Answer:

θ  = 12.95º

Explanation:

For this exercise it is best to separate the process into two parts, one where they collide and another where the system moves altar the maximum height

Let's start by finding the speed of the bar plus clay ball system, using amount of momentum

The mass of the bar (M = 0.080 kg) and the mass of the clay ball (m = 0.015 kg) with speed (v₀ = 2.0 m / s)

Initial before the crash

      p₀ = m v₀

Final after the crash before starting the movement

     p_{f} = (m + M) v

     p₀ = p_{f}

     m v₀ = (m + M) v

     v = v₀ m / (m + M)

     v = 2.0 0.015 / (0.015 +0.080)

     v = 0.316 m / s

With this speed the clay plus bar system comes out, let's use the concept of conservation of mechanical energy

Lower

    Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

Higher

    E_{mf} = U = (m + M) g y

   Em₀ = E_{mf}

   ½ (m + M) v² = (m + M) g y

   y = ½ v² / g

   y = ½ 0.316² / 9.8

   y = 0.00509 m

Let's look for the angle the height from the pivot point is

    L = 0.40 / 2 = 0.20 cm

The distance that went up is

     y = L - L cos θ

     cos θ  = (L-y) / L

     θ  = cos⁻¹ (L-y) / L

     θ  = cos⁻¹-1 ((0.20 - 0.00509) /0.20)

      θ  = 12.95º

The water cycle was described in the Scriptures long before modern scientists understood it.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Low humidity is typically associated with cold temperatures since cold air holds less water compared to warm air. While it is possible for indoor humidity to be as low as 10%, most people generally find humidity levels of about 40 to 45 percent comfortable.

Consider an object with weight on the Earth W_earth. The gravity of the Earth is g. If it is moved to another planet with gravit
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

W_{Planet} = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}\times a

Explanation:

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

W_{Earth} = m\times g

Thus,

m = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}

where,

m = mass of an object, which is constant and is independent of gravity

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth

On the new planet, gravity = a

Thus the weight of the object on the new planet will be

W_{Planet} = m\times a

W_{Planet} = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}\times a

How long would it take a drag racer to increase her speed from 10m/s to 20 m/s if her car accelerates at a uniform rate of 15 m/
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

t = 0.67 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation.

v_{f} =v_{i} +(a*t)\\where:

Vf = final velocity = 20[m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 10 [m/s]

a = aceleration = 15 [m/s^2]

Now replacing in the equation we have:

20 = 10 + (15*t)

t = (20-10)/15

t = 0.67 [s]
