A 1250-kg compact car is moving with velocity v1 =36.2i^+12.7j^m/s. It skids on a frictionless icy patch and collides with a 448

-kg hay wagon moving with velocity v2=13.8i^+10.2j^m/s.
If the two stay together, what is their velocity?

Momentum is conserved, so the sum of the separate momenta of the car and wagon is equal to the momentum of the combined system:

(1250 kg) ((36.2 <em>i</em> + 12.7 <em>j </em>) m/s) + (448 kg) ((13.8 <em>i</em> + 10.2 <em>j</em> ) m/s) = ((1250 + 448) kg) <em>v</em>

where <em>v</em> is the velocity of the system. Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = ((1250 kg) ((36.2 <em>i</em> + 12.7 <em>j </em>) m/s) + (448 kg) ((13.8 <em>i</em> + 10.2 <em>j</em> ) m/s)) / (1698 kg)

<em>v</em> ≈ (30.3 <em>i</em> + 12.0 <em>j</em> ) m/s

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J
