Which of the following are inertial reference frames? A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. B. A car dr

Aloiza [94]

Answers:

A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road.

B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in an inertial reference frame if the net force acting on the object is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also means that the acceleration of the object is also zero:

$F=ma$

Since F=0, a=0 as well.

Let's now analyze each case.

A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.

B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.

C. A car speeding up after leaving a stop sign. --> NO: this is not an intertial reference frame, because the car is speeding up, so it is accelerating.

D. A car driving at steady speed around a curve. --> NO: this is not an inertial reference frame, because the car is changing direction, therefore its velocity is changing and so the car is accelerating.

So the only two choices which are correct are A and B.

katrin [286]

Answer:

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force equation: F = ma

F = ma -> a = F/m = 2.8*10^3 N / 3.5*10^3 kg = 0.8 m/s^2

Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands into a vacuum? Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands int

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The entropy of a gas increases when it expands into a vacuum because the number of possible states increases .

Explanation:

When a gas expand in a vacuum, the molecules of the gases vibrates very fast and starting moving with higher velocity in random directions which means the level of disorder in the gases increases.

Now the possible state of the gas molecule increases such as the particle can be located at different position due to increased randomness.

<u>Entropy is the measure of this randomness and thus with this increased randomness entropy also increases.</u>

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field that is directed in the positive xx direction with magn

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The change in potential energy is $\Delta PE = - 3.8*10^{-16} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the uniform electric field is $E = 950 \ N/C$

The distance traveled by the electron is $x = 2.50 \ m$

Generally the force on this electron is mathematically represented as

$F = qE$

Where F is the force and q is the charge on the electron which is a constant value of $q = 1.60*10^{-19} \ C$

Thus

$F = 950 * 1.60 **10^{-19}$

$F = 1.52 *10^{-16} \ N$

Generally the work energy theorem can be mathematically represented as

$W = \Delta KE$

Where W is the workdone on the electron by the Electric field and $\Delta KE$ is the change in kinetic energy

Also workdone on the electron can also be represented as

$W = F* x *cos( \theta )$

Where $\theta = 0 ^o$ considering that the movement of the electron is along the x-axis

So

$\Delta KE = F * x cos (0)$

substituting values

$\Delta KE = 1.52 *10^{-16} * 2.50 cos (0)$

$\Delta KE = 3.8*10^{-16} J$

Now From the law of energy conservation

$\Delta PE = - \Delta KE$

Where $\Delta PE$ is the change in potential energy

Thus

$\Delta PE = - 3.8*10^{-16} \ J$
