After robbing a bank, a criminal tries to escape from the police by driving at a constant speed of 55 m/s (about 125 mph). A pol

ice officer, initially at rest, starts chasing the criminal when he drives by, accelerating at a constant rate of 6.1m/s2. How long will it take the officer to catch the criminal?

Answer:

18.03 s

Explanation:

We have two different types of motions, the criminal moves with uniform motion while the police do it with uniformly accelerated motion. Therefore we will use the equations of these cases. We know that by the time the police reach the criminal they will have traveled the same distance.

x=vt\\x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{a}{2}t^2

The distance between the police and the criminal when the first one starts the persecution is 0, its initial speed is also zero. So:

x=(55m/s)t\\x=\frac{6.1m/s^2}{2}t^2=(3.05m/s^2)t^2

Equalizing these two equations and solving for t:

(55m/s)t=(3.05m/s^2)t^2\\(3.05m/s^2)t^2-(55m/s)t=0\\t((3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s)=0\\t=0 \\(3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s=0\\t=\frac{55m/s}{3.05m/s^2}=18.03 s

Suppose you are asked to find the amount of time t, in seconds, it takes for the turntable to reach its final rotational speed.
Annette [7]

Answer:

option (D)

Explanation:

Here initial rotation speed is given, final rotation speed is given and asking for time.

If we use

A) θ=θ0+ω0t+(1/2)αt2

For this equation, we don't have any information about the value of angular displacement and angular acceleration, so it is not useful.

B) ω=ω0+αt

For this equation, we don't have any information about angular acceleration, so it is not useful.

C) ω2=ω02+2α(θ−θ0)

In this equation, time is not included, so it is not useful.

D) So, more information is needed.

Thus, option (D) is true.

What is the final concentration of DD at equilibrium if the initial concentrations are [A][A]A_i = 1.00 MM and [B][B]B_i = 2.00
pentagon [3]

Answer:

A) Concentration of A left at equilibrium of we started the reaction with [A] = 2.00 M and [B] = 2.00 M is 0.55 M.

B) Final concentration of D at equilibrium if the initial concentrations are [A] = 1.00 M and [B] = 2.00 M is 0.90 M.

[D] = 0.90 M

Explanation:

With the first assumption that the volume of reacting mixture doesn't change throughout the reaction.

This allows us to use concentration in mol/L interchangeably with number of moles in stoichiometric calculations.

- The first attached image contains the correct question.

- The solution to part A is presented in the second attached image.

- The solution to part B is presented in the third attached image.

At 900.0 K, the equilibrium constant (Kp) for the following reaction is 0.345. 2SO2(g)+O2(g)→2SO3(g) At equilibrium, the partial
elena55 [62]

Answer : The partial pressure of SO_3 is, 67.009 atm

Solution :  Given,

Partial pressure of SO_2 at equilibrium = 30.6 atm

Partial pressure of O_2 at equilibrium = 13.9 atm

Equilibrium constant = K_p=0.345

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)

The expression of K_p will be,

K_p=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(p_{SO_2})^2\times (p_{O_2})}

Now put all the values of partial pressure, we get

0.345=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(30.6)^2\times (13.9)}

p_{SO_3}=67.009atm

Therefore, the partial pressure of SO_3 is, 67.009 atm
