Answer:

The correct answer is

1. the boy 2.

Explanation:

Since Tangential acceleration = v²/r  then the

v = ωr and v² =  ω²r² then the tangential acceleration = ω²r²/r = ω²r

This shows that  since ω is the same for both of them, the boy with greater r has the most acceleration.

The tangential acceleration a_t = α·r

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti
Alex

Answer:

A) The speed of the water must be 8.30 m/s.

B) Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver is 70.12 Joules.

Explanation:

A) Mass of squid with water = 6.50 kg

Mass of water in squid cavuty = 1.55 kg

Mass of squid = m_1=6.50 kg- 1.55 kg=4.95 kg

Velocity achieved by squid = v_1=2.60 m/s

Momentum gained by squid = P=m_1v_1

Mass of water = m_2=1.55 kg

Velocity by which water was released by squid = v_2

Momentum gained by water but in opposite direction = P'=m_2v_2

P = P'

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{4.95 kg\times 2.60 m/s}{1.55 kg}=8.30 m/s

B) Kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver:

Kinetic energy of squid = K.E  =\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}

Kinetic energy of water = K.E' = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}

Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver:

K.E+K.E'=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}

=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.95 kg\times (2.60 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.55 kg\times (8.30 m/s)^2=70.12 Joules

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

1.

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is  the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}

where:

R = resistance of the wire

l = length of the wire

a= cross sectional area of the wire  

from the above relation we observe that

R\propto l

R\propto \frac{1}{a}

  • Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

2.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

3.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.

A 5-kg projectile is fired over level ground with a velocity of 200 m/s at an angle of 25°above the horizontal. Just before it h
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

the change in thermal energy of the projectile is 43.8 kJ

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 5kg

initial velocity of the projectile, v₁ = 200 m/s

final  velocity of the projectile, v₂ = 150 m/s

To determine the the change in the thermal energy of the projectile and air, we consider change in potential and kinetic enrgy of the projectile. Since the projectile was fired over level ground, change in potential energy is zero.

Then, change in thermal energy of the projectile, KE = Δ¹/₂mv²

KE = Δ¹/₂mv² = ¹/₂m(v₁²-v₂²)

KE =  ¹/₂ × 5(200²-150²) = 2.5(17500) = 43750 J = 43.8 kJ

Therefore, the change in thermal energy of the projectile is 43.8 kJ
