You are a crewman on a pirate ship. You are in a battle with the Royal Navy of England. You have loaded your cannon, which is no

t secured to the floor, and now you stand directly behind the cannon as you light the fuse. Explain in physics terms why that would be a VERY stupid move on your part.

Answer:

Conservation of momentum - causes a recoil of cannon frame after launch

Explanation:

- It is simple, we can apply the conservation of momentum on the system. Initial momentum P_i before shooting is zero. Then after you strike the cannon up, the ball will go to the target however for the momentum to be conserved the cannon frame must move backwards with the same momentum with which the cannon ball is launched.

Hence, the recoil of the cannon frame would be large enough to dislodge you off the ground and throw you a few feet back.

Answer: Bohr's model (1913)

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles.

Bohr's model (1913)

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles

  Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

  John Dalton

The idea that everything is made of atoms was pioneered by John Dalton (1766-1844) in a book he published in 1808. He is sometimes called the "father" of atomic theory, but judging from this photo on the right "grandfather" might be a better term.

A rectangular loop of copper wire of resistance r has width a and length
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

b = b₀ cos ω t

When t = 0 , magnetic field will be b₀ and positive or directed into the page . This is the maximum value of magnetic field. As times goes ahead , magnetic field decreases so magnetic flux decreases . The induced emf or current will be such that it will  opposes this reduction of magnetic field. Hence , current in clockwise direction will be  generated in the coil which will generate magnetic flux into the paper.

In this way  current will be induced  clockwise.

The pressure in a traveling sound wave is given by the equation ΔP = (1.78 Pa) sin [ (0.888 m-1)x - (500 s-1)t] Find (a) the pre
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) P_m=1.78\ Pa

b) f=79.5775\ Hz

c) \lambda=7.076\ m

d) v=563.06\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

<u>Given equation of pressure variation:</u>

\Delta P= (1.78\ Pa)\ sin\ [(0.888\ m^{-1})x-(500\ s^{-1})t]

We have the standard equation of periodic oscillations:

\Delta P=P_m\ sin\ (kx-\omega.t)

<em>By comparing, we deduce:</em>

(a)

amplitude:

P_m=1.78\ Pa

(b)

angular frequency:

\omega=2\pi.f

2\pi.f=500

∴Frequency of oscillations:

f=\frac{500}{2\pi}

f=79.5775\ Hz

(c)

wavelength is given by:

\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}

\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{0.888}

\lambda=7.076\ m

(d)

Speed of the wave is gives by:

v=\frac{\omega}{k}

v=\frac{500}{0.888}

v=563.06\ m.s^{-1}

A 234.0 g piece of lead is heated to 86.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 611.0 g of water that initally is at
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:24.70 ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given

mass of lead piece m_l=234 gm\approx 0.234 kg

mass of water in calorimeter m_w=611 gm\approx 0.611 kg

Initial temperature of water T_w=24^{\circ}C

Initial temperature of lead piece T_l=24^{\circ}C

we know heat capacity of lead and water are 125.604 J/kg-k and 4.184 kJ/kg-k respectively

Let us take T ^{\circ}C be the final temperature of the system

Conserving energy

heat lost by lead=heat gained by water

m_lc_l(T_l-T)=m_wc_w(T-T_w)

0.234\times 125.604(86-T)=0.611\times 4.184\times 1000(T-24)

86-T=\frac{0.611\times 4.184\times 1000}{29.391}(T-24)

86-T=86.97T-2087.49

T=\frac{2173.491}{87.97}=24.70^{\circ}C

What is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Photopolymerization is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light

Explanation:

It the process through which a photopolymer reacts to the radiations in presence of the Ultra-violet light. Photopolymers refers to those materials and liquid or the plastic resins that are hardened in presence of light source such as the lasers or the lamps. When these materials are irradiated, they undergo chemical reactions and they are hardened and become solid, and hence the process called photopolymerization. Photopolymerization is majorly used in the coating and printing industries and in also in dentistry to fill the top of teeth and prevent the cavities
