Car drag racing takes place over a distance of a 1 4 mile (402 m) from a standing start. If a car (mass 1500 kg) would be propel

led forward with a pulling force equal to that of gravity, what would be the change in kinetic energy and the terminal speed of the car (in mph) at the end of the race be?

Answer:

The change in kinetic energy is 5,909,400J and the terminal speed of the car is 160,800mph

Explanation:

Change in kinetic energy = mg(h2 - h1)

Mass (m) = 1500kg, g = 9.8m/s^2, final distance (h2) = 402m, initial distance (h1) = 0m

Change in kinetic energy = 1500×9.8×(402 - 0) = 1500×9.8×402 = 5,909,400J

From equations of motion

h = ut + 1/2gt^2 [u is initial speed and is equal to zero because the car drag racing began from a standing start (rest)]

h = 1/2gt^2

402 = 1/2 × 9.8t^2

402 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 402/4.9 = 82.04

t = √82.04 = 9.06s × 1h/3600s = 0.0025h

Terminal speed = distance/time = 402m/0.0025h = 160,800mph

In a physics lab, you measure the vibrational-rotational spectrum of hcl. the estimated separation between absorption peaks is:_
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The appropriate value in blank given is Δf = 5.5 x 10^{11} Hertz.

We have vibrational - rotational spectrum Hydrochloric Acid.

We have to investigate the estimated separation between absorption peaks and fill the blank.

<h3>What is vibrational - rotational spectrum ?</h3>

Rotational–vibrational spectroscopy is a branch of molecular spectroscopy. It deals with the infrared and Raman spectra of molecules in the gaseous phase.

According to the question -

The estimated separation between absorption peaks in the vibrational-rotational spectrum of HCl is denoted by Δf and is equal to -

Δf = 5.5 x 10^{11} Hertz

Hence, the appropriate value in blank given is Δf = 5.5 x 10^{11} Hertz.

Calculate the change in length of a Pyrex glass dish (Coefficient of linear expansion for Pyrex is 3 x 10^-6 /C) that is 0.3 met
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.000225 m

Explanation:

Coefficient of linear expansion = \alpha_L=3\times 10^{-6} /C

Length = 0.3 meters

ΔT = Change in temperature = 250 °C

Linear expansion

\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha_L\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\alpha_L\Delta T\times L\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=3\times 10^{-6}\times 0.3\times 250=0.000225\ m

Change in length of the Pyrex glass dish is 0.000225 m.

In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation
Yakvenalex [24]
<span>In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation if the independent variable changes because of changes made to the dependent variable. Causation works on cause and effect, so the changed independent variable is the cause and the changed dependent variable is the effect. In an experiment the independent variable is changed to determine the dependent variables value, so the two are directly related.</span>
