How do I know what kinematic equations to use when solving a question?

Explanation:

There are 5 kinematic equations, and 5 variables.

Each question will give you 3 variables and ask you to solve for a fourth.

To determine which equation to use, look at which variable is <em>not</em> included in the problem.

For example, if the question does not include time, then you need to use a kinematic equation that does not have t in it. That would be:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Or, if the question does not include the final velocity, then you need a kinematic equation that does not have v in it. That would be:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

30) A force produces power P by doing work W in a time T. What power will be produced by a force that does six times as much wor

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

A) 12P

Explanation:

The power produced by a force is given by the equation

$P=\frac{W}{T}$

where

W is the work done by the force

T is the time in which the work is done

At the beginning in this problem, we have:

W = work done by the force

T = time taken

So the power produced is

$P=\frac{W}{T}$

Later, the force does six times more work, so the work done now is

$W'=6W$

And this work is done in half the time, so the new time is

$T'=\frac{T}{2}$

Substituting into the equation of the power, we find the new power produced:

$P'=\frac{W'}{T'}=\frac{6W}{T/2}=12\frac{W}{T}=12P$

So, 12 times more power.

What would the final volume of 40 L of gas at 80 pascals be if the pressure increases to 130 pascals?

melomori [17]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 L

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 40 L

Initial pressure = 80 Pa

Final pressure = 130 Pa

To find the final volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$80 * 40 = 130V_{2}$

$3200 = 130V_{2}$

$V_{2} = \frac {3200}{130}$

$V_{2} = 24.62$

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 Liters

What is the formula for conservation of momentum

olga55 [171]

Answer:

The general equation for conservation of momentum during a collision between n number of objects is given as: [m i ×v i a ] = [m i ×v i b ] Where m i is the mass of object i , v i a is the velocity of object i before the collision, and v i b is the velocity of object i after the collision.
