Answer:

<u>Momentum of 2 kg ball:</u>

velocity = 6 m/s

momentum (p)= mv

p = (2)(6) kg m/s

p = 12 kg m/s

kg m/s can also be written as 'N'

Force of 2 kg ball = 12 N

<u>Momentum of 3 kg ball:</u>

velocity = 4 m/s

momentum (p) = mv

p = (3)(4)

p = 12 kg m/s

Since kg m/s can also be written as 'N'

Force of 3 kg ball = 12 N

Now that we have the force applied by both the balls, we can find the resultant force using vector addition

2 kg ball's vector = -12 i

3 kg ball's vector = -12 j

Adding both the vectors, we get:

Resultant vector = -12 i -12 j

The speed both the balls will move at, is the magnitude of the resultant vector

Magnitude of the resultant vector:

|R|² = (i vector)² + (j vector)²

|R|² = (-12)² + (-12)²

|R|² = 144 + 144

|R|² = 288

|R| = √288

|R| = 17 m/s (approx)

The balls will move at a velocity of 17 m/s

<u>Direction of the Common velocity:</u>

TanΘ = Opposite / Adjacent

TanΘ = 12 / 12

Tan Θ = 1

Θ = Arctan(1)

Θ = 45 degrees

Therefore, the common velocity will be 45 degrees down from the horizontal

Look at the image of a salad with chicken on a counter top .in which direction is the thermal energy moving?

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Well,

Explanation:

In this image, the thermal energy could be going both in an upwards and downwards direction. The chicken passes thermal energy to the salad under it. But at the same time, it is releasing smoke upwards, meaning it is also releasing thermal energy upwards.

A turtle and a rabbit are in a 150 meter race. The rabbit decides to give the turtle a 1 minute head start. The turtle moves at

yan [13]

Answer:

a) $s_{T} = 30\,m$ , b) $t = 5\,min$ , c) $\Delta t = 6.667\,s$ , d) $\Delta s_{R} = 33.333\,m$ , e) $t' = 11.667\,s$ , f) The rabbit won the race.

Explanation:

a) As turtle moves at constant speed, its position is determined by the following formula:

$s_{T} = v_{T}\cdot t$

Where:

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$v_{T}$ - Velocity of the turtle, measured in meters per second.

$s_{T}$ - Position of the turtle, measured in meters.

Then, the position of the turtle when the rabbit starts to run is:

$s_{T} = \left(0.5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (60\,s)$

$s_{T} = 30\,m$

The position of the turtle when the rabbit starts to run is 30 meters.

b) The time needed for the turtle to finish the race is:

$t = \frac{s_{T}}{v_{T}}$

$t = \frac{150\,m}{0.5\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$t = 300\,s$

$t = 5\,min$

The time needed for the turtle to finish the race is 5 minutes.

c) As rabbit experiments a constant acceleration until maximum velocity is reached and moves at constant speed afterwards, the time required to reach such speed is:

$v_{R} = v_{o,R} + a_{R}\cdot \Delta t$

Where:

$v_{R}$ - Final velocity of the rabbit, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o,R}$ - Initial velocity of the rabbit, measured in meters per second.

$a_{R}$ - Acceleration of the rabbit, measured in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

$\Delta t$ - Running time, measured in second.

$\Delta t = \frac{v_{R}-v_{o,R}}{a_{R}}$

$\Delta t = \frac{10\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}}{1.50\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$\Delta t = 6.667\,s$

The time taken by the rabbit to reach maximum speed is 6.667 s.

d) On the other hand, the position reached by the rabbit when maximum speed is reached is determined by the following equation of motion:

$v_{R}^{2} = v_{o,R}^{2} + 2\cdot a_{R}\cdot \Delta s_{R}$

$\Delta s_{R} = \frac{v_{R}^{2}-v_{o,R}^{2}}{2\cdot a_{R}}$

$\Delta s_{R} = \frac{v_{R}^{2}-v_{o,R}^{2}}{2\cdot a_{R}}$

Where $\Delta s_{R}$ is the travelled distance of the rabbit from rest to maximum speed.

$\Delta s_{R} = \frac{\left(10\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(1.50\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\Delta s_{R} = 33.333\,m$

The distance travelled by the rabbit from rest to maximum speed is 33.333 meters.

e) The time required for the rabbit to finish the race can be determined by the following expression:

$t' = \frac{\Delta s_{R}}{v_{R}}$

$t' = \frac{150\,m-33.333\,m}{10\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$t' = 11.667\,s$

The time required for the rabbit from rest to maximum speed is 11.667 seconds.

f) The animal with the lowest time wins the race. Now, each running time is determined:

Turtle:

$t_{T} = 300\,s$

Rabbit:

$t_{R} = 60\,s + 6.667\,s + 11.667\,s$

$t_{R} = 78.334\,s$

The rabbit won the race as $t_{R} < t_{T}$ .

Light of wavelength 650 nm is normally incident on the rear of a grating. The first bright fringe (other than the central one) i

koban [17]

Answer:

A

$N = 1340.86 \ slits / cm$

B

$\theta = 15.7^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 650 \ nm = 650 *10^{-9} \ m$

The angle of first bright fringe is $\theta = 5^o$

The order of the fringe considered is n =1

Generally the condition for constructive interference is

$dsin (\theta ) = n * \lambda$

=> $d = \frac{1 * 650 *10^{-9 }}{ sin(5)}$

=> $d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \ m$

Converting to cm

$d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \ m = 7.458 *10^{-6} * 100 = 0.0007458 \ cm$

Generally the number of grating pre centimeter is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{1}{d}$

=> $N = \frac{1}{0.0007458}$

=> $N = 1340.86 \ slits / cm$

Considering question B

From the question we are told that

The first wavelength is $\lambda_1 = 650 \ nm = 650 *10^{-9} \ m$

The second wavelength is $\lambda_2 = 429 \ m = 420 *10^{-9 } \ m$

The order of the fringe is $n = 2$

The grating is $N = 5000 \ slits / cm$

Generally the slit width is mathematically represented as

$d = \frac{1}{N }$

=> $d = \frac{1}{ 5000 }$

=> $d = 0.0002 \ c m = 2.0 *10^{-6} \ m$

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the first ray is mathematically represented as

$d sin(\theta_1) = n * \lambda_1$

=> $\theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * \lambda }{d}]$

=> $\theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 650 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]$

=> $\theta_1 = 40.5 ^o$

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the second ray is mathematically represented as

$d sin(\theta_2) = n * \lambda_2$

=> $\theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * \lambda_1 }{d}]$

=> $\theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 420 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]$

=> $\theta_2 = 24.8 ^o$

Generally the angular separation is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \theta_1 - \theta_1$

=> $\theta = 42.5^o - 24.8^o$

=> $\theta = 15.7^o$
