Answer:

Explanation:

Speed and velocity are not the same thing, as I'm sure you have determined while in physics. To find the average speed, we add the total distance run by Kiran and divide that total number of meters by the number of seconds it took to do this (just because I am going to state the speed and velocity in terms of m/s as opposed to m/min). To find the average velocity, we add the displacements together and divide by the total time. First the average speed:

$s=\frac{150+150}{60}=\frac{300}{60}=5\frac{m}{s}$

Velocity has direction. If Kiran runs to the end of the road (which we will call positive) and then runs back to the start (that direction will be negative), then his displacement fits into the velocity equation as

$v=\frac{150+(-150)}{60}=0$ That means, even though he ran a lot and I'm sure he was very tired, his average velocity for the trip was 0 m/s. When velocity is 0, remember that that means that the total displacement was 0.

Calculate the p.e. of a 5 kg mass when it is (i) 3 m, (ii) 6 m, above the ground. (g = 10 N/kg)

Mashcka [7]

Explanation:

P.E=MGH

(1) P.E=5×10(G)×3

= 150 kg m^/s^ ( ^ =sqaure)

(2) P.E=5×10×6

= 300 kg m^/s^

Hope it helps, just remember the formula u can solve any question regarding gravition of earth (P.E=Mgh)

Mila [183]

We’ve all noticed that science has been accelerating and a very fast rate resulting in what has been called information overload and more recently filter failure. There are now more researchers add more papers than ever which has led to the importance of bibliometric measures Bibliometric as a Field is a fairly new discipline but it has seen in impressive growth in years due to computation and data storage. Journal metrics can play an important role for editors. There are many different metrics

A gas is compressed in a cylinder from a volume of 20.0 l to 2.0 l by a constant pressure of 10.0 atm. calculate the amount of w

jok3333 [9.3K]

First, we need to convert the pressure in SI units. Keeping in mind that $1 atm = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa$ :
$p=10.0 atm =1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa$

The initial and final volume of the gas are (keeping in mind that $1.0 L = 0.001 m^3$ ):
$V_i = 20.0 L=0.020 m^3$
$V_f = 2.0 L=0.002 m^3$

So, the work done on the gas by the surrounding is
$W= -p \Delta V=-p(V_f-V_i)=-(1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa)(0.002 m^3-0.020 m^3)=18180 J$
And the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.

Which statement about van der Waals forces is true?

kobusy [5.1K]

The answer is A. When the forces are weaker, they will not be able to hold the particles of the substances together; therefore, the substance will be observed as being volatile.
