While goofing off at the ice skating rink, a student takes off her shoes and places each of them on the ice. Her friend, a hocke

y player, then shoots a hockey puck at each shoe. The first puck immediately comes to rest after it collides with the left shoe. The second puck rebounds after it collides with the right shoe. If each hockey puck has the same incoming speed, which shoe has greater speed after the collision?

Answer:

Right shoe

Explanation:

Let the mass and velocity of incoming puck be m and v respectively.

Momentum of the colliding puck will be mv

In case of first case , the momentum of puck becomes zero so change in momentum after collision with left shoe

= mv - 0 = mv

If time duration of collision be t

rate of change of momentum

= mv / t

This is the force exerted by puck on the left shoe .

Now let us consider collision with right shoe

momentum after collision with right shoe

- mv

change in momentum

= mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

If time duration of collision be t

rate of change of momentum

= 2mv / t

This is the force exerted by puck on the right shoe .

Since the force on the right shoe is more , this shoe will have greater speed

after collision.

If you are driving 100 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 1.6 s , how far do you travel during this inatten

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The distance traveled is 44.45 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Average speed, $\bar{v} = 100\ km/h$

Time, t = 1.6 s

Now, convert the average speed into m/s:

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = $60\times 60 = 3600\ s$

To calculate the distance traveled:

Now,

$100\ km/h = \frac{100\times 1000}{3600} = 27.78\ m/s$

We know that:

Speed, $\bar{v} = \frac{distance,\ d}{time,\ t}$

Thus

$d = \bar{v}t$

$d = 27.78\times 1.6 = 44.45\ m$

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.410 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?

aivan3 [116]

Initial velocity = $v_0$

acceleration in the downward direction = -9.8 $\frac {m}{s^2}$

Final velocity at the highest point = 0

Maximum height reached = 0.410 m

Now, Using third equation of motion:

$\(v^2 = {v_0}^{2} + 2aH$

$\(0^2 = {v_0}^{2} - 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410$

${v_0}^{2} = 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410$

$v_0 = 2.834 \frac {m}{s}$

Speed with which the flea jumps = $2.834 \frac {m}{s}$

What type of evidence is needed for a hypothesis to be supported or not supported?

NISA [10]

Answer:

Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.

g If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance, what should that resi

Anettt [7]

<h2>Question:</h2>

In this circuit the resistance R1 is 3Ω, R2 is 7Ω, and R3 is 7Ω. If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance, what should that resistance be?

Answer:

9.1Ω

Explanation:

The circuit diagram has been attached to this response.

(i) From the diagram, resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel to each other. The reciprocal of their equivalent resistance, say Rₓ, is the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances of each of them. i.e

$\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}$

=> $R_{X} = \frac{R_1 * R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$ ------------(i)

From the question;

R1 = 3Ω,

R2 = 7Ω

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

$R_{X} = \frac{3 * 7}{3 + 7}$

$R_{X} = \frac{21}{10}$

$R_{X} = 2.1$ Ω

(ii) Now, since we have found the equivalent resistance (Rₓ) of R1 and R2, this resistance (Rₓ) is in series with the third resistor. i.e Rₓ and R3 are connected in series. This is shown in the second image attached to this response.

Because these resistors are connected in series, they can be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance R. Where R is the sum of the resistances of the two resistors: Rₓ and R3. i.e

R = Rₓ + R3

Rₓ = 2.1Ω

R3 = 7Ω

=> R = 2.1Ω + 7Ω = 9.1Ω

Therefore, the combination of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 can be replaced with a single resistor with an equivalent resistance of 9.1Ω
