What is the momentum of a ten ton truck which is sitting still?

The momentum of the truck is given by:

p = mv

p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

There isn't too much work to do here; the truck is at rest, therefore its velocity is 0. This means the product of m and v is 0, giving the momentum as 0.

What must be attached to each carburetor on a gasoline inboard engine?

alekssr [168]

To each carburetor on a gasoline inboard engine a backfire flame arrestor must be attached.This arrestor will prevent flames from the backfire causing a fire on board. Several things are important in order the backfire arrestor to function properly:
- should be clean and undamaged.
- If there is a hole in the grid, or oil or gasoline in the grid, or if it is not properly attached, the arrestor will not work correctly.
- must be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard

The potential-energy function u(x) is zero in the interval 0≤x≤l and has the constant value u0 everywhere outside this interval.

VMariaS [17]

Look first for the relation between deBroglie wavelength (λ) and kinetic energy (K):
K = ½mv²
v = √(2K/m)
λ = h/(mv)
= h/(m√(2K/m))
= h/√(2Km)

So λ is proportional to 1/√K.
in the potential well the potential energy is zero, so completely the electron's energy is in the shape of kinetic energy:
K = 6U₀

Outer the potential well the potential energy is U₀, so
K = 5U₀
(because kinetic and potential energies add up to 6U₀)

Therefore, the ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the region x>L (outside the well) to the wavelength for 0<x<L (inside the well) is:
1/√(5U₀) : 1/√(6U₀)
= √6 : √5

Alcohol of mass 33.2g and density 0.79kg/m³ or 790kg/m³ is mixed with water of 9g. What is the density of the resulting mixture?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

0.83 g/cm³

Explanation:

The volume of the alcohol is ...

(33.2 g)/(0.79 g/cm³) ≈ 42.0253 cm³

The density of water is about 1 g/cm³, so the volume of 9 g of it is ...

(9 g)/(1 g/cm³) = 9 cm³

The total volume is ...

42.0253 cm³ +9 cm³ = 51.0253 cm³

The total mass is ...

33.2 g + 9 g = 42.4 g

So, the resulting density is ...

(42.4 g)/(51.0253 cm³) ≈ 0.83 g/cm³

The resulting mixture has a density of about 0.83 g/cm³.

Additional comment

Alcohol dissolves in water, so the total volume will be slightly less than 51.0253 cm³. The attached curve shows the result of mixing ethanol and water.

The weight of a mole of ethanol is about 46 g, of water, about 18.02 g. Then the mole fraction of alcohol is ...

(33.2/46)/(33.2/46 +9/18.02) ≈ 0.59

The volume of the mix is then estimated to be (-1.05 cc/mol)(1.221 mol), or about 1.28 cm³ less than the volume indicated above. That brings the density up to about 0.85 g/cm³.

We're not completely sure of the relevance of this calculation, since many of the applicable parameters are not specified. The point is that the density of the mix will probably be slightly more than the value calculated above. YMMV
