Answer:

10 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

mass of the moving object
speed of motion

In terms of an equation,

Momentum (P) = Mass(m)×velocity(v)

P = m×v

600 = 60 × v ⇒ v = 10 ms⁻¹

When a fixed amount of ideal gas goes through an isobaric expansion A) its internal (thermal) energy does not change.B) the gas

Bingel [31]

<h2>Answer: its temperature must increase.</h2>

Explanation:

In an isobaric process the pressure remains constant, which means the initial pressure and the final pressure will be the same.

In addition, during this thermodynamic process, the volume of the ideal gas expands or contracts in such a way that the variation of pressure $\Delta P$ is neutralized.

Now, according to the First law of Thermodynamics that establishes the conservation of energy:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta U$ is the internal energy

$\Delta Q$ is the heat transferred

$\Delta W$ is the work

Now, for an isobaric process:

$\Delta W=P\Delta V$ (2)

Where:

$P$ is the pressure (always positive)

$\Delta V$ is the volume variation of the gas

Here we have two possible results:

-If the gas expands (positive $\Delta V$ ), the work is positive.

-If the gas compresses (negative $\Delta V$ ), the work is negative.

In this case we are talking about the first result (work is positive).

Then, according to the above, equation (1) can be written as follows:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q - P\Delta V$ (3)

Clearing $\Delta Q$ :

$\Delta Q=\Delta U+P \Delta V$ (4)

Then, for an ideal gas in an isobaric process, part of the heat ( $Q$ ) added to the system will be used to do work (positive in this case) and the other part will increase the internal energy, hence the temperature will increase as well.

In a Little League baseball game, the 145 g ball enters the strike zone with a speed of 17.0 m/s . The batter hits the ball, and

VMariaS [17]

Hi there!

Impulse = Change in momentum

I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)

Where:

m = mass of object (kg)

vf = final velocity (m/s)

vi = initial velocity (m/s)

Begin by converting grams to kilograms:

1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg

Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.

I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns

The magnitude is the absolute value, so:

|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns

How can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

I am absolutely sure that the way how can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter is of course by connecting a. low resistance across the meter. You should remember that you must connect a shunt resistor straight across the galvanometer. Do hope this answer will help you! Regards.

An inclined plane is 5.00 m long and 3.00 m high. What is the ideal mechanical advantage of this machine?

Dvinal [7]

inclined plane formula is length/hight

so 5/2= 2.5

and work= f x d so
work= 5 x 104 x 10= 5200 W
