Answer:

Explanation:

A wonderful (NOT) mixed unit problem

convert mph to m/s

v = 10 mi/hr(5280 ft/mi)(12 in/ft)(2.54 cm/in) / (100 cm/m) / (3600 s/hr)

v = 4.4704 m/s

KE = ½(0.006)4.4704²

KE = 0.05995342848 J

KE = 0.06 J

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

Explanation:

We could use conversation of energy. Total distance the stone will cover will be

$h=\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}$

the Final velocity will be

$v=gt\\v=g\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\ v=\sqrt{2gh}$

Velocity (m/s)

alekssr [168]

Explanation:

⠀

(a) The segment A shows acceleration as velocity increases with the increase in time.

⠀

(b) The segment C shows the object is slowing down as the time increases in segment C, the velocity decreases and afterwards it comes to rest.

⠀

(c) The velocity is segment B is 40m/s. And in the diagram there is no change in velocity.

⠀

(d) The acceleration of segment B is zero. As there in no change in curve and it is moving with uniform velocity.

According to the law of refraction, light passing from air into a piece of glass at an angle of 30 degrees will cause the light

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

bend toward the normal line

Explanation:

When light passes from a less dense to a more dense substance, (for example passing from air into water), the light is refracted (or bent) towards the normal. In your question the light is moving from rarer to denser medium

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands

seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV= ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV= ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV = n*R*T ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁) = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J
