Answer:

1. False 2) greater than. 3) less than 4) less than

Explanation:

1)

  • As the collision is perfectly elastic, kinetic energy must be conserved.
  • The expression for the final velocity of the mass m₁, for a perfectly elastic collision, is as follows:

        v_{1f} = v_{10} *\frac{m_{1} -m_{2} }{m_{1} +m_{2}}

  • As it can be seen, as m₁ ≠ m₂, v₁f ≠ 0.

2)

  • As total momentum must be conserved, we can see that as m₂ > m₁, from the equation above the final momentum of m₁ has an opposite sign to the initial one, so the momentum of m₂ must be greater than the initial momentum of m₁, to keep both sides of the equation balanced.

3)    

  • The maximum energy stored in the in the spring is given by the following expression:

       U =\frac{1}{2} *k * A^{2}

  • where A = maximum compression of the spring.
  • This energy is always the sum of the elastic potential energy and the kinetic energy of the mass (in absence of friction).
  • When the spring is in a relaxed state, the speed of the mass is maximum, so, its kinetic energy is maximum too.
  • Just prior to compress the spring, this kinetic energy is the kinetic energy of m₂, immediately after the collision.
  • As total kinetic energy must be conserved, the following condition must be met:

       KE_{10} = KE_{1f}  + KE_{2f}

  • So, it is clear that KE₂f  < KE₁₀
  • Therefore, the maximum energy stored in the spring is less than the initial energy in m₁.

4)

  • As explained above, if total kinetic energy must be conserved:

        KE_{10} = KE_{1f}  + KE_{2f}

  • So as kinetic energy is always positive, KEf₂ < KE₁₀.

Explain how the basic unit are combined to give the derived units of force, velocity, pressure and work
LuckyWell [14K]

Velocity:

Velocity is change in displacement with respect to time:

\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units, meters (displacement) and seconds (time) are basic units:

\frac{m}{s}

Therefore the unit of velocity is m/s

Force:

Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

Kilogram (mass) is a basic unit, and accelerations unit can be found using the equation:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units:

\frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}=\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the unit of force is:

kg\frac{m}{s^2}

Pressure:

Pressure is given by the equation:

P=\frac{F}{S} where S is area of effect, F is force

Area for a basic rectangle (geometric shape is arbitrary for dimensional analysis) is found by multiplying two lengths:

[l^2]=m^2, the unit of area

Dividing the aforementioned unit of force by the unit of area:

\frac{kg\frac{m}{s^2}}{m^2}=\frac{kg}{ms^2}, the unit of pressure

Work:

Work is given by the equation:

W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{x}, (dot product may be assumed as normal multiplication for the purposes of unit analysis)

Knowing displacement's (x) unit is m:

[W]=\frac{kgm}{s^2}m=\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}, the unit of work.

Nonconjugated β,γ-unsaturated ketones are in base-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated α,β-unsaturated isomers. The mecha
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equilibrium mechanism for the reversible acid is catalyzed by the isomerization of non conjugated β, γ- unsaturated ketones, like 3-cyclohexanone to their conjugated α, I²- unsaturated isomers.

Oxygen of the Carbonyl group in the ketone is protonated by the acid and this is followed by the abstraction of an α- hydrogen from the protonated 3-cyclo hexanone to yield ethanol

2-cyclo hexanone can be obtained by acid catalyzation of 3-cyclohexanone isomers through the formation of it's "enol".
