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

An electron moves with velocity v⃗ =(5.9i−6.4j)×104m/s in a magnetic field B⃗ =(−0.63i+0.65j)T. Determine the z-component of the
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on the electron = q ( v x B )

q = - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

v = (5.9i−6.4j)×10⁴

B = (−0.63i+0.65j)

v x B = (5.9i−6.4j)×10⁴  x (−0.63i+0.65j)

= (3.835  - 4.032 ) x 10⁴ k

= - 1970 k

Force on the electron = q ( v x B )

= - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x -1970 k

= 3.152 x 10⁻¹⁶ k

z-component of the force on the electron

Fz = 3.152 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

The interstellar clouds called molecular clouds are _________.
ira [324]

Answer:

nebulas and they are the cool clouds in which stars form

Explanation:

The stars are born by chance. Fragments of matter are gathered from the cool clouds of gas and dust that float in space, the so-called nebulas. These particles are added by gravitational attraction to form a large mass.

This conglomerate, due to the effect of gravity, contracts on itself and as a consequence increases in its center, density, pressure and heat. In this way, atoms move faster and collide with each other. Under these conditions, nuclear fusion reactions soon begin. When they start the star is born.

How much work is done when mass of 3kg(weighing 30N)is lifted vertically through 6m?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

180 [J].

Explanation:

1) the required work [W] can be calculated as difference of the energy: W=E₂-E₁, where E₁=mgh₁ - the energy before lifting, E₂=mgh₂ - the energy after lifting;

2) W=mgh₂-mgh₁, where m - mass; g=10 [N/kg], h - height;

3) then the required work [W]:

W=mg*(h₂-h₁)=30*6=180 [J].

If a magnet could swing freely, what would happen to its north-seeking pole?
maksim [4K]

You clearly identified the pole you're talking about as the
"north-seeking" pole.  Assuming your integrity and sincerity,
we would then naturally expect that pole to seek north, and
point to Earth's north magnetic pole. 

I'm confident in this answer also because I have several of
these devices hanging from the ceiling of my office, and I can
attest to the fact that on most clear days, they do in fact point
toward Earth's north magnetic pole.

1.How is the law of conservation of energy demonstrated by the movement of the pendulum?
Snezhnost [94]
1. Law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, for example, windmills take kinetic energy(movement energy) and convert it into electrical energy using gears and a generator as well as the blades.

so this supports it because the pendulum never reaches the same height twice unless you reset it so the energy is always getting less and less and not randomly getting back onto the pendulum.

2.Gravity, friction and air resistance slow it down as well

3. at the top, potential energy is the amount of energy something has relative to the amount it can disperse before stopping, for example, a book on a shelf has more potential energy than that of a book on a table, this is because when the shelf book falls it will create more energy than the table book.
