A ferry boat is 2.0 m wide and 4.0 m long. When a truck pulls onto it, the boat sinks 2.00 cm in the water. What is the weight o

Answer:

156,800 N

Explanation:

Given: Width = 2.0 m Length = 4.0 m Depth = 2.00 cm. Density of water = 1000 Kg/m³

To find: What is the weight of the truck?

Formula: $F = m$ × $9.8 m/s^2$

Solution: Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object. It depends on the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s² on Earth. F is the object's weight in Newtons (N) and m is the object's mass in kilograms.

Firstly, multiply the length, width, and depth.

$2.0$ × $4.0$ × $2.00$ $= 16$

Next, the weight of the truck is found by multiplying the density of water, the result found by multiplying the length, width, and depth, and the formula;

$1000 kg/m^3$ × $16$ × $9.8m/s^2$ $= 156,800$

Therefore, the weight of the truck is 156,800 N

A gas mixture contains 320mg methane, 175 mg argon, 225 mg nitrogen (N2). The partial pressure of argon at 300K is 12.52 kPa. Wh

svet-max [94.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume and total pressure of the mixture is 0.876 L and 89.36 kPa respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For methane:</u>

Given mass of methane = 320 mg = 0.3 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of methane = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of methane}=\frac{0.3g}{16g/mol}=0.019mol$

<u>For argon:</u>

Given mass of argon = 175 mg = 0.175 g

Molar mass of argon = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of argon}=\frac{0.175g}{40g/mol}=0.0044mol$

<u>For nitrogen:</u>

Given mass of nitrogen = 225 mg = 0.225 g

Molar mass of nitrogen = 28 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitrogen}=\frac{0.225g}{28g/mol}=0.0080mol$

To calculate the volume of the mixture, we use the equation:

PV = nRT ......(2)

We are given:

Partial pressure of argon = 12.52 kPa

Temperature = 300 K

R = Gas constant = $8.31\text{L kPa }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of argon = 0.0044 moles

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$12.52kPa\times V=0.0044mol\times 8.31\text{L kPa }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 300K\\\\V=\frac{0.0044\times 8.31\times 300}{12.52}=0.876L$

Now, calculating the total pressure of the mixture by using equation 2:

Total number of moles = [0.019 + 0.0044 + 0.0080] mol = 0.0314 mol

V= volume of the mixture = 0.876 L

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$P\times 0.876L=0.0314mol\times 8.31\text{L kPa }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 300K\\\\P=\frac{0.0341\times 8.31\times 300}{0.876}=89.36kPa$

Hence, the volume and total pressure of the mixture is 0.876 L and 89.36 kPa respectively.

If Rebecca is traveling at 7 m/s east for 1 hour how much is Rebecca displaced

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

25.2 km east

Explanation:

The relationship between velocity and displacement is given by:

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

where

v is the velocity

d is the displacement

t is the time

In this problem, we have:

$v=7 m/s$ east is Rebecca's velocity

$t=1 h=60 min=3600 s$ is the time taken

Re-arranging the equation, we can find Rebecca's displacement:

$d=vt=(7 m/s)(3600 s)=25,200 m=25.2 km$

and the direction is same as velocity (east)

The electric flux through a square-shaped area of side 5 cm near a very large, thin, uniformly-charged sheet is found to be 3\ti

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

side of square shape $a=5\ cm$

Electric flux $\phi =3\times 10^{-5}\ N.m^2/C$

Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12} \frac{C^2}{N.m^2}$

Flux is given by

$\phi =EA\cos \theta$

where E=electric field strength

A=area

$\theta$ =Angle between Electric field and area vector

$E=\frac{\phi }{A\cos (0)}$

$E=\frac{3\times 10^{-5}}{25\times 10^{-4}\times \cos(0)}$

$E=0.012\ N/C$

and Electric field by a uniformly charged sheet is given by

$E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon_0}$

where $\sigma$ =charge density

$=\frac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma =0.012\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$\sigma =2.12\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^2$
