Answer:

If we consider a system where the y-axis as the South-North line, and the x-axis as the West-East line (where North and East are the positive sides)

We know that the sun goes from East to West, so in our system, the sun goes from the positive side of the x-axis to the negative side of the x-axis.

Where we would see this if we were standing right in the equator line.

If we where in other point of the planet, the Sun will stil move from East to West, but it will have a little tilt along the path, so we will have a little displacement in the y-axis. This displacement will depend on where we are, if we are at the North of the equator, we will se that the sun seems to go a little towards South as it goes to the West side.

zhenek [66]

Answer: a) 4.7 mi/hr.  b) 86,500 lbs. mi²/Hr²

Explanation:

As in any collision, under the assumption that no external forces exist during the very small collision time, momentum must be conserved.

If the collision is fully inelastic, both masses continue coupled each other as a single mass, with a single speed.

So, we can write the following:

p₁ = p₂ ⇒m₁.v₁ + m₂.v₂ = (m₁ + m₂). vf

Replacing by the values, and solving for vf, we get:

vf = (200,000 lbs. 4 mi/hr + 100,000 lbs. 6 mi/hr) / 300,000 lbs = 4.7 mi/hr

If the track is horizontal, this means that thre is no change in gravitational potential energy, so any loss of energy must be kinetic energy.

Before the collision, the total kinetic energy of the system was the following:

K₁ = 1/2 (m₁.v₁² + m₂.v₂²) = 3,400,000 lbs. mi² / hr²

After the collision, total kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 ((m₁ + m₂) vf²) = 3,313,500 lbs. mi²/hr²

So we have an Energy loss, equal to the difference between initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy, as follows:

DE = K₁ - K₂ = 86,500 lbs. mi² / hr²

This loss is due to the impact, and is represented by the work done by friction forces (internal) during the impact.

. A laser beam shines along the surface of a block of transparent material (see Fig. E33.8). Half of the beam goes straight to a
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

          v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

         n = c / v

         

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

         

         v = d / t

         v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

         v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

        n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

        n = 1,875

Two ball bearings of mass m each moving in opposite directins with equal speed v collide head on with each other.predict the out
posledela

Yo sup??

since the collision is elastic therefore we can say that the two balls will then move in opposite direction.

If ball 1 was moving from east to west then after collision it will move from west to east

and if ball 2 was moving from west to east then it will start moving from east to west.

Hope this helps.

a 100g ice cube at 0 degrees celsius is placed in 650 grams of water at 25 degrees celsius. When the mixture reaches equillibriu
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion of water is 334.88 Joules per gram of water.

Explanation:

Let the latent heat of ice be 'x' J/g

1) Thus heat absorbed by 100 gram of ice to get converted into water equals

Q_1=100\times x

2) heat energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 25 degree Celsius equals

Q_2=100\times 4.186\times 11=4604.6Joules

Thus total energy needed equals Q_1+Q_2=100x+4604.6

3) Heat energy released by the decrease in the temperature of water from 25 to 11 degree Celsius is

Q_3=650\times 4.186\times (25-11)\\\\Q_{3}=38092.6Joules

Now by conservation of energy we have

Q_1+Q_2=Q_3\\\\100x+4604.6=38092.6\\\\\therefore x=\frac{38092.6-4604.6}{100}=334.88J/g
