Starting from rest, a 1.8 x 10^-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exe

rts an average upward force of 0.42 N on it. This force does +2.7 x 10^-4 J of work on the flea. (a) What is the flea's speed when it leaves the ground? (b) How far upward does the flea move while it is pushing off? Ignore both air resistance and the flea's weight.

Answer:

a)

1.73 m/s

b)

6.43 x 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

m = mass of the flea = 1.8 x 10⁻⁴ kg

v₀ = initial speed of the flea = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the flea

W = work done by the force on the flea = 2.7 x 10⁻⁴ J

Using work-change in kinetic energy, Work done is given as

W = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

Inserting the values

2.7 x 10⁻⁴ = (0.5) (1.8 x 10⁻⁴) (v² - 0²)

v = 1.73 m/s

b)

d = distance moved by the flea while pushing off

F = Upward force applied on the flea by ground = 0.42 N

Work done is also given as

W = F d

2.7 x 10⁻⁴ = (0.42) d

d = 6.43 x 10⁻⁴ m

A 0.140-kg baseball is dropped from rest. It has a speed of 1.20 m/s just before it hits the ground, and it rebounds with an upw
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

22 N upward

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying newton's second law of motion

F = m(v-u)/t....................... Equation 1

Where F = Average force exerted by the ground on the ball, m = mass of the baseball, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time of contact

Note: Let upward be negative and downward be positive

Given: m = 0.14 kg, v = -1.00 m/s, u = 1.2 m/s, t = 0.014 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.14(-1-1.2)/0.014

F = 0.14(-2.2)/0.014

F = 10(-2.2)

F = -22 N

Note the negative sign shows that the force act upward

If light moves at a speed of 299,792,458 m/s, how long will it take light to move a distance of 1,000 km
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

change 1000km into Metre

1000km=1000000 M

speed= distance/time

time=distance/speed

time=1000000/299792458

time= 0.0033second

Many television sets show 25 images, called 'frames, each second. What is the time interval between one
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Given,

Frame rate = 25 frames per second

To find,

Time interval between one frame and the next.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process.

Now,

Number of frames = 25

Total time taken to display the given number of frames (ie. 25 frames) = 1 second

To calculate the time interval between one frame and next, we need to divide the time taken to display total number of frames by total number of frames.

So,

Time interval between one frame and next :

= Time taken to display total number of frames / Total frames

= 1/25

= 0.04 second

Hence, time interval between one frame and next is 0.04 second.

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s
