A 8.3-g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 82-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay sti

Answer:

The speed of the clay before the impact was 106.35 m/s.

Explanation:

the only force doing work on the system is the frictional force, f, the work done by f is given by:

Wf = ΔK = Kf - Ki

The clay and the block will come to rest after sliding Δx = 7.50 m, if their intial speed is v and the combined mass is m and μ is the coefficient of friction and g is gravity,then:

         f×Δx = Ki

m×g×Δx×μ = 1/2×m×v^2

           v^2 = 2×g×Δx×μ

                  =  2×(9.8)×(7.50)×(0.650)

                  = 95.55

               v = 9.78 m/s

This is the veloty of clay and block after the clay hit the block.

if the velocity the clay and block attains after the impact is v and the initial speed of the clay is v1 and the mass is m and the speed of the block initially is V = 0 m/s and the mass is M, then according to the conservation of linear momentum:

m×v1 +M×V = v(m + M)

         m×v1 = v(m + M)

              v1 = v(m + M)/m

              v1 =  (9.78)(8.3×10^-3 + 82×10^-3)/(8.3×10^-3)

              v1 =  106.35 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the clay before the impact was 106.35 m/s.

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year
Troyanec [42]

       (186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

  =   (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365)  mi/yr

  =      5,865,696,000,000  miles per year  (rounded to the nearest million miles)

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 30.1: Inductors in Circuits. A circuit has a 1 V battery connected in series with a switch.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

0.0133A

Explanation:

Since we have two sections, for the Inductor region there would be a current i_1. In the case of resistance 2, it will cross a current i_2

Defined this we proceed to obtain our equations,

For i_1,

\frac{di_1}{dt}+i_1R_1 = V

I_1 = \frac{V}{R_1} (1-e^{-\frac{R_1t}{L}})

For i_2,

I_2R_2 =V

I_2 = \frac{V}{R_2}

The current in the entire battery is equivalent to,

i_t = I_1+I_2

i_t = \frac{V}{R_2}+\frac{V}{R_1} (1-e^{-\frac{R_1t}{L}})

Our values are,

V=1V

R_1 = 95\Omega

L= 1.5*10^{-2}H

R_2 =360\Omega

Replacing in the current for t= 0.4m/s

i=\frac{1}{360}+\frac{1}{95}(1-e^{-\frac{95*0.4}{1.5*10^{-2}}})

i= 0.0133A

i_1 = 0.01052A

A satellite with a mass of 2,000 ㎏ is inserted into an orbit that is twice the Earth' s radius. W hat is the force of gravity on
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

option (b) 4900 N

Explanation:

m = 2000 kg, R = 6380 km = 6380 x 10^3 m, Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, h = R

F = G Me x m / (R + h)^2

F = G Me x m / 2R^2

F = 6.67 x 10^-11 x 5.98 x 10^24 x 2000 / (2 x 6380 x 10^3)^2

F = 4900 N

IIIIIIIIII neeeeeed helppppp again?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The Principle of Progression

(I searched it up since I never learned this)

Explanation:

The principle of progression states that a person should start slowly and increase exercise gradually. Since Mandy is just getting started on her exercise routine, she should begin with a few workouts over a large span of time, then work her way up so she can do more workouts in a shorter span of time.

Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?
Ludmilka [50]
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.
