Answer:

A. A golf ball striking the ground is a collision.

B. The ground exerts an equal force on the golf ball.

Explanation:

A collision is the mutual interaction between two or more bodies, of which at least one is in motion, with an exchange of momentum and energy.

According to Newton's third law, if the golf ball exerts a force on the ground, then the ground must exert a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the golf ball.

A seagull flying horizontally over the ocean at a constant speed of 2.60 m/s carries a small fish in its mouth. It accidentally

Ivenika [448]

(a) +2.60 m/s

The motion of the fish dropped by the seagul is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- a horizontal uniform motion, at constant speed

- a vertical motion, at constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity, $g=-9.8 m/s^2$ , downward)

In this part we are only interested in the horizontal motion. As we said the horizontal component of the fish's velocity does not change, therefore its value when the fish reaches the ocean is equal to its initial value, which is the speed at which the seagull was flying (because it was flying horizontally):

$v_x = +2.60 m/s$

(b) -17.2 m/s

The vertical component of the fish's velocity instead follows the equation:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity, which is zero

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Since the fish reaches the ocean at t = 1.75 s, we can substitute this time into the formula to find the final vertical velocity:

$v_y = 0+(-9.8)(1.75)=-17.2 m/s$

where the negative sign indicates the direction (downward).

(c)

The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase

The vertical component of the fish's velocity would stay the same.

As we said from part (a) and (b):

- The horizontal component of the fish's velocity is constant during the motion and it is equal to the initial velocity of the seagull -> so if the seagull's initial speed increases, the horizontal velocity of the fish will increase too

- The vertical component of the fish's velocity does not depend on the original speed of the seagull, therefore it is not affected.

Air "breaks down" when the electric field strength reaches 3 × 106 n/c, causing a spark. A parallel-plate capacitor is made from

Lera25 [3.4K]

Electric field between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is given as

$E = \frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}$

here area of plates of capacitor is given as

$A = 0.055 * 0.055$

$A = 3.025 * 10^{-3}$

also the maximum field strength is given as

$E = 3 * 10^6 N/C$

now we will plug in all data to find the maximum possible charge on capacitor plates

$3 * 10^6 = \frac{Q}{3.025 * 10^{-3}*8.85 * 10^{-12}}$

$Q = 8.03 * 10^{-8} C$

so the maximum charge that plate will hold will be given by above

Which temperature scale has the highest value for the boiling point of water?

drek231 [11]

Answer: The correct answer is kelvin.

Explanation:

The expression for the conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin is as follows:

K= 273 + degree Celsius

The expression for the conversion of degree Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows:

$F=(Degree Celsius\times \frac{9}{5})+ 32$

The freezing point of water on Celsius degree is zero degree Celsius. The freezing point on kelvin scale is 273.15 K.

The boiling point of water on Celsius degree is 100 degree Celsius. The boiling point on kelvin scale is 373.15 K. The boiling point on Fahrenheit scale is 373.15 K.

Therefore, Kelvin scale has the highest value for the boiling point of water.

Answer:

33.61°

Explanation:

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

v is the velocity in the medium (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)
