An object at rest is suddenly broken apart into two fragments by an explosion. The first fragment (with mass m1) acquires twice the kinetic energy of the second one (with mass m2).
What is the ratio of their masses?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

m1 ÷ m2 = 1 ÷ 2

Explanation:

The ratio of their masses is as follows:

As it is given that the mass m1 is twice of mass m2

So the equation could be written as

[tex]\frac{1}{2} m1 v1 v1 = 2 \times \frac{1}{2} m2 v2 v2\\\\\frac{m1}{m2} = \frac{2 v2 v2}{v1 v1} ..........(1)[/tex]

Here we used the  conservation of momentum

Prior to the explosion, the object is in rest so the momentum would be zero but after the explosion the total momentum would be  m1v1 + m2v2,  that is also zero.

So,

[tex]m1 v1 + m2 v2 = 0\\\\m1 v1 = - m2 v2\\\\\frac{m1}{m2} = \frac{- v2}{v1}[/tex]

Now squaring to the both sides

m1 m1 ÷ (m2 m2) = v2 v2 ÷ (v1 v1) ........(2 )

Solved both the equations

After solving it, the ratio is

m1 ÷ m2 = 1 ÷ 2

Answer:

A stunt person jumps from the roof of a tall building, but no injury occurs because the person lands on a large, air-filled bag. Which one of the following best describes why no injury occurs?

The bag increases the amount of time during which the momentum is changing and reduces the average force on the person.

ANSWER: A

Answer:

A. The bag increases the amount of time during which the momentum is changing and reduces the average force on the person.

During stunts, people usually put an-air filled bag on the ground for safe landing and to prevent injuries.

Momentum is calculated by m* v where m is for mass and v is for velocity.

Force is directly proportional to momentum

F∝M

The bag in this scenario helps to increases the amount of time the force acts on the person. This implication means that there is a reduction in the change of momentum. Since Force and momentum have a directly proportional relationship then the Force taken to hit the floor is greatly reduced.

Answer:

1a

  [tex]W = 242.5 \ J[/tex]

1b

    [tex]W = 240 \ J[/tex]

Explanation:

Considering question a

From the question we are told that

       The mass of the toy baby stroller is  [tex]m = 5.0 \ kg[/tex]

        The distance covered is    [tex]d = 7.0\ m[/tex]

          The force the girl applies on the handle  is  [tex]F = 40 \ N[/tex]

          The angle at which this force is applied is  [tex]\theta = 30^o[/tex]

Generally the workdone is mathematically represented as

          [tex]W = F_x * d[/tex]

Here  [tex]F_x[/tex] is the force along the horizontal axis , this is mathematically represented as

           [tex]F_x = F cos (\theta )[/tex]

=>         [tex]F_x = 40 * cos(30 )[/tex]

=>         [tex]F_x = 34.64 \ N[/tex]

So

              [tex]W = 34.64 * 7[/tex]

=>           [tex]W = 242.5 \ J[/tex]

Considering question b

From the question we are told that

       The mass of the toy baby stroller is  [tex]m = 20 \ kg[/tex]

        The distance covered is    [tex]d = 4 \ m[/tex]

          The force the girl applies on the handle  is  [tex]F = 60 \ N[/tex]      

Generally the workdone is mathematically represented as

          [tex]W = F * d[/tex]

=>     [tex]W = 60 * 4[/tex]

=>     [tex]W = 240 \ J[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

Increase in frequency = 7.1% =

Computation:

Assume n = 100%

n1 = [(v+v0)/(v+v1)]n

[100 + 7.1] =  [(344+v0)/(344+0)]100

Answers

Answer:

Power_input = 85.71 [W]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must first find the work done. Work is defined as the product of force by distance.

[tex]W = F*d[/tex]

where:

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

F = force [N] (units of Newton)

d = distance [m]

We need to bear in mind that the force can be calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravity acceleration.

Now replacing:

[tex]W = (80*10)*3\\W = 2400 [J][/tex]

Power is defined as the work done over a certain time. In this way by means of the following formula, we can calculate the required power.

[tex]P=\frac{W}{t}[/tex]

where:

P = power [W] (units of watts)

W = work [J]

t = time = 40 [s]

[tex]P = 2400/40\\P = 60 [W][/tex]

The calculated power is the required power. Now as we have the efficiency of the machine, we can calculate the power that is introduced, to be able to do that work.

