You are sitting on a deck of your house surrounded by oak trees. You hear the sound of an acorn hitting the deck. You wonder if

an acorn will do much damage if instead of the deck it hits your head. Let the mass of the acorn be 3.5 g. Suppose it drops from a height of 14 m (relative to your head). Assume that the acorn sinks in 0.50 cm of your head skin before coming to a stop.

Answer: 96N

Explanation:

To calculate the velocity of the impact On the persons head, we have

h = gt²/2

14 = 9.81t²/2

t² = 28/9.8

t² = 2.86

t = 1.69s

V = u + at

V = 0 + 9.81*1.69

V = 16.58m/s

a(average) = (v1² + v2²) /2Δy

a(average) = 16.58² + 0)/2 * 0.005

a(average) = 274.8964/0.01

a(average) = 27489.64m/s²

Using newton's second law of motion,

F(average) = m * a(average)

F(average) = 0.0035 * 27489.64

F(average) = 96.21N

Therefore the force needed by the acorn to do much damage starts from 96N

Two separate disks are connected by a belt traveling at 5m/s. Disk 1 has a mass of 10kg and radius of 35cm. Disk 2 has a mass of
pantera1 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Linear speed of both disks is 5 m/s

Mass of disk 1 is 10 kg

Radius of disk 1 is 35 cm or 0.35 m

Mass of disk 2 is 3 kg

Radius of disk 2 is 7 cm or 0.07 m

(a) The angular velocity of disk 1 is :

v=r_1\omega_1\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{5}{0.35}\\\\\omega_1=14.28\ rad/s

(b) The angular velocity of disk 2 is :

v=r_2\omega_2\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{v}{r_2}\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{5}{0.07}\\\\\omega_2=71.42\ rad/s

(c) The moment of inertia for the two disk system is given by :

I=I_1+I_2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1r_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2r_2^2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1r_1^2+m_2r_2^2)\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (10\times (0.35)^2+3\times (0.07)^2)\\\\I=0.619\ kg-m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

How does the saturation of a solution affect crystal formation? In your own words please
ryzh [129]

The term saturated solution is used in chemistry to define a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. It is understood that saturation of the solution has been achieved when any additional substance that is added results in a solid precipitate or is let off as a gas.
