l amounts of energy are added to them. Assuming no melting or vaporization occurs, which of the following can be concluded about the final temperature TA of substance A and the final temperature TB of substance B?
a) TA > TB
b) TA < TB
c) TA = TB

Answer:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

Explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

c_{pA} > c_{pB}

Where c means specific heat for the substance A and B.

We also know that the initial temperatures for both sustances are equal:

T_{iA}= T_{iB}

We assume that we don't have melting or vaporization in the 2 substances. So we just have presence of sensible heat given by this formula:

Q = m c_p \Delta T

And for this case we know that Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equal amounts of energy are added to them, so then we have this:

Q_A = Q_B

And if we replace the formula for sensible heat we got:

m_A c_{pA} \Delta T_A = m_B c_{pB} \Delta T_B

And if we replace for the change of the temperature we got:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T_{iA}) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T_{iB})

And since T_{iA}= T_{iB}= T we have this:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

Constant Acceleration Kinematics: Car A is traveling at 22.0 m/s and car B at 29.0 m/s. Car A is 300 m behind car B when the dri
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The taken is  t_A  = 19.0 \ s

Explanation:

Frm the question we are told that

  The speed of car A is  v_A  =  22 \ m/s

   The speed of car B is  v_B  = 29.0 \ m/s

     The distance of car B  from A is  d = 300 \ m

     The acceleration of car A is  a_A  = 2.40 \ m/s^2

For A to overtake B

    The distance traveled by car B  =  The distance traveled by car A - 300m

Now the this distance traveled by car B before it is overtaken by A is  

          d = v_B * t_A

Where t_B is the time taken by car B

Now this can also be represented as using equation of motion as

      d = v_A t_A  + \frac{1}{2}a_A t_A^2 - 300

Now substituting values

       d = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

Equating the both d

       v_B * t_A = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

substituting values

   29 * t_A = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

   7 t_A = \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

  7 t_A =1.2 t_A^2 - 300

   1.2 t_A^2 - 7 t_A - 300  = 0

Solving this using quadratic formula we have that

     t_A  = 19.0 \ s

Two air track carts move along an air track towards each other. Cart A has a mass of 450 g and moves toward the right with a spe
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The right answer is D) the total momentum of the system is 0.047 kg · m/s toward the right.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The total momentum of the system is given by the sum of the momentum vectors of each cart. The momentum is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum.

m = mass.

v = velocity.

Then, the momentum of the system will be the momentum of cart A plus the momentum of cart B (let´s consider the right as the positive direction):

mA · vA + mB · Vb

0.450 kg · 0.850 m/s + 0.300 kg · (- 1.12 m/s) = 0.047 kg · m/s

The right answer is D) the total momentum of the system is 0.047 kg · m/s toward the right.

Heather drops a ball weighing 0.50kg a distance of 2.0m. If the speed of the ball right after it bounces is the same speed of th
ki77a [65]
The speed of the ball just before impact was v=√(2gh) = 6.26m/s.  The acceleration is twice this over the time (twice because the second speed is the same in the other direction, meaning the total change in speed is 2V)
a = 12.52/0.10 = 125.2m/s²
The force is F=ma, so F = 0.5kg·125.2m/s² = 62.6N

masya89 [10]

Answer:

That is a very broad question. One thing that does not seem to be considered is the depletion of the ozone layer at high altitudes.

In the 1960's chlorofluorcarbons (CFC,s) became popular as refrigerants, spray can propellants, etc.  In January 1989 the Montreal Protocol was passed which has greatly reduced the use of these substances. However, it may be several decades before the ozone layer can be replaced and again absorb harmful ulraviolet rays that may be partly responsible for the increase in global warming.  

(One chlorine atom at high altitudes can be responsible for the destruction of 100,000 molecules of ozone - catalytic reaction)