[tex]Effic=0.7\\Effic=P_{required}/P_{introduced}\\P_{introduced}=60/0.7\\P_{introduced}=85.71[W][/tex]

Explain how polarization of a cell increases the cell's internal resistance.
(2
2.​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation: The chemical action that occurs in the cell while the current is flowing causes hydrogen bubbles to form on the surface of the anode. This action is called POLARIZATION. Some hydrogen bubbles rise to the surface of the electrolyte and escape into the air, some remain on the surface of the anode. If enough bubbles remain around the anode, the bubbles form a barrier that increases internal resistance. When the internal resistance of the cell increases, the output current is decreased and the voltage of the cell also decreases.

   A cell that is heavily polarized has no useful output. There are several methods to prevent polarization or to depolarize the cell.

   One method uses a vent on the cell to permit the hydrogen to escape into the air. A disadvantage of this method is that hydrogen is not available to reform into the electrolyte during recharging. This problem is solved by adding water to the electrolyte, such as in an automobile battery. A second method is to use material that is rich in oxygen, such as manganese dioxide, which supplies free oxygen to combine with the hydrogen and form water.

   A third method is to use a material that will absorb the hydrogen, such as calcium. The calcium releases hydrogen during the charging process. All three methods remove enough hydrogen so that the cell is practically free from polarization.

LOCAL ACTION

   When the external circuit is removed, the current ceases to flow, and, theoretically, all chemical action within the cell stops. However, commercial zinc contains many impurities, such as iron, carbon, lead, and arsenic. These impurities form many small electrical cells within the zinc electrode in which current flows between the zinc and its impurities. Thus, the chemical action continues even though the cell itself is not connected to a load.

   Local action may be prevented by using pure zinc (which is not practical), by coating the zinc with mercury, or by adding a small percentage of mercury to the zinc during the manufacturing process. The treatment of the zinc with mercury is called amalgamating (mixing) the zinc. Since mercury is many times heavier than an equal volume of water, small particles of impurities weighing less than mercury will float to the surface of the mercury. The removal of these impurities from the zinc prevents local action. The mercury is not readily acted upon by the acid. When the cell is delivering current to a load, the mercury continues to act on the impurities in the zinc. This causes the impurities to leave the surface of the zinc electrode and float to the surface of the mercury. This process greatly increases the storage life of the cell.

Answers

Answer:

velocity = 16.05 m/s

Explanation:

inelastic collision formula:

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v

m1 = 4kg

u1 = 20m/s

m2 = 15kg

u2 = 15m/s

find v ?

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v

(4×20) + (15×15) = (4+15)v

80 + 225 = 19v

305 = 19v

19v = 305

v = 305/19

v = 16.05 m/s

( water n = 1.33, Air n = 1.00 )

Answers

Answer:

Refractive index of the plastic = 1.46

Explanation:

By Snell's law,

[tex]\frac{\text{sin}\theta _{2} }{\text{sin}\theta _{1}}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}[/tex]

Here, [tex]\theta _1[/tex] = Angle of incidence in medium 1 (Plastic)

[tex]\theta_2[/tex] = Angle of refraction in medium 2 (Water)

[tex]n_1[/tex] = Refractive index of medium 1 (Plastic)

[tex]n_2[/tex] = Refractive index of medium 2 (Water)

By substituting values in the formula,

[tex]\frac{\text{sin}(48.7)}{\text{sin}(55.5)}=\frac{1.33}{n_2}[/tex]

[tex]n_2=\frac{1.33\times \text{sin}(55.5)}{\text{sin}(48.7)}[/tex]

    = 1.46

Therefore, refractive index of the plastic = 1.46

the maximum intensity levels of a trumpet, trombone, and a bass drum, each at a distance of 3m are 94 dB, 107dB, and 113dB respectively. What is the intensity level of the three different instruments when played simultaneously, again at 3m?

Answers

Answer:

β = 114 db

Explanation:

The intensity of sound in decibles is

          β = 10 log [tex]\frac{I}{I_{o}}[/tex]

in most cases Io is the hearing threshold 1 10-12 W / cm²

let's calculate the intensity of each instrument

            I / I₀ = 10 (β / 10)

            I = I₀ 10 (β / 10)

trumpet

            I1 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (94/10)

            I1 = 2.51 10⁻³ / cm²

Thrombus

           I2 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (107/10)

           I2 = 5.01 10-2 W / cm²

low

           I3 =1 1-12    (113/10) W/cm²

            I3 = 1,995 10-1 W / cm²

when we place the three instruments together their sounds reinforce

           I_total = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

           I_ttoal = 2.51 10-3 + 5.01 10-2 + ​​1.995 10-1

           I_total = 0.00251 + 0.0501 + 0.1995

           I_total = 0.25211 W / cm²

let's bring this amount to the SI system

Free Fall Motion

It occurs when an object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon solely by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not face air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is [tex]g = 9.8 m/s^2[/tex].

