Explanation:

Mercury exists in liquid state at room temperature as compared to other metals which exits in solid state

This makes Mercury different from all of the other metals in the periodic table.

A cyclist is riding a bicycle at a speed of 22 mph on a horizontal road. The distance between the axles is 42 in., and the mass

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The shortest distance is $S = 24.86 ft$

Explanation:

The free body diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The speed of the bicycle is $v_b = 22\ mph = 22 * \frac{5280}{3600} = 32.26 ft/s$

The distance between the axial is $d = 42 \ in$

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is $m_c = 26 \ in$ behind the front axle

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is $m_h = 40 \ in$ above the ground

For the bicycle not to be thrown over the

Momentum about the back wheel must be zero so

$\sum _B = 0$

=> $mg (26) = ma(40)$

=> $a = \frac{26}{40} g$

Here $g = 32.2 ft/s^2$

So $a = \frac{26}{40} (32.2)$

$a = 20.93 ft/s^2$

Apply the equation of motion to this motion we have

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Where $u = 32.26 ft /s$

and $v = 0$ since the bicycle is coming to a stop

$v^2 = (32.26)^2 - 2(20.93) S$

=> $S = 24.86 ft$

A rock that has deformed ____ under stress keeps its new shape when the stress is released.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Elastically

Explanation:

A rock that has deformed Elastically under stress keeps its new shape when the stress is released.

In elastic deformation the original shape of the object is regained when the stress is removed. Whereas in plastic deformation the original shape is parmanently deformed with the application of stress.

Two homogeneous bodies of the same volume

lord [1]

Answer:

No, it is not necessary for them to have same mass.

Explanation:

Let both bodies have a density d1 and d2 respectively.

Since their volumes are equal V1 = V2

we know that, https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bmass%7D%7Bvolume%7D

Hence, d1 = and d2 =

Taking the ratio of densities,we get

This implies that unless the bodies have same densities, the mass of the two bodies will not be same.

A tennis ball (m=0.060 kg) is moving horizontally at 20 m/s toward a tennis player who hits it straight back at 26 m/s. What is

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.36 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 0.06 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 20 m/s

Final velocity of the ball, v = 26 m/s

We need to find the change in momentum of the tennis ball. It is equal to the final momentum minus initial momentum

$\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\=0.06\times (26-20)\\\\=0.36\ kg-m/s$

So, the change in momentum of the ball is 0.36 kg-m/s.

A wheel with moment of inertia 25 kg. m2 and angular velocity 10 rad/s begins to speed up, with angular acceleration 15 rad/sec2

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

(A) Angular speed 40 rad/sec

Rotation = 50 rad

(b) 37812.5 J

Explanation:

We have given moment of inertia of the wheel $I=25kgm^2$

Initial angular velocity of the wheel $\omega _0=10rad/sec$

Angular acceleration $\alpha =15rad/sec^2$

(a) We know that $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

We have given t = 2 sec

So $\omega =10+15\times 2=40rad/sec$

Now $\Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=10\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 2^2=50rad$

(b) After 3 sec $\omega =10+15\times 3=55rad/sec$

We know that kinetic energy is given by $Ke=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 25\times 55^2=37812.5J$
