Answer:

48.54 m

Explanation:

Mass of moving aircraft = 1000 kg

Mass of stationary aircraft = 1500 kg

Velocity of moving aircraft = 25 m/s

Velocity by which they both move together = 10 m/s

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=10+a\times 9.7\\\Rightarrow \frac{-10}{9.7}=a\\\Rightarrow a=-1.03\ m/s^2$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-10^2}{2\times -1.03}\\\Rightarrow s=48.54\ m$

Both planes skid a distance of 48.54 m

What does the potential energy diagram of a chemical reaction tell you

sattari [20]

By looking at the potential energies before and after the reaction, we can tell that the reaction is exothermic (final < initial) or endodermic (final > initial).

Also, the amount of activation energy gives an idea of the external energy required to initiate the reaction (for example, by heating the reactants).
Furthermore, by the same principle, we can also deduce the activation energy for the reverse reaction.

If a catalyst is available, the diagram will show a reduced activation energy, compared to a reaction without catalyst. However, it will also show that the catalyst does not alter the initial and final energies of the reaction.

What is the purpose of using significant figures? How does it relate to accuracy, precision, resolution, and uncertainty?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

#see solution for details

Explanation:

-Uncertainty refers to an estimate of the amount by which a result may differ from this value,

-Precision refers to how closely repeated measurements agree with each other.

-Accuracy refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.

-The number of significant figures is the number of digits believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring. Therefore, choosing the correct number of significant figures reduces the deviation from the point of accuracy/uncertainty or precision and thereby reducing margin of error in the ensuing calculations.

The intensity at distance from a spherically symmetric sound source is 100 W/m2. What is the intensity at five times this distan

ss7ja [257]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

$I = \frac{P}{A}$
