A very smart 3-year-old child is given a wagon for her birthday. She refuses to use it. "After all," she says, "Newton's third l

aw says that no matter how hard I pull, the wagon will exert an equal but opposite force on me. So I will never be able to get it to move forward." What would you say to her in reply?

Answer:

Explanation:

She's correct but doesn't mean the wagon cannot put into motion. The force that she applied on the wagon, according to Newton's 2nd law, would have generated an acceleration, which translates into motion. The reaction force the wagon applies on her due to Newton's 3rd law, would not hinder its own motion.

You are designing a 108 cm3 right circular cylindrical can whose manufacture will take waste into account. There is no waste in
FinnZ [79.3K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The volume of a right circular cylindrical, V=108\ cm^3

We know that the volume of the cylinder is given by :

V=\pi r^2 h

108=\pi r^2 h    

h=\dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}............(1)

The upper area is given by :

A=32r^2+2\pi rh

A=32r^2+2\pi r\times \dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}

A=32r^2+\dfrac{216}{r}

For maximum area, differentiate above equation wrt r such that, we get :

\dfrac{dA}{dr}=64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}

64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}=0

r^3=\dfrac{216}{64}

r = 1.83 m

Dividing equation (1) with r such that,

\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi r}

\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi 1.83}

\dfrac{h}{r}=59 \pi

Hence, this is the required solution.

light of a certain frequency has a wavelength of 438 nm in water.What is the wavelength of this light in benzene​
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

388.97 nm

Explanation:

The computation of the wavelength of this light in benzene is shown below:

As we know that

n (water) = 1.333

n (benzene) = 1.501

\lambda (water) \times n(water) = \lambda (benzene) \times n(benzene)

And, the wavelength of water is 438 nm

\lambda (benzene) = \lambda (water) [\frac{n(water)}{n(benzene}]

Now placing these values to the above formula

So,

= 438 \times \frac{1.333}{1.501}

= 388.97 nm

We simply applied the above formula so that we can easily determine the wavelength of this light in benzene​ could come

A 57 kg pole vaulter running at 11 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.1 m/s. The acceleration of
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Her altitude as she crosses the bar, h₂ is approximately 6.1 m

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the pole vaulter are;

The mass of the pole vaulter, m = 57 kg

The speed with which the pole vaulter is running, u = 11 m/s

The speed of the pole vaulter when she crosses the bar, v = 1.1 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

From the total mechanical energy, M.E. equation, we have;

M.E. = P.E. + K.E.

Where;

P.E. = The potential energy of the motion = m·g·h

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the motion = 1/2·m·v²

By the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

The change (loss) in kinetic energy, ΔK.E. = The change (gain) in potential energy, ΔP.E.

ΔK.E. = 1/2·m·(v² - u²)

ΔP.E. = m·g·(h₂ - h₁)

Where;

h₁ = The ground level = 0 m

h₂ = The altitude with which she crosses the bar

∴ 1/2·m·(v² - u²) = m·g·(h₂ - h₁)

(h₂ - h₁) = (v² - u²)/(2·g) = (11² - 1.1²)/(2·9.8) = 6.11173469388

h₂ = 6.11173469388 + h₁ = 6.11173469388 + 0 = 6.11173469388

h₂ = 6.11173469388

Her altitude as she crosses over the bar, h₂ ≈ 6.1 m.
