Two cars start a race with initial velocity 7ms-1 and 4ms-1 respectively.Their acceleration are 0.4ms-2 and 0.5ms-2 respectively

.If the two cars finish the race at the same time,what is the distance of the track?

The distance of the track is 600 m

Explanation:

The two cars move by uniformly accelerated motion, so we the distance they cover after a time t is described by the following suvat equation

$d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

For car 1, we have

$d_1 = u_1 t + \frac{1}{2}a_1 t^2$

where

$u_1 = 7 m/s$ is the initial velocity of car 1

$a_1 = 0.4 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of car 1

So the equation can be rewritten as

$d_1 = 7t + 0.2t^2$

For car 2, we have

$d_2 = u_2 t + \frac{1}{2}a_2 t^2$

where

$u_2 = 4 m/s$ is the initial velocity of car 2

$a_2 = 0.5 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of car 2

So the equation can be rewritten as

$d_2= 5t + 0.25t^2$

The two cars finish the race at the same time: this means that they cover the same distance in the same time t, so we can write

$d_1 = d_2\\7t + 0.2t^2=5t + 0.25t^2$

And solving for t, we find

$2t - 0.05t^2= 0\\t(2-0.05t)=0$

Which gives two solutions:

t = 0 (initial instant)

t = 40 s

Therefore, the distance of the track is

$d_1 = 7t +0.2t^2 = 7\cdot 40+0.2\cdot 40^2=600 m$

38.4 mol of krypton is in a rigid box of volume 64 cm^3 and is initially at temperature 512.88°C. The gas then undergoes isobari

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Final volumen first process $V_{2} = 98,44 cm^{3}$

Final Pressure second process $P_{3} = 1,317 * 10^{10} Pa$

Explanation:

Using the Ideal Gases Law yoy have for pressure:

$P_{1} = \frac{n_{1} R T_{1} }{V_{1} }$

where:

P is the pressure, in Pa

n is the nuber of moles of gas

R is the universal gas constant: 8,314 J/mol K

T is the temperature in Kelvin

V is the volumen in cubic meters

Given that the amount of material is constant in the process:

$n_{1} = n_{2} = n$

In an isobaric process the pressure is constant so:

$P_{1} = P_{2}$

$\frac{n R T_{1} }{V_{1} } = \frac{n R T_{2} }{V_{2} }$

$\frac{T_{1} }{V_{1} } = \frac{T_{2} }{V_{2} }$

$V_{2} = \frac{T_{2} V_{1} }{T_{1} }$

Replacing : $T_{1} =786 K, T_{2} =1209 K, V_{1} = 64 cm^{3}$

$V_{2} = 98,44 cm^{3}$

Replacing on the ideal gases formula the pressure at this piont is:

$P_{2} = 3,92 * 10^{9} Pa$

For Temperature the ideal gases formula is:

$T = \frac{P V }{n R }$

For the second process you have that $T_{2} = T_{3}$ So:

$\frac{P_{2} V_{2} }{n R } = \frac{P_{3} V_{3} }{n R }$

$P_{2} V_{2} = P_{3} V_{3}$

$P_{3} = \frac{P_{2} V_{2}}{V_{3}}$

$P_{3} = 1,317 * 10^{10} Pa$

Joan stirred a pot of hot soup with a metal spoon. after a minute or two, the handle of the spoon became too hot to hold. what k

natima [27]

When the metal spoon comes in contact with the hot soup, heat transfer from hot soup to the spoon because of difference in temperature of the two. The kind of heat transfer represented here is conduction. In conduction, heat is transferred from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature when there is a physical contact between the two.

A student has the following equipment - copper wire, nail made of iron,a battery, paperclips.

Anna11 [10]

Taking the copper wire, he has to wind it around the nail made of iron. After which, he then connect both ends of the copper wire to the battery, so an electric charge travels through the wire. This is the basic electromagnet. Since a current is now flowing through the wire, a magnetic field is produced. Placing the electromagnet near the mixture of copper and iron, the magnet should attract the pieces of iron, as iron is more magnetic compared to copper. This is done over a period of time, so that only the copper pieces are left in the mixture.
