If two automobiles have the same acceleration, do they have the same velocity? Why or why not?

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration = Velocity/Time

An example of where the velocity would be different is:

Acceleration = $\frac{10\ m/s}{2s}=5\ m/s^2$ (automobile 1)

Acceleration = $\frac{25 \ m/s}{5 s}=5\ m/s^2$ (automobile 2)

As you can see, the velocity for the first automobile is 10 m/s while the second one has a velocity of 25 m/s (with a greater time travelled) and both resulted in the same acceleration of 5 m/s².

Alex

Answer:

Mc = 900 Kg

Uc = 28 ms^-1

Md = 70 Kg

Ud = 0

We want Vd

Vc = Vd

This situation is elastic momentum

$m _{c}u _{c}+ m _{d}u _{d} = m _{c}v _{c} + m _ dv _{d} \\ (900 \times 28) + (70 \times 0) = (900 \times v _{d} ) + (70 \times v _{d}) \\ 25200 = (900 + 70)v _{d} \\ 25200 = 970v _{d} \\ v _{d} = \frac{25200}{970} \\ v _{d} = 26 \: m {s}^{ - 1}$

What did j.J. Thomson discover about the composition of atoms?

nordsb [41]

Answer:

J.J. Thomson discovered <u><em>the electron</em></u> by experimenting with a Crookes, or cathode ray, tube. He demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged. In addition, he also studied positively charged particles in neon gas.

Five hundred joules of heat are added to a closed system. The initial internal energy of the system is 87 J, and the final inter

Aleonysh [2.5K]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U= Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the variation of internal energy of the system

Q is the heat added to the system

W is the work done by the system

In this problem, the variation of internal energy of the system is

$\Delta U=U_f-U_i=134 J-87 J=47 J$

While the heat added to the system is

$Q=500 J$

therefore, the work done by the system is

$W=Q-\Delta U=500 J-47 J=453 J$

What is the difference between atomic structure and crystal structure?

mars1129 [50]

Atomic structure applies to just that, atoms in isolation. Witness looking at atomic spectra using laboratory discharge tubes to ionise low pressure gases of atoms of the elements you want to examine for energy level structure (sodium and the yellow D line "doublet").Crystal structure applies to vast collections of atoms/molecules/ions in complicated geometrical arrays which form lattices. Simple cubic, body centred cubic, face centred cubic being a few "simple" examples.

A hot-air balloon is floating above a straight road. To estimate their height above the ground, the balloonists simultaneously m

ki77a [65]

We know that
tan(∅) = y/x; where y will be the height of the balloon and x will be the distance from the milestone marker.
The marker that is further away will produce a smaller angle of depression.
tan(18) = height / x
x = height / tan(18)

The second marker is x + 1 miles away:
tan(16) = height / x + 1; substituting x:
tan(16) = height / (height/tan(18) + 1)
tan(16) x [(height / tan(18) + 1] = height
0.88h + 0.29 = h
h = 2.42 miles
