You find yourself in the middle of a frozen lake with a surface so slippery (ms = mk = 0) you cannot walk. However, you happen t

o have several rocks in your pocket. The ice is extremely hard. It cannot be chipped, and the rocks slip on it just as much as your feet do. Can you think of a way to get to shore? Use pictures, forces, and Newton’s laws to explain your reasoning.

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.
miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

How deep is the event horizon
Basile [38]

Explanation:

The supermassive black holes that the Event Horizon Telescope is observing are far larger; Sagittarius A*, at the center of the Milky Way, is about 4.3 million times the mass of our sun and has a diameter of about 7.9 million miles (12.7 million km), while M87 at the heart of the Virgo A galaxy is about 6 billion solar ..

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from the top to the bottom of a hill, reaching a translational speed of 6.1 m/s. Ignore f
tatiyna

Answer:

a) h=3.16 m, b)  v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Starting point. Highest on the hill

           Em₀ = U = mg h

final point. Lowest point

           Em_{f} = K

Scientific energy has two parts, one of translation of center of mass (center of the sphere) and one of stationery, the sphere

           K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} w²

angular and linear speed are related

           v = w r

           w = v / r

            K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} v_{cm }^{2} / r²

            Em_{f} = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r2)

as there are no friction losses, mechanical energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_{f}

             mg h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r²)         (1)

             h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + I_{cm} / mr²)

for the moment of inertia of a basketball we can approximate it to a spherical shell

             I_{cm} = ⅔ m r²

we substitute

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + ⅔ mr² / mr²)

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2}/g    5/3

             h = 5/6 v_{cm }^{2} / g

           

let's calculate

           h = 5/6 6.1 2 / 9.8

           h = 3.16 m

b) this part of the exercise we solve the speed of equation 1

          v_{cm }^{2} = 2m gh / (1 + I_{cm} / r²)

in this case the object is a frozen juice container, which we can simulate a solid cylinder with moment of inertia

              I_{cm} = ½ m r²

we substitute

             v_{cm } = √ [2gh / (1 + ½)]

             v_{cm } = √(4/3 gh)

let's calculate

             v_{cm } = √ (4/3 9.8 3.16)

             v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

North Dakota Electric Company estimates its demand trend line​ (in millions of kilowatt​ hours) to​ be: D​ = 75.0 ​+ 0.45​Q, whe
Alborosie

Answer:

The demand forecast for winter is 96.36 millions KWH

The demand forecast for spring is 145.08 millions KWH

The demand forecast for summer is 169.89 millions KWH

The demand forecast for fall is 73.08 millions KWH

Explanation:

Given that,

The demand trend line​ is

D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors

We need to calculate the demand forecast for winter

Using given formula

D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors

Put the value into the formula

D=(75.0+0.45\times101)\times0.80

D=96.36\ millions\ KWH

We need to calculate the demand forecast for spring

Using given formula

D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors

Put the value into the formula

D=(75.0+0.45\times102)\times1.20

D=145.08\ millions\ KWH

We need to calculate the demand forecast for summer

Using given formula

D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors

Put the value into the formula

D=(75.0+0.45\times103)\times1.40

D=169.89\ millions KWH

We need to calculate the demand forecast for fall

Using given formula

D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors

Put the value into the formula

D=(75.0+0.45\times104)\times0.60

D=73.08\ millions KWH

Hence, The demand forecast for winter is 96.36 millions KWH

The demand forecast for spring is 145.08 millions KWH

The demand forecast for summer is 169.89 millions KWH

The demand forecast for fall is 73.08 millions KWH
