Answer:

3000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum, p is a product of mass and velocity hence

p=mv where m is mass and v is velocity.

Change in momentum is given by m(v_f-v_i) where subscripts f and i represent final and initial respectively. Since the lorry finally comes to rest then the final velocity is zero. Substituting the given figures then

Change in momentum= 6000(0-0.5)=-3000 kg.m/s

A cubical shell with edges of length a is positioned so that two adjacent sides of one face are coincident with the +x and +y ax
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Q = ba⁴ * ε₀

Explanation:

From Gauss's Law, we know that

flux Φ = Q / ε₀

where ε₀ = 8.85e-12 C²/N·m²

and also,

Φ = EAcosθ

The field is directed along the x-axis, so that all of the flux passes through the side of the cube at x = a. This means that θ = 0º, and thus

Φ = EAcos0

Φ = EA

E = bx² meanwhile, we are interested in the point where x = a, so we substitute and then

E = ba²

Since A = a² for the cube face, we have

Q / ε₀ = E * A

Q / ε₀ = ba² * a²

so that

Q = ba⁴ * ε₀

For a particular reaction, the change in enthalpy is 51kJmole and the activation energy is 109kJmole. Which of the following cou
Ronch [10]

Answer

given,

change in enthalpy = 51 kJ/mole

change in activation energy = 109 kJ/mole

when a reaction is catalysed change in enthalpy between the product and the reactant does not change it remain constant.

where as activation energy of the product and the reactant decreases.

example:

ΔH = 51 kJ/mole

E_a= 83 kJ/mole

here activation energy decrease whereas change in enthalpy remains same.

John runs 1.0 m/s at first, and then accelerates to 1.6 m/s during
erastova [34]

Answer: 0.13m/s^2

Explanation:

Formula: a=\frac{V_2-V_1}{t}

Where;

a = acceleration

V2 = final velocity

V1 = initial velocity

t = time

If John runs 1.0 m/s first, we assume this is V1. He accelerates to 1.6 m/s; this is V2.

a=\frac{1.6m/s-1.0m/s}{4.5s}

a=\frac{0.6m/s}{4.5s}

a=0.13m/s^2

Every winter I fly home to Chicago. It takes 3 hours. What is my average speed?
Tanya [424]

It depends on where you live when you're not visiting Chicago. We need to know the distance of the trip.

Your average speed on the trip is . . .

(total distance in miles) / (3 hours)

miles per hour
