Two 125 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car X is moving at 10 m/s and Car Z at −12 m/s when

they collide headon. If the resulting velocity of Car Z after the collision is 10 m/s, what is the velocity of Car X after the collision?

<h2>Given that,</h2>

Mass of two bumper cars, m₁ = m₂ = 125 kg

Initial speed of car X is, u₁ = 10 m/s

Initial speed of car Z is, u₂ = -12 m/s

Final speed of car Z, v₂ = 10 m/s

We need to find the final speed of car X after the collision. Let v₁ is its final speed. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as follows :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

v₁ is the final speed of car X.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\\m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_2v_2\\\\m_1v_1=125\times 10+125\times (-12)-125\times 10\\\\v_1=\dfrac{-1500}{125}\\\\v_1=-12\ m/s

So, car X will move with a velocity of -12 m/s.

The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gilding bird is measured to be 52.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

d=7.115s

Explanation:

What problem says can be written mathematically as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

v=Velocity\\t=Time\\d=Distance

The problem itself it's really simple, we only need to replace the data provided in the previous equation, but first, let's convert the units of the velocity from cm/s to m/s because we have to work with the same units and working in meters is the most apropiate action, because is the base unit of length in the International System of Units:

52\frac{cm}{s} *\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.52\frac{m}{s}

Now, we can replace the data in the equation and find the time it will take the bird to travel 3.7 m:

0.52=\frac{3.7}{t}

Solving for t, multiplying by t both sides, and dividing by 0.52 both sides:

t=\frac{3.7}{0.52} =7.115384615s\approx7.115s

Calculate the specific heat at constant volume of water vapor, assuming the nonlinear triatomic molecule has three translational
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

I) c=1385.667\frac{J}{kg K}

II)The difference from the value obtained on part I is: 2000-1385.67 =614.33 \frac{J}{Kg K}

The possible reason of this difference is that the vibrational motion can increase the value, since if we take in count this factor we will have a higher heat capacity, because molecules with vibrational motion require more heat to vibrate and necessary higher specific heat capacity.

Explanation:

From the problem we have the molar mass given M=18\frac{gr}{mol} of water vapor and at constant volume condition. It's important to say that the vapour molecules have 3 transitionsl and 3 rotational degrees of freedom and the rotational motion no contribution.

Part I

Calculate the specific heat at constant volume of water vapor, assuming the nonlinear triatomic molecule has three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom and that vibrational motion does not contribute. The molar mass of water is 18.0 g/mol=0.018kg/mol.

Let C_v (\frac{J}{Kg K}) the molar heat capacity at constant volume and this amount represent the quantity of heat absorbed by mole.

Let C (\frac{J}{Kg K}) the specific heat capcity this value represent the heat capacity aboserbed by mass.

For the problem we have a total of 6 degrees of freedom and from the thoery we know that for each degree of freedom the molar heat capacity at constant volume is given by C_v =\frac{R}{2} so the total for the 6 degrees of freedom would be:

C_v =6*\frac{R}{2}=3R=3x8.314\frac{J}{mol K}=24.942\frac{J}{mol K}

And by definition we know that the specific heat capacity is defined:

c=\frac{C_V}{M}

If we replace all the values we have:

c=\frac{24.942\frac{J}{mol K}}{0.018\frac{kg}{mol}}=1385.667\frac{J}{kg K}

So on this case the specific heat capacity with constant volume and with three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom is c=1385.667\frac{J}{kg K}

Part II

The actual specific heat of water vapor at low pressures is about 2000 J/(kg * K). Compare this with your calculation.

The difference from the value obtained on part I is: 2000-1385.67 =614.33 \frac{J}{Kg K}

The possible reason of this difference is that the vibrational motion can increase the value, since if we take in count this factor we will have a higher heat capacity, because molecules with vibrational motion require more heat to vibrate and necessary higher specific heat capacity.
