(B) Increases Soold 2 m/s
(C) Decreases 3.2 m/s
(D) Decreases

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object $m=2\ kg$

Speed of object $u=5\ m/s$

Mass of object at rest $M=3\ kg$

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s$

Initial kinetic energy

$k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J$

Final kinetic energy

$k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J$

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

The volume of an ideal gas is adiabatically reduced from 151 L to 80.6 L. The initial pressure and temperature are 1.50 atm and

Zolol [24]

Answer:

gas is dioatomic

T_f = 330.0 K

$\eta = 7.07 mole$

Explanation:

Part 1

below equation is used to determine the type Gas by determining $\gamma$ value

$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{F}}\gamma=\frac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}$

where V_i and V_f is initial and final volume respectively

and P_i and P_f are initial and final pressure

$\gamma = \frac{ln(P_f/P_i)}{ln(V_i/V_f)}$

$\gamma = \frac{ln(3.61/1.50)}{ln(151/80.6}$

\gamma = 1.38

therefore gas is dioatomic

Part 2

final temperature in adiabatic process is given as

$T_f = T_i*[\frac{v_i}{V_f}](^\gamma-1)$

substituing value to get final temperature

$T_f = 260*[\frac{151}{80.6}]^ {(1.38-1)}$

T_f = 330.0 K

Part 3

determine number of moles by using following formula

$\eta =\frac{PV}{RT}$

$\eta =\frac{1.013*10^{5}*0.151}{8.314*260}$

$\eta = 7.07 mole$

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?

stepan [7]

The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>

Two identical 9.10-g metal spheres (small enough to be treated as particles) are hung from separate 300-mm strings attached to t

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

$n = 1.266\times 10^{12}$

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of sphere is 10 g

Angle between string and vertical axis is $\theta = 13 degree$

thickness of string 300 mm = 0.3 m

$sin\theta =\frac{2}{0.3 m}$

r =0.3 sin 13 = 0.067 m

$Fe = \frac{ kq_1 q-2}{d^2}$

$Fe = \frac{kq^2}{(2r)^2} = mg tan\theta$

$q^2 = mg tan\theta \frac{(2r)^2}{k}$

$= 0.0091 \times 9.8 tan13 \times \frac{(2\times 0.067)^2}{9\times 10^9}$

$q^2 = 4.10\times 10^{-14}$

$q = 2.026 \times 10^{-7} C$

q = ne

$n = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}}{2.02\times 10^{-7}}$

$n = 1.266\times 10^{12}$

What major body of water did the new states of kentucky and tennessee

chubhunter [2.5K]

The major water body given access to the new states of Kentucky and tennessee was the Mississippi river.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Mississippi river serves to be the <em>second ranked</em> longest river located in the North America. the access was given to United States by the Kentucky state and Tennessee state.

The access granted was requested in order to serve the purpose of<em> trade</em> across. The Mississippi river have been often remarked as the super highway to the sea. <em>Irrigation of crops with the transportation aid along with the food availability</em>, all calls for the grant access to the major water body.

Hi i have homework can you help me

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Explanation:

The particle will be at rest when its velocity $v(t)$ is equal to zero. Recall that the velocity is simply the derivative of the position $x(t)$ with respect to time:

$v(t) = \dfrac{dx}{dt}$

Since $x(t) = t^2 - 2t + 2$

then

$v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}(t^2 - 2t + 2) = 2t - 2 = 0$

Solving for t, we find that the particle will be at rest at

$t = 1\:\text{s}$
