A cannon is mounted on a cart which sits on the ground, supported by frictionless wheels. The mass of the cannon and cart is 4.6

5 kg, and it is initially traveling at 2.00 m/s. A 50.0 g projectile is then launched with a horizontal velocity of 647 m/s from the cannon. What is the velocity of the launcher after the projectile is launched

Answer:

v = -4.96 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the cart and the cannon, M₁ = 4.65 kg

The initial velocity of the cart, v₁ = 2 m/s

The mass of the projectile, M₂ = 50 g = 0.05 kg

The initial velocity of the projectile, v₂ = 647 m/s

Velocity of the launcher after the projectile is launched, v = ?

Using the principle of momentum conservation:

Momentum of the launcher before the launch = Momentum of the projectile + momentum of the launcher after the launch

M₁v₁  = M₂v₂ + M₁v

(4.65*2) = (0.05*647) + (4.65v)

9.3 = 32.35 + 4.65v

9.3 - 32.35 = 4.65v

-23.05 = 4.65v

v = -23.05/4.65

v = -4.96 m/s

Answer:

The velocity of the launcher after the projectile is launched is  -5.011 m/s

Explanation:

Here we have the mass of the cannon and cart, m₁ =  4.65 kg

Velocity of cannon and cart, v₁ = 2.00 m/s

Mass of projectile, m₂ = 50.0 g = 0.05 kg

Velocity of projectile, v₂ = 647 m/s

Velocity of the launcher, v₃ = Required

Mass of cannon and cart, launcher after launching projectile m₃ = 4.65-0.05

= 4.6 kg

Therefore, from the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, we have

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m₁ × v₁ = m₂ × v₂ + m₃ × v₃

Substituting gives

4.65 kg × 2.00 m/s = 0.05 kg × 647 m/s + 4.6 kg × v₃

4.65 kg × 2.00 m/s - 0.05 kg × 647 m/s = 4.6 kg × v₃

-23.05 kg·m/s = 4.6 kg × v₃

v_3 = \frac{-23.05 \, kg\cdot m/s}{4.6 \, kg} =  \frac{-461}{92} m/s

v₃ = -5.011 m/s.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Composition. The universe is composed almost completely of dark energy, dark matter, and ordinary matter. Other contents are electromagnetic radiation (estimated to constitute from 0.005% to close to 0.01% of the total mass-energy of the universe) and antimatter.

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, how many counts per second would be obser
Alona [7]

Answer:

<h2><em>6000 counts per second</em></h2>

Explanation:

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, then;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter ... 1

In order to know the number of counts per second that would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample, we will have;

x count per second = 3 meter ... 2

Solving the two expressions simultaneously for x we will have;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter

x counts per second = 3 meter

Cross multiply to get x

2000 * 3 = 1* x

6000 = x

<em></em>

<em>This shows that 6000 counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample</em>

As the population in a small town grows, a new water treatment plant is built. The plant is built on a local river where it can
abruzzese [7]

Treatment water from the plant would affects the communities present in the downstream of the river.

Answer: Option (a)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wastewater treatment plant is a process used to treat the water that flows from the rivers, streams, and lakes.This plant removes the dust, sand, sediments present in the river water.

When this treated water is released into the downriver stream, it affects the health of aquatic organisms present in that stream.Use of chemicals in treating the wastewater may cause genetic problems to the communities present in that region.

It also causes air pollution and more energy is needed for the treatment process and thus affects the ecosystem.

The electric potential difference across the membrane of a body cell is 0.070 V (higher on the outside than on the inside). The
12345 [234]

Answer:

The electric field is 8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1} and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field (\vec{E}) is given by \vec{E} = - \nabla V, 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, V = 0.070~V~ and the thickness of the cell membrane is d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m.

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}

A tube is sealed at both ends and contains a 0.0100-m long portion of liquid. The length of the tube is large compared to 0.0100
Ahat [919]

Answer:

31.321 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Tube length

A = Area of tube

\rho = Density of fluid

v = Fluid velocity

m = Mass = \rho Al

Centripetal force is given by

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{L}\\ F=\dfrac{m(\omega L)^2}{L}\\ F=m\omega^2\\ F= 0.01A\rho\omega^2L

Pressure is given by

P=\dfrac{F}{A}=\rho gL\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.01A\rho\omega^2L}{A}=\rho gL\\\Rightarrow 0.01\omega^2=g\\\Rightarrow \omega^2=\dfrac{g}{0.01}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{0.01}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.81}{0.01}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=31.321\ rad/s

The angular speed of the tube is 31.321 rad/s
