Block A, with a mass of 4.0 kg, is moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s while block B, with a mass of 6.0 kg, is moving in the opposit

e direction with a speed of 5.0 m/s. What is the momentum of the two-block system

Answer:

The momentum of the two-block system is 18 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of block A, $m_A=4\ kg$

Mass of block B, $m_B=6\ kg$

Velocity of block A, $v_A=3\ m/s$

Velocity of block B, $v_B=-5\ m/s$ (it is moving in opposite direction)

We need to find the momentum of two block system. It is given by the product of mass and velocity for both blocks i.e.

$p=m_Av_A+m_Bv_B$

$p=4\ kg\times 3\ m/s+6\ kg\times (-5\ m/s)$

p = -18 kg-m/s

So, the momentum of two block system is 18 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the car's average velocity (in m/s) in the interval between t = 1.0 s<br> to t = 1.5 s?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

1.4 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following data:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 0.9 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 1.6 m

Initial time (t1) = 1.5 secs

Final time (t2) = 2 secs

Velocity (v) =..?

The velocity of an object can be defined as the rate of change of the displacement of the object with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as follow:

Velocity = change of displacement /time

v = Δd / Δt

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the velocity of the car as follow:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 0.9 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 1.6 m

Change in displacement (Δd) = d2 – d1 = 1.6 – 0.9

= 0.7 m

Initial time (t1) = 1.5 secs

Final time (t2) = 2 secs

Change in time (Δt) = t2 – t1

= 2 – 1.5

= 0.5 s

Velocity (v) =..?

v = Δd / Δt

v = 0.7/0.5

v = 1.4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 1.4 m/s

A mole of ideal gas expands at T=27 °C. The pressure changes from 20 atm to 1 atm. What’s the work that the gas has done and wha

Airida [17]

Answer:

The work made by the gas is 7475.69 joules
The heat absorbed is 7475.69 joules

Explanation:

<h3>Work</h3>

We know that the differential work made by the gas its defined as:

$dW = P \ dv$

We can solve this by integration:

$\Delta W = \int\limits_{s_1}^{s_2}\,dW = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv$

but, first, we need to find the dependence of Pressure with Volume. For this, we can use the ideal gas law

$P \ V = \ n \ R \ T$

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

This give us

$\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V} \ dv$

As n, R and T are constants

$\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \ n \ R \ T \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{1}{V} \ dv$

$\Delta W= \ n \ R \ T \left [ ln (V) \right ]^{v_2}_{v_1}$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln (\frac{v_2}{v_1})$

But the volume is:

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

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln(\frac{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_2}}{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_1}} )$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln(\frac{P_1}{P_2})$

Now, lets use the value from the problem.

The temperature its:

$T = 27 \° C = 300.15 \ K$

The ideal gas constant:

$R = 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol}$

So:

$\Delta W = \ 1 mol \ 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol} \ 300.15 \ K ln (\frac{20 atm}{1 atm})$

$\Delta W = 7475.69 joules$

<h3>Heat</h3>

We know that, for an ideal gas, the energy is:

$E= c_v n R T$

where $c_v$ its the internal energy of the gas. As the temperature its constant, we know that the gas must have the energy is constant.

By the first law of thermodynamics, we know

$\Delta E = \Delta Q - \Delta W$

where $\Delta W$ is the Work made by the gas (please, be careful with this sign convention, its not always the same.)

So:

$\Delta E = 0$

$\Delta Q = \Delta W$
