Answer:

Part a)

$a = 2.4 m/s^2$

Part b)

$F = 120 N$

Explanation:

Two sleds are connected by a rope

mass of each sled is given as

$m = 100 kg$

now we know that dog exert pulling force on the rope connected to first sled

$F = 240 N$

Part a)

By newton's first law we know that

$F = (m + m)a$

$240 = (100 + 100)a$

$a = \frac{240}{100}$

$a = 2.4 m/s^2$

Part b)

As we know that force between two ropes will pull the sled behind

so we will have

$F = ma$

$F = 100(1.20)$

$F = 120 N$

A substance has a heat of vaporization of 16.69 kJ/mole. At 254.3 K it has a vaporpressure of 92.44 mm Hg. Calculate its vapor p

adoni [48]

Answer:

The vapor pressure is 170.6 mmHg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat of vaporization = 16.69 kJ/mole

Temperature = 254.3

Pressure = 92.44 mmHg

Temperature = 275.7 K

We need to calculate the vapor pressure

Using relation pressure and temperature

$ln\dfrac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}=\dfrac{-\Delta H}{R}(\dfrac{1}{T_{2}}-\dfrac{1}{T_{1}})$

Put the value into the relation

$ln\dfrac{P_{2}}{92.44}=\dfrac{-16690}{8.314}(\dfrac{1}{275.7}-\dfrac{1}{254.3})$

$ln\dfrac{P_{2}}{92.44}=0.61274$

$\dfrac{P_{2}}{92.44}=e^{0.61274}$

$P_{2}=1.84548\times92.44$

$P_{2}=170.6\ mmHg$

Hence, The vapor pressure is 170.6 mmHg.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a 15.22 m/s

b 45.65 m

Explanation:

Using the same formula,

x = vt, where

x is now 45.65, and

t is 3 s, then

45.65 = 3v

v = 45.65/3

v = 15.22 m/s

See the attachment for the part b. We used the distance gotten in part B, to find question A

Four electrons are located at the corners of a square 10.0 nm on a side, with an alpha particle at its midpoint. How much work i

Elis [28]

Four electrons are placed at the corner of a square

So we will first find the electrostatic potential at the center of the square

So here it is given as

$V = 4\frac{kQ}{r}$

here

r = distance of corner of the square from it center

$r = \frac{a}{\sqrt2}$

$r = \frac{10nm}{\sqrt2} = 7.07 nm$

$Q = e = -1.6 * 10^{-19} C$

now the net potential is given as

$V = \frac{4 * 9*10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{7.07 * 10^{-9}}$

$V = 0.815 V$

now potential energy of alpha particle at this position

$U_i = qV = 2*1.6 * 10^{-19} * (-0.815) = -2.6 * 10^{-19} J$

Now at the mid point of one of the side

Electrostatic potential is given as

$V = 2\frac{kQ}{r_1} + 2\frac{kQ}{r_2}$

here we know that

$r_1 = \frac{a}{2} = 5 nm$

$r_2 = \sqrt{(a/2)^2 + a^2} = \frac{\sqrt5 a}{2}$

$r_2 = 11.2 nm$

now potential is given as

$V = 2\frac{9 * 10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{5 * 10^{-9}} + 2\frac{9*10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{11.2 * 10^{-9}}$

$V = -0.576 - 0.257 = -0.833 V$

now final potential energy is given as

$U_f = q*V = 2*1.6 * 10^{-19}* (-0.833) = -2.67 * 10^{-19} J$

Now work done in this process is given as

$W = U_f - U_i$

$W = (-0.267 * 10^{-19}) - (-0.26 * 10^{-19}}$

$W = -7 * 10^{-22} J$

An iron ball and an aluminum ball of mass 100 g each are heated to the same temperature and then cooled to a temperature of 20°C

Mekhanik [1.2K]

As the temperature changes and their masses are the same, heat lost by the balls is directly proportional to their specific heat values. The heat lost by the aluminum ball is higher implies aluminum has higher specific heat.

A block is projected with speed v across a horizontal surface and slides to a stop due to friction. The same block is then proje

natka813 [3]

Answer: C. The case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

Explanation:

First and foremost, it should be noted that the mechanical energy is the addition of the potential and the kinetic energy.

From the information given, it should be known that when the block is projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction, the box will lose its kinetic energy but there'll be na increase in the potential energy as a result of the veritcal height. This then brings about an increase in the mechanical energy.

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the block will decrease the least when the case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.
