Physics
Chemistry

Physical science is science which studies non-living things.This covers things on earth to the universe.The main branches are physics and chemistry.The other sub-branches are Astronomy, meteorology and Geology.Physics is concerned with the basic principals of matter and energy.It covers concepts in motion, energy, force, pressure , light and many other areas we encounter in our day to day life.Chemistry is concerned with composition of matter and how it reacts.Material in chemistry is understood through observing molecules, atoms, elements and their interaction in nature including their properties.Chemistry is further divided into organic chemistry and natural chemistry sub-branches.

Hope this helps you!!!

Ludwig Boltzmann performed a simple, but powerful experiment to gather evidence concerning the velocity distribution of a sample

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Ludwig Boltzmann was an Austrian Physicist and he performed a simple but powerful experiment to gather evidence concerning the velocity distribution of a sample of gas particles.

His experiment revealed that the way Gases are distributed in its normal form across a range of temperature is dependent on the molar mass amen temperature of the gas. Gases with high temperature move faster due to the high number of colliding particles when compared to those with low temperature. Gases with lower molar mass move faster than those with higher molar mass.

A 970-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked,

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

22.73 m/s or 81.72 kph

Explanation

We can find the combined mass of both cars as

970 kg + 2300 kg = 3270 kg.

Then the normal force of the cars can be calculated as

F(n)= mg

Where g is acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2

3270 kg ×9.8 = 32046 kg*m/s^2.

coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80 × F(n)

Then the frictional force can be calculated as

= (32046kg*m/s^2 × 0.80 )

= 25636.8 kg*m/s^2

We can now calculate the work done that was used stopping the cars as

Frictional force × distance

(25636.8 kg*m/s^2 ) × 2.9m= 74346.72kg*m^2/s^2

From kinetic energy formula, the combined velocity of the car can be determined

E=0.5 M V²

√(2E/M) = V

√(2*74346.72kg*m^2/s^2 / 3270 kg) = V

V= √ (45.472)

V=6.743293m/s

the momentum of both cars can be determined as

6.743293m/s * 3270 kg

= 22050.57kg*m/s

Now the final momentum of both cars must be equal to the the momentum of

the sports car just prior to the collision. Therefore, the speed of the sports car at impact.

=(22050.57 kg*m/s) / 970 kg = 22.73 m/s

We can convert that to km/h.

22.73 m/s * 3600 s/h / 1000 m/km = 81.72 kph

A proton moves perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field b with a speed of 3.7 × 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 5

svlad2 [7]

The magnetic force experienced by the proton is given by
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where q is the proton charge, v its velocity, B the magnitude of the magnetic field and $\theta$ the angle between the direction of v and B. Since the proton moves perpendicularly to the magnetic field, this angle is 90 degrees, so $\sin \theta=1$ and we can ignore it in the formula.

For Netwon's second law, the force is also equal to the proton mass times its acceleration:
$F=ma$

So we have
$ma=qvB$
from which we can find the magnitude of the field:
$B= \frac{ma}{qv}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(5\cdot 10^{13}m/s^2)}{(1-6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}=0.014 T$
