in 2.20 h. (a) What is his total displacement? km
(b) What is his average velocity? km/h

Answer:

a) $d=187.6km$

b) $v=61.5km/h$

Explanation:

First we convert our minutes to hours so we work always in the same units.

$36min=36min(\frac{1h}{60min})=0.6h$

$15min=15min(\frac{1h}{60min})=0.25h$

Where we used the fact that 1 hour are 60 min, thus the multiplying factor is equal to 1 (not altering the time, just changing the units).

a) On the first part the motorist travels a distance $d_1=v_1t_1=(96km/h)(0.6h)=57.6km$ , and on the second part he travels $d_2=130km$ .

The total displacement is $d=d_1+d_2=57.6km+130km=187.6km$

b) The average velocity is the relation between the total displacement and the time taken to cover it. Our total time is t=0.6h+0.25h+2.2h=3.05h, thus we have:

$v=\frac{187.6km}{3.05h}=61.5km/h$

What energy change is associated with the reaction to obtain one mole of H2 from one mole of water vapor? The balanced equation

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

ΔH = 249 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

2H₂O(g) → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) (1)

To calculate the energy change to obtain one mole of H₂(g) from one mole of H₂O(g), the coefficients of the reaction (1) must be halved:

H₂O(g) → H₂(g) + 1/2O₂(g) (2)

The enthalpy of the reaction (2) is given by:

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{r} - \Delta H_{p}$

<em>Where $\Delta H_{r}$ : is the bond enthalpy of reactants and $\Delta H_{p}$ : is the bond enthalpy of products.</em>

<u>For the reactants we have the next bond energies:</u>

2 x (H-O) = 2 x (467)

<u>And the bond energies for the products are:</u>

H-H + (1/2) (O=O) = 436 + (1/2)(498)

So, the enthalpy of the reaction (2) is:

$\Delta H = 2 \cdot 467 kJ/mol - 436 kJ/mol - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 498 kJ/mol = 249 kJ/mol$

A 0.250 kgkg toy is undergoing SHM on the end of a horizontal spring with force constant 300 N/mN/m. When the toy is 0.0120 mm f

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(a) The total energy of the object at any point in its motion is 0.0416 J

(b) The amplitude of the motion is 0.0167 m

(c) The maximum speed attained by the object during its motion is 0.577 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the toy, m = 0.25 kg

force constant of the spring, k = 300 N/m

displacement of the toy, x = 0.012 m

speed of the toy, v = 0.4 m/s

(a) The total energy of the object at any point in its motion

E = ¹/₂mv² + ¹/₂kx²

E = ¹/₂ (0.25)(0.4)² + ¹/₂ (300)(0.012)²

E = 0.0416 J

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂KA²

$A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{K} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2*0.0416}{300} } \\\\A = 0.0167 \ m$

(c) the maximum speed attained by the object during its motion

$E = \frac{1}{2} mv_{max}^2\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} } \\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{2*0.0416}{0.25} } \\\\v_{max} = 0.577 \ m/s$

6. A garden hose attached to a nozzle is used to fill a 15-gal bucket. The inner diameter of the hose is 1.5 cm, and it reduces

Vesna [10]

Answer: 1.135 L/s; 1.35 kg/s, 22.57 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Volume of bucket $V=15\ gal\approx 56.78\ L$

time to fill it $t=50\ s$

Volume flow rate

$\dot{V}=\dfrac{56.78}{50}=1.135\ L/s\approx 1.135\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$

The inner diameter of the hose $D=1.5\ cm$

diameter of the nozzle exit $d=0.8\ cm$

we can volume flow rate as

$\Rightarrow \dot{V}=Av\quad \quad \text{v=average velocity through nozzle exit}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.135\times 10^{-3}=\frac{\pi }{4}d^2\times v\\\\\Rightarrow 1.135\times 10^{-3}=\frac{\pi }{4}(0.8\times 10^{-2})^2\times v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{4\times 1.135\times 10^{-3}}{\pi \times 64\times 10^{-6}}=22.57\ m/s$

Mass flow rate

$\Rightarrow \dot{m}=\rho \times \dot{V}\\\Rightarrow \dot{m}=1\ kg/L\times 1.135\ L/s=1.35\ kg/s$

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Since the wire is not splitting at any point in the circuit,

the resistors are in series

Hence, Equivalent resistance = 10 + 20 + 30

Equivalent Resistance = 60 Ω
