Answer:

a)there is collision

b)V=7.79m/s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t                                     (1)

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X                (2)

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}                   (3)

X=(Vf+Vo)T/2                                 (4)

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

To solve this problem, we use equation number 2 to calculate the distance traveled after the end of a movement with constant speed with a time of 0.2s, if it is less than 36.576m there is no collision.

Xt=X1+X2 (5)

X1= distance traveled with constant speed

X1=distance traveled with constant acceleration

for X1

X1=Vt

where

V=50mph=22.35m/s

t=0.2

X1=0.2x22.35m/s

X1=4.47m

for X2 using ecuation number 2

Vo=22.35m/s

Vf=0m/s

a=-6m/s^2

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X    

{0^{2}-22.35^2}/{(2).(6)} =X    

x2=41.626m

Xt=x1+x2

Xt=41.626+4.47=49m

as the distance traveled is 49m the cars crash

b) to calculate the final speed we use the ecuation number tow(2)

X=36.576m

Vo=22.35m/s

a=-6m/s^2

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X  

solving for vf

Vf=\sqrt[2]{2ax+Vo^{2} }

Vf=\sqrt[2]{2(-6)(36.576)+22.352^{2} }=7.79m/s

In comparing molar specific heat for gases under constant pressure CP and constant volume CV, we conclude that (more than one co
Sauron [17]

Answer:

b. Specific heat increases as the number of atoms per molecule increases.

c. Specific heat at constant pressure is higher than at constant volume.

d. Monatomic gases behave like ideal gases.

Explanation:

Specific heat of the gas at constant pressure is usually higher than that of the volume.

i.e.

Cp - Cv = R

where R is usually the gas constant.

However, monoatomic gases are gases that exhibit the behavior of ideal gases. This is due to the attribute of the intermolecular forces which plays a negligible role. Nonetheless, the case is not always true for all temperatures and pressure.

Similarly, the increase in the number of atoms per molecule usually brings about an increase in specific heat. This effect is true as a result of an increase in the total number associated with the degree of freedom from which energy can be separated.

Thus, from above explanation:

Option b,c,d are correct while option (a) is incorrect.

The figure above shows a rod that is fixed to a horizontal surface at pivot P The rod is initially rotating
Lisa [10]

The angular speed is decreasing and direction of rotation clockwise of the rod immediately after time t.

<h3></h3><h3>What is angular speed ?</h3>

The rate of change of angular displacement is defined as angular speed.  It is stated as follows:

ω = θ t

Where,

θ is the angle of rotation,

t is the time

ω is the angular velocity

The torque is found as;l

\rm  T = F \times r

If the force is acting on the rod  from the three point is the same, the value of the torque is depends upon the radius or the perpendicular distance.

The perpendicular distance of the right force is grater. Hence, the force acting on the right side is more, and the rod will rotate clockwise.

Both the forces are acting downwards. Thus, the resultant force is the less due to which the speed is increasing.

Hence, the angular speed is decreasing and direction of rotation clockwise of the rod immediately after time t.

To learn more about the angular speed, refer to the link;

You throw a tennis ball straight up (neglect air resistance). It takes 7.0 seconds to go up and then return to your hand. How fa
sattari [20]

Answer:

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

Explanation:

Time taken by the tennis ball to reach maximum height, t = 0.5 x 7 = 3.5 seconds.

Let the initial velocity be u, we have acceleration due to gravity, a = -9.81 m/s² and final velocity = 0 m/s

Equation of motion result we have v = u + at

Substituting

             0 = u - 9.81 x 3.5

             u = 34.335 m/s

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s
