Answer:

A + B = C Ax = 2 Ay = 0 Bx = 0 By = 6

Ax + Bx = Cx = 2

Ay + By = Cy = 6

C = (2^2 + 6^2)^1/2 = 6.32

Tan Cy / Cx = 6 / 2 = 3

Cy at 71.6 deg

A sample of oxygen gas at 25.0Â°c has its pressure tripled while its volume is halved. What is the final temperature of the gas?

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

447 K

Explanation:

25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Assuming ideal gas, we can apply the ideal gas law

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2}{P_1}\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

Since pressure is tripled, then $P_2 / P_1 = 3$ . Volume is halved, then $V_2 / V_1 = 0.5$

$T_2 = 298*3*0.5 = 447 K$

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.5 m/s2. At the same insta

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s

a = constant acceleration of the automobile = $2.5\ m/s^2$
v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

$\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\$
