A car skids on a wet highway. According to Newton's first law, why does the

1 answer:

4 0

Newton's first law says that without external forces, your velocity doesn't change. Remember that velocity is both how fast you're going but also what direction you're going.
Normally, a car turns because the tires on the ground have traction so they have friction which allows them to change direction and turn. But on an icy highway, tires can't get much friction so it's really hard to turn.
Because the ice stops friction, a car can't get enough force to change direction and follow the curve, meaning it will try and stay going in the same direction, which is dangerous.

A container is filled with an ideal diatomic gas to a pressure and volume of P1 and V1, respectively. The gas is then warmed in

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The change is as follows

P₁ V₁ to 3P₁, V₁ ( constt volume ) --- first process

3P₁,V₁ to 3P₁ , 5V₁ ( constt pressure ) ---- second process

In the first process Temperature must have been increased 3 times . So if initial temperature is T₁ then final temperature will be 3 T₁

P₁V₁ = n R T₁ , n is no of moles of gas enclosed.

nRT₁ = P₁V₁

Heat added at constant volume = n Cv ( 3T₁ - T₁)

= n x 5/3 R X 2T₁ ( for diatomic gas Cv = 5/3 R)

= 10/3 x nRT₁

= 10/3x P₁V₁

In the second process, Temperature must have been increased 5 times . So if initial temperature is 3T₁ then final temperature will be 15 T₁

Heat added at constant pressure in second case

= n Cp ( 15T₁ - 3T₁)

= n x 7/3 R X 12T₁ ( For diatomic gas Cp = 7/3 R)

= 28 x nRT₁

= 28 P₁V₁

A steel plate shine but wooden vessel desnt

Tcecarenko [31]

<u>Answer</u> :

A new steel plate shines but an wooden vessel does not shine because new steel plate has lustre. ... Because steel absorbs very little amount of light and reflects back the light but in case of wooden vessel it has dull appearence and reflects very little amount of light so it does not shine.

You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 2.20 kg , up an incline of constant slope an

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The minimum speed of the box bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier is 8.19 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 2.2 kg

The box is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees

Vertical distance, d = 3.1 m

The coefficient of friction, $\mu=6\times 10^{-2}$

Using the work energy theorem, the loss of kinetic energy is equal to the sum of gain in potential energy and the work done against friction.

$KE=PE+W$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh+W$

W is the work done by the friction.

$W=f\times d$

$f=\mu mg\ cos\theta$

$W=\mu mg\ cos\theta\times \dfrac{d}{sin\theta}$

$W=\dfrac{\mu mgh}{tan\theta}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh+\dfrac{\mu mgh}{tan\theta}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=gh+\dfrac{\mu gh}{tan\theta}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=9.8\times 3.1+\dfrac{6\times 10^{-2}\times 9.8\times 3.1}{tan(30)}$

v = 8.19 m/s

So, the speed of the box is 8.19 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the freezing point of radiator fluid that is 50% antifreeze by mass? k f for water is 1.86 ∘ c/m?

densk [106]

Ethylene glycol is termed as the primary ingredients in antifreeze.
The ethylene glycol molecular formula is C₂H₆O₂.
Molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ is = (2×12) +(6×1) + (216) = 62g/mol
Now that antifreeze by mass is 50%, then there is 1kg of ethylene glycol which is present in 1kg of water.
ΔTf = Kf×m
ΔTf = depression in the freezing point.
= freezing point of water freezing point of the solution
= O°c - Tf
= -Tf
Kf = depression in freezing constant of water = 1.86°C/m
M is the molarity of the solution.
=(mass/molar mass) mass of solvent in kg
=1000g/62 (g/mol) /1kg
=16.13m
If we plug the value we get
-Tf = 1.86 × 16.13 = 30
Tf = -30°c

To what potential should you charge a 2.0 μF capacitor to store 1.0 J of energy?

Bess [88]

E = (1/2)CV²
1 = (1/2)*(2*10⁻⁶)V²
10⁶ = V²
1000 = V

You should charge it to 1000 volts to store 1.0 J of energy.
