This is a concept of momentum. In equation, momentum is the product of force and distance. When a ball is thrown, its force is constant all throughout unless disturbed by an external force. Therefore, force is the constant of proportionality that relates momentum with distance. When you block a ball from a given distance, you would feel the great force on your hand. In order to reduce the force, you have to follow the direction of the force in order to minimize the impact. By doing this, you gradually decrease the momentum of the ball.

A car is moving with an initial relocity of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

The acceleration of the car, a = 10 m/s²

The time period of travel, t = 5 s

Using the I equations of motion

                     v = u + at

                        = 20 + 10(5)

                        = 20 + 50

                        = 70 m/s

Hence, the final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

When a fixed amount of ideal gas goes through an isobaric expansion A) its internal (thermal) energy does not change.B) the gas
Bingel [31]
<h2>Answer: its temperature must increase.</h2>

Explanation:

In an isobaric process the pressure remains constant, which means the initial pressure and the final pressure will be the same.

In addition, during this thermodynamic process, the volume of the ideal gas expands or contracts in such a way that the variation of pressure \Delta P is neutralized.

Now, according to the First law of Thermodynamics that establishes the conservation of energy:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W   (1)

Where:

\Delta U is the internal energy

\Delta Q is the heat transferred

\Delta W is the work

Now, for an isobaric process:

\Delta W=P\Delta V    (2)

Where:

P is the pressure (<u>always positive</u>)

\Delta V is the volume variation of the gas

<u />

<u>Here we have two possible results:</u>

-If the gas expands (positive \Delta V), the work is positive.

-If the gas compresses (negative \Delta V), the work is negative.

In this case we are talking about the first result (work is positive).

Then, according to the above, equation (1) can be written as follows:

\Delta U=\Delta Q - P\Delta V   (3)

Clearing \Delta Q:

\Delta Q=\Delta U+P \Delta V    (4)

Then, for an ideal gas in an isobaric process, part of the heat (Q) added to the system will be used to do work (positive in this case) and the other part <u>will increase the internal energy</u>, hence <u>the temperature will increase as well.</u>
