Answer:

15km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Average speed = 60km/hr

Time taken = 15min

Unknown:

Distance = ?

Solution:

The distance traveled can de derived using the expression below;

Distance = Average speed x time taken

Now let us convert the time to hr;

60min = 1hr

15min = $\frac{15}{60}$ = 0.25hr

Distance = 60km/hr x 0.25hr = 15km

Answer:

$T_{2}=278.80 K$

Explanation:

Let's use the equation that relate the temperatures and volumes of an adiabatic process in a ideal gas.

$(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$ .

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation to the initial and the final state:

$\frac{p_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Let's recall that the term nR is a constant. That is why we can match these equations.

We can find a relation between the volumes of the initial and the final state.

$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}}$

Combining this equation with the first equation we have:

$(\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$(\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}^{\gamma}}{T_{1}^{\gamma}}$

Now, we just need to solve this equation for T₂.

$T_{1}\cdot (\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}} = T_{2}$

Let's assume the initial temperature and pressure as 25 °C = 298 K and 1 atm = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa, in a normal conditions.

Here,

$p_{2}=8.00\cdot 10^{4} Pa \\p_{1}=1.01\cdot 10^{5} Pa\\ T_{1}=298 K\\ \gamma=1.40$

Finally, T2 will be:

$T_{2}=278.80 K$

An output is a Push or pull _________________________ on the object

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The input force that you use on an inclined plane is the force with which you push or pull an object. The output force is the force that you would need to lift the object without the inclined plane. This force is equal to the weight of the object.

At the outer edge of a rotating space habitat, 130 m from the center, the rotational acceleration is g. What is the rotational a

enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

R1 = 130 m

R2 = 65 m

w^2R = g

Assume, g = 9.81 m/s^2

w^2 = 9.81/130

w = 0.275 rad/s

At R2 = 65 m

g = w^2R

= (0.275^2) × 65

= 4.905 m/s^2

In conclusion,

g × R = k

g1/R1 = g2/R2

g2 = (g1 × 65)/130

= g1 ×1/2

= g1/2

A block sliding across a level surface has a mass of 2.5 kg and a mechanical energy of 20 joules. What is its velocity?

tia_tia [17]

Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s$

Have a nice day!

Jake is in chemistry class. He makes a list of the chemicals his instructor described and the properties of each.

koban [17]

Silver: bonds with other atoms because of the weak forces of the valence electrons
FALSE - The strong forces of the valence electrons is actually the reason why silver bonds with other atoms.

Water: bonds allow for liquid state at room temperature and prevent conduction
FALSE - Water is a good conductor.

Carbon: bonds with other atoms through strong shared electrical bonds
TRUE - Carbon shares covalent bonds with other atoms.

Niobium: bonds allow for a strong conductivity found in stainless steel
FALSE - Iron and Carbon make up steel.
