on to predict the path of an arrow he was about to shoot. His prediction was way off. Why? A) Scientific laws can only be applied to lab experiments. Eliminate B) Scientific laws are NOT valid for some common objects. C) Scientific laws can only be applied when objects are at rest. D) Scientific laws do not account for unseen variations, like wind.

D) Scientific laws do not account for unseen variations, like wind

Explanation:

Will model in predicting the path of an arrow he was about to shoot failed because scientific laws most times do not account for unseen variations like wind.

Scientific laws are the description of an observed phenomenon in nature.

Most scientific laws have exceptions.
Exceptions in scientific laws are conditions in which the law will not hold true.
There are exceptions to newton's law of motion which Will did not take into account.

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Twopieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular to

loris [4]

Answer:

V = 13m/s

North-East (i.e. 45 degree from North)

Explanation:

This question deals with the idea of momentum.

Since the directions of a compass are fixed, we can take south as horizontal and west as vertical. Since both pieces of coconut are of equal mass, then the resultant of the two pieces would be in between South and West and the third piece would be opposite this direction and be in the North-East (i.e. 45 degree from North) direction

To find the speed of the third piece, we first find the speed on the two pieces of the coconut in terms of $V_{x}$ (horizontal component of velocity) and $V_{y}$ (vertical component of velocity)

We have

$V_{y}$ = Velocity in South direction = 18m/s

$m_{y}$ = Mass of piece in South direction = m

$V_{x}$ = Velocity in West direction = 18m/s

$m_{x}$ = Mass of piece in West direction = m

$V_{ry}$ = Velocity of Third Piece in North direction = unknown

$V_{rx}$ = Velocity of Third Piece in East direction = unknown

$m$ = Mass of third piece = 2m

$mV_{ry} = m_{y} V_{y} \\ 2mV_{ry} = m18\\ V_{ry} = 9$

$mV_{rx} = m_{x} V_{x} \\ 2mV_{rx} = m18\\ V_{rx} = 9$

Since we now know the horizontal and vertical component of the velocity of the third piece of coconut we find the resultant velocity. Since we know the direction is North-East, we can imagine a right angled triangle with base of 9 and height 9 and the hypotenuse equal to the resultant velocity .

We can simply apply the Pythagoras theorem and find the hypotenuse

$Hypotenuse^{2} = Height^{2} + Base^{2} \\ V_{3}^2 = 9^{2} + 9^{2} \\ V = 12.728 m/s$

V = 13m/s

Determine the weight in newtons of a woman whose weight in pounds is 157. Also, find her mass in slugs and in kilograms. Determi

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Weight of the woman in Newton

$x = 698.6 \ N$

Mass of the woman in slug

$Mass = 4.86 \ slug$

Mass of the woman in kg

$Mass = 16 \ kg$

My weight in Newton

$W = 784 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the woman in pounds is $W = 157 \ lb$

Converting to Newton

1 N = 0.22472 lb

x N = 157

=> $x = \frac{157 * 1}{0.22472}$

=> $x = 698.6 \ N$

Obtaining the mass in slug

$Mass = \frac{W}{g}$

Here $g = 32.2 ft/s^2$

So

$Mass = \frac{157 }{32.2}$

$Mass = 4.86 \ slug$

Obtaining the mass in kilogram

$Mass = \frac{W}{g}$

Here $g = 9.8 \ m/s$

So

$Mass = \frac{157 }{9.8}$

$Mass = 16 \ kg$

Generally weight is mathematically represented as

$W = m * g$

Given that my mass is 80 kg then my weight is

$W = 80 *9.8$

$W = 784 \ N$
