Answer:

A) 450 m

B) 27 m/s

C) 81 m, 243 m

D) Gazelle

Explanation:

A)

Since, the Cheetah is running at constant speed. Therefore, we use the equation:

s₁ = v₁t

where,

s₁ = distance covered by Cheetah = ?

v₁ = speed of Cheetah = 30 m/s

t = time taken = 15 s

Therefore,

s₁ = (30 m/s)(15 s)

<u>s₁ = 450 m</u>

<u></u>

B)

For final speed of Gazelle at the end of 6 s acceleration time we use 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

where,

Vf = Final Speed of Gazelle at the end of 6 s = ?

Vi = Initial Speed of Gazelle = 0 m/s (Since, Gazelle is initially at rest)

t = time taken = 6 s

a = acceleration = 4.5 m/s²

Therefore,

Vf = (0 m/s) + (4.5 m/s²)(6 s)

<u>Vf = 27 m/s</u>

C)

For the distance covered by Gazelle at the end of 6 s acceleration time we use 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = Vi t + (0.5)at²

where,

Vi = Initial Speed of Gazelle = 0 m/s (Since, Gazelle is initially at rest)

t = time taken = 6 s

a = acceleration = 4.5 m/s²

Therefore,

s₂ = (0 m/s)(6 s) + (0.5)(4.5 m/s²)(6 s)²

<u>s₂ = 81 m</u>

<u></u>

Now, for the distance covered during the last 9 s at constant velocity Vf, we use equation:

s₃ = Vf t

where,

s₃ = distance covered by Gazelle in last 9 s = ?

t = time = 9 s

Therefore:

s₃ = (27 m/s)(9 s)

<u>s₃ = 243 m</u>

D)

We know that, at the end of 15 seconds:

Distance covered by Cheetah = s₁ = 450 m

Distance Covered by Gazelle = s₂ + s₃ = 81 m + 243 m = 324 m

If we take the initial position of Cheetah as origin. Then the positions of both Gazelle and Cheetah with respect to origin will be:

Position of Cheetah = 450 m ahead of origin

Position of Gazelle = 324 m + 160 m = 484 m (Since, Gazelle was initially 160 m ahead of Cheetah)

<u>Hence, it is clear that Gazelle is ahead at the end of 15 s.</u>

How are magnetic poles and electrical charges similar? A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract

melomori [17]

Answer:

A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract each other.

Explanation:

As we know by the property of electric charge that similar charges repel each other and opposite charges attracts each other

So here we have similar situation in magnets also

Two similar poles or like poles of magnet i.e. North - North poles or South - South poles always repel each other

And also we can see that opposite poles of magnet each other i.e. North pole and south pole always attract each other.

SO here correct answer is

A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract each other.

If you want to double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its momentum?A) 16B) 2^(1/2)

worty [1.4K]

Answer: $\sqrt{2}$

The linear momentum $p$ is given by the following equation:

$p=m.v$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass and $v$ the velocity.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy $K$ is given by:

$K=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}$ (2)

Which is the same as:

$K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^{2}$

Now, if we double the kinetic energy, equation (2) changes to:

$2K=2\frac{p^{2}}{2m}$

$2K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}$ (3)

So, if we want to obtain the kinetic energy as shown in (3), the only option that works is increasing momentum by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$ or $2^{1/2}$ :

Applying this in (2):

$K=\frac{(\sqrt{2}p)^{2}}{2m}$

$K=\frac{(2p)^{2}}{2m}$

$K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}$ >>>As we can see, this equation is the same as equation (3)

Therefore, the correct answer is B

H2O consists of polar molecules. CO2 consists of nonpolar molecules. How do chemists explain this difference?

Vadim26 [7]

C. Oxygen has a different attraction for electrons in H2O than in CO2

the covalent bond between Hydrogen-Oxygen and Carbon-Oxygen is different because the difference of electronegativity (the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself) between Hydrogen and Oxygen is a lot higher than the difference of electronegativity between Carbon and Oxygen. This difference in electronegativity results in separation of partial electric charge creating polar bonds and giving the molecule a polarity.
