Answer:

But there are ways to harness kinetic energy to either generate useful mechanical work or electricity. This is what many have tried to do to make use of energy that would be otherwise wasted. One way to harness kinetic energy that has popped up many times in recent years has to do with roads and speed bumps

A 1.20 kg water balloon will break if it experiences more than 530 N of force. Your 'friend' whips the water balloon toward you

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

t = 0.029s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the interaction time at the moment of catching the ball, you take into account that the force exerted on an object is also given by the change, on time, of its linear momentum:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ (1)

m: mass of the water balloon = 1.20kg

Δv: change in the speed of the balloon = v2 - v1

v2: final speed = 0m/s (the balloon stops in my hands)

v1: initial speed = 13.0m/s

Δt: interaction time = ?

The water balloon brakes if the force is more than 530N. You solve the equation (1) for Δt and replace the values of the other parameters:

$|F|=|530N|= |m\frac{v_2-v_1}{\Delta t}|\\\\|530N|=| (1.20kg)\frac{0m/s-13.0m/s}{\Delta t}|\\\\\Delta t=0.029s$

The interaction time to avoid that the water balloon breaks is 0.029s

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th

Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3$

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3$

Now, in 3 balls of tennis, the combined volume will be 3 times the above one, this is:

$3*V = 3*164.5cm^3 = 493.7 cm^3$

Select the correct term to complete each sentence. If you the wavelength, the electromagnetic radiation energy will double. The

Andrews [41]

Answer:

A) If you halve the wavelength, the electromagnetic radiation energy will double.

B) The energy of the electromagnetic radiation will halve if you halve the wavenumber.

C) When the frequency of the light is doubled, its energy will double.

Explanation:

The function for the light frequency is given as

The energy supplied to each electron is doubled by halving the wavelength, nearly doubling its kinetic energy by two after it is free from the metal. It is important to remember that for a given period of time, the number of electrons ejected will remain constant.

A seagull flying horizontally over the ocean at a constant speed of 2.60 m/s carries a small fish in its mouth. It accidentally

Ivenika [448]

(a) +2.60 m/s

The motion of the fish dropped by the seagul is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- a horizontal uniform motion, at constant speed

- a vertical motion, at constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity, $g=-9.8 m/s^2$ , downward)

In this part we are only interested in the horizontal motion. As we said the horizontal component of the fish's velocity does not change, therefore its value when the fish reaches the ocean is equal to its initial value, which is the speed at which the seagull was flying (because it was flying horizontally):

$v_x = +2.60 m/s$

(b) -17.2 m/s

The vertical component of the fish's velocity instead follows the equation:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity, which is zero

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Since the fish reaches the ocean at t = 1.75 s, we can substitute this time into the formula to find the final vertical velocity:

$v_y = 0+(-9.8)(1.75)=-17.2 m/s$

where the negative sign indicates the direction (downward).

(c)

The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase

The vertical component of the fish's velocity would stay the same.

As we said from part (a) and (b):

- The horizontal component of the fish's velocity is constant during the motion and it is equal to the initial velocity of the seagull -> so if the seagull's initial speed increases, the horizontal velocity of the fish will increase too

- The vertical component of the fish's velocity does not depend on the original speed of the seagull, therefore it is not affected.
