Answer:

No because a pot plant system must interact with its surroundings (air, water, etc) and these are not closed systems.

Only if the pot plant were completely enclosed, say in a large glass jar would the system be closed.

A rifle with a weight of 25 N fires a 4.5-g bullet with a speed of 240 m/s. (a) Find the recoil speed of the rifle. m/s (b) If a

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The recoil speed of the man and rifle is $v_{man}=0.016 ms^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

The expression for the force in terms of mg is as follows;

F=mg

Here, m is the mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Rearrange the expression for mass.

$m=\frac{F}{g}$

Calculate the combined mass of the man and rifle.

$m_{man,rifle}=\frac{650+25}{g}$

Put $g=9.8 ms^{-2}$ .

$m_{man,rifle}=\frac{650+25}{9.8}$

$m_{man,rifle}=68.88 kg$

The expression for the conservation of momentum is as follows as;

$m_{man}u_{man}+m_{bullet}u_{bullet}=m_{man}v_{man}+m_{rifle}v_{man,rifle}$

Here, $m_{man,rifle}$ is the mass of the man and rifle, $m_{rifle}$ is the mass of the rifle, $u_{man},u{bullet}$ are the initial velocities of the man and bullet and $v_{man},v{man,rifle}$ are the final velocities of the man and rifle and rifle.

It is given in the problem that a rifle with a weight of 25 N fires a 4.5-g bullet with a speed of 240 m/s.

Convert mass of rifle from gram to kilogram.

$m_{bullet}=4.5 g$

$m_{bullet}=.0045 kg$

Put $m_{bullet}=.0045 kg$ , $m_{man,rifle}=68.88 kg$ , $u_{man,rifle}=0$ , $v_{bullet}= 240 ms^{-1}$ and $u_{bullet}=0$ .

$m_{man}(0)+m_{bullet}(0)=(68.88)v_{man,rifle}+(.0045)(240)$

$0=(68.88)v_{man,rifle}+(.0045)(240)$

$0=(68.88)v_{man,rifle}+1.08$

$(68.88)v_{man,rifle}=\frac{-1.08}{68.88}$

$v_{man,rifle}=-0.016 ms^{-1}$

Therefore, the recoil speed of the man and rifle is $v_{man}=0.016 ms^{-1}$ .

A charged particle having mass 6.64 x 10-27 kg (that of a helium atom) moving at 8.70 x 105 m/s perpendicular to a 1.30-T magnet

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

the charge of the particle is 2.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the particle, m = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

velocity of the particle, v = 8.7 x 10⁵ m/s

strength of the magnetic field, B = 1.3 T

radius of the circle, r = 18 mm = 1.8 x 10⁻³ m

The magnetic force experienced by the charge is calculated as;

F = ma = qvB

where;

q is the charge of the particle

a is the acceleration of the charge in the circular path

$a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\ma = qvB\\\\q = \frac{ma}{vB} \\\\q = \frac{mv^2}{rvB} = \frac{mv}{rB} \\\\q = \frac{(6.64\times 10^{-27} ) \times (8.7\times 10^5)}{(1.8\times 10^{-2}) \times (1.3)} \\\\q = 2.47 \ \times 10^{-19} \ C$

Therefore, the charge of the particle is 2.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more calm with fewer disturbances or storms.

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is highly violent and thinner as compared with Saturn.

The layers of atmosphere on Saturn is thicker because of lower gravity of Saturn and hence they are calmer.
