Two clouds collide and form another, more massive cloud. One cloud is stationary, while the other is traveling at 1 m/s. After t

he collision, the new, combined cloud travels with a velocity of 0.25 m/s. What is the ratio of the masses of the two original clouds

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of u_2=1\ m/s

combined velocity of the two is v=0.25\ m/s

Suppose the masses of the clouds be m_1,m_2

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3

The term "ideal gas" refers to a gas for which certain assumptions have been made. Which of the following is not such an assumpt
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

(A) Consists of a small number of tiny particles that are far apart- relative in their size.

Explanation:

An <em>ideal gas</em> is defined as a simplification of a real gas, with punctual particles, in which all collisions are elastic, with random displacements and with no attractive force between them.

The assumption of the particles being punctual make clear that they do not have size at all. So if they were far apart-relative in their size, they can not collide each other, that is why assumption (B) can not be possible (<u><em>for that particular case</em></u>).

It is clear that (A) is not an assumption for an ideal gas, because do not fit in any of its properties.

Elastic collision: It is a case in which the energy is conserved (Kinetic Energy).

Kinetic Energy: It is the energy that will have an object as a consequence of its movement.

a child's toy consists of a piece of plastic attached to a spring. the spring is compressed against the floor a distance of 2.0
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1.7N

Explanation:

Force = kx

Where x = spring compression and

K = spring constant

K =85N/m

x = 2.0cm / 100

= 0.02m

Force = 85 x 0.02

= 1.7N
