Take 320 and divide by 8
320/8 = 40 mi/hr or A

It would be A, 40 miles per hour.

Block A can slide relative to block B which, in turn, can slide on a perfectly smooth horizontal plane. If the initial velocity

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

the final velocity of the two blocks is $v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}$

the distance that A slides relative to B is $S = \frac{v_o^2M}{2 \mu g (M+m)}$

Explanation:

From the diagram below;

acceleration of A relative to B is : $a = - ( \mu g + \frac{ \mu mg}{M})$

where

v = u + at

$0 = v_o + ( - \mu g - \frac{\mu m g }{M})t$

Making t the subject of the formula; we have:

$t = \frac{v_o M}{(\mu g )(M+m)}$

$v^2 = u^2 +2 as\\\\0^2 = v_o^2 - 2 (\mu g ) (\frac{M+m}{M})S\\\\$

$S = \frac{v_o^2M}{2 \mu g (M+m)}$ which implies the distance that A slides relative to B.

The final velocities of the two blocks can be determined as follows:

v = u + at

$v = v_o - \mu g \frac{v_oM}{\mu g (M+m)}\\\\v = \frac{\mu g mv_o}{m+M}\\\\$

$v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}$

Thus, the final velocity of the two blocks is $v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}$

A 6.5 l sample of nitrogen at 25◦c and 1.5 atm is allowed to expand to 13.0 l. the temperature remains constant. what is the fin

ollegr [7]

Since the temperature of the gas remains constant in the process, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas transformation at constant temperature, the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:
$pV=k$
which can also be rewritten as
$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$ (1)
where the labels 1 and 2 mark the initial and final conditions of the gas.

In our problem, $p_1 = 1.5 atm$ , $V_1 =6.5 L$ and $V_2 =13.0 L$ , so the final pressure of the gas can be found by re-arranging eq.(1):
$p_2 = p_1 \frac{V_1}{V_2}= (1.5 atm) \frac{6.5 L}{13.0 L}=0.75 atm$

Therefore the correct answer is
<span>1. 0.75 atm</span>
