Imagine that the ball on the left is given a nonzero initial velocity in the horizontal direction, while the ball on the right c

ontinues to fall with zero initial velocity. What horizontal speed vx must the ball on the left start with so that it hits the ground at the same position as the ball on the right? Express your answer in meters per second to two significant figures.

Answer:

vₓ = xg/2y

Explanation:

In this question, let us  find the time it takes for the ball on the right that has zero initial velocity to reach the ground.

By newton equation of motion we know that

y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

t = 2y / g

This is the time it takes for the ball on the right to reach the ground; at this time the ball on the left travels a distance

vₓ = x/t

vₓ = xg/2y

vₓ = xg/2y

Where we assume that x and y are known.

Two long, straight parallel wires 8.2 cm apart carry currents of equal magnitude I. The parallel wires repel each other with a f
o-na [289]

Answer:

36.22 mA

Explanation:

i1 = I , i2 = I, d = 8.2 cm = 0.082 m

Force per unit length = 3.2 nN/m = 3.2 x 10^-9 N/m

μo = 4 π × 10^-7 Tm/A

The formula for the force per unit length between the two wires is given by

F = μo / 4π x (2 i1 x i2) / d

3.2 x 10^-9 = 10^-7 x 2 x I^2 / 0.082

I = 0.0362 A = 36.22 mA

Ana wonders how light can affect a mystery material. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the my
vivado [14]

The light can definitely change the mystery material. This can occur through a change in temperature or color (option C).

A material is affected by light mainly if the material absorbs the light. Based on the chart, we know this mystery material can absorb two types of light:

  • Red light.
  • Yellow light.

Moreover, this phenomenon can lead to two main changes:

  • Change in temperature: Light affects materials by increasing their temperature of these. A common example is the way the temperature of an object increases if it is exposed to sunlight.
  • Change in color: Some materials react to light by changing their color.

Based on this, the material can change its color or temperature.

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing part:

A. Yes, but the mystery material can change in only one way, such as by getting warm, because all the light that a material absorbs will affect that material in the same way.

B. No. The mystery material can’t change because the light is not a physical thing. Light cannot change physical things like the mystery material.

C. Yes and the mystery material can change in one or two different ways, such as by getting warm and/or changing color, because different types of light can cause different changes to a material when they are absorbed.

D. There is no way to know whether the mystery material will change or not.
