A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from

an altitude of 500 m and air resistance can be neglected, how fast is the package moving when it hits the ground?

We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

The water flowing through a 2.0 cm (inside diameter) pipe flows out through three 1.3 cm pipes. (a) If the flow rates in the thr
Verdich [7]

Answer:

a)54L/min

b)0.845

Explanation:

a) A x V=A_1V_1+ A_2V_2+A_3V_3

where suffix 1,2,3 refers to the three pipes.

            =27L/min+16L/min+11 L/min

            =54L/min

b) A x V=54L/min => \frac{\pi }{4} d^2 x v

   d= 2 cm

\frac{\pi }{4} d^2 x v = 54

v= \frac{4}{\pi } x \frac{54}{2^2}

-> A_1 x V_1=27L/min => \frac{\pi }{4} d_1^2 x v_1

d_1= 1.3cm

\frac{\pi }{4} d^2 x v_1 = 27

v_1= \frac{4}{\pi } x \frac{27}{1.3^2}

Next is to find the ratio of speed i.e \frac{v}{v_1}

\frac{4}{\pi } x \frac{54}{2^2} / \frac{4}{\pi } x \frac{27}{1.3^2} => \frac{54}{27} \frac{1.3^2}{2^2}

\frac{v}{v_1}= 0.845

olga2289 [7]

There are two particular cases, the first is when Object A is attracted to the neutral wall. This would indicate that the object is not neutral, as there is an attraction.

At the same time we know that Object A is attracted to an object B. And therefore, the load of A must be opposite to that of B. Remember that opposite charges attract each other. If the charge of object B is positive, then the charge of object A will be negative.

Option B is correct: It has a negative charge.

Car A has a mass of 1,200 kg and is traveling at a rate of 22 km/hr. It collides with car B. Car B has a mass of 1,900 kg and is
anastassius [24]

The car A has a mass of 1200 kg.

The car B has the mass of 1900 kg.

It is given that velocity of car  A is given as 22 Km/hr

The car B has the velocity of 25 Km/hr.

Let the mass of two bodies are denoted as  m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}

Let the velocity of cars A and B are denoted as v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}

The momentum before collision is-

                                                  p_{i} =m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2} v_{2}

[Here p stand for momentum.]

We are asked to calculate the final momentum of the system after collision.

The answer of the question is based law of conservation of  linear momentum.

As per law of conservation of linear momentum the sum total linear momentum for an isolated system is always constant.Hence irrespective of the type of collision[elastic and inelastic],the momentum of the system is always constant which is a universal truth.

Let after the collision the velocity of A and B are v'_{1} \ and\ v'_{2}

Hence the final momentum of the system is-

                                                        p_{f} = m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}

As per the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial and final momentum must be equal i.e      

                              p_{i} =p_{f}

                               m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2}v_{2} =m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}

Hence the option A  is right.
