Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?

1 answer:

4 0

Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.

A train starts at rest in a station and accelerates at a constant 0.987 m/s2 for 182 seconds. Then the train decelerates at a co

algol [13]

Answer:

$\displaystyle X_T=66.6\ km$

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

$\displaystyle V_f=V_o+a\ t$

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .

The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of $0.987 m/s^2$ for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of $-0.321 m/s^2$ until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.

The equation for the distance is

$\displaystyle X=V_o\ t+\frac{a\ t^2}{2}$

Our data is

$\displaystyle V_o=0,a=0.987m/s^2,\ t=182\ sec$

Let's compute the first distance X1

$\displaystyle X_1=0+\frac{0.987\times 182^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle X_1=16,346.7\ m$

Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time

$\displaystyle V_{f1}=0+0.987\times 182$

$\displaystyle V_{f1}=179.6\ m/s$

That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0

$\displaystyle V_o=179.6,a=-0.321\ m/s^2\ ,V_f=0$

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}=\frac{0-179.6}{-0.321}$

$\displaystyle t=559.5\ sec$

Computing the second distance

$\displaystyle X_2=179.6\times559.5\ \frac{-0.321\times 559.5^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle X_2=50,243.2\ m$

The total distance is

$\displaystyle X_t=x_1+x_2=16,346.7+50,243.2$

$\displaystyle X_t=66,589.9\ m$

$\displaystyle \boxed{X_T=66.6\ km}$

What mass of NH3 can be made from 35.0 grams of N2

Allushta [10]

42.5g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of N₂= 35g

Unknown:

Mass of NH₃ = ?

Solution:

Equation of the reaction:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

To solve this problem, we work from the known species to the unknown. The known here is the reacting mass of the N₂. From this we can find the number of moles of the N₂.

Number of moles of N₂ = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of N₂ = 28g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{35}{28}$ = 1.25moles

From the equation of the reaction:

1 mole of N₂ produced 2 moles of NH₃

1.25 moles of N₂ will produce 2 x 1.25 = 2.5moles of NH₃

Mass of NH₃ = Number of moles of NH₃ x molar mass of NH₃

= 2.5 x (14 + 3)

= 42.5g
