Answer:

Assumption: the acceleration of this vehicle is constant until it comes to a stop.

Acceleration: (-2)\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}.

The acceleration of this vehicle is negative because the velocity of this vehicle is decreasing over time.

Explanation:

  • Let u denote the initial velocity of this vehicle. u = 10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.
  • Let v denote the final velocity of this vehicle. v = 0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1} as the vehicle has come to a stop.
  • Let x denote the displacement of this vehicle. x = 25\; \rm m.
  • Let a denote the acceleration of this vehicle. The value of a\! needs to be found.

Assume that the acceleration of this vehicle, a, is constant. The SUVAT equations would apply.

The time t required for braking is neither given nor required. Hence, make use of the SUVAT equation v^{2} - u^{2} = 2\, a\, x to relate u, v, a, and x\!.

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for a, the acceleration of this vehicle:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\, x} \\ &= \frac{(0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} - (10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1})^{2}}{2\times (25\; \rm m)} \\ &= \frac{0^{2} - 10^{2}}{2 \times 25}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \\ &= -2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

  • When the rate of change of a value is greater than 0, that value would become larger over time.
  • When the rate of change of a value is equal to 0, that value would be constant.
  • When the rate of change of a value is smaller than 0, that value would become smaller over time.

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.

The velocity of the vehicle in this question is getting smaller over time. Hence, the rate of change of the velocity of this vehicle (that is, the acceleration of this vehicle) would be a negative number.

I believe this battery is called Sheet battery.
Sheet battery is a flexible, ultra thin energy storage and production device formed by combining nano tubes with a conventional sheet of cellulose based paper. It acts as both a high-energy battery and super-capacitor, combining two components that are separate in traditional electronics.

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart
mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

as we know that

m_1 = 5 kg

m_2 = 2 kg

v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s

v_{2i} = 0 m/s

now from above equation we have

5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v

14 = (5+ 2) v

v = 2 m/s

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s

Argon makes up 0.93% by volume of air. Calculate its solubility (in mol/L) in water at 20°C and 1.0 atm. The Henry's law constan
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

S= 1.40x10⁻⁵mol/L

Explanation:

The Henry's Law is given by the next expression:

S = k_{H} \cdot p (1)

<em>where S: is the solubility or concentration of Ar in water, k_{H}: is Henry's law constant and p: is the pressure of the Ar </em>

<u>Since the argon is 0.93%, we need to multiply the equation (1) by this percent:</u>

S = 1.5 \cdot 10^{-3} \frac{mol}{L\cdot atm} \cdot 1.0atm \cdot \frac{0.93}{100} = 1.40 \cdot 10^{-5} \frac{mol}{L}

Therefore, the argon solubility in water is 1.40x10⁻⁵mol/L.

Have a nice day!
