Answer:

As a result, light travels fastest in empty space, and travels slowest in solids. In glass, for example, light travels about 197,000 km/s.

A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a dra

bija089 [108]

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is given by:

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho C_dA}}$

Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration, $C_d$ is the drag coefficient, $\rho$ is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:

$A=\frac{A_s}{2}=\frac{930cm^2}{2}=465cm^2\\465cm^2*\frac{1m^2}{10^4cm^2}=0.0465m^2\\560g*\frac{1kg}{10^3g}=0.56kg$

Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is $1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}$ .

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.56kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}{(1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}(1)(0.0465m^2)}}\\v_t=13.58\frac{m}{s}$

Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:

$v_f^2=v_o^2+2gh\\v_f=\sqrt{2gh}\\v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5m)}\\v_f=9.9\frac{m}{s}$

Which of the following nuclei is most stable based on its binding energy?

Anettt [7]

We have that the most stable nuclei are the ones with the highest average binding energy. We see that Nitrogen has a mass number of 15 and that in this region of the graph average binding energy is low. Silver and Gold are along a line where there is a constant decline in average binding energy; silver has more than gold. However, we see that at the start of this decline, there is Fe 56. This region has the elements with the highest average binding energy; Nickel with a mass number of 58 is right there and thus it is the most stable nucleus out of the listed ones.

A 1.20 kg water balloon will break if it experiences more than 530 N of force. Your 'friend' whips the water balloon toward you

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

t = 0.029s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the interaction time at the moment of catching the ball, you take into account that the force exerted on an object is also given by the change, on time, of its linear momentum:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ (1)

m: mass of the water balloon = 1.20kg

Δv: change in the speed of the balloon = v2 - v1

v2: final speed = 0m/s (the balloon stops in my hands)

v1: initial speed = 13.0m/s

Δt: interaction time = ?

The water balloon brakes if the force is more than 530N. You solve the equation (1) for Δt and replace the values of the other parameters:

$|F|=|530N|= |m\frac{v_2-v_1}{\Delta t}|\\\\|530N|=| (1.20kg)\frac{0m/s-13.0m/s}{\Delta t}|\\\\\Delta t=0.029s$

The interaction time to avoid that the water balloon breaks is 0.029s
