<span>they burn because the speed the air in front of it gets compressed so much that it becomes extremely hot

Suppose you drop a superball of massMand a marble of mass m(both treated as point masses) from a heighthwith the marble just on
mina [271]

Answer:

 h '= [ ( \frac{ M-m}{M +m  } )+ 2 (\frac{M}{M+m})]²  h

Explanation:

Let's analyze this problem, first the two bodies travel together, second the superball bounces, third it collides with the marble and fourth the marble rises to a height h ’

let's start by finding the velocity of the two bodies just before the collision, let's use the concepts of energy

starting point. Starting point

         Em₀ = U = m g h

final point. Just before the crash

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

as there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         mg h = ½ m v²

         v = √2gh

this speed is the same for the two bodies.

Second point. The superball collides with the ground, this process is very fast, so we will assume that the marble has not collided, let's use the concept of conservation of moment

initial instant. Just when the superball starts contacting the ground

      p₀ = M v

this velocity is negative because it points down

final instant. Just as the superball comes up from the floor

      p_f = M v '

the other body does not move

      p₀ = p_f

     - m v = M v '

       v ’= -v

Therefore, the speed of the asuperbola is the same speed with which it arrived, but in the opposite direction, that is, upwards.

Let's use the subscript 1 for the marble and the subscript 2 for the superball

Third part. The superball and the marble collide

the system is formed by the two bodies, so that the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Moment of shock

        p₀ = M v_{1'}+ m v_2

final instant. When the marble shoots out.

        P_f = Mv_{1f'}+ m v_{2f}

        p₀ = p_

        M v_{1'}+ m v_2 = M v_{1f'} + m v_{2f}

        M (v_{1'} - v_{1f'}) = -m (v_2 - v_{2f})

in this expression we look for the exit velocity of the marble (v2f), as they indicate that the collision is elastic the kinetic nerve is also conserved

       K₀ = K_f

       ½ M v_{1'}² + m v₂² = M v_{1f'}²  + ½ m v_{2f}²

        M (v_{1'}² - v_{1f'}²) = - m (v₂² - v_{2f}²)

Let's set the relation  (a + b) (a-b) = a² - b²

      M (v_{1'} + v_{1f'})  (v_{1'} - v_{1f'}) = -m (v₂ + v_{2f}) (v₂ - v_{2f})

let's write our two equations

           M ( v_{1'} - v_{1f'}) = -m (v₂ - v_{2f})                 (1)

           M (v_{1'} + v_{1f'})  (v_{1'} - v_{1f'}) = -m (v₂ + v_{2f}) (v₂ - v_{2f})

       

if we divide these two expressions

           (v_{1'}+ v_{1f'}) = (v₂ + v_{2f} )

we substitute this result in equation 1 and solve

          v_{1f'}= (v₂ + v_{2f}) - v_{1'}

          M (v_{1'} - [(v₂ + v_{2f}) - v_{1'}] = -m (v₂ - v_{2f})

           -M v₂ - M v_{2f1'} + 2M v_{1'} = m v₂ - m v_{2f}

          -M v_{2f} -m v_{2f} = m v₂ -M v₂ + 2M v_{1'}

          v_{2f} (M + m) = - v₂ (M-m) + 2 M v_{1'}

           

          v_{2f} = - ( \frac{ M-m}{M +m  } )) v₂ + 2 (\frac{M}{M+m}) v_{1'}

now we can substitute the velocity values ​​found in the first two parts

          v_{2f} = - ( \frac{ M-m}{M +m  } ) √2gh + 2(\frac{M}{M+m}) √2gh

we simplify

          v_{2f} = [( \frac{ M-m}{M +m  } ) + 2 (\frac{M}{M+m})] \sqrt{2gh}

let's call the quantity in brackets that only depends on the masses

          A = ( \frac{ M-m}{M +m  } )+ 2 (\frac{M}{M+m})]

           

           v_{2f}= A \sqrt{2gh}

in general, the marble is much lighter than the superball, so its speed is much higher than the speed of the superball

finally with the conservation of energy we find the height that the marble reaches

       

Starting point

          Emo = K = ½ mv_{2f}²

Final point

          Emf = U = m g h'

          Em₀ = Em_f

          ½ m v_{2f}² = m g h ’

          h ’= ½ v_{2f}² / g

         h ’= ½ (A \sqrt{2gh})² / g

         h ’= A² h

         

         h '= [ ( \frac{ M-m}{M +m  } )+ 2 (\frac{M}{M+m})]²  h

A 75 A resistor in a circuit has a current flowing through it of 2.0 A. What is
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The power dissipated by the resistor can be calculated as P = I^{2} R .

Explanation:

  • Joules heating law states that any conductor passed with the electric current produces heating effect which is the electric power loss.
  • The given circuit has, R = 75 ohm resistor (the unit is wrong i question because resistor's unit is ohm not Ampere).
  • Current flowing through the circuit is I = 2.0 A.
  • By using joules heating theory, P = I^{2} R,

                  or,   P = 2^{2} * 75

                  or,   P= 4*75

                 or,  P= 300 W.

  • So the power dissipated by the resistor in the circuit is 300 W.

The​ half-life of a certain radioactive substance is 12 hours. There are 19 grams present initially. a. Express the amount of su
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

(a) N=19\times e^{-\lambda t}

(b) 15 hours

Explanation:

half life, T = 12 hours

No = 19 g

(a) Let N be the amount remaining after time t.

Let λ be the decay constant.

\lambda =\frac {0.6931}{T}

The equation of radioactivity used here is given by

N=N_{o}e^{-\lambda t}

N=19\times e^{-\lambda t}

(b) N = 8 gram

Substitute the values in above equation

\lambda =\frac {0.6931}{12}

λ = 0.0577 per hour

So, 8=19\times e^{-0.577t}

e^{-0.0577t}=0.421

Take natural log on both the sides

- 0.0577 t = - 0.865

t = 15 hours

In gas chromatography, what are the advantages of (a) temperature programming? (check all that apply.)
TiliK225 [7]
The following statements apply:
1. Resolution of low boiling solutes is maintained.
2. Retention times of high boiling solutes are decreased.
Temperature programming refers to the process of increasing the temperature of gas chromatography column as a function of time. Temperature programming is usually applied to samples which contain a mixture of components whose boiling points are within narrow ranges
