At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 93 m long. It was a rainy day and the coeffi

cient of friction was estimated to be 0.35. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units

Answer:

u = 25 m/s

Explanation:

given,

length of skid = 93 m

coefficient of friction = 0.35

final velocity = 0 m/s

initial velocity = ?

force here is friction f = μ mg

F = ma

now com paring

-μ mg = m a

a = - μ g

a = - 0.35 x 9.8

a = -3.43 m/s²

we know,

v² = u² + 2 a s

0 = u² - 2 x 3.43 x 93

u² = 637.98

u = 25.26 m/s

u = 25 m/s (two significant figure)

A mixture of nitrogen and xenon gases, at a total pressure of 836 mm Hg, contains 2.80 grams of nitrogen and 24.9 grams of xenon

larisa86 [58]

Answer: Partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas is given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_A=p_T\times \chi_A$

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of substance A

$p_T$ = total pressure

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of substance A

We are given:

$m_{N_2}=2.80g$

$m_{Xe}=24.9g$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

And,

$n_A=\frac{m_A}{M_A}$

Mole fraction of nitrogen is given as:

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{\frac{m_{N_2}}{M_{N_2}}}{(\frac{m_{N_2}}{M_{N_2}}+\frac{m_{Xe}}{M_{Xe}})}$

Molar mass of $N_2$ = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of $Xe$ = g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{\frac{2.80}{28}}{\frac{2.80}{28}+\frac{24.9}{131}}$

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.100}{0.100+0.190}=0.345$

To calculate the mole fraction of xenon, we use the equation:

$\chi_{Xe}+\chi_{N_2}=1\\\\\chi_{Xe}=1-0.345=0.655$

$p_{N_2}=836mmHg\times 0.345=288mmHg$

$p_{Xe}=836mmHg\times 0.655=548mmHg$

Thus partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

The intensity of light from a star (its brightness) is the power it outputs divided by the surface area over which it’s spread:

kow [346]

Answer:

$\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=0.36$

Explanation:

1. We can find the temperature of each star using the Wien's Law. This law is given by:

$\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}=\frac{2.9x10^{-3}[mK]}{T[K]}$ (1)

So, the temperature of the first and the second star will be:

$T_{1}=3866.7 K$

$T_{2}=6444.4 K$

Now the relation between the absolute luminosity and apparent brightness is given:

$L=l\cdot 4\pi r^{2}$ (2)

Where:

L is the absolute luminosity
l is the apparent brightness
r is the distance from us in light years

Now, we know that two stars have the same apparent brightness, in other words l₁ = l₂

If we use the equation (2) we have:

$\frac{L_{1}}{4\pi r_{1}^2}=\frac{L_{2}}{4\pi r_{2}^2}$

So the relative distance between both stars will be:

$\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$ (3)

The Boltzmann Law says, $L=A\sigma T^{4}$ (4)

σ is the Boltzmann constant
A is the area
T is the temperature
L is the absolute luminosity

Let's put (4) in (3) for each star.

$\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{A_{1}\sigma T_{1}^{4}}{A_{2}\sigma T_{2}^{4}}$

As we know both stars have the same size we can canceled out the areas.

$\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}$

$\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}}$

$\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}}$

$\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=0.36$

I hope it helps!