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

Have you ever cut an apple in half and looked at the layers inside? When you cut something in half, the resulting view is called a cross section. When you look at the cross section of an apple, you see several layers: the skin, the pulp, the core, and the seeds. Much like the apple, Earth is made up of layers, too. If you could look at a cross section of our planet, you would see the crust. the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. If Earth were an apple, the crust would be the apple’s skin. The mantle would be the apple’s pulp, making up most of the inside. Earth also has a central core, similar to an apple’s core, though Earth’s core does not contain any seeds! Of course, scientists cannot cut the whole planet in half to see a cross section the way you can with an apple. How do you think scientists know about Earth’s internal layers?

Scientists divide Earth’s interior into distinct layers.

Scientists can distinguish different layers in Earth depending on the properties used to identify each layer. For example, scientists identify the crust, mantle, and core based on each layer’s basic chemical composition. In other words, the crust, mantle, and core are each made up of different chemical elements. The crust and mantle are composed primarily of the elements oxygen and silicon. These are known as silicates. Silicates of the mantle contain heavier elements. This makes them denser than those found in the crust. The core is composed of the densest materials, primarily iron and nickel. Earth’s layers can also be identified by using each layer’s physical state of matter. The crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, together, make up a layer called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the cool, rigid, outermost layer of Earth. The lithosphere is in the solid
In a typical silicate molecule, a silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms. The atoms form a crystal structure.

Scientists use models to represent the different layers of Earth’s interior.

When constructing a model of the layers of Earth, scientists need to consider the chemical composition, state of matter, and thickness of each layer. Just like the skin of an apple, Earth’s crust is very thin compared to the other layers. It is about 25–70 km thick beneath the continents. Under the oceans, the crust is only about 5–7 km thick; however, it is much denser. The mantle is much thicker than the crust is, taking up most of Earth’s volume. The mantle begins directly beneath Earth’s crust. It reaches all the way to the outer core, about 2,900 km below the planet’s surface. In other words, Earth is about 1% crust, 83% mantle, and 16% core.

The crust and uppermost mantle are solid. The rest of the mantle is solid with plasticity. The core is made of very dense iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid, because it is hot enough to melt the iron and nickel. The inner core is solid. Even though it is as hot as the outer core, there is so much pressure at the very center of Earth that the iron and nickel stay in a solid state.

Looking to the Future: Exploring Earth’s Interior

Despite what you may have read in stories or seen in movies, scientists have never journeyed to the center of Earth. In fact, scientists have never made it through Earth’s crust! However, this has not stopped them from trying. The crust at the bottom of the oceans is much thinner than the crust of the continents. Therefore, drilling through the oceanic crust is the best chance that scientists have to make it to the mantle.

Answers

Answer:

Except in the crust, the interior of the Earth cannot be studied by drilling holes to take samples. Instead, scientists map the interior by watching how seismic waves from earthquakes are bent, reflected, sped up, or delayed by the various layers.

What is the largest possible distance between speaker B and the observer, such that he observes destructive interference

Answers

Complete question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The largest possible distance is [tex]e = 15.33 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The separation between Speaker at  position  A and B  is  AB =  6.60 m

   The frequency of the tune which the speaker are playing is [tex]f = 126 \ Hz[/tex]

    The speed of sound is [tex]v = 343 \ m/s[/tex]

Generally the wavelength of the tune playing is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\lambda = \frac{v}{f}[/tex]

=>        [tex]\lambda = \frac{343}{ 126}[/tex]

=>        [tex]\lambda = 2.72 \ m[/tex]

Let the observer be at position D

Generally the distance A and  is mathematically  evaluated using  Pythagoras theorem as

       [tex]AC = \sqrt{AB ^2 + BC^2}[/tex]

Let BC = e

So  

       [tex]AC = \sqrt{6.60 ^2 + e^2}[/tex]

Generally the path difference between the first and the second speaker from the observer point of view is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P = AC - BC[/tex]

=>     [tex]P = \sqrt{6.60 ^2 + e^2} - e[/tex]

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

            [tex]P = (2n - 1 )\frac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]

Here n is the order of the fringe which is  one

=>        [tex]\sqrt{6.60 ^2 + e^2} - e = (2 * 1 - 1 )\frac{2.72}{2}[/tex]

=>        [tex]\sqrt{6.60 ^2 + e^2} - e = 1.36[/tex]

=>        [tex]6.60 ^2 + e^2 =( 1.36 +e)^2[/tex]

=>        [tex]6.60 ^2 + e^2 =1.8496 + 2.72e +e^2[/tex]

=>          [tex]e = 15.33 \ m[/tex]

A 300 g bird flying along at 6.0 m/s sees a 10 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 30 m/s. the bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing?

