Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple Law of Momentum Conservation problem of the inelastic type. The equation for this is

[m_1v_1+m_2v_2]_b=[(m_1+m_2)v]_a  Filling in:

[1200(4.5)+2100(0)]=[(1200+2100)v] which simplifies to

5400 + 0 = 3300v

so v = 1.6 m/s to the east, choice B

Suppose that the average speed (vrms) of carbon dioxide molecules (molar mass 44.0 g/mol) in a flame is found to be 2.67 105 m/s
34kurt

Answer:

T = 1.26 \times 10^8 K

Explanation:

As we know that rms speed of ideal gas is given by the formula

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

here we know that

v_{rms} = 2.67 \times 10^5 m/s

molecular mass of gas is given as

M = 44 g/mol = 0.044 kg/mol

now from above formula we have

2.67\times 10^5 = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.31)T}{0.044}}

now we have

T = 1.26 \times 10^8 K

When finding net force, why must you know the directions of the forces acting on an object?
Mariulka [41]
<h3>One reason we should know what the directions of the forces acting on an object is so we can know if we have to add or subtract. same = add together, opposite = subtract from each other. Also if we don't pay attention to the direction the Net force will be wont be accurate. There will be factors that will upset the calculation.So we must know the direction of the two forces because we have to know if we are adding or subtracting and if the answer is accurate. </h3>

Answer:

The offspring is homozygous for eye color.

Explanation:

Brown eyes is the shared allele of both parents (meaning homozygous) and an allele for hair type was not inherited from only one parents but from both however will recieve the dominant trait. (This is my best guess; I haven't studied this in awhile though)

A car moving in a straight line starts at X=0 at t=0. It passesthe point x=25.0 m with a speed of 11.0 m/s at t=3.0 s. It passes
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

Where;

v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.

And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.

Given;

t1 = 3.0s

t2 = 20.0s

v1 = 11 m/s

v2 = 45 m/s

x1 = 25 m

x2 = 385 m

Substituting the values;

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

v = (385-25)/(20-3)

v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

a = (45-11)/(20-3)

a = 2 m/s^2

What speed would a fly with a mass of 0.72 g need in order to have the same kinetic energy as a 1250 kg automobile traveling at
Elena L [17]
Kinetic of automobile

Mass m = 1,250 Kg;         V = 11 m/s

Formula: K.E = 1/2 mV²

               K.E = 1/2(1,250 Kg)(11 m/s)²

               K.E = 75,625 J

Speed required for insect to have the same kinetic energy as automobile

Mass of insect = 0.72 g convert to Kg   m = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴ Kg

K.E = 1/2 mV²  Derive V =?

 V = 2 K.E/m

 V = √2(75,625 J)/7.2 x 10⁻4 Kg

 V = √2.1 x 10⁸ m²/s²

 V = 14,491.34 m/s  (velocity of insect)
