Answer:

  average speed

Explanation:

The directions were different, so the velocities could not be the same.

However, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) was 56/2 = 28 m/s for the first car, and 84/3 = 28 m/s for the second car. These<em> average speeds are the same</em>.

The stopcock connecting a 2.14 L bulb containing oxygen gas at a pressure of 8.19 atm, and a 9.84 L bulb containing krypton gas
marshall27 [118]

Answer : The final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1+P_2V_2=P_fV_f

where,

P_1 = first pressure = 8.19 atm

P_2 = second pressure = 2.65 atm

V_1 = first volume = 2.14 L

V_2 = second volume = 9.84 L

P_f = final pressure = ?

V_f = final volume = 2.14 L  + 9.84 L = 11.98 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

8.19atm\times 2.14L+2.65atm\times 9.84L=P_f\times 11.98L

P_f=3.64atm

Therefore, the final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

Why is it important to understand the concept of density ?
N76 [4]
Density applies to many if not all aspects of life.  With density you can explain why ice floats.   You can explain why oxygen is on the earth, and not floating around in space( or being replaced by another gas).  You can also explain why heat rises while cold air sinks.

Why a small car can stop easier than an 18 wheeler while traveling at 70 mph down the interstate?
almond37 [142]
Smaller cars have less momentum than bigger cars. What’s in motion stays in motion but objects with more momentum (can be from weight or from speed but in this case it’s about weight) tend to stay in motion longer.

URGENT!!! DUE AT 11:59, PLEASE DON’T POST A LINK FOR THIS ANSWER AND BE STRAIGHT FORWARD! Bronco the skydiver, whose mass is 100
kirill [66]

a = 7.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let Fnet = net force = ma

m = mass of the skydiver

a = acceleration caused by Fnet

W = weight = mg

f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance

Fnet = W - f(air)

= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)

= 780 N

Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is

a = Fnet/m

= (780 N)/(100 kg)

= 7.8 m/s^2
