A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. the clam lands on the roc

ky beach 2.10 s later. just before the clam lands, what is (a) its horizontal component of velocity, and (b) its vertical component of velocity? (c) how would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if the speed of the crow were increased? explain.

Part a)

in horizontal direction there is no gravity or no other acceleration

so in horizontal direction the speed of clam will remain same

$v_x = 2.70 m/s$

Part b)

In vertical direction we can use kinematics

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 0 + 2.1 * 9.8$

$v_f = 20.6 m/s$

part c)

if the speed of crow will be increased then the horizontal speed of the clam will also increase but there is no change in the vertical speed

Determine the average value of the translational kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at (a) 27.8°C and (b) 143°C. Wh

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) $k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}$

b) $k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}$

c) $k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol$

d) $k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol$

Explanation:

Average translation kinetic energy ( $k_{avg}$ ) is given as

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times kT$ ....................(1)

where,

k = Boltzmann's constant ; 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J/K

T = Temperature in kelvin

a) at T = 27.8° C

or

T = 27.8 + 273 = 300.8 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300.8$

$k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}J$

b) at T = 143° C

or

T = 143 + 273 = 416 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 416$

$k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}J$

c ) The translational kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is given as:

$k_{mol}=A_{v}\times k_{avg}$

here $A_{v}$ = Avagadro's number; ( 6.02×10²³ )

now at T = 27.8° C

$k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 6.22\times 10^{-21}$

$k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol$

d) now at T = 143° C

$k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 8.61\times 10^{-21}$

$k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol$

A book falls off a shelf that is 10.0 m tall. What is the velocity at which the book hits the ground?

Elena L [17]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the book is a free fall motion, so it is an uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. Therefore we can find the final velocity by using the equation:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gd$

where

u = 0 is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

d = 10.0 m is the distance covered by the book

Substituting data, we find

$v=\sqrt{0^2 + 2(9.8 m/s^2)(10.0 m)}=14 m/s$

Convert planks constant in cgs system

dezoksy [38]

in cgs system, plank's constant= h=6.626 x10⁻²⁶ erg s

Value of Plank's constant in SI system= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js

now 1 Joule= 10⁷ ergs

so h= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js (10⁷ ergs/1J)

h=6.626 x10⁻²⁷ erg s
