1. (15 points) Small cart is rolling down an inclined track and accelerating. It fires a ball straight out of the cannon as it m

oves. After it is fired, what happens to the ball? Does it fall back to the incline behind the cart, right into the cart or in front of the incline? Explain your reasoning conceptually.

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem can be solved with the conservation of the momentum.

If the ball is fired upward, the momentum before and after the ball is fired must conserve. Hence, the speed of the ball is the same that the speed of the car just in the moment in wich the ball is fired.

Hence, the result depends of the acceleration of the car. If the change in the speed is higher than the speed of the ball, it is probably that the ball will be behind the car or it will come back to the car.

If the ball is fired forward, and if the change in the speed of the car is not enogh, the ball will be in front of the car.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

3. Describe the flow of one molecule of water through the water cycle, beginning in the ocean.
scZoUnD [109]

molecules of water are never destroyed - they go through various uses in a cycle of re-use. beginning in the ocean. a water molecue is attached to the wet suit of a deep sea diver. when the diver gets back on his boat, the water molecule leaves the ocean. Diver dry his suit under the sun. The water molecule is evaporated to the air. It meets up with more water molecules to form cloud. Cloud becomes rain over ground. Rain drains into stream which merges into river. River runs out to the ocean and the water cycle starts anew.

A vector makes an angle of 30° with the positive x-axis.
kkurt [141]

Answer:

W = 112.58 N-unit

Explanation:

Given:

- Force F = 10 N

- Angle Q of force with x axis: 30 degrees

- distance to be moved d = 13 units along + x axis

Find:

Work Done by the force F:

Solution:

The work by force in positive x direction can only be done if the both the direction of distance traveled and direction of force are parallel vectors. Hence we compute the component of Force F in x direction F_x:

                                       F_x = F*cos(Q)

                                       F_x = 10*cos(30)

                                       F_x = 8.66 N

        Hence,

                                  Work Done by force

                                        W = F_x * d

                                       W = 8.66 * 13

                                  W = 112.58 N-unit

A worker does 25 J of work lifting a bucket, then sets the bucket back down in the same place. What is the total net work done o
Sloan [31]

Answer:

b. 0 J

Explanation:

Work is the cross product of force and displacement.  Since the bucket has 0 displacement, the net work is 0 J.
