Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a.52.9 km/h

b.90 km

Explanation:

We are given that

$v_1=89km/h$

$t_1=30min$

$v_2=100km/h$

$t_2=12min$

$v_3=40km/h$

$t_3=45 min$

Time spend on eating lunch and buying ga=15 min.

a.Total time=30+12+45+15=102 minute= $\frac{102}{60}=1.7 hour$

1 hour=60 minutes

Distance= $speed\times time$

$d_1=v_1\times t_1=80\times\frac{30}{60}=40km$

$d_2=100\times \frac{12}{60}=20 km$

$d_3=40\times \frac{45}{60}=30 km$

Total distance= $d_1+d_2+d_3=40+20+30=90km$

Average speed= $\frac{total\;speed}{total\;time}$

Using the formula

Average speed= $\frac{90}{1.7}=52.9Km/h$

b.Total distance between the initial and final city lies along the route=90 km

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of

v = E / B

Explanation:

After reading this long statement we can extract the data to work on the problem.

* They indicate that when the beam passes through the plates it deviates towards the positive plate, so the beam must be negative electrons.

* Now indicates that the electric field and the magnetic field are contracted and that the beam passes without deviating, so the electric and magnetic forces must be balanced

$F_{e} = F_{m}$

q E = qv B

v = E / B

this configuration is called speed selector

They ask us what type of beam was used.

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of v = E / B

We start with 5.00 moles of an ideal monatomic gas with an initial temperature of 128 ∘C. The gas expands and, in the process, a

o-na [289]

Answer:

The final temperature of the gas is <em>114.53°C</em>.

Explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the change in internal energy, ΔU from the first law of thermodynamics:

ΔU=Q - W

ΔU = 1180 J - 2020 J = -840 J

Secondly, from the ideal gas law, we calculate the final temperature of the gas, using the change in internal energy:

$ΔU=\frac{3}{2} nRΔT$

$ΔU=\frac{3}{2} nR(T_{2} -T_{1} )$

Then we make the final temperature, T₂, subject of the formula:

$T_{2} =\frac{2ΔU}{3nR} +T_{1}$

$T_{2} =\frac{2(-840J)}{(3)(5)(8.314J/mol.K)} +128 deg.C$

$T_{2} =114.53 deg.C$

Therefore the final temperature of the gas, T₂, is 114.53°C.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.
