Answer:

The momentum before collision and momentum after collision is equal in a frame of reference moving at 10.0 m/s in the direction of the moving car.

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of moving car = 1990 kg

$u_1$ = Velocity of moving car in stationary frame = 20 m/s

$m_2$ = Mass of stationary car = 1540 kg

$u_2$ = Velocity of stationary car in stationary frame = 0 m/s

v = Combined velocity in stationary frame

Momentum conservation for stationary frame

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{1990\times 20+0}{1990+1540}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3980}{353}\ \text{m/s}$

In frame moving at 10 m/s the velocities change in the following ways

$u_1=20-10\\\Rightarrow u_1=10\ \text{m/s}$

$u_2=0-10\\\Rightarrow u_1=-10\ \text{m/s}$

$v=\dfrac{3980}{353}-10\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{450}{353}\ \text{m/s}$

Momentum before collision

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=1990\times 10+1540\times -10\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=4500\ \text{kg m/s}$

Momentum after collision

$(m_1+m_2)v=(1990+1540)\times \dfrac{450}{353}\\\Rightarrow (m_1+m_2)v=4500\ \text{kg m/s}$

The momentum before collision and momentum after collision is equal. So, the momentum is conserved in a reference frame moving at 10.0 m/s in the direction of the moving car.

Maya made this picture to represent a chemical reaction:

Natalka [10]

The statement that best explains the type of chemical reaction represented by Maya's picture is that it is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because two reactants form two products. That is option B.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction is the combination of two elements to yield a new product through the formation of bonds.

A chemical reaction is said to be a synthesis reaction when when two different atoms or molecules interact to form a different molecule or compound.

A chemical reaction is said to be a decomposition reaction when one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Therefore, from the picture, the chemical reaction is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because two reactants form two products.

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and $\theta$ is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

$y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where $y=vertical\ distance$

$a=acceleration$

$t=time$

$v=initial\ velocity$

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

$y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y=v\sin \theta -0.5g$

In absence of gravity

$y_2=v\sin \theta \times t$

$y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1$

$\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m$

onsider 1000 mL of a 1.00 × 10-4 M solution of a certain acid HA that has a Ka value equal to 1.00 × 10-4. Water was added or re

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The volume of the final solution, V = 0.0305L

Explanation:

Number of moles = Concentration * volume

Concentration of HA = 1.00 * 10⁻⁴M

Volume of HA = 1000mL = 1 L

Number of moles of HA = 1.00 * 10⁻⁴ * 1

Number of moles of HA = 1.00 * 10⁻⁴ mols

Equation of reaction:

HA → H⁺ + A⁻

If 1 mol of HA produces 1 mol of H⁺ and A⁻, 1.00 * 10⁻⁴ mol of HA will produce 1.00 * 10⁻⁴ mol of H⁺ and A⁻.

Since only 16% dissociation occurs = 0.16

Number of moles of H⁺ produced = 0.16 * 1.00 * 10⁻⁴

Number of moles of H⁺ produced = 1.6 * 10⁻⁵mols

Number of moles of A⁻ produced = 0.16 * 1.00 * 10⁻⁴

Number of moles of A⁻ produced = 1.6 * 10⁻⁵mols

Since 16% of HA dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻, 84% of HA is left

Number of mols of HA left = 0.84 * 1.00 * 10⁻⁴

Number of mols of HA left = 8.4 * 10⁻⁵mols

Concentration = num of moles/volume

Let the volume of the final solution be V

Conc of HA = 8.4 * 10⁻⁵/V

Conc of H⁺ = 1.6 * 10⁻⁵/V

Conc of A⁻ = 1.6 * 10⁻⁵/V

To calculate the dissociation constant

$k_{a} = [H^{+} ][A^{-} ]/[HA]$

$k_{a}= [1.6 * 10^{-5} /V][1.6 * 10^{-5} /V]/[8.4 * 10^{-5} /V]\\k_{a}= 3.05 * 10^{-6} /V\\k_{a} = 1.00 * 10^{-4}\\ 1.00 * 10^{-4} = 3.05 * 10^{-6} /V\\V= 3.05 * 10^{-6}/ 1.00 * 10^{-4}\\V=3.05 * 10^{-2}\\V=0.0305 L$

If gas costs $3.65 per gallon at a local service station, how many cubic feet of gas can a customer buy with $40 ?

svet-max [94.6K]

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

For consistency you must convert gallons to cubic foot. The conversions are:

7.481 gal = 1 ft3

Then, $3.65 per gallon becomes $27.3 per ft3. If you buy $40 worth of gas, you get $40/$27.3 = 1.46 ft3 of gas.

If you can travel for 4 miles per ft3, then with the amount of gas you have, you can travel up to 5.85 miles.

(4 miles/ft3)*(1.46 ft3) = 5.85 miles
