Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45 kg, is gliding to the right at

8.08 m/s, and Ethan, mass 31.0 kg, is gliding to the left at 10.9 m/s along the same line. When they meet, they grab each other and hang on.(a) What is their velocity immediately thereafter?

Answer:

$v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1}$ in the direction of motion of Jacob

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Jacob, $m_j=45\ kg$

velocity of Jacob, $v_j=8.08\ m.s^{-1}$

mass of Ethan, $m_e=31\ kg$

velocity of Ethan, $v_e=10.9\ m.s^{-1}$

Now using the conservation of linear momentum for the case:

(When the two masses in motion combine to form one after the collision then they will move together in the direction of the greater momentum.)

$(m_j+m_e).v=m_j.v_j-m_e.v_e$

$(45+31)\times v=45\times 8.08-31\times 10.9$

$v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1}$ in the direction of motion of Jacob as it was assumed to be positive.

A solid cylinder with a mass of 2.72 kg and a radius of 0.083 m starts from rest at a height of 4.20 m and rolls down a 88.7 ◦ s

Bingel [31]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy ,

Potential energy = kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times I \times \omega^{2}$

I = $\frac{mr^{2}}{2}$

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$

$mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{mr^{2}}{2}) \frac{v^{2}}{r^{2}}]$

mgh = $[\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{4} \times mv^{2}]$

$g \times h = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

$9.8 \times 4.2 = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

v = 7.4 m/s

thus, we can conclude that the translational speed of the cylinder when it leaves the incline is 7.4 m/s.

In a microwave oven, electrons describe circular motion in a magnetic field within a special tube called amagnetron; as you'll l

QveST [7]

Answer:

The magnetic field strength and the electrons' energy are 0.077 T and 0.8906 eV.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 2.62 mm

Frequency = 2.15 GHz

(A). We need to calculate the magnetic field strength

Using formula of the magnetic field strength

$B=\dfrac{2\pi mf}{e}$

Where, f = frequency

e = charge of electron

Put the value into the formula

$B=\dfrac{2\times3.14\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times2.15\times10^{9}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$B=0.077\ T$

(B). We need to calculate the energy of electron

Using formula of energy

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega)^2$

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(1.31\times10^{-3}\times2\pi\times2.15\times10^{9})^2$

$E=1.4249\times10^{-16}\ J$

The energy in eV

$1 eV=1.6\times10^{-16}\ J$

$E=\dfrac{1.4249\times10^{-16}}{1.6\times10^{-16}}$

$E=0.8906\ eV$

Hence, The magnetic field strength and the electrons' energy are 0.077 T and 0.8906 eV.

You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>
