Answer:

The velocity of the pin is opposite its acceleration on the way up.

Explanation:

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up in the air. After the pin leaves his hand and while it is in the air, the velocity of the pin is opposite its acceleration on the way up.

When an object is thrown straight up in the air, the acceleration due to gravity is acting in the opposite direction. As a result, the velocity of the pin is acting in the opposite direction on the way up.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

How is thermal energy naturally transferred between objects?
Sladkaya [172]

The second law of thermodynamics establishes restrictions on the flow of thermal energy between two bodies. This law states that the energy does not flow spontaneously from a low temperature object T1, to another object that is at a high temperature T2.

For example. Suppose you place your cell phone on the table. Your phone is at a temperature of 40 ° C and the table is at 19 ° C. Then, it is impossible for the table to spontaneously transfer its thermal energy to the telephone, and so that the table gets colder and the telephone warmer.


Finally we can say that the correct option is B: From the hotter object to the cooler object

a train is moving with an initial velocity of 30 m/s, the brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of -1.5 m/s
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Time \ in \ which \ train \ will \ come \ to \ rest = 20 \ sec}

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 30 m/s

Final speed (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = - 1.5 m/,s²

To Find:

Time in which train will come to rest (t).

Explanation:

\sf From \ equation \ of \ motion: \\ \sf \implies \bold{v = u + at} \\ \\ \sf Substituting \ value \ of \ v, \ u \ and \ a:  \\  \sf \implies 0 = 30 + ( - 1.5)(t) \\   \sf  \implies 0 = 30 - 1.5(t) \\  \sf \implies 30 - 1.5(t) = 0 \\  \\  \sf Subtract  \: 30  \: from  \: both  \: sides: \\  \sf \implies (30 -  \boxed{ \sf 30}) - 1.5(t) =  \boxed{ \sf  - 30} \\  \\  \sf 30 - 30 = 0 :  \\  \sf \implies  - 1.5(t) =  - 30 \\  \\  \sf Divide  \: both  \: sides \:  of \:  - 1.5(t) =  - 30 \: by \:  - 1.5 :  \\  \sf \implies  \frac{  - 1.5(t)}{ \boxed{ \sf - 1.5}}  =  \frac{ - 30}{ \boxed{ \sf -1.5 }}  \\  \\  \sf \frac{ \cancel{ \sf 1.5}}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}}  = 1 :  \\  \sf \implies t =  \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5}  \\  \\   \sf  \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5}  =  \frac{\cancel{ \sf 1.5} \times 20}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}}  = 20 :  \\  \sf  \implies t = 20 \: sec

So,

Time in which train will come to rest = 20 seconds

When light propagates through two adjacent materials that have different optical properties, some interesting phenomena occur at
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

First, the different indices of refraction must be taken into account (in different media): for example, the refractive index of light in a vacuum is 1 (since vacuum = c).  The value of the refractive index of the medium is a measure of its "optical density":  Light spreads at maximum speed in a vacuum but slower in others  transparent media; therefore in all of them n> 1. Examples of typical values ​​of  are those of air (1,0003), water (1.33), glass (1.46 - 1.66) or diamond (2.42).

The refractive index has a maximum value and a minimum value, which we can calculate the minimum value by means of the following explanation:

The limit or minimum angle, α lim, is defined as the angle of refraction from which  the refracted ray disappears and all the light is reflected. As in the maximum value of  angle of refraction, from which everything is reflected, is βmax = 90º, we can  know the limit angle (the minimum angle that we would have to have to know the minimum index of refraction) by Snell's law:

 βmax = 90º ⇒ n 1x sin α (lim) = n 2 ⇒ sin α lim = n 2 / n 1

Explanation:

When a light ray strikes the separation surface between two media  different, the incident beam is divided into three: the most intense penetrates the second  half forming the refracted ray, another is reflected on the surface and the third is  breaks down into numerous weak beams emerging from the point of incidence in  all directions, forming a set of stray light beams.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.

a 100 g cart initially moving at 0.5 m/s collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. a) using the equation in the theory,
cupoosta [38]

A 100 g cart is moving at 0.5 m/s that collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. Final velocity is calculated to be 0.25m/s.

Collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision is known as elastic collision . Momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved quantities in elastic collisions.

Collision in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy is inelastic collision.

For an elastic collision, we use the formula,

m₁V₁i+ m₂V₂i = m₁V1f + m₂V₂f

For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocity of the 100g cart will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart.

Final velocity = 0.5/2

=0.25 m/s.

To know more about elastic collision, refer
