It takes 15 min to drive 6.0 mi in a straight line to the local hospital. It takes 10 min to go the last 3.0 mi, 2.0 min to go t

he last mile, and only 30 s (0.50 min) to go the last 0.50 mi. What is the average speed of the trip? Take the positive xx ‑direction to be from the starting point toward the hospital.

Answer:

36.87 km/h

Explanation:

Convert all the units in SI system

1 mile = 1609.34 m

d1 = 6 mi = 9656.04 m

t1 = 15 min = 15 x 60 = 900 s

d2 = 3 mi = 4828.02 m

t2 = 10 min = 10 x 60 = 600 s

d3 = 1 mi = 1609.34 m

t3 = 2 min = 2 x 60 = 120 s

d4 = 0.5 mi = 804.67 m

t4 = 0.5 min = 0.5 x 60 = 30 s

Total distance, d = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4

d = 9656.04 + 4828.02 +  1609.34 + 804.67 = 16898.07 m = 16.898 km

total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

t = 900 + 600 + 120 + 30 = 1650 s = 0.4583 h

The ratio of the total distance covered to the total time taken is called average speed.

Average speed = 16.898 / 0.4583 = 36.87 km/h

At 4.00 l, an expandable vessel contains 0.864 mol of oxygen gas. how many liters of oxygen gas must be added at constant temper
svet-max [94.6K]

Givens
=====
V = 4.00 L
T = 273oK We're assuming the temperature does not change, just the pressure.
n = 0.864 moles
R = 8.314 joules / mole  * oK
P = ?????

Formula
======
PV = n*R*T
P = n*R*T/V
P = 0.864 * 8.314 * 273 / 4
P = 490 kpa


You have to add 1.6 – 0.864 = 0.736 moles of gas.


We have to assume that the temperature and pressure remain the same when we add the 0.736 moles of gas. We are now looking for the volume.


PV = n*R*T

<span> V = 0.736 * 8.314 * 273 / 490</span>

V = 3.41 L Remember this is at about 4 atmospheres so we have to convert to Standard Pressure.

Total Volume = 3.41 + 4.00 = 4.41


V1 * P1 = V2 * P2

P1 = 490 kPa

P2 = 101 kPa

V1 = 7.41 L

V2 = ????


<span> <span> 7.41* 490 = V2 * 101 V2 = 7.41 * 490 / 101 V2 = 35.94 L </span> </span>


<span>You had 4 L now you need 31.94 more.</span>

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result
Virty [35]

Hello!

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result? A) law of differential mass B) law of conservation of momentum C) law of unequal forces D) law of accelerated collision

We have the following data¹:

ΔP (momentum before impact) = ?  

mA (mass) = 10 kg

vA (velocity) = 5 m/s

mB (mass) = 5 kg

vB (velocity) = 0 m/s

Solving:

ΔP = mA*vA + mB*vB

ΔP = 10 kg*5 m/s + 5 kg*0 m/s

ΔP = 50 kg*m/s + 0 kg*m/s

Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum before impact)

We have the following data²:

ΔP (momentum after impact) = ?  

mA (mass) = 10 kg

vA (velocity) = 0 m/s

mB (mass) = 5 kg

vB (velocity) = 10 m/s

Solving:

Δp = mA*vA + mB*vB

Δp = 10 kg*0 m/s + 5 kg*10 m/s

Δp = 0 kg*m/s + 50 kg*m/s

Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum after impact)

*** Then, which principle explains the result ?

Law of conservation of momentum, <u>since the total momentum of body A and B before impact is equal to the total momentum of body A and B after impact.</u>

Note:  Bodies of different masses and velocities may have the same kinetic energy, if proportionality between the units is maintained it can occur that they have the same kinetic energy.

Answer:

B) law of conservation of momentum
