Students perform an experiment in which they drop two eggs with equal mass from a balcony. In the first trial, the egg hits the

shepuryov [24]

<u> Answer </u>

The impulse on the second trial is smaller is smaller than in the first trial.

<u>Explanation </u>

Impose of a body is that change in momentum during a time interval. If the change of momentum takes longer then, the impulse of a force is less. I a moving object hits a hard surface the rate of change of momentum is very high. e.i in the first trial, the egg breaks because it hits the hard surface(ground).

In the second trial, the foam cushion absorbs the shock and prolongs the time of impact with the egg hence decreasing the impulse.

A car of mass m, traveling at constant speed, rides over the top of a round hill. How do the normal force of the road on the car

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The normal force will be lower than the gravitational force acting on the car. Therefore the answer is N < mg, which is <em>option B</em>.

Explanation:

Over a round hill, the centripetal force acting toward the the radius of the hill supports the gravitational force (mg) of the car. This notion can be expressed mathematically as follows:

At the top of a round hill

$Normal force = Gravitational force - centripetal force$

At the foot of a round hill

$Normal Force = centripetal force + Gravitational force$

Two identical bullets are used. Both are released at the same height - one fired out of a gun, the other is dropped. Ignoring ai

irina [24]

Answer:

Both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Let's only analyze the vertical problem.

Any object that is not in the floor or resting in some site is being affected by the gravitational force (remember that we are ignoring air resistance)

Then the acceleration of this object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration:

a = -9.8m/s^2

Where the minus sign is because this acceleration goes down.

To get the velocity equation we need to integrate over time, we will get:

v(t) = ( -9.8m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial vertical velocity.

To get the position equation we need to integrate over time again, we will get:

p(t) = (1/2)*( -9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H

Where H is the initial height.

p(t) = (-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H

The object will hit the ground when p(t) = 0

Then we need to solve for t the next equation:

(-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H = 0

Notice that the only things we need to know are:

H = initial height (we know that is the same for both bullets)

v0 = initial vertical velocity (also is the same for both bullets)

Notice that the horizontal velocity does not affect this equation, then we will get the same value of t for the dropped bullet and for the fired bullet.

This means that both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

A positive charge moving up enters a magnetic field pointing out of the screen. What is the direction of the magnetic force on t

erma4kov [3.2K]

According to the right-hand thumb rule, the forefinger gives the velocity of charge, the thumb gives the magnetic force and the center finger gives the direction of magnetic field.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Explanation:Let me tell you the logic you need for this: If the boy hears an echo, this means ... 100 m from a tall building claps his hands and hears an echo 0.6 seconds later. ... you can find the rate of travel (meters travelled per second) dividing the total ... the speed of sound in a hypothetical silent craft
