The brakes on your automobile are capable of creating a deceleration of 4.6 m/s^2. If you are going 114 km/h and suddenly see a

state trooper, what is the minimum time in which you can get your car under the 79 km/h speed limit? (The answer reveals the futility of braking to keep your high speed from being detected with a radar or laser gun.)

Answer:

The minimum time to get the car under max. speed limit of 79 km/h is 2.11 seconds.

Explanation:

a=\frac{V_f-V_0}{t}

isolating "t" from this equation:

t=\frac{V_f-V_0}{a}

Where:

a=-4.6m/s^2 (negative because is decelerating)

V_f= 79 km/h

V_0= 114 km/h

First we must convert velocity from km/h to m/s to be consistent with units.

79\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1 km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=\frac{79*1000}{3600}=21.94 m/s

114\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1 km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=\frac{114*1000}{3600}=31.67 m/s

So;

t=\frac{V_f-V_0}{a}=\frac{21.94 m/s-31.66m/s}{-4.6 m/s^2}=2.11 s

sineoko [7]

Answer:

2.03 x 10²⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of moon = 7.34 x 10²²kg

Mass of the earth  = 5.97 x 10²⁴kg

Distance  = 3.8 x 10⁵km

Unknown:

Gravitational force of attraction  = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational force of attraction between the masses, we use the expression below;

   F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

1 and 2 represents moon and earth

r is  the distance

  F = \frac{6.67 x 10^{-11}  x 7.34 x 10^{22} x 5.97 x 10^{24}  }{(3.8 x 10^{5})^{2}  }

 F = \frac{2.92 x 10^{35} }{1.44 x 10^{11} }  = 2.03 x 10²⁴N

If a quasar is moving away from us at v/c = 0.8, what is the measured redshift?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The measured redshift is z =2

Explanation:

Since the object is traveling near light speed, since v/c = 0.8, then we have to use a redshift formula for relativistic speeds.

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{c+v}{c-v}}-1

Finding the redshift.

We can prepare the formula by dividing by lightspeed inside the square root to both numerator and denominator to get

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1+\cfrac vc}{1-\cfrac vc}}-1

Replacing the given information

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1+0.8}{1-0.8}}-1

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1.8}{0.2}}-1\\z= \sqrt{9}}-1\\z=3-1\\z=2

Thus the measured redshift is z = 2.

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature(T_i)=300 K

P_i=10 atm

P_f=2 atm

Work done in iso-thermal process=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}

P_i=initial pressure

P_f=Final Pressure

W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is=P\Delta V

V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L

V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L

\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J

\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J

\Delta U=0
