The graph above shows the position x as a function of time for the center of mass of a system of particles of total mass 6. 0 kg

. For a very short time interval around 2. 0 s, an external force is exerted on an object in the system. What is the resulting change in momentum of the system?.

The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass =6.0 kg

t is the time interval=2 second

From Newton's second law;

$\rm \triangle P =m \triangle V \\\\ \triangle P= m(\frac{\triangle x}{\triangle t} )\\\\$

From the graph;

$\rm \triangle t = 2sec\\\\ \triangle x = (12-8) m$

The change in the momentum is;

$\rm \triangle P = m\tr(\frac{v-u}{t}) \\\\ \triangle P =9.3 \times \frac{12-8}{2} \\\\ \triangle P= +18.6 \ N.s$

Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.6 m/s in 4.6 s. How far does the car travel in that time?

uysha [10]

Answer:

The car will travel a distance of 17.45 meters.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity $(V_i)$ = 0

Final velocity $(V_f)$ = 7.6 m/s

Time taken = 4.6 s

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial Velocity )/time

$a=\frac{(V_f-Vi)}{t}= \frac{7.6-0}{4.6}=1.65\ ms^-2$

We have to calculate total distance traveled by the car.

Let the distance traveled be 'd'

Equation of motion:

$d=V_i(t)+\frac{at^2}{2}$

Plugging the values.

⇒ $d=V_i(t)+\frac{at^2}{2}$

⇒ $d=0+\frac{1.65*(4.6)^2}{2}$

⇒ $d=17.45\ m$

The car will travel a distance of 17.45 meters for the above case.

Using the conversion factor from eV (electron volts) to joules, determine which energy line for an electron dropping from one en

Tom [10]

Explanation:

Wavelength in an emission spectrum, $\lambda=435\ nm=435\times 10^{-9}\ m$

The energy of an electron is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

For 435 nm, the energy of the electron will be :

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8\ m/s}{435\times 10^{-9}}$

$E=4.57\times 10^{-19}\ J$

We know that $1\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J$

So, $E=\dfrac{4.57\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

So, E = 2.86 eV

The energy of the electron dropping from one energy level is 2.86 eV. We know that,

$\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=E_{n_2}-E_{n_1}$

From the given energy levels :

$E_5-E_2=-0.544-(-3.403)$

$E_5-E_2=2.859\ eV$

So, the transition must be from E₅ to E₂. Hence, this is the required solution.

If in the experiment, m1 is 38 g, m2 is 63 g, and m3 is 58 g, "and m3 remains static, what is the tension in the string connecti

melomori [17]

Let's call a the acceleration of the system. The problem says that the block m3 is static, so the acceleration is zero: a=0.
Calling $T_1$ the tension of the string between m1 and m3, and $T_2$ the tension of the string between m2 and m3, the problem can be solved by writing the following system of equations:
$m_1 g-T_1=m1_a$
$T_1-T_2=m_3 a$
$T_2-m_2g=m_2a$
However, we know that a=0 and the problem asks only for $T_1$ , so we just need to solve the first equation:
$m_1 g -T_1 =0$
and so
$T_1=m_1g=0.038~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2 = 0.37~N$

When nuclear fission occurs _____.

Burka [1]

In case of nuclear fission, the heavier nucleus captures the neutron and splits themselves into daughter nucleus or small fragments. The sum of mass of the fragments is less than the original mass. The missing mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence relation.

What other theory does the author compare to the Big Bang to?

sveta [45]

Answer:

The two Russian authors based their exposition on what they called the Friedmann theory of a singular beginning of the universe, referring throughout to the “theory of the hot universe” as an alternative to the hot Big Bang theory.
