At the county fair, Chris throws a 0.12kg baseball at a 2.4kg wooden milk bottle, hoping to knock it off its stand and win a pri

ze. The ball bounces straight back at 30% of its incoming speed, knocking the bottle straight forward.What is the bottle's speed, as a percentage of the ball's incoming speed?Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

$6.5\%\ of\ u_1$

Explanation:

$m_{1}$ = Mass of ball = 0.12 kg

tex]m_{2}[/tex] = Mass of bottle = 2.4 kg

$u_{1}$ = Initial velocity of ball

$u_{2}$ = Initial velocity of bottle

$v_{1}$ = Final velocity of ball = $-0.3u_{1}$

$v_{2}$ = Final velocity of bottle

As linear momentum is conserved

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow 0.12u_{1}+2.4\times 0=-0.12(0.3u_{1})+2.4v_{2}\\\Rightarrow 0.156u_1=2.4v_2\\\Rightarrow \frac{v_2}{u_1}=0.065\\\Rightarrow v_2=0.065\times 100\times u_1\\\Rightarrow v_2=6.5\%\ of\ u_1$

The bottle's speed is $6.5\%\ of\ u_1$

You are standing on top of the Empire State Building (height 330 [m]) when Superman flies past. He is headed straight down with

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The ball will be overtake superman after travelled distance 248.5 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of superman = 35 m/s

Height = 330 m

Mass of ball = 10 kg

Let the height at which they are at same position be S.

For superman,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$S=ut$ ...(I)

For ball,

$S=u't+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

From equation (I) and (II)

$ut=u't+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$ut=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times g\times t^2$

$u=\dfrac{1}{2}\times g\times t$

$t=\dfrac{2u}{g}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{2\times35}{9.8}$

$t=7.1\ sec$

We need to calculate the distance travelled

Using formula of distance

$d=v\times t$

Put the value into the formula

$d=35\times 7.1$

$d=248.5\ m$

Hence, The ball will be overtake superman after travelled distance 248.5 m.

An extremely long thin wire carries a uniform linear charge density of 358 nC/m. Find the potential difference between points 5.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

1.2kV

Explanation:

We are given that

Linear charge density, $\lambda=358nC/m=358\times 10^{-9} C/m$

$1 nC=10^{-9} C$

$r_1=5 m$

$r_2=6 m$

We have to find the potential difference between poinst 5.0 m and 6.0 m from the wire.

We know that potential difference of wire

$V=2k\lambda ln\frac{r_2}{r_1}$

Where

$k=9\times 10^9$

Substitute the values

$V=2\times 9\times 10^9\times 358\times 10^{-9}ln\frac{6}{5}$

$V=1174.8 V$

$V=1.17 kV\approx 1.2 kV$

1kV=1000 V

A 111 kg 111 kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.67 m 1.67 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

287.19 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given that :

The mass M of the horizontal platform = 111 kg

The radius R of the uniform disk = 1.67 m

mass of the person standing $m_p$ = 64.7 kg

distance of the person standing $d_p$ = 1.15 m

mass of the dog $m_d$ = 25.7 kg

distance of the dog $d_d$ = 1.35 m

Considering the moment of inertia of the object in the system; the net moment of the inertia can be expressed as:

= $\frac{MR^2}{2}+m_pd_p^2+m_dd_d^2$

= $(\frac{111*1.67^2}{2})+ (64.7 *1.15^2)+ (25.7*1.35^2)$

= 287.19 kg.m²

Imagine you are nearsighted. In order to correct your vision, you need glasses with a converging / diverging lens. Explain your

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Diverging lens

Explanation:

A nearsighted person is a person who can not see the objects which are far away at infinity since the image is formed in front of the retina of the faraway objects. Therefore, a diverging lens is prescribed which can diverge the image to form the image at the retina.

Therefore, we need a diverging lens to correct the vision of nearsighted.
