Explanation:
It is given that,
The total mass of the wagon, rider and the rock is 99 kg
The mass of the rock is 0.261 kg.
The initial speed of the wagon, u = 0.519 m/s
Speed of the rock, u' = 15.9 m/s
(a) Let v is the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown directly in forward direction.
The momentum will remain constant. Using the conservation of momentum as :
v = 0.22 m/s
(b) Let v' is the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown directly in opposite direction, u' = -15.9 m/s
v' = 0.304 m/s
Hence, this is the required solution.
A line of dominoes falling one by one is an example of energy transfer. Energy is defined as the capacity to do work.
Answer:
10.85 m/s
Explanation:
m = 1200 kg, h1 = 19 m, h2 = 13 m
Let v be the velocity
Use the conservation of energy
Potential energy at 19 m = Potential energy at 13 m + kinetic energy
m x g x h1 = m x g x h2 + 1/2 mv^2
m x g (h1 - h2) = 0.5 x m v^2
g (h1 - h2) = 0.5 v^2
9.8 (19 - 13) = 0.5 x v^2
v = 10.85 m/s
Answer:
Exploratorium Senior Scientist Paul Doherty explains why not—the orbit of the moon is tilted relative to the orbit of the Earth around the sun, so the moon often passes below or above Earth. At those times, it does not cross the line between the sun and the Earth, and therefore does not create a solar eclipse.
