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.

During a compression at a constant pressure of 290 Pa, the volume of an ideal gas decreases from 0.62 m3 to 0.21 m3. The initial
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a) -41.1 Joule

b) 108.38 Kelvin

Explanation:

Pressure = P = 290 Pa

Initial volume of gas = V₁ = 0.62 m³

Final volume of gas = V₂ = 0.21 m³

Initial temperature of gas = T₁ = 320 K

Heat loss = Q = -160 J

Work done = PΔV

⇒Work done = 290×(0.21-0.62)

⇒Work done = -118.9 J

a) Change in internal energy = Heat - Work

ΔU = -160 -(-118.9)

⇒ΔU = -41.1 J

∴ Change in internal energy is -41.1 J

b) V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂

⇒T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁

⇒T₂ = 320×0.21/0.62

⇒T₂ = 108.38 K

∴ Final temperature of the gas is 108.38 Kelvin

A cannon fires a 0.2 kg shell with initial velocity vi = 9.2 m/s in the direction θ = 46 ◦ above the horizontal. The shell’s tra
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

∆h = 0.071 m

Explanation:

I rename angle (θ) = angle(α)

First we are going to write two important equations to solve this problem :

Vy(t) and y(t)

We start by decomposing the speed in the direction ''y''

sin(\alpha) = \frac{Vyi}{Vi}

Vyi = Vi.sin(\alpha ) = 9.2 \frac{m}{s} .sin(46) = 6.62 \frac{m}{s}

Vy in this problem will follow this equation =

Vy(t) = Vyi -g.t

where g is the gravity acceleration

Vy(t) = Vyi - g.t= 6.62 \frac{m}{s} - (9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }) .t

This is equation (1)

For Y(t) :

Y(t)=Yi+Vyi.t-\frac{g.t^{2} }{2}

We suppose yi = 0

Y(t) = Yi +Vyi.t-\frac{g.t^{2} }{2} = 6.62 \frac{m}{s} .t- 4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} } .t^{2}

This is equation (2)

We need the time in which Vy = 0 m/s so we use (1)

Vy (t) = 0\\0=6.62 \frac{m}{s} - 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } .t\\t= 0.675 s

So in t = 0.675 s  → Vy = 0. Now we calculate the y in which this happen using (2)

Y(0.675s) = 6.62\frac{m}{s}.(0.675s)-4.9 \frac{m}{s^{2} }  .(0.675s)^{2} \\Y(0.675s) =2.236 m

2.236 m is the maximum height from the shell (in which Vy=0 m/s)

Let's calculate now the height for t = 0.555 s

Y(0.555s)= 6.62 \frac{m}{s} .(0.555s)-4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} } .(0.555s)^{2} \\Y(0.555s) = 2.165m

The height asked is

∆h = 2.236 m - 2.165 m = 0.071 m

1. A small package is dropped from the Golden Gate Bridge. What is the velocity of the package
Sidana [21]

The velocity of the package  after it has fallen for 3.0 s is 29.4 m/s

From the question,

A small package is dropped from the Golden Gate Bridge.

This means the initial velocity of the package is 0 m/s.

We are to calculate the velocity of the package  after it has fallen for 3.0 s.

From one of the equations of kinematics for objects falling freely,

We have that,

v = u + gt

Where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

and t is time

To calculate the velocity of the package  after it has fallen for 3.0 s

That means, we will determine the value of v, at time t = 3.0 s

The parameters are

u = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

t = 3.0 s

Putting these values into the equation

v = u + gt

We get

v = 0 + (9.8×3.0)

v = 0 + 29.4

v = 29.4 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the package  after it has fallen for 3.0 s is 29.4 m/s
