.2kg

Mass of H2 = 0.6×2 = 1.2kg

Mass of mixture = 11.2 + 1.2 = 12.4kg

Density of mixture = mass/volume = 12.4/22.7 = 0.55kg/m^3

A paper airplane moving 2.33 m/s has 0.161 J of KE. What is its mass? (Unit = kg)
LekaFEV [45]

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

KE = 0.5mv²

KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = speed

Given values:

KE = 0.161J, v = 2.33m/s

Plug in and solve for m:

0.161 = 0.5m(2.33)²

m = 0.059kg
