driving down the highway , you find yourself behind a heavily loaded tomato truck. you follow close behind the truck keeping the

same speed. suddenly a tomato falls from the back of the struck. will the tomato hit your car or land on the road assuming you continue moving the same speed and direction.

Answer:

The tomato won't hit the car

Explanation:

According to the statement, the car moves at constant speed behind the truck fully loaded with tomatoes, and in the same direction. When a tomato falls from the top of the truck, it should not hit the car as the tomato falls due to the force of gravity, while horizontally has the same speed and in the same direction as the truck. So we assume that the tomato will fall to the road without touching the car.

Have a nice day!

Inside a vacuum tube, an electron is in the presence of a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 320 N/C. (a) What is the ma

nignag [31]

(a) The magnitude of the acceleration of the electron is 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s².

(b) The speed of the electron after the given time is 4.78 x 10⁵ m/s.

<h3>Acceleration of the electron</h3>

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as follows;

F = qE

ma = qE

a = qE/m

a = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 320)/(9.11 x 10⁻³¹)

a = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s²

<h3>Speed of the electron</h3>

v = at

v = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s² x 8.50 x 10⁻⁹ s

v = 4.78 x 10⁵ m/s

Answer:

D, the lithosphere. (CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE)

Explanation:

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15 km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental lithosphere (for example, the interior parts of North and South America).

A 23.5 g piece of aluminum metal is initially at 100.0°C. It is dropped into a coffee cup-calorimeter containing 130.0 g of wate

vivado [14]

Answer: The molar heat capacity of aluminum is $25.3J/mol^0C$

Explanation:

$heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}$

As we know that,

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of water = 130.0 g

$m_2$ = mass of aluminiunm = 23.5 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $26.0^oC=(273+26)K=299K$

$T_1$ = temperature of water = $23^oC=(273+23)K=296K$

$T_2$ = temperature of aluminium = $100^oC=273+100=373K$

$c_1$ = specific heat of water= $4.184J/g^0C$

$c_2$ = specific heat of aluminium= ?

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

$130.0\times 4.184\times (299-296)=-[23.5\times c_2\times (299-373)]$

$c_2=0.938J/g^0C$

Molar mass of Aluminium = 27 g/mol

Thus molar heat capacity = $0.938J/g^0C\times 27g/mol=25.3J/mol^0C$

A certain first-order reaction is 58% complete in 95 s. What are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this proc

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$a_o=a\times e^{-kt}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

$a_o$ = let initial amount of the reactant

a = amount left after decay process

We have :

$a_o=x$

$a=58\%\times x=0.58x$

t = 95 s

$0.58x=x\times e^{-k\times 95 s}$

$\k= 0.005734 s^{-1}$

Half life is given by for first order kinetics::

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{0.005734 s^{-1}}=120.86 s$

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..
