Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0   as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.

The density of gasoline is 730 kg/m3 at 0°C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 10-4(°C)−1. Assume 1.00 gal of
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 0.4911 kg

Explanation:

We have the following data:

\rho_{0\°C}= 730 kg/m^{3} is the density of gasoline at 0\°C

\beta=9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1} is the average coefficient of volume expansion

We need to find the extra kilograms of gasoline.

So, firstly we need to transform the volume of gasoline from gallons to m^{3}:

V=8.50 gal \frac{0.00380 m^{3}}{1 gal}=0.0323 m^{3} (1)

Knowing density is given by: \rho=\frac{m}{V}, we can find the mass m_{1} of 8.50 gallons:

m_{1}=\rho_{0\°C}V

m_{1}=(730 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})=23.579 kg (2)

Now, we have to calculate the factor f by which the volume of gasoline is increased with the temperature, which is given by:

f=(1+\beta(T_{f}-T_{o})) (3)

Where T_{o}=0\°C is the initial temperature and T_{f}=21.7\°C is the final temperature.

f=(1+9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}(21.7\°C-0\°C)) (4)

f=1.020832 (5)

With this, we can calculate the density of gasoline at 21.7\°C:

\rho_{21.7\°C}=730 kg/m^{3} f=(730 kg/m^{3})(1.020832)

\rho_{21.7\°C}=745.207 kg/m^{3} (6)

Now we can calculate the mass of gasoline at this temperature:

m_{2}=\rho_{21.7\°C}V (7)

m_{2}=(745.207 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3}) (8)

m_{2}=24.070 kg (9)

And finally calculate the mass difference \Delta m:

\Delta m=m_{2}-m_{1}=24.070 kg-23.579 kg (10)

\Delta m=0.4911 kg (11) This is the extra mass of gasoline