Answers

Answer:

6.77m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the object

u1 and u2 are the velocities before collision

v is the final collision

Given

m1 = 300g  = 0.3kg

u1 = 6.0m/s

m2 = 10g = 0.01kg

u2 = 30m/s

Required

The bird's speed immediately after swallowing v

Substitute the given values into the formula

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.3(6) + 0.01(30) = (0.3+0.01)v

1.8+0.3 = 0.31v

2.1 = 0.31v

v = 2.1/0.31

v = 6.77m/s

Hence the bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 6.77m/s

It takes 250 N of force to get the couch moving. a) How much does your roommate weigh in Newton’s? b) After you get the couch moving it only takes 200 N to keep it moving at a constant speed, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

Answers

Answer:

a) Weight of Roommate = 481.4 N

b) μk = 0.34

Explanation:

a)

The force required to move the couch must be equal to the force of friction:

F = frictional force

F = μW

W = F/μ

where,

W = Total Weight of Couch and Roommate

F = Force Required start to move couch = 250 N

μ = coefficient of static friction between couch and floor = 0.43

Therefore,

[tex]W = \frac{250 N}{0.43}\\\\W = 581.4 N[/tex]

So, the total weight is given as:

W = Weight of Couch + Weight of Roommate

Weight of Roommate = W - Weight of Couch

Weight of Roommate = 581.4 N - 100 N

Weight of Roommate = 481.4 N

b)

Now, the force required to keep the couch moving can be given as equal to the kinetic friction force:

F = kinetic friction

F = μk*W

μk = F/W

where,

μk = coefficient of kinetic friction = ?

F = Force required to keep the couch moving = 200 N

Therefore,

μk = 200 N/581.4 N

μk = 0.34



identical spheres are dropped from a height of 100 m above the surfaces of Planet X and Planet Y. The speed of the spheres as a function of time is recorded for each planet in the graph
above. Which planet exerts the greater force of gravity on the sphere, and what evidence supports this conclusion?
A Planet X because its line has the greater area under it.
Planet X, because its line has the greater slope
Planet Y. because it falls for the smaller amount of time
Planet Y because the object's final speed is greater

Answers

Answer:

B. Planet X, because its line has the greater slope.

Explanation:

In a speed graph, acceleration is slope. A greater slope means a greater acceleration. According to Newton's 2nd law (F=mg), a greater acceleration means a greater force.

Planet X exerts the greater force of gravity on the sphere, because its line has the greater slope. Hence option B is correct.

What is Gravitational Force ?

Gravitational force is force of attraction between two masses. Gravitational force(F) between two bodies is directly proportion to the product of masses(m₁,m₂) of two bodies and inversely proportional to square of distance(r) between them. mathematically it is written as,

F ∝ m₁.m₂

F ∝ 1/r²

F = G m₁,m₂÷r²

where G is gravitational constant, whose value is 6.6743 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg-1s⁻².

Force is expressed in Newton N in SI unit. its dimensions are [M¹L¹T⁻²].

This is analogous with coulomb's law which gives force between two charges.

if a planet has greater gravitational force(force of gravity), then body falls with greater speed as compare to other planet which is having less force of gravity. we can see in case of planet X there is greater speed as compare to plane Y in short time. Hence option B is correct.

He spent the majority of the seasons stored safely under the stairs in a storage bin, but during winter he was carefully removed from the bubble wrap and placed lovingly on the mantle for display. He loved to see the family put up the tree and fill it with all of the colorful ornaments that were tucked in beside him in the bin during the year. When the family was done decorating, Frosty gazed out at a room filled with garland and lights and listened to the children humming along to Christmas carols. The love in the room was undeniable. Its important to know, however, that life in a snowglobe was not all roses! The children absolutely loved to clink on the glass with their nails, pick Frosty up, and shake him like a rattle until the snowflakes attacked him from every angle. Eventually, the blizzard would die down, but there was a deafening silence as Frosty waited for another person to pick him up to give him another shake! His favorite part of being on the mantle was seeing the children open their gifts on Christmas morning.

Wilson's "The Environmental Ethic."Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but alsopollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth ormore of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020unless better efforts are made to save them.... As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like thePhilippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinctionrates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot bebalanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.What message does the author convey in this excerpt?
