Answer:

Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Mass of bullet = 0.0140 kg

Consider east as positive.

Initial velocity of bullet = 205 m/s

Mass of Block = 1.8 kg

Initial velocity of block = 0 m/s

Initial momentum = 0.014 x 205 + 1.8 x 0 = 2.87 kg m/s

Final velocity of bullet = -103 m/s

We need to find final velocity of the block( u )

Final momentum = 0.014 x -103+ 1.8 x u = -1.442 + 1.8 u

We have

            2.87 = -1.442 + 1.8 u

               u = 2.40 m/s

Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.

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

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²

The right eye and right lung are __________.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The correct answer is A) Ipsilateral

Explanation:

The term ipsilateral is commonly used to describe objects or structures that are on the same side of a body or structure. This term is correct to describe the right eye and the right lung because these two organs are on the same side of the body (the right side). This can also be used to describe other organs such as the left humerus and the left hand or the right ear and the right feet because these pairs are also on the same side. According to this, the correct answer is A.

Which of the following graph is used for determining the instantaneous velocity from the slope?
hoa [83]

Answer:

B. x - t graph

Explanation:

A position-time (x-t) graph is a graph of the position of an object against (versus) time.

Generally, the slope of the line of a position-time (x-t) graph is typically used to determine or calculate the velocity of an object.

An instantaneous velocity can be defined as the rate of change in position of an object in motion for a short-specified interval of time. Thus, an instantaneous velocity is a quantity that can be found by measuring the slope of a line that is tangent to a point on the graph.

Hence, the x - t graph also referred to as the position-time graph is used for determining the instantaneous velocity from the slope.

<u>For example;</u>

Given that the equation of motion is S(t) = 4t² + 2t + 10. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 5 seconds.

Solution.

S(t) = 4t^{2} + 2t + 10

Differentiating the equation, we have;

S(t) = 8t + 2

Substituting the value of "t" into the equation, we have;

S(5) = 8(5) + 2

S(5) = 40 + 2

S(5) = 42 m/s.
