Answer:

a. 14.68m/s

b. 1.043N

Explanation:

a.

Given

Mass = m = 144g = 0.144kg

Height = h = 11m

Using energy conservation,

½mv² = mgh where g = 9.8m/s² ----- divide both sides by m

½v² = gh ---- divide both sides by ½

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 * 9.8 * 11)

v = 14.68332387438212m/s

v = 14.68m/s ----- Approximated

b.

v = 7.5m/s

By definition, “the average force of air resistance,”

When work done against air resistance is solved by multiplying height by the average force of resistance ------ by definition

i.e. W = -Fh

Minus is used because F and h points to different direction (when viewed as vectors).

This is proved by:

W = Fhcos(180) because h points toward the direction of motion (downward) while F points opposite.

W = Fh * -1

W = Fh

Using energy conservation,

mgh - Fh = ½mv² ---- Make Fh, the subject of formula

Fh = mgh - ½mv² ---- Divide through by h

F = mg - mv²/2h

F = 0.144 * 9.8 - 0.144 * 7.5²/(2 * 11)

F = 1.043N

What is one way that continental rifts are similar to mid-ocean ridges and what is one that they are different?

adell [148]

Explanation:

Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.

In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.

A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.

They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.

But:

Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.

Particle 1 and particle 2 have masses of m1 = 2.2 × 10-8 kg and m2 = 4.8 × 10-8 kg, but they carry the same charge q. The two pa

Lorico [155]

Answer: $r_2=11.81 cm$

Explanation:

Given

$m_1=2.2\times 10^{-8} kg$

$m_2=4.8\times 10^{-8} kg$

same charge on both masses

potential Energy due to Magnetic Field =Kinetic Energy of Particle

$qV=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}$

and we know

Force due to magnetic field will Provide centripetal Force

$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$B=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2Vm}{q}}}{r}$

and B is equal for both particles

thus $\frac{m}{r^2}=constant$

$\frac{m_1}{r_1^2}=\frac{m_2}{r_2^2}$

$r_2^2=\frac{4.8}{2.2}\times 8^2$

$r_2=11.81 cm$

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is $I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm$

If r is $-\frac{a}{2}$

and $dm=\frac{M}{a} dr$

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a} } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}$

$I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\ I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

You add 800 ml of water at 20c to 800 ml of water at 80c what is the most likely final temperature of the mixture ?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

d. 50 C

Explanation:

In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.

The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:

Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2

= 50 Celsius
