Answer:

Their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the blue car, m₁ = 2 kg

initial velocity of the blue car, u₁ = 6 m/s

mass of the red car, m₂ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the red car, u₂ = 2 m/s

let the blue car moving to the right be in positive direction

also, let the red car moving to the left be in negative direction

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁ - m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is their velocity after the collision

(2 x 6) - (3 x 2) = v(2 + 3)

12 - 6 = 5v

6 = 5v

v = 6/5

v = 1.2 m/s, to the right

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

The vapor pressure of ethanol at 293 K is 5.95 kPa and at 336.5 K it is 53.3 kPa. Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of etha
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

H=41.3kJmol^{-1}

Explanation:

The equation relating the the enthalphy, pressure and temperature is expressed as

ln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} )=\frac{H}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}} ) \\

Where P is the pressure, H is the enthalphy, and T is the temperature.

since the given values are

T_{1}=293k, \\T_{2}=336.5k\\P_{1}=5.95kPA\\p_{2}=53.3kPA\\and R=8.314J.K^{-1}mol_{-1}

if we insert values, we arrive at

ln(\frac{53.3}{5.95} )=\frac{H}{8.314}(\frac{1}{293}-\frac{1}{336.5} )\\2.19=\frac{H}{8.314}(0.00044)\\H=(2.19*8.314)/0.00044\\H=41,268.8Jmol^{-1}\\H=41.3kJmol^{-1}

Newton's second law of motion can also be described as...
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer


B. F=ma



Explanation

The Newton's laws of motion tries to explain the how bodies behave and the energy changes when theys are in motion. For the 3 of them to hold, the bodies must be moving in a straight line and with constant velocity.

The second one states that, "the change of momentum of a moving body is directly proportional to the force producing it and it takes place to the direction of force."

From the choices given, the appropriate answer is B. F=ma

Iodine molecules separates into atoms after absorbing light of 450 nm. If one
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:E = hc/? = 4.41 x 10-19 J

Energy absorbed by each atom :

E (atom) = 2.205 x 10-19 J

Now Bond Energy of each molecule (B) = 3.98 x J

So, for each atom 1.99 x 10-19 J

So now

KE of each atom = E(atom) - B (atom)

= 2.15 x 10-19 J

A block of mass m is pushed up against a spring, compressing it a distance x, and the block is then released. The spring project
Gwar [14]

Answer:

x' = 10 x

Explanation:

By energy conservation we know that spring energy is converted into kinetic energy of the block

so we will have

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we will have

v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}(x)

now we will have same thing for another mass 4m which moves out with speed 5v

so we have

5v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{4m}}(x')

now from above two equations we have

\frac{5v}{v} = \frac{x'}{2x}

so we have

x' = 10 x
