Answer:

An expert witness is a person, who has specific knowledge of a particular field, such a person can give specific opinion about a particular evidence found at the scene of crime. An expert can be an ordinary plumber or electrician or may be well qualified forensic scientists, who can give opinion about fields of serology, fingerprinting, DNA analysis and other fields which can be related to criminal investigation.

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho

amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

Which sentence describes Newton's first law?

Marrrta [24]

$\Large{\red{\bf{\blue{\dag} Answer:-}}}$

Newton's First Law of Motion :

An object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Here this statement is best represented by the statement : Unbalanced forces cause an object to move. [ option c ]

More to know :-

Newton's 3 laws of motion :-

Newton's First Law of Motion :-

It states that an object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Ex - (i) We tend to fall backwards while standing in the bus , when it starts suddenly.

(ii) We tend to fall forward while standing in the bus , when it stops suddenly.

Newton's Second Law of Motion :-

It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force . That is ∆p $\propto$ Force .

Ex - (i) When we push car & a truck with same force the car will have Greater acceleration due to less mass . (Imaginary case ).

(ii) We feel easy to push a empty cart than a full cart .

Newton's Third Law of Motion :-

It states that every action has equal and opposite reaction .

Ex - (i) We are able to walk on ground due to Newton's third law of motion .

(ii) When we push wall it also applies equal and opposite force .

a 5-kg fish swimming at 1 m/s swallows an absent minded 1-kg fish at rest. What is the speed of the large fish immediately afyer

storchak [24]

Answer:

In first case speed of fish will be $\frac{5}{6}$ m/s.

In the second case the speed of fish $\frac{1}{6}$ m/s

Explanation:

Given data :-

Mass of bigger fish ( m₁ ) = 5 kg.

Mass of small fish ( m₂ ) = 1 kg.

Speed of large fish ( v₁ ) = 1 m/s

Mass of bigger fish after eating smaller one = 5 + 1 = 6 kg.

Case - 1

Momentum of bigger fish before eating the smaller fish = m₁* v₁ = 5 * 1 = 5 kg.m/s

Momentum of bigger fish after eating the larger fish = ( m₁ + m₂)*v

v = speed of bigger fish immediately after lunch.

Using the conservation of momentum.

m₁* v₁ = ( m₁ + m₂)*v

5 = 6 * v

v = $\frac{5}{6}$ m/s.

Case -2

Speed of small fish = 4 m/s

Momentum of bigger fish before lunch = 5 kg.m/s

Momentum of smaller fish before lunch = 4*1 = 4 kg.m/s

Net momentum before lunch = 5 - 4 = 1 kg.m/s

Momentum of bigger fish after eating the larger fish = 6 * V

Using the conservation of momentum.

1 = 6 * V

V = $\frac{1}{6}$ m/s.
