Answer:

The magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of snowball, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

velocity of the snowball, v = 7.5 m/s

duration of the collision between the snowball and the wall, t = 0.15 s

Magnitude of the average force can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

a is acceleration = v / t

a = 7.5 / 0.15

a = 50 m/s²

F = ma

F = 0.12 x 50

F = 6 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

A horizontal spring-mass system has low friction, spring stiffness 160 N/m, and mass 0.3 kg. The system is released with an init
anygoal [31]

Answer:

(a) 0.38 m

(b) 2.78 m/s

(c) 0.11 watt

Explanation:

mass, m = 0.3 kg

spring constant, K = 160 N/m

initial compression, d = 12 cm = 01.2 m

initial speed, u = 3 m/s

(a) Let the maximum stretch is y.

Use conservation of energy

Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final potential energy

0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x K x y²

160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 160 x y²

2.304 + 0.00432 = 160 y²

y = 0.38 m

y = 38 cm

(b) Let v is the maximum speed.

The speed is maximum when the stretch in the spring is zero, so by use of conservation of energy

Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy

0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x m x v²

160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 0.3 x v²

2.304 + 0.00432 = 0.3 v²

v = 2.78 m/s

(c) The time period of the spring mass system is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.3}{160}}

T = 0.272 second

Energy dissipated per cycle = 0.03 J

Power, P = 0.03 / 0.272 = 0.11 Watt

Why transparent object don't form a shadow​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.
