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

Yanka [14]2 years ago

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.

An ideal gas occupies a volume V at an absolute temperature T. If the volume is halved and the pressure kept constant, what will
Kruka [31]

Answer:

It will be halve of T

Explanation:

V1 = V

T1 = T

V2 = ½V

T2 = x

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V/T = ½V/x

Vx = ½VT

2Vx = VT

2x = T

x = ½T

Acetic acid has a pKa of 4.74. Buffer A: 0.10 M HC2H3O2, 0.10 M NaC2H3O2 Buffer B: 0.30 M HC2H3O2, 0.30 M NaC2H3O2 Buffer C: 0.5
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.

Buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.

Explanation:

An effective weak acid-conjugate base buffer should have pH equal to pK_{a} of the weak acid. For buffers with the same pH, higher the concentrations of the components in a buffer, higher will the buffer capacity.

Acetic acid is a weak acid and CH_{3}COO^{-} is the conjugate base So, all the given buffers are weak acid-conjugate base buffers. The pH of these buffers are expressed as (Henderson-Hasselbalch):

pH=pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)+log\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}

pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)=4.74

Buffer A:    pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.10}{0.10})=4.74

Buffer B:   pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.30}{0.30})=4.74

Buffer C:   pH=4.74+log(\frac{0.10}{0.50})=4.04

So, both buffer A and buffer B has same pH value which is also equal to pK_{a} . Buffer B has higher concentrations of the components as compared to buffer A, Hence, buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.

The pH of buffer C is far away from pK_{a} . Therefore, buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.

A solution of NaOH is titrated with H2SO4. It is found that 20.05 mL of 0.3564 M H2SO4 solution is equivalent to 43.42 mL of NaO
Darya [45]

Answer : The concentration of NaOH is, 0.336 M

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is H_2SO_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=0.3564M\\V_1=20.05mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=?\\V_2=43.42mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2\times 0.3564M\times 20.05mL=1\times M_2\times 43.42mL

M_2=0.336M

Thus, the concentration of NaOH is, 0.336 M

How does the size of a nanoparticle compare with the size of an atom?
RSB [31]
A nanoparticle is larger than an atom. A nanoparticle is usually made from a few hundred atoms. These  particles range from 1 nanometers to 100 nanometers. On the other hand an atom ranges from 0.1 nanometers to 105 nanometers. Using the sizes above, one can clearly see and understand that an atom is smaller.
