On a straight, level, two-lane road, two cars moving in opposite directions approach and pass each other. Car A is in the eastbo

und lane moving with a speed of 11 m/s, and Car B is in the westbound lane moving with a speed of 31 m/s.
(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of car A as seen by the driver of car B? magnitude m/s direction
(b) What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of car B as seen by the driver of car A? magnitude m/s direction

Answer:

a) 42 m/s, positive direction (to the east), b) 42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

Explanation:

a) Let consider that Car A is moving at positive direction. Then, the relative velocity of Car A as seen by the driver of Car B is:

\vec v_{A/B} = \vec v_{A} - \vec v_{B}\\\vec v_{A/B} = 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i + 31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{A/B} = 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i

42 m/s, positive direction (to the east).

b) The relative velocity of Car B as seen by the drive of Car A is:

\vec v_{B/A} = \vec v_{B} - \vec v_{A}\\\vec v_{B/A} = -31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i - 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{B/A} = - 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i

42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

At 4.00 l, an expandable vessel contains 0.864 mol of oxygen gas. how many liters of oxygen gas must be added at constant temper
svet-max [94.6K]

Givens
=====
V = 4.00 L
T = 273oK We're assuming the temperature does not change, just the pressure.
n = 0.864 moles
R = 8.314 joules / mole  * oK
P = ?????

Formula
======
PV = n*R*T
P = n*R*T/V
P = 0.864 * 8.314 * 273 / 4
P = 490 kpa


You have to add 1.6 – 0.864 = 0.736 moles of gas.


We have to assume that the temperature and pressure remain the same when we add the 0.736 moles of gas. We are now looking for the volume.


PV = n*R*T

<span> V = 0.736 * 8.314 * 273 / 490</span>

V = 3.41 L Remember this is at about 4 atmospheres so we have to convert to Standard Pressure.

Total Volume = 3.41 + 4.00 = 4.41


V1 * P1 = V2 * P2

P1 = 490 kPa

P2 = 101 kPa

V1 = 7.41 L

V2 = ????


<span> <span> 7.41* 490 = V2 * 101 V2 = 7.41 * 490 / 101 V2 = 35.94 L </span> </span>


<span>You had 4 L now you need 31.94 more.</span>
