Because the soles of your shoes have cleats, you can exert a forward force of 100 N even on slippery ice. A 10-kg picnic cooler

is at rest on a frozen pond, and you want to get it to shore, up the bank, and stuck in the snow. From past experience, you know that, in order to move up the bank and stick, the cooler needs to be moving at 3.0 m/s at the instant it starts up the bank. Standing some distance from the cooler and not wanting to walk to it, you decide to throw 1.0-kg snowballs at it to get it moving. If each snowball smashes into the cooler in a totally inelastic collision, what minimum number of snowballs must you throw?

Answer:

you must throw 3 snowballs

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the concepts of conservation of the moment, let's define the system as formed by the refrigerator and all the snowballs. Let's write the moment

Initial. Before bumping that refrigerator

          p₀ = n m v₀

Where n is the snowball number

Final. When the refrigerator moves

         pf = (n m + M) v

The moment is preserved because the forces during the crash are internal

        n m v₀ = (n m + M) v

        n m (v₀ - v) = M v

        n = M/m    v/(vo-v)

Let's look for the initial velocity of the balls, suppose the person throws them with the maximum force if it slides in the snow (F = 100N), let's use the second law and Newton

          F = m a

          a = F / m

The distance the ball travels from zero speed to maximum speed is the extension of the arm (x = 1 m), let's look kinematically for the speed of the balls when leaving the arm

          v₁² = v₀² + 2 a x

          v₁² = 0+ 2 (100/1) 1

          v₁ = 14.14 m / s

This is the initial speed for the crash

         v₀ = v = 14.14 m / s

  Let's calculate

           n = M/m   v/ (v₀-v)

           n = 10/1   3 / (14.14 -3)

          n = 2.7 balls

you must throw 3 snowballs

Two cellists, one seated directly behind the other in an orchestra, play the same 220-Hz note for the conductor who is directly
Llana [10]

Answer:

d= 1.56 m

Explanation:

In order to have a constructive interference, the path difference between the sources of the sound, must be equal to an even multiple of the semi-wavelength, as follows:

⇒ d = d₂ - d₁ = 2n*(λ/2)

The minimum possible value for this distance, is when n=1, as it can be seen here:

dmin = λ

In any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the wave speed, the frequency and the wavelength:

v = λ*f

If v = vsound = 343 m/s, and f = 220 1/s, we can solve for λ:

λ =\frac{v}{f} =  \frac{343 m/s}{220(1/s)} = 1.56 m

⇒ dmin =λ = 1.56 m

A shopper pushes a grocery cart 20.0 m at constant speed on level ground, against a 35.0 n frictional force. he pushes in a dire
alexandr1967 [171]

Work is calculated as the product of Force, Distance, and angular motion. In this case, the work done by gravity is perpendicular to the motion of the cart, so θ = 90°

 and W=Fdcosθ

W=35.0 N x 20.0 m x cos90

W=0 J

This means that work done perpendicular to the direction of the motion is always zero.

A bus is traveling with a uniform acceleration of 2.75 meters/second2. If the initial velocity of the bus is 16.5 meters/second,
Kaylis [27]
<span>The velocity will be 41.25 m/s2 after 9 seconds. To find velocity after a specific time period, multiply the acceleration (2.75) times the number of seconds (9) to receive 24.75 m/s, then add that to the initial velocity of 16.5 m/s. 24.75 + 16.5 = 41.25 m/s2.</span>

Choose the appropriate description for an electron.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:negative charge, small relative mass, and found outside the nucleus

Explanation:

The electron is one of the subatomic particles. It is negatively charged and has a relatively small or somewhat negligible mass. It is found outside the nucleus on the orbits. The electron is bound to the nucleus by electrostatic forces of attraction in the Bohr's model of the atom.
