Answer:

12.25 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 1500 Kg

Radius (r) = 75 m

Centripetal acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

Centripetal acceleration (a) is related to the velocity (v) and radius (r) according to the following formula:

a = v²/r

Thus, we can obtained the velocity of the car by using the above formula as illustrated below:

Radius (r) = 75 m

Centripetal acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

a = v²/r

2 = v²/75

Cross multiply

v² = 2 × 75

v² = 150

Take the square root of both side.

v = √150

v = 12.25 m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 12.25 m/s.

Two cylinders each contain 0.30 mol of a diatomic gas at 320 K and a pressure of 3.0 atm. Cylinder A expands isothermally and cy

Svetllana [295]

Answer :

(a). The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder A is 320 K.

(b). The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder B is 233.7 K.

(c). The final volume of the gas in the cylinder A is $7.86\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

(d). The final volume of the gas in the cylinder B is $5.7\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

Explanation :

Given that,

Number of mole n = 0.30 mol

Initial temperature = 320 K

Pressure = 3.0 atm

Final pressure = 1.0 atm

We need to calculate the initial volume

Using formula of ideal gas

$P_{1}V_{1}=nRT$

$V_{1}=\dfrac{nRT}{P_{1}}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{1}=\dfrac{0.30\times8.314\times320}{3.039\times10^{5}}$

$V_{1}=2.62\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

(a). We need to calculate the final temperature of the gas in the cylinder A

Using formula of ideal gas

In isothermally, the temperature is not change.

So, the final temperature of the gas in the cylinder A is 320 K.

(b). We need to calculate the final temperature of the gas in the cylinder B

Using formula of ideal gas

$T_{2}=T_{1}\times(\dfrac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})^{\frac{1}{\gamma}-1}$

Put the value into the formula

$T_{2}=320\times(\dfrac{3}{1})^{\frac{1}{1.4}-1}$

$T_{2}=233.7\ K$

(c). We need to calculate the final volume of the gas in the cylinder A

Using formula of volume of the gas

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$

$V_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{2}=\dfrac{3\times2.62\times10^{-3}}{1}$

$V_{2}=0.00786\ m^3$

$V_{2}=7.86\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

(d). We need to calculate the final volume of the gas in the cylinder B

Using formula of volume of the gas

$V_{2}=V_{1}(\dfrac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})^{\frac{1}{\gamma}}$

$V_{2}=2.62\times10^{-3}\times(\dfrac{3}{1})^{\frac{1}{1.4}}$

$V_{2}=0.0057\ m^3$

$V_{2}=5.7\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

Hence, (a). The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder A is 320 K.

(b). The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder B is 233.7 K.

(c). The final volume of the gas in the cylinder A is $7.86\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

(d). The final volume of the gas in the cylinder B is $5.7\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

a projectile is shot horizontally from the edge of a cliff, 230m above the ground. the projectile lands 300m from base of the cl

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical height of cliff = 230 m

Distance = 300 m

Suppose, determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground.

We need to calculate the time

Using second equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where, s = vertical height of cliff

u = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

$230=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2$

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{230\times2}{9.8}}$

$t=6.85 sec$

Hence, The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.
