Answer:
27.1 m/s
Explanation:
Given that at a race car driving event, a staff member notices that the skid marks left by the race car are 9.06 m long. The very experienced staff member knows that the deceleration of a car when skidding is -40.52 m/s2.
Using third equation of motion,
V^2 = U^2 + 2aS
Since the car is decelerating, the final velocity V = 0
Substitute all the parameter into the equation above,
0 = U^2 - 2 * 40.52 * 9.06
U^2 = 734.22
U =
U = 27.096
U = 27.1 m/s approximately
Therefore, the staff member can estimate for the original speed of the race car to be 27.1 m/s if it came to a stop during the skid
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:
With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:
(1)
(2)
Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because ,
and R is an universal constant:
, solving for
