A railroad car moving at a speed of 3.41 m/s overtakes, collides, and couples with two coupled railroad cars moving in the same

direction at 1.40 m/s. All cars have a mass of mass 1.07 x 10^5 kg. Determine the following. (a) speed of the three coupled cars after the collision (Give your answer to at least two decimal places.) (b) kinetic energy lost in the collision

Answer:

2.07 m/s

Explanation:

m = 1.07 x 10^5 kg, u1 = 3.41 m/s, u2 = 1.4 m/s

Let the speed of three coupled car after collision is v

Use conservation of momentum

m x u1 + 2 m x u2 = 3 m x v

u1 + 2 u2 = 3 v

3.41 + 2 x 1.4 = 3 v

v = 2.07 m/s

A vessel containing 200 ml hydrogen gas at pressure 500torr at temperature 10 degree C.Find its volume when pressure increased t
Margaret [11]

Answer:

When the pressure and the temperature are increased the volume is 285.7 ml.

Explanation:

We can find the new volume by using the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

Where:

P: is the pressure

V: is the volume

n: is the number of moles

R: is the gas constant

T: is the temperature  

Initially, when V₁ = 200 ml, P₁ = 500 torr and T₁ = 10 °C, we have:

nR = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}   (1)  

And finally, when P₂ = 700 torr and T₂ = 20 °C, we have:

nR = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}   (2)

By equating (1) with (2):

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}                

V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}P_{2}} = \frac{500 torr*200 ml*20 ^{\circ} C}{10 ^{\circ} C*700 torr} = 285.7 ml

Therefore, when the pressure and the temperature are increased the volume is 285.7 ml.                                                

I hope it helps you!
