How does a car safely transfer the kinetic energy of the passenger and the car?

Energy transfer is an extension of Newton’s Laws. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed; it can only be transferred. The moving body has energy, called kinetic energy, and this energy will be transferred into something else as the body slows. Likewise, the car crashing into you will transfer its kinetic energy to you. The other type of energy is potential energy, or stored energy. Think of a spring. When you pull it, you are storing energy. When you let it go, this potential energy is transferred into kinetic energy as motion. Car manufacturers engineer a purposeful flaw into the structure, the Crumble Zone. This Crumble Zone is a structurally assigned place for kinetic energy to be transferred into potential energy in the case of an accident. When two cars collide, the kinetic energy is used up to fold the metal of the auto, keeping the destructive energy out of the passengers. The same science is behind the recommendation that motorcyclists wear helmets and body armor. Auto crumble zones, as well as air bags, helmet foam and Kevlar, are all methods for converting harmful kinetic energy into safe potential energy.

PLEASE HELP ME NOW! WHATS NEWTONS FIRST LAW?!!!
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

8. How much heat, in kilojoules, is needed to produce 1850 grams of ammonia (NH3),
AleksAgata [21]

Based on the enthalpy of the reaction, 41625 kJ of heat is needed to produce 1850 grams of ammonia (NH3).

<h3>What is heat of reaction?</h3>

The heat of reaction or enthalpy change is the heat absorbed or evolved when reactant molecules react to form products.

According the enthalpy value of the reaction, 4 moles of ammonia require 1530 kJ of heat for its formation.

Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g

Mass of 4 moles of ammonia = 4 × 17 = 68 g

1850 g of ammonia will require = 1850 × 1530/68 = 41625 kJ of heat.

Therefore, 41625 kJ of heat is needed to produce 1850 grams of ammonia (NH3).

Arrange the ions N3-, O2-, Mg2 , Na , and F- in order of increasing ionic radius, starting with the smallest first. Arrange the
Bond [772]

Answer:

Order of increasing ionic radius starting from the smallest is

Mg2+ < Na+ < F- < O2- < N3-

Explanation:

Ionic radius is the distance between the nucleus and the electrons in the outermost shell of an ion. In the ions given about, it can be deducted that they all have the same number of electrons and are said to be isoelectronic. This shows us that they all have the same electrons and we can only seperate them by checking the respective charges on the ions. A more positive charge will have a smaller radius while a more negative will have a larger radius. This is because when an atom loses an electron and form a cation (+), the remaining electrons move closer to the nucleus and hence a smaller radius of the atom occurs. But when an atom gains n electron,it forms anion (-), the new electron leads to the shielding of the remaining electrons from the nucleus and a large radius of the atom occurs.

So therefore, the above ions all have 10 electrons in their shells and magnesium with atomic number 12 and having lost 2 electrons to become positively charge has the smallest radius compared to others.

Mg2+ = 12 protons, 10 electrons

Na+ = 11 protons, 10 electrons

F- = 9 protons, 10 electrons

O2- = 8 protons, 10 electrons

N3- = 7 protons, 10 electrons

N3- has the largest ionic radius and Mg2+ has the lowest ionic radius.

The order is thus, Mg2+ , Na+, F-, O2-, N3-

There are 11 electrons in Sodium(Na)
The first shell can hold 2 electrons 
The second shell can hold 8 electrons 
The third shell can also hold 8 electrons but there is only 1 left

so the answer is 2, 8, 1

67.4 L of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas at 0.0C and at 1 atm of pressure is equivalent aren’t to how many moles?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Solution here,

Volume(V)=67.4 L

Pressure(P)=1 atm

Temperature(T)=(0+273)K=273K

Universal gas constant(R)=0.0821 L.atm.mol^-1K^-1

No. of moles(n)=?

Now,

PV=nRT

or, 1×67.4=n×0.0821×273

or, 67.4=22.4n

or, n=67.4/22.4

or, n=3

therefore, required no. of mole is 3.
