Not sure if it went through last time. Please help asap!

Olin [163]

The equation for force is F=ma. Because we have the value of mass (0.42 kg) and the acceleration (14.8 m/s^2), simply plug them into the equation for force to get
$0.42 \times 14.8 = 6.22$
The answer is 6.22 N because newtons are the unit used to measure force.

In a controlled experiment, a scientist is studying how long it takes feathers of different sizes to fall to the ground. What is

nikdorinn [45]

Answer: independent variable: Size of the feather.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the manipulated/independent variable is, as the name implies, the variable that the scientist can control.

In this case, the scientist has only one variable that he can control at will, and this is the size of the feather (he can choose which feather he uses for the experiment)

So the manipulated variable will be the size of the feather.

And the dependent variable is the one that "answers" to the changes in the manipulated variable.

In this case, will be the time that it takes to the feather to fall to the ground.

Two balls of clay, with masses M1 = 0.49 kg and M2 = 0.47 kg, are thrown at each other and stick when they collide. Mass 1 has a

malfutka [58]

Answer:

a) $p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}$

b) $v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}$

c) $v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given masses:

$m_1=0.49\ kg$

$m_2=0.47\ kg$

Velocity of mass 1, $v_1=3.2 \hat{i}\ m.s^{-1}$

Velocity of mass 2, $v_2=1.6 \hat{j}\ m.s^{-1}$

a)

Initial momentum:

$p_i=m_1.v_1+m_2.v_2$

$p_i=0.49\times 3.2 \hat{i}+0.47\times 1.6 \hat{j}$

$p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}$

b)

magnitude of initial momentum:

$p_i=\sqrt{1.568^2+0.752 ^2}$

$p_i=1.739\ kg.m.s^{-1}$

From the conservation of momentum:

$p_f=p_i$

$m_f.v_f=1.739$

$v_f=\frac{1.739}{0.49+0.47}$

$v_f=1.85\ m.s^{-1}$ is the magnitude of final velocity.

Direction of final velocity will be in the direction of momentum:

$tan\theta=\frac{0.752 }{1.568}$

$\theta=25.62^{\circ}$

$\therefore v_{fx}=1.85\ cos25.62^{\circ}$

$v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}$

c)

Vertical component of final velocity:

$v_{fy}=1.85\ sin 25.62^{\circ}$

$v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}$
