TV announcer intend to mean "chnage of speed or velocity" by "High rate of speed" and in Physics domain it would mean "acceleration"

Explanation:

It is common to observe TV announcer saying certain events were occurring “with a high rate of speed”. By saying this they intend to mean that the event was rapid in its occurrence. It can also mean that the change in speed of the happening was very rapid/fast.

However, the same terms connote altogether a different expression in Physics domains. Speed is a scalar quantity with no direction. Hence most of the times speed mean velocity when the direction is also provided. “high rate of speed” would mean a change of velocity per unit time which is acceleration. Hence in Physics domain, the term would stand for acceleration.

A 26-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 630 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

  F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

          I = F t = Δp

To find the time we use that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), let's use the uniform movement ratio

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

Reduce SI system

          m = 26 g ( 1 kg/1000g) = 26 10⁻³ kg

          d = 50 mm ( 1m/ 1000 mm) = 50 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate

         t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

         t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

With this value we use the momentum and momentum relationship

        F t = m v - m v₀

As the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

       F = m (v-vo) / t

       F = 26 10⁻³ (-500 - 630) / 8.33 10⁻⁵

       F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

The negative sign indicates that the force is exerted against the bullet

A ball with a mass of 170 g which contains 3.80×108 excess electrons is dropped into a vertical shaft with a height of 145 m . A
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A. F=6.65*10^{-10}N

B. south - north

Explanation:

A) We use the Lorentz force

F = qv X B

|F| = qvB

to calculate the magnitude of the force we need the speed of the of the ball.

v_{f}^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2gy\\v_{f}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})(145m)}=53.31\frac{m}{s}

and by replacing in the formula for the magnitude of the force we have (taking into account the excess of electrons)

F=(3.8*10^{8})(1.602*10^{-19}C)(53.31\frac{m}{s})(0.205T)=6.65*10^{-10}N

B)

b.  south - north (by the rigth hand rule)

I hope this is usefull for you

Two hockey pucks with mass 0.1 kg slide across the ice and collide. Before
RideAnS [48]

The velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

<h3>What is the conservation of momentum?</h3>

The principle of the conservation of the linear momentum states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now given that;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(0.1 * 15) - (0.1 * 12) = 0.1* v + (0.1 * 15)

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.1v + 1.5

0.3 - 1.5 = 0.1v

v = -1.2/0.1

v = - 12 m/s

Hence, the velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

For each of the following, describe the relationship as directly or inversely proportional:
Maksim231197 [3]
The relationships can best be described as follows:
As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. <span>The greater the </span>energy<span>, the larger the frequency </span>and<span> the shorter (smaller) the </span>wavelength<span>. </span>

<span>a) wavelength vs. frequency = inversely proportional
b) wavelength vs. energy = inversely proportional
c) frequency vs. energy = directly proportional

Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>

Since entropy is about how energy is shared, it is important to be able to identify places where energy can be put, or degrees o
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Please see answer in explanation

Explanation:

1. Since each molecule has three kinetic degrees of freedom (can move in three independent directions), the gas must have 3N DoFs.

2. Each molecule has the three kinetic degrees of freedom the monotonic atom has ­­ moving without rotating ­­ but it can also spin. There are three axes for it to spin around so we would expect three rotational degrees of freedom, but as were as above, the one about the diatomic molecule's axis doesn't count because of quantum. So we have two rotational DoFs and three kinetic, for a total of 5 per molecules. So the gas will have 5N DoFs.

3.When a spring vibrates it has two DoFs, its KE and its PE, so adding 1 vibration adds 2 DoFs per molecule, giving 7 per molecule and giving thegas 7N DoFs.
