Hi there!

We can use the conservation of momentum for an INELASTIC collision:

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = v_f(m_1 + m_2)

Let:

m1 = mass of van (5000 kg)

m2 = mass of car (? kg)

v1 = initial velocity of van (10 m/s)

v2 = initial velocity of car (0 m/s)

vf = final velocity of BOTH objects (6 m/s)

We can rearrange and plug in values to solve for m2:

m_1v_1 + m_2(0) = v_f(m_1 + m_2)\\\\m_1v_1 = v_f(m_1 + m_2)\\\\(5000)(10) = 6(5000 + m_2)

Solve:

50000 = 30000 + 6m_2\\\\20000 = 6m_2\\\\m_2 = 20000/6 = \boxed{3333.33 kg}

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

PV=nRT

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i} (1)

P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f} (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because T_{i}=T_{f}, n_{i}=n_{f} and R is an universal constant:

P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}, solving for V_{f}

V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}

V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches

One isotope of bromine has an atomic mass of 78.92amu and a relative abundance of 50.69%. The other major isotope of bromine has
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The average atomic mass is 79.91 amu.

Explanation:

Since  

Atomic mass can be find by Multiplying the relative abundance of each isotope by its atomic mass, then add them together to get the atomic mass of the element.

so

Atomic  mass = (0.5069)(78.92 amu) + (0.4931)(80.92 amu)

                       =79.91 amu

So the Atomic mass of the  bromine is 79.91amu.
