Answer:

v = 5.34[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. This theorem tells us that the sum of the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work on or performed by a body must be equal to the mechanical energy in the final state.

Mechanical energy is defined as the sum of energies, kinetic, potential, and elastic.

E₁ = mechanical energy at initial state [J]

E_{1}=E_{pot}+E_{kin}+E_{elas}\\

In the initial state, we only have kinetic energy, potential energy is not had since the reference point is taken below 1.5[m], and the reference point is taken as potential energy equal to zero.

In the final state, you have kinetic energy and potential since the car has climbed 1.5[m] of the hill. Elastic energy is not available since there are no springs.

E₂ = mechanical energy at final state [J]

E_{2}=E_{kin}+E_{pot}

Now we can use the first statement to get the first equation:

E_{1}+W_{1-2}=E_{2}

where:

W₁₋₂ = work from the state 1 to 2.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\

E_{pot}=m*g*h

where:

h = elevation = 1.5 [m]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

70 - 12 = \frac{1}{2}*2*v^{2}+2*9.81*1.5

58 = v^{2} +29.43\\v^{2} =28.57\\v=\sqrt{28.57}\\v=5.34[m/s]

If a certain mass of mercury has a volume of 0.002 m^3 at a temperature of 20°c, what will be the volume at 50°c
V125BC [204]
Change in volume = mass x coefficient of linear expansion x change in temperature
.002 x .0001802 x 30 = .000010812

initial volume + change in volume = Final volume
.002 + .000010812 = .002010812 m cubed

what is the mass of vertical column of air that exerts pressure of 1 atm over a10m by 10m square surface
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure, P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

Area of the square surface, A = 10² = 100 m²

We need to find the mass of vertical column of air. We know that, pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\m=\dfrac{PA}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{101325\times 10^2}{10}\\\\m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

So, the required mass of the vertical column of air is 1.01\times 10^6\ kg.
