C) total linear momentum of the ball and cannon is conserved.

Basically it happens that in the beginning before there is a momentum acting on the two bodies, these are a unique system. Here the total momentum of the System is 0. However, when the positive momentum of the cannonball is added, the system will be immediately affected by a negative momentum which will pull back the cannon. Could this be extrapolated as a condition of Newton's third law.

Whats it called when a force can change the shape of an object?

alekssr [168]

Force applied causes deformation in the object. It changes the relative positions of constituent particles in the crystal lattice.
As soon as that happens, the interatomic or intermolecular forces come into play and they, tend to restore the solid back to it's original shape.

This restoring force per unit area is called Stress . When external forces are removed, the internal forces tend to restore the solid back.
This property is called Elasticity .

However, no material is perfectly elastic and what happens is that, the body is not able to restore itself completely.

In a compression wave, particles in the medium move

MissTica

<span>The particles through which compressional waves travel move in the same direction as the wave. This may be observed by fixing one end of a large spring and then compressing and extending the other end. The wave travels from one end to the other and the spring's parts move in the same direction.</span>

Two long parallel wires are separated by forty centimeters and carry oppositely-directed currents of ten amperes. Find the magni

Softa [21]

Answer:

1.04μT

Explanation:

Due to both wires have opposite currents, the magnitude of the total magnetic field is given by

$B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_1}-\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_2}$

I: electric current = 10A

mu_o: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4pi*10^{-7} N/A^2

r1: distance from wire 1 to the point in which B is measured.

r2: distance from wire 2.

The distance between wires is 40cm = 0.4m. Hence, r1=0.2m r2=0.6m

By replacing in the formula you obtain:

$B_T=\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}N/A^2)(10A)}{2\pi}(\frac{1}{0.4m}-\frac{1}{0.6m})=1.04*10^{-6}T =1.04\mu T$

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.04μT

A bimetallic strip (brass/steel), which is straight at room temperature, will be immersed in boiling water and allowed to equili

lakkis [162]

The thermal expansion of the materials allows to find the deflection of the bimetallist strip is Δy = 3.48 cm

given paramers

* Bimetallic brass / steel tape

* Initial temperature, room temperature T = 20ºC

* Final temperature, boiling water = 100ºC

* initial length L₀ = 222mm (1cm / 10mm) = 22.2cm

* thickness of bimetallic tape e = 0.036 inch (2.54 cm/1 inch) = 0.0914 cm

to find

* perpendicular deviation or deflection (Δy)

Thermal expansion is the phenomenon of change in the length of a body due to the change in temperature, due to the increase in the length of the atomic and molecular bonds, macroscopically it is described by

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

ΔL and ΔT are the variation of the length and temperature respectively, L₀ is the initial length and α the coefficient of expansion ends.

In this case we have a strip formed by two materials with different coefficient of thermal expansion,

Brass α_{brass} = 19 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹

Steel α_{steel} = 11 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹

In the attached we can see a diagram of the process, as the temperature increases, the material with greater thermal expansion lengthens more, so the system must curve towards the center of the material with less

thermal expansion. Let's find the length of the strip for each material

brass L_{f brass} - L₀ = α_{brass} L₀ ΔT

Steel L_{f steel} - L₀ = \alpha_{steel} L₀ ΔT

Note that the initial length is the same for the two materials and that the strip is in thermal equilibrium at room temperature.

If we assume that we have an arc of circumference, we can write the length of the arc

θ = L / r

where θ is the angle in radines, L the length of the arc and r the radius of curvature, let's write this equation for each material

brass L_{f \ brass} =θ r₁

steel L_{f \ steel} = θ r₂

we substitute in our equations

θ r₁ - L₀ = α_{brass} L₀ ΔT

θ r₂ - L₀ = α_{steel} L₀ ΔT

let's subtract the two equations

θ (r₁- r₂) = L₀ ΔT (α_{brass} - α_{steel})

the thickness of the strip is

e = r₁ -r₂

θ = $Lo \ \Delta T \ \frac{\alpha_{brass} - \alpha_{steel}}{e}$

we calculate

θ = $22.2 \ (100-20) \ \frac{(19-11) \ 10^{-6}}{0.0914}$

θ = 0.155 rad

Let's use trigonometry to find the perpendicular deflection

tan θ = Δy / L₀

Δy = L₀ tan θ

Δy = 22.2 tan 0.155

Δy = 3.48 cm

Using the thematic expansion of the two materials we find the deflection of the bimetallist strip is 3.38 cm
