Answer:

the two vehicles will be moving at a speed of 6.16  m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of completely inelastic collision, therefore, the conservation of momentum can be written as:

m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f

which given the information provided results into:

m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f\\(1250)\,(0)+(3550)\,(8.33)=(1250+3550)\,v_f\\29571.5=4800\,v_f\\v_f=6.16\,\,m/s

Two moles of helium are initially at a temperature of 21.0 ∘Cand occupy a volume of 3.30×10−2 m3 . The helium first expands at c
Anettt [7]

Answer:

(B) The total internal energy of the helium is 4888.6 Joules

(C) The total work done by the helium is 2959.25 Joules

(D) The final volume of the helium is 0.066 cubic meter

Explanation:

(B) ∆U = P(V2 - V1)

From ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

T1 = 21°C = 294K, V1 = 0.033m^3, n = 2moles, V2 = 2× 0.033=0.066m^3

P = nRT ÷ V = (2×8.314×294) ÷ 0.033 = 148140.4 Pascal

∆U = 148140.4(0.066 - 0.033) = 4888.6 Joules

(C) P2 = P1(V1÷V2)^1.4 =148140.4(0.033÷0.066)^1.4= 148140.4×0.379=56134.7 Pascal

Assuming a closed system

(C) Wc = (P1V1 - P2V2) ÷ 0.4 = (148140.4×0.033 - 56134.7×0.066) ÷ 0.4 = (4888.6 - 3704.9) ÷ 0.4 = 1183.7 ÷ 0.4 = 2959.25 Joules

(C) Final volume = 2×initial volume = 2×0.033= 0.066 cubic meter

Based on discoveries to date, which of the following conclusions is justified?a) Most stars have one or more terrestrial planets
KIM [24]

Based on discoveries to date, the conclusion as “Planetary systems are common and planets similar in size to Earth are also common” is justified.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Some studies show that on average, each star has at least single planet. This means that most stars, such as the Solar System, possess planets (otherwise exoplanets). It is known that small planets (more or less Earthly or slightly larger) are more common than giant planets. The mediocrity principles state that planet like Earth should be universal in the universe, while the rare earth hypothesis says they are extremely rare.

Size is often considered an important factor, because planets the size of the Earth are probably more terrestrial and can hold the earth's atmosphere. The planetary system is a series of gravitational celestial objects orbiting a star or galaxy. Generally, planetary systems describe systems with one or more planets, although such systems may also consist of bodies such as dwarf planets, asteroids and the like.

A bullet of 5 gm is fired from a pistol of 1.5 kg. If the recoil velocity of pistol is 1.5 m/s,
Andreyy89

Answer:

-450 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

p₀ = p

0 = (1.5 kg) (1.5 m/s) + (0.005 kg) v

v = -450 m/s

Two identical freight cars roll without friction (one at 1 m/s, the other at 2 m/s) toward each other on a level track. They col
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

They collide, couple together, and roll away in the direction that <u>the 2m/s car was rolling in.</u>

Explanation:

We should start off with stating that the conservation of momentum is used here.

Momentum = mass * speed

Since, mass of both freight cars is the same, the speed determines which has more momentum.

Thus, the momentum of the 2 m/s freight car is twice that of the 1 m/s freight car.

The final speed is calculated as below:

mass * (velocity of first freight car) + mass * (velocity of second freight car) = (mass of both freight cars) * final velocity

(m * V1) + (m * V2) = (2m * V)

Let's substitute the velocities 1m/s for the first car, and - 2m/s for the second. (since the second is opposite in direction)

We get:

m*1 + m*(-2) = 2m*V

solving this we get:

V = - 0.5 m/s

Thus we can see that both cars will roll away in the direction that the 2 m/s car was going in. (because of the negative sign in the answer)
