Answer:

0.28 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem:

u = 10 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=2.78 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 8 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}= 2.22 m/s is the final velocity

t = 2 s is the time

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{2.78-2.22}{2}=0.28 m/s^2

The cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected and atmospheric pressure
jok3333 [9.3K]

Less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape from the open cylinder valve.

Cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane because of higher pressures.

<h3>What are compressed gases?</h3>

Compressed gases are gases which are compressed under high pressure in gas cylinders.

Cylinder valves are used to reduce the pressure of the compressed gases and in the process, some of the gas molecules escape.

Since the cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected at atmospheric pressure, less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape.

Since, the carbon dioxide not liquefy under pressure compared to butane, the cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane.

A plane glides towards a ground-based radar dish. Radar locates the plane at a distance D = 22 km from the dish, at an angle θ =
vfiekz [6]

The correct answer is :

Unit vectors I and j along the x-axis and y-axis, respectively, define the Cartesian coordinate system. The radial unit vector r, which indicates the direction from the origin, and the unit vector t, which is orthogonal (perpendicular) to the radial direction, together create the polar coordinate system.

We can obtain the horizontal component by applying the trigonometric identity of Cos(Ф), and if we obtain the component on the x axle, such as 22000 (m)×Cos(51°) = x, we may determine that x = 13845.05 metres. We need to obtain the vector components because we already know the distance and the angle.
