1)

The acceleration of the car is the rate of change of velocity of the car; it can be calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity of the car to change from u to v

In this problem, for this car we have:

u = 37.1 m/s

v = 29.8 m/s

t = 3 s

So, the acceleration is:

a=\frac{29.8-37.1}{3}=-2.43 m/s^2

2)

The work done in lifting the box is equal to the potential energy transferred to the box during the process; it is given by:

W=Fd

where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement of the box

Here we have:

F = 87.3 N is the force applied

d = 2.04 m is the displacement of the box

So, the work done to lift the box is:

W=(87.3)(2.04)=178.1 J

3)

The power is the rate of work done per unit time. It is calculated as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time taken to do the work

For the child in this problem, we have:

W = 1250 J is the work done by the child running up the stairs

P = 267 W is the power used

Therefore, re-arranging the equation, we find the time taken:

t=\frac{W}{P}=\frac{1250}{267}=4.68 s

4)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

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

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the rabbit in this problem, we have:

m = 8.642 kg is the mass of the rabbit

KE = 125.6 is its kinetic energy

Solving the formula for v, we find the speed of the rabbit:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(125.6)}{8.642}}=5.4 m/s

5)

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio between the energy produced in output by the machine and the work done in input. Mathematically, it is given by

\eta = \frac{E_{out}}{W_{in}}\cdot 100

where

E_{out} is the energy in output

W_{in} is the work in input

For the machine in this problem,

W_{in}=120 J is the work in input

E_{out}=93 J is the energy in output

Therefore, the efficiency of this machine is:

\eta=\frac{93}{120}\cdot 100=77.5\%

6)

During a collision, the total momentum of the system is always conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 =(m_1+m_2)v

where

m_1=212 kg is the mass of the first car

u_1=8.00 m/s is the initial velocity of the first car

m_2=196 kg is the mass of the 2nd car

u_2=6.75 m/s is the initial velocity of the 2nd car

v is the final velocity of the two cars stuck together (after the collision, they move together)

Solving the equation for v, we find:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 +m_2 u_2}{m_1 +m_2}=\frac{(212)(8.00)+(196)(6.75)}{212+196}=7.40 m/s

7)

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

v=f\lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

For the wave in the string in this problem we have:

\lambda=0.23 m (wavelength)

f = 12 Hz (frequency)

So, the speed of the wave is:

v=(12)(0.23)=2.76 m/s

8)

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is given by

c=f\lambda

where:

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

For the blue light in this problem, we have

f=6.2\cdot 10^{14}Hz (frequency)

while the speed of light is

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

So, the wavelength of blue light is:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{6.2\cdot 10^{14}}=4.8\cdot 10^{-7} m

9)

The sound wave in this problem travels with uniform motion (=constant velocity), therefore we can use the following equation:

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered by the wave

v is the speed of the wave

t is the time elapsed

In this problem:

v = 343 m/s is the speed of the sound wave

t = 0.287 s is the time elapsed

So, the distance covered by the wave is

d=(343)(0.287)=98.4 m

13. How many electrons are transferred in the following reaction? (The reaction is unbalanced.) Fe(s) + I'(aq) 12(s) + Fe3+(aq)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 6

Explanation :

Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is a reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

Fe(s)+I^-(aq)\rightarrow I_2(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq)

Half reactions of oxidation and reduction are :

Oxidation : Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 2I^-(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow I_2         .......(2)

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, we get:

Oxidation : 2Fe(s)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}+6e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 6I^-(aq)+6e^-\rightarrow 3I_2         .......(2)

The overall balanced chemical reaction will be:

2Fe(s)+6I^-(aq)\rightarrow 3I_2(s)+2Fe^{3+}(aq)

From this reaction we conclude that the electrons are getting transferred from iron to iodine and the number of electrons transferred are 6 electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) 6

Which statement about Fe is supported by the modern atomic theory but not John Dalton’s theory?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

One of the claims of John Dalton's atomic theory is that atom is the smallest unit of matter (which suggests that there are no particles smaller than an atom in any matter). This claim has been disproved by the modern atomic theory which established that there are particles smaller than atom (called subatomic particles). These particles are electrons, protons and neutrons.

One of the modern atomic theory was by Neils Bohr, who proposed that <u>electrons move in circular orbits around the central nucleus</u>. Thus, the electrons of iron can also be said to be present in a region of space (circular path) around the nucleus. This proves that option B is the correct option as John Dalton's theory did not even recognize the electron(s) nor the nucleus.

Explanation:

  • The viscosity of bitumen is about 100 times greater than the viscosity of water - False

Reason - The viscosity of bitumen is about not 100 times greater than the viscosity of water, it is actually 100, 000 times greater.

  • Oil from oil sand deposits is only obtained by first heating the sands at high temperatures is False.
