Answer:

Option B

0.3 m/s2 South

Explanation:

Acceleration, $a=\frac {v-u}{t}$ where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, t is the time taken

Substituting 14.1 m/s for v, 17.7 m/s for u and 12 s for t then

$a=\frac {14.1 m/s- 17.7 m/s}{12}=-0.3 m/s^{2}$

Since this is negative acceleration, it's direction is opposite hence 0.3 m/s2 South

An ideal monatomic gas initially has a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 5.79 atm. It is to expand from volume 420 cm3 to v

maxonik [38]

Answer:

a) The final pressure is 1.68 atm.

b) The work done by the gas is 305.3 J.

Explanation:

a) The final pressure of an isothermal expansion is given by:

$T = \frac{PV}{nR}$

$T_{i} = T_{f}$

$\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{nR} = \frac{P_{f}V_{f}}{nR}$

Where:

$P_{i}$ : is the initial pressure = 5.79 atm

$P_{f}$ : is the final pressure =?

$V_{i}$ : is the initial volume = 420 cm³

$V_{f}$ : is the final volume = 1450 cm³

n: is the number of moles of the gas

R: is the gas constant

$P_{f} = \frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{V_{f}} = \frac{5.79 atm*420 cm^{3}}{1450 cm^{3}} = 1.68 atm$

Hence, the final pressure is 1.68 atm.

b) The work done by the isothermal expansion is:

$W = P_{i}V_{i}ln(\frac{V_{f}}{V_{i}}) = 5.79 atm*\frac{101325 Pa}{1 atm}*420 cm^{3}*\frac{1 m^{3}}{(100 cm)^{3}}ln(\frac{1450 cm^{3}}{420 cm^{3}}) = 305.3 J$

Therefore, the work done by the gas is 305.3 J.

I hope it helps you!

A total charge of 4.70 is distributed on two metal spheres. When the spheres are 10 cm apart, they each feel a repulsive force o

Anna35 [415]

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ be the charges such that

$q_1+q_2=4.7$

and Force between charge particles is given by

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}$

$q_1\cdot q_2=0.522$

put the value of $q_1$

$q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522$

$q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0$

$q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}$

$q_2=0.114 C$

thus $q_1=4.586 C$

A sheet of metal is 2mm wide 10cm tall and 15cm long. it was 4g. what is the density? <br>

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Ro = 133 [kg/m³]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must apply the definition of density, which is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.

$Ro = m/V$

where:

m = mass [kg]

V = volume [m³]

We will convert the units of length to meters and the mass to kilograms.

L = 15 [cm] = 0.15 [m]

t = 2 [mm] = 0.002 [m]

w = 10 [cm] = 0.1 [m]

Now we can find the volume.

$V = 0.15*0.002*0.1\\V = 0.00003 [m^{3} ]$

And the mass m = 4 [gramm] = 0.004 [kg]

$Ro = 0.004/0.00003\\Ro = 133 [kg/m^{3}]$
