Discuss how the hardness or softness of the landing surface is related to the time required to stop the egg

Physics

Answer

To understand this concept it is necessary to understand Newton's Second Law

According to Newtons Second law applied force is equal to rate of change of momentum of a body.

Mathematically,

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

here, \frac{dp}{dt} is rate of change of momentum with respect to time

It means If two eggs fall from same height,one on softer surface and other on hard surface that time the momentum of both eggs will remain equal at both the surfaces. But, impact time will be different. On hard surface egg will stop almost instantly so impact time will be small and hence the force on egg will be large therefore the egg will breakup.

On the other hand on the soft surface like a cotton, egg will not stop instantly but it will slow down for a few seconds and then stop due to which the time of impact will increase. Therefore the force on egg will be less and it won't break up.

Calculate the speed of a car that traveled 200 kilometers in 3 hours.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The units (km/h) tell you how to do this! 200km/3h = 66.66666666…. BUT technically you only have ONE significant digit: 3 so 66.666… rounded to ONE digit is 70km/h but that is probably not important in this intro class so V = 66.67 or 67 km/h

An object is located 50 cm from a converging lens having a focal length of 15 cm. Which of the following is true regarding the i
crimeas [40]

Answer:

It is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.

Explanation:

Let's start by using the lens equation to find the location of the image:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where we have:

q = ? is the distance of the image from the lens

f = 15 cm is the focal length (positive for a converging lens)

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving the equation for q, we find

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{15 cm}-\frac{1}{50 cm}=0.047 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{0.047 cm^{-1}}=+21.3 cm

The sign of q is positive, so the image is real.

Now let's also write the magnification equation:

h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}

where  

h_i, h_o are the size of the image and of the object

By substituting p = 50 cm and q = 21.3 cm, we find

h_i = - h_o \frac{21.3 cm}{50 cm}=-0.43 h_o

So we notice that:

|h_i| < |h_o| : this means that the image is smaller than the object

h_i < 0 : this means that the image is inverted

so, the correct option is:

It is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.
