Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Physical equilibrium is defined as a system in which there will occur no change in the physical state of substance. For example, at zero degree celsius water is present in both liquid and solid state as follows.

      H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons H_{2}O(s)

For a system to be present in physical equilibrium is as follows.

The system must be a closed system.

It should be dynamic in nature.

There will occur no change in measurable property along with change in time.

Thus, we can conclude that ice floats in water at 0^{o}C this an example of physical equilibrium because no new substances form when the water molecules change state.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: part a: 19.62m

part b: 19.62 m/s

part a: 2.83 secs

Explanation:If the air resistance is ignored then the swimmer experience free fall under gravity hence

u=0

a=9.81 m/s2

t=2 secs

s=ut+0.5at^2

s=h

h=0*2+0.5*9.81*2^2\\h=19.62 meters

Part b

v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*2\\v=19.62m/s

Part c

now we have h=2*19.62=39.24

39.24=0+0.5*9.81*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83 secs

Un ciclista en una cuesta hacia abajo, marcha a una velocidad de 45km/h aplica los frenos y al cabo de 5s su velocidad se ha red
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Los 0.0416km

esto se debe a que transponemos la fórmula acelerada y obtenemos Distancia = velocidad × tiempo

también recuerda transponer los segundos a horas viendo que la velocidad es por hora

También tenga en cuenta que no hablo español, así que esto fue extremadamente difícil

Julie is cycling at a speed of 3.4 meters/second. If the combined mass of the bicycle and Julie is 30 kilograms, what is the kin
Anon25 [30]
Velocity=3.4m/sec
Mass=30kg
so kinetic energy=1/2mv^2
=1/2×30×3.4×3.4
=15×3.4×3.4
=15×11.56
=173.4 kg m per second square

4.2 mol of monatomic gas A interacts with 3.2 mol of monatomic gas B. Gas A initially has 9500 J of thermal energy, but in the p
Komok [63]

Answer:

14657.32 J

Explanation:

Given Parameters ;

Number of moles mono atomic gas A ,   n 1  =  4 .2 mol

Number of moles mono atomic gas B ,   n 2  =  3.2mol

Initial energy of gas A ,   K A  =  9500  J

Thermal energy given by gas A to gas B ,   Δ K  =  600 J

Gas constant   R  = 8.314  J / molK

Let  K B  be the initial energy of gas B.

Let T be the equilibrium temperature of the gas after mixing.

Then we can write the energy of gas A after mixing as

(3/2)n1RT = KA - ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 4.2 x 8.314 x T = 9500 - 600

T = (8900 x 3 )/(2x4.2x8.314) = 382.32 K

Energy of the gas B after mixing can be written as

(3/2)n2RT = KB + ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32 = KB + 600

⟹ KB = [(3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32] - 600

⟹ KB = 14657.32 J
