Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved in an inelastic collision. In a completely-inelastic collision, both objects have a common final velocity.  Once the relative speed between the mosquito and the raindrop is zero, the mosquito is able to detach from the drop and escape

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}

Where, \beta=\dfrac{c}{v}

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}

\lambda_{o}=115\ nm

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

Check all of the following statements that describe velocity.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Choices A, B, and C are correct.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

A. It is a vector

Yes. Velocity is a vector, or it's a speed with direction.

B. It is the change in displacement divided by the change in time.

Yes. The velocity can be written as

v = \dfrac{\Delta\bold{x}}{\Delta t}

where \bold{x} is the displacement—a vector quantity.

C. It can be measured in meters per second.

Yes. The units of velocity are m/s, but also with a unit vector indicating the direction.

D. It is the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph.

Nope. The velocity is the slope of displacement vs. time graph.

Hence, only choices A, B, and C are correct.

A ball is kicked from the top of a building with a velocity of 50 m/s and lands 165 m away from the base of the buildi
solniwko [45]

Answer:

32.3 m/s

Explanation:

The ball follows a projectile motion, where:

- The horizontal motion is a uniform motion at costant speed

- The vertical motion is a free fall motion (constant acceleration)

We start by analyzing the horizontal motion. The ball travels horizontally at constant speed of

v_x = 50 m/s

and it covers a distance of

d = 165 m

So, the total time of flight of the ball is

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{165}{50}=3.3 s

In order to find the vertical velocity of the ball, we have now to analyze its vertical motion.

The vertical motion is a free-fall motion, so the ball is falling at constant acceleration; therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v_y = u_y +at

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration  of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 3.3 s (the time of flight), we find the final vertical velocity of the ball:

v=0 + (9.8)(3.3)=32.3 m/s
