A rabbit is moving in the positive x-direction at 1.10 m/s when it spots a predator and accelerates to a velocity of 10.9 m/s al

ong the negative y-axis, all in 1.60 s. Determine the x-component and the y-component of the rabbit's acceleration. (Enter your answers in m/s2. Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.)

Answer:

aₓ = 0 , ay = -6.8125 m / s²

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve with kinematics equations.

Initially the rabbit moves on the x axis with a speed of 1.10 m / s and after seeing the predator acceleration on the y axis, therefore its speed on the x axis remains constant.

x axis

vₓ = v₀ₓ = 1.10 m / s

aₓ = 0

y axis

initially it has no speed, so v₀_y = 0 and when I see the predator it accelerates, until it reaches the speed of 10.6 m / s in a time of t = 1.60 s. let's calculate the acceleration

$v_{y}$ = v_{oy} -ay t

ay = (v_{oy} -v_{y}) / t

ay = (0 -10.9) / 1.6

ay = -6.8125 m / s²

the sign indicates that the acceleration goes in the negative direction of the y axis

A 23.5 g piece of aluminum metal is initially at 100.0°C. It is dropped into a coffee cup-calorimeter containing 130.0 g of wate

vivado [14]

Answer: The molar heat capacity of aluminum is $25.3J/mol^0C$

Explanation:

$heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}$

As we know that,

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of water = 130.0 g

$m_2$ = mass of aluminiunm = 23.5 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $26.0^oC=(273+26)K=299K$

$T_1$ = temperature of water = $23^oC=(273+23)K=296K$

$T_2$ = temperature of aluminium = $100^oC=273+100=373K$

$c_1$ = specific heat of water= $4.184J/g^0C$

$c_2$ = specific heat of aluminium= ?

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

$130.0\times 4.184\times (299-296)=-[23.5\times c_2\times (299-373)]$

$c_2=0.938J/g^0C$

Molar mass of Aluminium = 27 g/mol

Thus molar heat capacity = $0.938J/g^0C\times 27g/mol=25.3J/mol^0C$

The resistance of resistor is greater for:

Monica [59]

Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L = length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.

a chamber with a fixed volume of 1.0 meters cubed contains a monatomic gas at 3.00 *10^K. The chamber is heated to a temperature

igomit [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of fixed chamber $V=1 m^3$

Initial Temperature $T_1=300 K$

Final Temperature $T_2=400 K$

Heat Supplied $Q=10 J$

From First law of thermodynamics

Change in internal energy of the system is equal to heat added minus work done by the system

$\Delta U=Q-W$

as the volume is fixed therefore work

$W=\int PdV=0$

thus $\Delta U=mc_v\Delta T=Q$

$c_v$ for mono-atomic gas is $12.471 J/K-mol$

$n\times 12.471\times (400-300)=10$

$n=0.008018 mol$

and 1 mole contains $6.022\times 10^{23} molecules$

thus No of molecules $=0.008018\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$

No of molecules $=4.82\times 10^{21} molecules$
