Answer:

(a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.

(b). The time is 94 min.

(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.

(d). Speed is scalar quantity.

Velocity is vector quantity.

Explanation:

Given that,

Top speed = 415 km/h

1 miles = 1609 m

(a). We need to calculate the speed in m/s

Using conversion of km/h to m/s

$v=415\ km/h$

$v=415\times\dfrac{5}{18}$

$v=115.28\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the distance from London to Edinburgh in km

Using conversion for distance

$d=403\ miles$

Distance in meter,

$d=403\times1609$

$d=648427\ m$

$d=648.427\ km$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{648.427}{415}$

$t=1.56\ h$

$t=1\ hours 34\ min$

$t= 94\ min$

(c). Speed v' =7.66 km/s

v'=7660 m/s

In the time it takes the car to travel from London to Edinburgh,

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

$d'=v'\times t$

Put the value into the formula

$d'=7660\times94\times60$

$d'=43202400\ m$

$d'=43202.400\ km$

(d). Speed :

Speed is equal to the distance divided by time.

It is scalar quantity.

Velocity :

Velocity is equal to the displacement divided by time.

It is vector quantity.

Hence, (a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.

(b). The time is 94 min.

(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.

(d). Speed is scalar quantity.

Velocity is vector quantity.

Gases tend to deviate from the ideal gas law at

IgorLugansk [536]

<h2>Answer: high pressures</h2>

The Ideal Gas equation is:

$P.V=n.R.T$

Where:

$P$ is the pressure 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.

However, when <u>temperature is low</u> these gases deviate from the ideal gas behavior, because the molecules move slowly, allowing the repulsion or attraction forces to take effect.

The same happens at <u>high pressures</u>, because the volume of molecules is no longer negligible.

Pages 64 to 65 of your reading material trace an extended problem that involes lifting a bag of sugar up to a shelf at first it

nadezda [96]

Answer:

d) the amount of work is the same whether the bag is moved all at once or in two stages, provided the total height lifted is the same in either case.

Explanation:

While moving the bag to the shelf in one shot we can say that the total work done is given as

$W = mg(2H)$

here we know that

2H = total height raised by the bag

now when we raise the bag to first shelf and then move it to next shelf

then we will have

$W = W_1 + W_2[tex][tex]W = mgH + mgH$

$W = 2mgH$

so the correct answer will be

d) the amount of work is the same whether the bag is moved all at once or in two stages, provided the total height lifted is the same in either case.

Will pushing on a car always change the car's mechanical energy?

tamaranim1 [39]

I assume you mean that the car's motor is not running ... the car is just
sitting there.

If that's so, then the car's mechanical energy is just like the mechanical
energy of any other object. It has potential energy if it's in a high place
from which it can roll or fall, and it has kinetic energy if it's moving.

-- If you make the car move by pushing it, then you gave it kinetic energy
that it didn't have while it was just sitting there.

-- If it's already moving slowly, and you're able to make it move faster by
pushing, then you increased its kinetic energy.

-- If you're able to push it up a hill, no matter how small the hill is but just
to any higher place, then you gave it more gravitational potential energy
than it had before you came along.

In all of these cases, if you exert a force and keep exerting it through some
distance while the car moves, then you have done "work", which is just
another name for mechanical energy, and your work adds to the mechanical
energy of the car.

But if you didn't move the car, then no matter how hard you pushed, no work
was done, and the car's mechanical energy didn't change.
