To determine the object which could give the greatest impact we will apply the concept of momentum. The object that has the highest momentum will be the object that will impact the strongest. Our values are

Mass of Object A

$m_A=1.9 kg$

Velocity of object A

$v_A=8ms$

Mass of object B

$m_B=2 kg$

Velocity of object B

$v_B=5ms$

The general formula for momentum is the product between mass and velocity, then

$p = mv$

For each object we have then,

$p_A=m_Av_A=1.9 kg(8ms)=15.2kg \cdot m/s$

$p_B=m_Bv_B=2 kg(5ms)=10kg \cdot m/s$

Since the momentum of object A is greater than that of object B, then object A will make you feel force upon impact.

The field inside a charged parallel-plate capacitor is __________.

Bess [88]

<span>Uniform. A parallel plate capacitor is a simple arrangement of electrodes and dielectric to form a capacitor. Here two parallel conductive plates are used as electrodes with a medium or dielectric in between them. Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field, which is uniform.</span>

A 40 foot beam that weighs 125 pounds is supported at the two ends by walls. It also supports a 600 pound AC unit 5 feet from th

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) 588 pounds

Explanation:

According to the given conditions, we assume the beam to be simply supported at the ends carrying a uniformly distributed load of 125 pounds per feet and a point load of 600 pounds acting at 5 feet from the right support.

Referring the schematic:

<u>Moment about any point will be zero in equilibrium condition. </u>

∴Take moment about point L

$F_r\times 40=125\times 20+35\times 600$

$F_r=587.5 lb$

A single-turn circular loop of wire that has a radius of 3.5 cm lies in the plane perpendicular to a spatially uniform magnetic

Lena [83]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular loop, r = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

(a) During a 0.12-s time interval, the magnitude of the field increases uniformly from 0.2 T to 0.5 T. Due to the change in the magnetic field, an emf will induced in it. The magnitude of induced emf is given by :

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=-\pi r^2\dfrac{B_f-B_i}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=-\pi (0.035)^2\dfrac{0.5-0.2}{0.12}\\\\\epsilon=-9.62\times 10^{-3}\ volts$

So, the magnitude of the emf induced in the loop during the time interval is $9.62\times 10^{-3}\ V$ .

(b) The negative sign shows that the direction of induced emf in the loop is in anitclockwise direction.

Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a passenger jet flying with a speed of 1200 km/h at an altitude of 10 km to the drag fo

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

$2.267$

Explanation:

Drag force is given by

$F=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho Av^2C$

C = Drag coefficient is constant

A = Area is constant

$v_1$ = Velocity of the passenger jet = 1200 km/h = $\dfrac{1200}{3.6}\ \text{m/s}$

$v_2$ = Velocity of the prop plane = $\dfrac{1}{4}v_1$

$\rho_1$ = Density of the air where the jet was flying = $0.38\ \text{kg/m}^3$

$\rho_2$ = Density of the air where the prop plane was flying = $0.67\ \text{kg/m}^3$

$F\propto \rho v^2$

$\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\rho_1 v_1^2}{\rho_2 v_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{0.38 v_1^2}{0.67 (\dfrac{1}{4}v_1^2)}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=2.267$

The ratio of the drag forces is $2.267$ .
