Answer:

27.39 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Deceleration (a) = –3 m/s²

Distance (s) = 125 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity (u) =?

The initial velocity (u) of the car can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2as

0² = u² + (2 × –3 × 125)

0 = u² + (– 750)

0 = u² – 750

Collect like terms

0 + 750 = u²

750 = u²

Take the square root of both side

u = √750

u = 27.39 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the car was 27.39 m/s

A real gas will behave most like an ideal gas under conditions of ________.
KengaRu [80]

Answer: high temperature and low pressure

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas equation is:  

P.V=n.R.T  

Where:  

P is the pressure of the gas  

V is the volume of the gas

n the number of moles of gas  

R=0.0821\frac{L.atm}{mol.K} is the gas constant  

T is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin

According to this law, molecules in gaseous state do not exert any force among them (attraction or repulsion) and the volume of these molecules is small, therefore negligible in comparison with the volume of the container that contains them.  

Now, real gases can behave approximately to an ideal gas, under the conditions described above and taking into account the following:  

When <u>temperature is high</u> a real gas approximates to ideal gas, because the molecules move quickly, preventing the repulsion or attraction forces to take effect.  In addition, at <u>low pressures</u>, the volume of molecules is negligible.

Suppose that you connect the terminals of two batteries of different emfs positive to positive and negative to negative (opposin
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

This question is very basic and easy. The answer to this question is:

Answer: If both batteries are connected we would get less amount of charge as compared to connected a single battery.

Reasoning:

If both batteries are connected in a manner of positive terminal to positive terminal and negative terminal to negative terminal then a capacitor is added to charge it from the batteries then, total electromotive force (emf) would decrease.

As a result, the capacitor added would get less amount of charge stored. But capacitor added will get more amount of charge stored when a single battery is connected.
