Why does a can collapse when a vacuum pump removes air from the can?

1 answer:

7 0

When a vacuum pump removes the air within the can, there is no more air molecules bombarding the inner surface of the can. Since the inner pressure=0, the atmospheric pressure will crush the can. Atmosoheric pressure is usually =1.3*10^5Pa.

A 0.25 kg steel ball is tied to the end of a string and then whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed v. The length of t

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the tension in the string be T . At the top of the circle , total force acting on them = T + mg . This will provide centripetal force

T + mg = m v² / r

4 + .25 x 9.8 = .25 x v² / .62

6.45 = .25 v² / .62

v² = 16

v = 4 m /s .

In a closed system, a cart with a mass of 1.5 kg is rolling to the right at 1.4 m/s, while another cart of mass 1.0 kg is rollin

bija089 [108]

Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

$P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s$

$P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s$

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum = $P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s$

Hence, the correct option is (c.).
