A constant 10.0-N horizontal force is applied to a 20.0-kg cart at rest on a level floor. If friction is negligible, what is the

speed of the cart when it has been pushed 8.0 m? Assume cart starts from rest.

Answer:

2.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the cart (m) = 20.0 kg

Initial velocity of the cart (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = ? m/s

Displacement of the cart (S) = 8.0 m

Horizontal force acting on the cart (F) = 10.0 N

Surface is frictionless. So, only horizontal force is the force acting on the cart.

Now, as per work-energy theorem, the work done by the net force acting on a body is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the body.

Here, the work done by the horizontal force is given as:

W_{net}=FS=(10\ N)(8.0\ m)=80\ Nm

The change in kinetic energy is given as:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}(20.0\ kg)(v^2-0)\\\\\Delta K=10v^2

Now, from work-energy theorem:

\Delta K=W_{net}\\\\10v^2=80\\\\v^2=\frac{80}{10}\\\\v=\sqrt{8}=2.83\ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the cart when it has been pushed 8.0 m is 2.83 m/s.

As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution ________ and the vapor pressure of
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution <u><em>decrease </em></u>and the vapor pressure of the solution <em><u>decrease </u></em>.

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point :

\Delta T_f=K_f\times m

where,

\Delta T_f =depression in freezing point =  

K_f = freezing point constant  

m = molality  ( moles per kg of solvent) of the solution

As we can see that from the formula that higher the molality of the solution is directly proportionate to the depression in freezing point which means that:

  1. If molality of the solution in high the depression in freezing point of the solution will be more.
  2. If molality of the solution in low the depression in freezing point of teh solution will be lower .

Relative lowering in vapor pressure of the solution is given by :

\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\chi_{solute}

p_o = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

p_s  = Vapor pressure of solution

\chi_{solute} = Mole fraction of solute

p_s\propto \frac{1}{\chi_{solute}}

Vapor pressure of the solution is inversely proportional to the mole fraction of solute.

  1. Higher the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and decrease in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
  2. lower the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and increase in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.

How much time does it take a person to walk 12km north at the velocity at a velocity of 6.5 km/hrs?
alukav5142 [94]

"6.5 km/hr" is not a velocity.  It's just a speed, so
we don't know what direction he's walking.

If he happens to be walking north, then it takes him

               (12 km) / (6.5 km/hr)  =  1.846... hours  (rounded) .

If he's walking in any other direction, it takes him longer than that.

If the angle between north and the direction he's walking is
90 degrees or more, then he can never cover any northward
distance, no matter how long he walks.
