Explain why you cannot use mass or volume alone to identify substances.

1 answer:

4 0

Objects can have the same mass (but different compositions). Only mass or volume cannot tell you if the object is solid or volumes) or same volume (but different masses)

igomit [66]

Answer:

$W_2=-12J$

Explanation:

The work of force 2 will be given by the vectorial equation $W_2=F_2.d$ . We know the value of $F_1$ and have information about its movement, which relates to the net force $F=F_1+F_2$ .

About this movement we can obtain the acceleration using the equation $v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad$ . Since it departs from rest we have $a=\frac{v_f^2}{2d}$ .

And then using Newton's 2dn Law we can obtain the net force F=ma, thus we will have $F_2=F-F_1=ma-F1=\frac{mv_f^2}{2d}-F_1$

And we had the work done by force 2 as:

$W_2=F_2.d=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-F_1d$

(The sign will be given algebraically since we take positive the direction to the right.)

With our values:

$W_2=\frac{(10kg)(2m/s)^2}{2}-(8N)(4m)=-12J$

Another (shorter but maybe less intuitive way for someone who is learning) way of doing this would have been to say that the work done by both forces would be equal to the variation of kinetic energy:

$W_1+W_2=K_f-K_i=K_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}$

Which leads us to the previous equation straightforwardly.

A light ray traveling from a higher index of refraction medium into a lower index of refraction medium (for example, from water

masya89 [10]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

When the ray of light pass from higher refractive index to lower refractive index then the light bend away from the normal.

when the refracted ray is parallel to the boundary of the medium, θ₂ = 90°

and the incident angle θ₁

so, the angle θc is known as the critical angle.

At critical angle the refracted ray becomes parallel to boundary surface.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Part a)

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Part b)

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Part c)

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Explanation:

Red car

mass = 1000 kg

speed = 10 m/s

Yellow car

mass = 2000 kg

speed = 5 m/s

Blue car

mass = 500 kg

speed = 20 m/s

Light Blue car

mass = 1000 kg

speed = 20 m/s

Green car

mass = 500 kg

speed = 10 m/s

Purple car

mass = 4000 kg

speed = 5 m/s

Part a)

Now we know that momentum of each car is product of mass and velocity

so we will have

Red Car

$P_1 = m v$

$P_1 = (1000)(10)$

$P_1 = 10^4 kg m/s$

Yellow Car

$P_2 = m v$

$P_2 = (2000)(5)$

$P_2 = 10^4 kg m/s$

Blue Car

$P_3 = m v$

$P_3 = (500)(20)$

$P_3 = 10^4 kg m/s$

Light Blue Car

$P_4 = m v$

$P_4 = (1000)(20)$

$P_4 = 2\times 10^4 kg m/s$

Green Car

$P_5 = m v$

$P_5 = (500)(10)$

$P_5 = 5 \times 10^3 kg m/s$

Purple Car

$P_6 = m v$

$P_6 = (4000)(5)$

$P_6 = 2\times 10^4 kg m/s$

So the momentum is given as

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Part b)

Impulse is given as change in momentum so here we can say that final momentum of all the cars will be zero as they all stops and hence the impulse is same as initial momentum of the car

so the order of impulse from largest to least is given as

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car

Part c)

Force is defined as rate of change in momentum

Now let say all cars will stop in same time interval

so we will have

$Force = \frac{impulse}{time}$

so we will have

force is in same order as that of impulse

so it is given as

Purple car = Light Blue car > (Red car = Yellow Car = Blue car) > Green Car
