Yes, eg., when 2 bodies move in opposite directions

, the relative velocity of each is greater than the individual velocity of either

An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.00×10^{-7} N/m^2 at 20ºC . How many atoms are there in a cubic cen

marta [7]

Answer:

$24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

Explanation:

P = Pressure = $1\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

V = Volume = 1 cm³

n = Amount of substance

N = Number of atoms

$N_A$ = Avogadro's constant = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ /mol$

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/k mol

T = Temperature = 273.15+20 = 293.15 K

From the ideal gas law

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{N}{N_A}$

$\frac{N}{N_A}=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=N_A\times \frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1\times 10^{-7}\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{8.314\times 293.15}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow N=24708184.32141\ atoms=24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

The number of atoms is $24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

Definition of termperature in thermodynamics

antoniya [11.8K]

"Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, which is related to how hot or cold that substance is. Historically, two equivalent concepts of temperature have developed, the thermodynamic description and a microscopic explanation based on statistical physics"

As part of an interview for a summer job with the Coast Guard, you are asked to help determine the search area for two sunken sh

Answer:

The resultant velocity is $v_t=10 knots$

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of momentum

$M_L *v_L + M_f * V_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t$

Where $M_L$ is the mass of the Luxury Liner = 40,000 ton

$v_L$ is the velocity of Luxury Liner = 20 knots due west

$M_f$ mass of freighter = 60,000

$v_f$ is the velocity of freighter = 10 knots due north

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the west direction

$v_f = 0 \ knots$

So the equation would be

$M_L *v_L = (M_L + M_f) v_t$

Substituting values

$40000*20 = (40000+ 60000)v_t_w$

Where $v_t_w$ the final velocity due west

Making $v_t_w$ the subject

$v_t_w = \frac{40,000* 20}{(40000 + 60000)}$

$= 8 \ knots$

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the north direction

$v_L = 0 \ knots$

So the equation would be

$M_f *v_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t_n$

Where $v_t_n$ the final velocity due north

Making $v_t_n$ the subject

$v_t_n = \frac{60,000* 10}{(40000 + 60000)}$

$= 6 \ knots$

The resultant velocity is

$v_t = \sqrt{v_t_w^2 + v_t_n^2}$

$= \sqrt{8^2 +6^2}$

$v_t=10 knots$
