A T-shirt cannon can shoot a 0.085 kg T-shirt at nearly 30 m/s. The T-shirt cannon has a mass of 33 kg. If the initial net momen

tum is at 0 then what is the velocity of the recoil of the T-shirt cannon?

Answer:

Approximately 0.077\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (assuming that external forces on the cannon are negligible.)

Explanation:

If an object of mass m is moving at a velocity of v, the momentum p of that object would be p = m\, v.

Momentum of the t-shirt:

\begin{aligned} p(\text{t-shirt}) &= m(\text{t-shirt}) \, v(\text{t-shirt}) \\ &= 0.085\; {\rm kg} \times 30\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} \\ &= 2.55 \; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} \end{aligned}.

If there is no external force (gravity, friction, etc.) on this cannon, the total momentum of this system should be conserved. In other words, if p(\text{cannon}) denote the momentum of this cannon:

p(\text{t-shirt}) + p(\text{cannon}) = 0.

p(\text{cannon}) = -p(\text{t-shirt}) = -2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Rewrite p = m\, v to obtain v = (p / m). Since the mass of this cannon is m(\text{cannon}) = 33\; {\rm kg}, the velocity of this cannon would be:

\begin{aligned} v(\text{cannon}) &= \frac{p(\text{cannon})}{m(\text{cannon})} \\ &= \frac{-2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{33\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.077\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Un satélite geoestacionario se encuentra a una distancia de 120.000 km sobre la superficie de Júpiter. Determine: a. El periodo
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet,

b) f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c)                           d)   w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

Explanation:

a) The definition of a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet, that is, its period of revolutions is the same as the period of the planet

  •                T = 10 h (3600 s / 1h) = 3.6 104 s

b) the period the frequency are related

                T = 1 / f

                 f = 1 / T

                 f = 1 / 3.6 104

                 f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c) the distance traveled by the satellite in 1 day

The distance traveled is equal to the length of the circumference

                 d = 2pi (R + r)

                 d = 2pi (69 911 103 + 120 106)

                 d = 1193.24 m

d) the angular velocity is the angle traveled between the time used.

                 .w = 2pi /t

                  w = 2pi / 3.6 10⁴

                  w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

how fast is

                  v = w r

                  v = 1.75 10-4 (69.911 106 + 120 106)

                  v = 190017 m / s

2 H2O2-> 2H20+02
Luden [163]

Answer:

This reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen. Add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. Since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

5,000J

Explanation:

Work = Force x Distance

Distance back and forth is canceled out, so either the answer is + or -

5.0m + 5.0m = 10.0m

500N x 10.0m = 5,000J
