A paintball’s mass is 0.0032kg. A typical paintball strikes a target moving at 85.3 m/s.

Physics

Answer:

A)  If the paintball stops completely the magnitude of the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.273kg*m/s

B) If the paintball bounces off its target and afterward moves in the opposite direction with the same speed, the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.546kg*m/s

C) A paintball bouncing off your skin in the opposite direction with the same speed hurts more than a paintball exploding upon your skin because of the strength exerted is twice than if it explodes.

Explanation:

Hi

A) We use the formula of momentum p=mv, so we have p=0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.273kg*m/s

B) We use the same formula above, then due we have a change of direction at the same speed, therefore the change in the momentum is the double so

p=2*0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.546kg*m/s.

C) The average strength of the force an object exerts during impact is determined by the amount the object’s momentum changes. therefore

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}, as we don't have any data about the impact time but we know momentum is twice, time does no matter and strength is twice too.

maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R

A concave mirror has a focal length of 13.5 cm. This mirror forms an image located 37.5 cm in front of the mirror. Find the magn
77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.
