Answer:

Van der Waal's equation

Explanation:

The Van der Waal's equation is use to calculate the properties of a gas under nonideal or real gases conditions.

$(P + \frac{an^2}{V^2})(V-nb) = nRT$ .

Here P, V ,T ,n and R have usual meaning as in the ideal gas equation

that is PV=nRT

with the difference of constant a and b. a and b are constants representing magnitude of intermolecular attraction and excluded volume respectively respectively.

The ability of solid rock to flow is called _____.

zysi [14]

The ability of solid rock to flow is called Plasticity.

Plasticity is the deformation of a solid mateial which resulted in non reversible changes of shape in response to applied force.

Another example of plasticity is when you bend metal through a forcer force to create an art or kitchen set

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2$

where $\Delta x$ is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

$\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}$

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

$k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}$

$k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}$

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2$

$E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules$

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

$\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h$

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

$\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m$

$\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules$

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

so, for the pellet will be

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

$E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k$

$0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.207519 \ Joules$

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }$

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

47. A car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. What

Otrada [13]

Answer: 114 km/h

Explanation:

The formula for determining average speed is expressed as

Average speed = total distance/total time

The car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. It means that the total distance that the car travels is

85 + 200 = 285 km

The total time spent by the car is

0.5 + 2 = 2.5 hours

Therefore,

Average speed = 285/2.5 = 114 km/h
