A 1200-kg SUV is moving alone a straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car, with mass 1800 kg and speed 20.0 m/s, has its center

of mass 40.0 m ahead of the center of mass of the SUV. Find (a) the position of the center of mass of the system consisting of the two cars; (b) the magnitude of the system’s total momentum, by using the given data; (c) the speed of the system’s center of mass; (d) the system’s total momentum, by using the speed of the center of mass. Compare your result with that of part (b).

Answer:

A) d = 24 m

B) 50400 kg.m/s

C) v₀ = 16.8 m/s

D) 50400 kg.m/s. It's equal to the momentum found in part B.

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of station wagon;m1 = 1200 kg Velocity; V = 12 m/s

Mass of car; m2 = 1800 kg

Velocity of car; v2 = 20 m/s

a ) Let centre of mass of car and station wagon be at a distance d from wagon

Thus,

If we take moment of weight about it, we have;

1200 x d = 1800 x ( 40 - d )

Where, d is the position of the center of mass of the system consisting of the two cars

Thus,

1200d = 72000 - 1800d

1200d + 1800d = 72000

3000 d = 72,000

d = 72,000/3000

d = 24 m

b ) Total momentum= m1•v1 + m2•v2

= (1200 x 12) + (1800 x 20)

= 14400 + 36000

= 50400 kg.m/s

c ) Let speed of centre of mass be v₀

Thus,

v₀ = (m1•v1 + m2•v2)/(m1 + m2)

v₀ = 50400/(1200 + 1800)

v₀ = 50400/3000

v₀ = 16.8 m/s

d) System Total momentum = velocity of centre mass x total mass

Thus,

Total momentum = v₀(m1 + m2)

= 16.8(3000) = 50400 kg.m/s .

This value is equal to what was calculated in part b

nata0808 [166]
One way that the world's ocean affects weather and climate is by playing an important role in keeping our planet warm. ... The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation.

Calculate the standard electrode potential difference (e°) of the daniell cell (at 1 bar) if temperature is 473.15 k.
anzhelika [568]
Missing data in the text of the exercise: The molar concentration of Zinc is 10 times the molar concentration of copper.

Solution:

1) First of all, let's calculate the standard electrode potential difference at standard temperature. This is given by:
E^0=E_{cat}^0-E_{an}^0
where E_{cat}^0 is the standard potential at the cathode, while E_{an}^0 is the standard potential at the anode. For a Daniel Cell, at the cathode we have copper: E_{Cu}^0=+0.34 V, while at the anode we have zinc: E_{Zn}^0=-0.76 V. Therefore, at standard temperature the electrode potential difference of the Daniel Cell is
E^0=+0.34 V-(-0.76 V)=+1.1 V

2) To calculate E^0 at any temperature T, we should use Nerst equation:
E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln  \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}
where 
R=8.31 J/(K mol)
T=473.15 K is the temperature in our problem
z=2 is the number of electrons transferred in the cell's reaction
F=9.65\cdot 10^4 C/mol is the Faraday's constant
[Zn] and [Cu] are the molar concentrations of zinc and in copper, and in our problem we have [Zn]=10[Cu].
Using all these data inside the equation, and using E^0=+1.1 V, in the end we find:
E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}=+1.053 V
