A 65kg person throws a 0.045kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 30m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60kg, catches the

snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.5 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard friction between the skates and the ice.

Answer:

v₁ = 2.48m/s, v₂ = 0.02m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p must be conserved. p = mv

1) First person throwing the snow ball. The momentum before the throw:

p = (65kg + 0.045kg) * 2.5 m/s

The momentum after the throw:

p = 65kg * v₁ + 0.045kg * 30m/s

Solving for the velocity v₁ of person 1:

v₁ = ((65kg + 0.045kg) * 2.5 m/s - 0.045kg * 30m/s) / 65kg = 2.48m/s

2) Second person catching the ball. The momentum before the catch:

p = 0.045kg * 30m/s + 60kg * 0m/s

The momentum after the catch:

p = (60kg + 0.045kg) * v₂

Solving for velocity v₂ of person 2:

v₂ = 0.045kg * 30m/s / (60kg + 0.045kg) = 0.02 m/s

A magnetic field is passing through a loop of wire whose area is 0.020 m2. The direction of the magnetic field is parallel to th
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

a) E = 0.0048 Volts

b)  dA/dt = - 0.002285 m²/s

Explanation:

Given:

Area, A = 0.020 m²

Rate of change of magnetic field, dB/dt = 0.24 T/s

a) The magnitude of the emf induced (E) is given as:

  E= A × (dB/dt)

  on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

E = (0.020 m²) × (0.24 T/s)

or

E = 0.0048 Volts

b) Now, The induced emf when both the area and the magnetic field is varying

we have

E = B(dA/dt) + A(dB/dt)

Now, for the given case induced emf is zero i.e E = 0 and magnetic field B = 2.1 T

thus,

0 = (2.1 T)(dA/dt) + (0.020 m2)(0.24 T/s)

dA/dt = - 0.002285 m²/s

Hence, the area should be decreased at the rate of 0.002285 m²/s

The "lead" in pencils is a graphite composition with a Young’s modulus of about 1×1010N/m21×1010⁢N/m2. Calculate the change in l
Tanya [424]

Answer:

b) 0.1 mm

Explanation:

Given that

E= 1 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

F= 4 N

d= 0.5 mm

L = 60 mm

We know that elongation due to force F given as

\Delta L=\dfrac{FL}{AE}

\Delta L=\dfrac{FL}{\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\times E}

\Delta L=\dfrac{4\times 60}{\dfrac{\pi \times 0.5^2}{4}\times 10^4}

ΔL = 0.12 mm

Therefore the answer is -

b) 0.1 mm

A particle is constrained to move round a circle radius 382400km and makes a single revolution in 27.3 days. (i). Find the veloc
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The velocity and acceleration of the particle moving round the circle is;

<em><u>Velocity = 162.12 m/s</u></em>

<em><u>Velocity = 162.12 m/sAcceleration = 6.873 × 10^(-5) m/s²</u></em>

We are given;

Radius of circle; 382400 km = 382400000 m

Time; t = 27.3 days = 27.3 × 86400 s = 2358720 s

Now, formula for velocity is;

Velocity = distance/time

Thus;

I) velocity = 382400000/2358720

Velocity = 162.12 m/s

II) Acceleration is centripetal acceleration and is given by the formula;

a = v²/r

a = 162.12²/382400000

a = 6.873 × 10^(-5) m/s²

The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 146 cm. The center of mass ofthe motorcycle, including the rid
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

9.12267515924 m/s²

Explanation:

Here the moment created by the wheels and the moment created by the center of gravity will balance each other.

h = Height of the center of mass = 78.5 cm

d =  Distance from back wheel to the center of mass = \dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}\ m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Horizontal acceleration

The equation is of the form

mgd=Fh\\\Rightarrow mgd=mah\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{gd}{h}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{9.81\times \dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}}{78.5\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=9.12267515924\ m/s^2

The horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle that will make the front wheel rise off the ground is 9.12267515924 m/s²

A single mass (m1 = 3.5 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 278 N/m. 1)What is the dist
artcher [175]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.126m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;

F = k x e            -------------------(i)

Where;

k = the spring's constant.

From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e

F = W               -----------------------(ii)

<em>But;</em>

W = m x g;

where;

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]

<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>

F = W = m x g

<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>

F = k x e

m x g = k x e      ------------------(iii)

<em>From the question;</em>

m = m1 = 3.5kg

k = 278N/m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

3.5 x 10 = 278 x e

35 = 278e

<em>Now solve for e;</em>

e = 35/278

e = 0.126m

Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
