To escape from a horrible fire, two people are forced to jump from the third story of a burning building onto solid concrete. Wh

ich person is more likely to sustain fewer injuries: the jumper who comes to an abrupt halt when he lands or the jumper who bounces after impact?

Aircraft sometimes acquire small static charges. Suppose a supersonic jet has a 0.55 μC charge and flies due west at a speed of

Illusion [34]

Answer:

3.014 x 10⁻⁸ N

Explanation:

q = magnitude of charge on the supersonic jet = 0.55 μC = 0.55 x 10⁻⁶ C

v = speed of the jet = 685 m/s

B = magnitude of magnetic field in the region = 8 x 10⁻⁵ T

θ = angle between the magnetic field and direction of motion = 90

magnitude of the magnetic force is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

F = (0.55 x 10⁻⁶) (685) (8 x 10⁻⁵) Sin90

F = 3.014 x 10⁻⁸ N

A truck is traveling 20m/s accelerates 3 m/s^2 for 4 seconds how far did it travel while it was accelerating. Using guess method

stellarik [79]

<h3> $\huge\underline\bold\blue{ƛƝƧƜЄƦ}$ </h3><h3>Given</h3>

$\blue\star$ v = 20m\s

$\blue\star$ a = 3m\s^2

$\blue\star$ t = 4sec

Firstly we have to find u

$\star$ a = $\dfrac{v - u}{t}$

$\star$ 3m\s = $\dfrac{20 - u}{4}$

$\star$ 12m\s = 20 - u

$\star$ 20 - u = 12m\s

$\star$ - u = -8

$\star$ u = 8

Now we can easily find distance by using second equation of motion

$\red\star$ s = ut + 1\2 at^2

$\red\star$ s = 8(4) + 1\2(3)(16)

$\red\star$ s = 32 + 24

$\red\star$ s = 56

So distance is 56 m\s hope it helps

What is the net power needed to change the speed of a 1600-kg sport utility vehicle from 15.0 m/s to 40.0 m/s in 4.00 seconds

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is 275,000 W

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the sport vehicle, m = 1600 kg

initial velocity of the vehicle, u = 15 m/s

final velocity of the vehicle, v = 40 m/s

time of motion, t = 4 s

The force needed to change the speed of the sport vehicle;

$F = \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\F = \frac{1600(40-15)}{4} \\\\F = 10,000 \ N$

The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is calculated as;

$P_{net} = \frac{1}{2} F[u + v]\\\\P_{net} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10,000[15 + 40]\\\\P_{net} = 275,000 \ W$

A. How many atoms of helium gas fill a spherical balloon of diameter 29.6 cm at 19.0°C and 1.00 atm? b. What is the average kine

Korolek [52]

Answer:

a) 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) 1349.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the balloon, d = 29.6 cm = 0.296 m

Temperature, T = 19.0° C = 19 + 273 = 292 K

Pressure, P = 1.00 atm = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa

Volume of the balloon = $\frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{d}{2})^3$

or

Volume of the balloon = $\frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{0.296}{2})^3$

or

Volume of the balloon, V = 0.0135 m³

Now,

From the relation,

PV = nRT

where,

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314 kg⋅m²/s²⋅K⋅mol

on substituting the respective values, we get

1.013 × 10⁵ × 0.0135 = n × 8.314 × 292

or

n = 0.563

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

Thus,

0.563 moles will have = 0.563 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms = 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) Average kinetic energy = $\frac{3}{2}\times K_BT$

where,

Boltzmann constant, $K_B=1.3807\times10^{-23}J/K$

Average kinetic energy = $\frac{3}{2}\times1.3807\times10^{-23}\times292$

or

Average kinetic energy = 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) rms speed = $\frac{3RT}{m}$

where, m is the molar mass of the Helium = 0.004 Kg

or

rms speed = $\frac{3\times8.314\times292}{0.004}$

or

rms speed = 1349.35 m/s

Why does matter increase in volume when it heats up?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. ... Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy ) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.
