Answer:

The distance is 54.6 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.0 kg

Frictional coefficient = 0.21

Initial velocity = 15 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of frictional force

$F = \mu mg$

$F=0.21\times2.0\times9.8$

$F = 4.12\ N$

We need to calculate the acceleration

$F = ma$

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a =\dfrac{4.12}{2.0}$

$a=2.06\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the initial velocity

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2-2as$

Put the value

$0=15^2-2\times2.06\times s$

$s = \dfrac{15^2}{2\times2.06}$

$s=54.6\ m$

Hence, The distance will be 54.6 m.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The

nordsb [41]

Answer:

$t=6.96s$

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are <u>hight and initial velocity </u>

$v_{oy}=96ft/s$

$y_{o}=112ft$

To find how much time does the <u>ball strike the ground</u>, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}$

Solving for t using quadratic formula

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112$

$t=-0.999s$ or $t=6.96s$

<u><em>Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s</em></u>

The volume of a gas is reduced from 4 l to 0.5 l while the temperature is held constant. How does the gas pressure change?

shusha [124]

Answer:

The pressure increases by a factor 8

Explanation:

For a gas held at constant temperature, Boyle's law can be applied. It states that the product of the gas pressure and the gas volume is constant, so we can write:

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

where

$p_1$ is the initial pressure

$p_2$ is the final pressure

$V_1$ is the initial volume

$V_2$ is the final volume

For the gas in this problem, the volume is reduced from

$V_1 = 4 L$

to

$V_2 = 0.5 L$

so we can rewrite the equation as

$\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{4 L}{0.5 L}=8$

this means that the pressure of the gas will increase by a factor 8.

Suppose you had 10 identical molecules enclosed by a box. At a given instant, one molecule has an energy of 100 Joules, and the

boyakko [2]

Answer:

A) K_average = 1/20 m v², B) low entropy , C) entropy increases.

Explanation:

A) The kinetic energy of each molecule

K = ½ m v²

The average kinetic energy is the sum of each kinetic energy among the number of them

K_average = (½ m v² + 0 + 0 +) 10

K_average = 1/20 m v²

B) Entropy is the sum of the states of each molecule, in this configuration there are only two states one with energy and the other with zero energy, so it is a system with low entropy.

S = k ln W

Where S is the entropy, k the Bolztmann constant, W the amount of state present in the system in this case is 2

C) Let's start by analyzing the entropy, as time goes by the molecule that is moving collides with the other molecules and transfers them some energy, so the other molecules move to a different state, after a little In time all the molecules will have the same energy, each one in a different state or volume, so the number of possible state increases to 10, so the entropy increases.

Now let's analyze what happens with the energy of the system, for this case we have two possibilities

- The system is isolated, therefore as it cannot exchange energy with the environment, the total energy remains constant even when the energy of each molecule can fluctuate.

- If the system is not isolated, it can exchange energy with the environment, therefore the total energy changes, depending on the difference in energy between the molecules and the environment
