A stone is dropped at t = 0. A second stone, with 6 times the mass of the first, is dropped from the same point at t = 160 ms. (

a) How far below the release point is the center of mass of the two stones at t = 290 ms? (Neither stone has yet reached the ground.) (b) How fast is the center of mass of the two-stone system moving at that time?

Answer with Explanation:

Let mass of one stone=m_1=m

Mass of second stone,m'=6 m

a.t_1=290 ms=290\times 10^{-3} s

1 ms=10^{-3} s

t=160 ms=160\times 10^{-3} s

t'=t-t_1=290\times 10^{-3}-160\times 10^{-3}=130\times 10^{-3} s

Initial velocity=u_1=u'=0

y_1=\frac{1}{2} gt^2_1=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(290\times 10^{-3})^2=0.412 m

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

y'=\frac{1}{2}gt'^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(130\times 10^{-3})^2=0.0828 m

Center of mass=\frac{m_1y_1+m'y'}{m_1+m'}

Center of mass=\frac{m(0.412)+6m(0.0828)}{m+6m}=\frac{m(0.412+6(0.0828)}{7m}=0.13 m

b.v=u+gt

Using the formula

v_1=9.8(290\times 10^{-3})=2.8m/s

v'=9.8(130\times 10^{-3})=1.27m/s

Velocity of center of mass=\frac{m_1v_1+m'v'}{m_1+m'}

Velocity of center of mass=\frac{m(2.8)+6m(1.27)}{m+6m}=\frac{m(2.8+6(1.27)}{7m}=1.49 m/s

1. The planet Jupiter completes a revolution of the sun in 11.5 years. Express it in seconds. Given that one year= 3.154 × 10^7
xenn [34]

Answer:

The planet Jupiter completes one revolution of the sun in 362710000 seconds. Long time, right?

Explanation:

3.154x10^7=3.154x10000000=31540000

11.5x31540000=362710000

It takes 1 minute for 45 c to pass a point in a circuit, what is the current flowing through the circuit?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

0.75 A

Explanation:

An electric current is a flow of charged particles.

A current is defined through its intensity, which is given by:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current intensity

q is the charge passing through a given point in the circuit

t is the time it takes for the charge q to pass that point in the circuit

In this problem, we have:

q = 45 C is the charge passing through the point in the circuit

t=1 min = 60 s is the time elapsed

Therefore, the current intensity is:

I=\frac{45}{60}=0.75 A
