<u>Answer</u>

3.7 Km south


<u>Explanation</u>

The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.

Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).

Now lets add the two values.

(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4

                    = - 3.7 Km      But negative was towards south.

∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.

A driver drives for 30.0 minutes at 80.0 km/h, then 45.0 minutes at 100 km/h. She then stops 30 minutes for lunch. She then trav

Answer:

b) 68,9 km/h a) picture

Explanation:

In this problem, since velocity is expressed in km/h and time in minutes, we have to convert either time to hours or velocity to km/min. It is easier to use hours.

Using this formula we pass time to hours:

t_{hours}=t_{min}*\frac{1 h}{60 min}\\30min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0,5h\\45min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0,75h

Now we can plot speed vs time (image 1). The problem says that the driver uses constant speed, so all lines have to be horizontal.

Using the values of the speed we calculate the distance in each interval

d=v*t\\80km/h*0.5h=40km\\100km/h*0.75h=75km

Using these values and the fact that she was having lunch in the third one (therefore stayed in the same position), we plot position vs time, using initial position zero (image 2, distance is in km, not meters).

Finally, we compute the average speed with the distance over time:

v_{average}=\frac{155km}{2.25h}=68.9km/h

for an ideal monoatomic gas, the internal energy U os due to the kinetic energy and U=3/2RT per mole.show that cv=3/2R per mole
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

i. Cv =3R/2

ii. Cp = 5R/2

Explanation:

i. Cv = Molar heat capacity at constant volume

Since the internal energy of the ideal monoatomic gas is U = 3/2RT and Cv = dU/dT

Differentiating U with respect to T, we have

= d(3/2RT)/dT

= 3R/2

ii. Cp - Molar heat capacity at constant pressure

Cp = Cv + R

substituting Cv into the equation, we have

Cp = 3R/2 + R

taking L.C.M

Cp = (3R + 2R)/2

Cp = 5R/2
