You want to launch a stone using the elastic band of a slingshot. The force that the elastic band applies to an object is given

by F = −α∆s4 , where α = 45 N m4 and ∆s is the displacement of the elastic band from its equilibrium position. You load the slingshot with the stone and pull back on the stone horizontally, stretching the the elastic band 20 cm. How much work do you do on the stone-elastic band system?

3 0

Answer:

0.00288 J

Explanation:

We know that

W= Fds

F = −α∆s^4

α = 45 N/m^4 and ∆s = displacement

W= −α∆s^4ds

integrating both the sides from s= 0 to 0.2

W= 45/5×0.2^5= 0.00288 J

If you place a paper clip very close to a magnet, the paper clip
Alik [6]
The answer is “D. all of the above”!

Metal from the paper clip is attracted to the magnet, so it will naturally move toward and stick to the magnet. This will cause the paper clip to temporarily become a magnet for other metals. I hope this helped!

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.9 m . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than the time of
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

145 m

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength (λ) = 2.9 m  

we know,

c = f × λ  

where,

c = speed of light ; 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency  

thus,

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

f=\frac{3.0\times 10^8 m/s}{2.9m}

f = 1.03 x 10⁸Hz  

Now,

The time period (T) = \frac{1}{f}

or

T =  \frac{1}{1.03\times 10^8}  = 9.6 x 10⁻⁹ seconds  

thus,

the time interval of one pulse = 100T = 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s  

Time between pulses = (100T×10) = 9.6 x 10⁻⁶ s  

Now,

For radar to detect the object the pulse must hit the object and come back to the detector.

Hence, the shortest distance will be half the distance travelled by the pulse back and forth.

Distance = speed × time = 3 x 10^8 m/s × 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s) = 290 m {Back and forth}  

Thus, the minimum distance to target = \frac{290}{2} = 145 m

A 1000 kg rocket carrying 25 kg of fuel and oxygen rises at a velocity of 305 m/s. If all the mass of fuel and oxygen is burned
Thepotemich [5.8K]

If all the mass of fuel and oxygen is burned to form gases of combustion, the downward velocity of these gases would be 12,505 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of linear momentum</h3>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that, the total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

The downward velocity of thes gases is calculated as follows;

v1(m1 + m2) = v2(m2)

305(1000 + 25) = v2(25)

312,625 = 25v2

v2 = 312,625/25

v2 = 12,505 m/s

Thus, If all the mass of fuel and oxygen is burned to form gases of combustion, the downward velocity of these gases would be 12,505 m/s.
