B) law of conservation of momentum

It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.

In this case total momentum before impact:

10kg*5m/s + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s

After Impact:

10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s

You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s

Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.

An automobile tire is inflated with air originally at 10.0°C and normal atmospheric pressure. During the process, the air is com

solong [7]

Answer:

(a) $3.81\times 10^5\ Pa$

(b) $4.19\times 1065\ Pa$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

$T_1$ = The first temperature of air inside the tire = $10^\circ C =(273+10)\ K =283\ K$

$T_2$ = The second temperature of air inside the tire = $46^\circ C =(273+46)\ K= 319\ K$

$T_3$ = The third temperature of air inside the tire = $85^\circ C =(273+85)\ K=358 \ K$

$V_1$ = The first volume of air inside the tire

$V_2$ = The second volume of air inside the tire = $30\% V_1 = 0.3V_1$

$V_3$ = The third volume of air inside the tire = $2\%V_2+V_2= 102\%V_2=1.02V_2$

$P_1$ = The first pressure of air inside the tire = $1.01325\times 10^5\ Pa$

<u>Assume:</u>

$P_2$ = The second pressure of air inside the tire

$P_3$ = The third pressure of air inside the tire
n = number of moles of air

Since the amount pof air inside the tire remains the same, this means the number of moles of air in the tire will remain constant.

Using ideal gas equation, we have

$PV = nRT\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PV}{T}=nR = constant\,\,\,(\because n,\ R\ are\ constants)$

Part (a):

Using the above equation for this part of compression in the air, we have

$\therefore \dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}\times \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\times P_1\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{0.3V_1}\times \dfrac{319}{283}\times 1.01325\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_2 =3.81\times 10^5\ Pa$

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the compression is $3.81\times 10^5\ Pa$ .

Part (b):

Again using the equation for this part for the air, we have

$\therefore \dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}=\dfrac{P_3V_3}{T_3}\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{V_3}\times \dfrac{T_3}{T_2}\times P_2\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{1.02V_2}\times \dfrac{358}{319}\times 3.81\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_3 =4.19\times 10^5\ Pa$

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the car i driven at high speed is $4.19\times 10^5\ Pa$ .

What are the two ways to create plasma?

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Plasma can be artificially generated by heating a neutral gas or subjecting it to a strong electromagnetic field to the point where an ionized gaseous substance becomes increasingly electrically conductive.

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains two 50.0 32

Alex Ar [27]

82ohms

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance in the circuit is 82ohms

Given parameters:

R1 = 50ohms

R2 = 32ohms

Unknown:

Equivalent resistance = ?

Solution:

A resistor is an body in circuit that opposes the flow of electric current.

Resistors are usually connected in circuit and in series arrangement.

When resistors are connected in series, they have the same current passing through them.

Equivalent resistance is the sum of each of the connected resistors

Equivalent resistance = R1 + R2 = 50 + 32 = 82ohms
