Answer:

Total momentum, p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first piece, m_1=200\ g= 0.2\ kg

Mass of the second piece, m_2=300\ g= 0.3\ kg

Speed of the first piece, v_1=82\ m/s (along x axis)

Speed of the second piece, v_2=45\ m/s (along y axis)

To find,

The total momentum of the two pieces.

Solve,

The total momentum of two pieces is equal to the sum of momentum along x axis and along y axis.

p_x=m_1v_1

p_x=0.2\ kg\times 82\ m/s

p_x=16.4\ kg-m/s

p_y=m_2v_2

p_y=0.3\ kg\times 45\ m/s

p_y=13.5\ kg-m/s

The net momentum is given by :

p=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}

p=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}

p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Therefore, the total momentum of the two pieces is 21.24 kg-m/s.

Use the circuit diagram to decide if the lightbulb will light. Justify your answer.
podryga [215]

Answer:

The lightbulb will NOT light.

Explanation:

You put me in a difficult position.  I can't help it, but the "sample answer" is by far the best way to explain this, briefly and correctly.  There's no other choice but to copy it.

This is a short circuit. The branch without the bulb has almost no resistance, so all the current will flow through that branch instead of flowing through the bulb.

<em>If</em> the lower switch were <u>opened</u>, THEN we would have a series circuit.  Current would no longer have any other choice but to flow through the bulb, and the bulb would light.

Compared to its weight on Earth, a 5kg object on the moon will weigh
shutvik [7]

Answer:

8.1 N/49 N=0.1653  which means 16.53% of the weight of the object on Earth.

Explanation:

On the Moon, where the gravitational constant is 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2}, the weight of the 5 kg object will be: weight_M=m*g_M = 5 kg * 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2} =8.1 N

Where the answer is in Newtons (N) since all quantities are given in the SI system.

On Earth, on the other hand, the weight of the object is:

weight_E=m*g_E= 5 kg* 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = 49N

Therefore the object's weight on the Moon compared to that on Earth will be:

8.1N/49N=0.1653

That is, 16.53% of the weight the object has on Earth.

Baseball player A bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 1.3 m/s parallel to the gro
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

cSep 20, 2010

well, since player b is obviously inadequate at athletics, it shows that player b is a woman, and because of this, she would not be able to hit the ball. The magnitude of the initial velocity would therefore be zero.

First you need to solve for time by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1m=(1/2)(9.8)t^2 vertical initial velocity is 0m/s

t=.45 sec

Then you find the horizontal distance traveled by using

v=d/t

1.3m/s=d/.54sec

d=.585m

Then you need to find the time of player B by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1.8m=(1/2)(9.8)(t^2) vertical initial velocity is 0

t=.61 sec

Finally to find player Bs initial horizontal velocity you use the horizontal equation

v=d/t

v=.585m/.61 sec

so v=.959m/s

You add 800 ml of water at 20c to 800 ml of water at 80c what is the most likely final temperature of the mixture ?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

d. 50 C

Explanation:

In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.

The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:

Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2

= 50 Celsius
