Answer:

Explanation:

n = m(g +a)

n= normal force (N)

m=mass (kg)

g=acceleration of gravity

a= acceleration of elevator

rearrange:

a= n/m - g

a= (810 N/73 kg) - 9.8 m/s ^2

a= 1.3 m/s ^2 up

and the acceleration is upwards bc her weight is less than the scale reading

If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the 1200.-kg pick-up truck behind him continues tr

Alborosie

Answer: 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above, we have the following data;

M1 = 800kg

M2 = 1200kg

V1 = 13m/s

V2 = 25m/s

U (common velocity) =?

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U

(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U

10400 + 30000 = 2000u

40400 = 2000u

U = 40400 / 2000

U = 20.2 m/s

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years

An ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally from 2.00 l at 5.00 atm in two steps:

Burka [1]

Heat added to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work done on the gas = W = -743 Joules

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Ideal Gas Law that needs to be recalled is:

$\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }$

<em>P = Pressure (Pa)</em>

<em>V = Volume (m³)</em>

<em>n = number of moles (moles)</em>

<em>R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)</em>

<em>T = Absolute Temperature (K)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

<u>Unknown:</u>

Work done on the gas = W = ?

Heat added to the gas = Q = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally:</em>

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

$5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2$

$V_2 = 10 \div 3$

$V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

$W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)$

$W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)$

$W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Using the same method as above:</em>

$P_2V_2 = P_3V_3$

$3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3$

$V_3 = 10 \div 2$

$V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

$W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)$

$W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})$

$W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Finally we could calculate the total work done and heat added as follows:</em>

$W = W_A + W_B$

$W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}$

$\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$

$\Delta U = Q + W$

$0 = Q + (-743)$

$\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$
