A 250 kg flatcar 25 m long is moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s along horizontal frictionless rails. A 61 kg worker starts walking

from one end of the car to the other in the direction of motion, with speed 2.0 m/s with respect to the car. In the time it takes for him to reach the other end, how far has the flatcar moved?

Answer:

x=31.09m

Explanation:

p1=p2

The momentum of flatcar and the momentum of the worker so

The velocity of the worker is:

m_{f}*v_{f}=m_{w}*v_{w}\\\\v_{f}=\frac{m_{f}*v_{f}}{m_{w}}\\v_{f}=\frac{61kg*3.0\frac{m}{s}}{250kg}\\v_{f}=0.732\frac{m}{s}

The total motion has a total velocity and is

Vt=v_{w}+v_{f}\\Vt=0.732\frac{m}{s}+3.0\frac{m}{s}\\Vt=3.732\frac{m}{s}

The time the worker take walking is

t=\frac{x}{v_{w}}\\t=\frac{25m}{3\frac{m}{s}}=8.33s

Now the total time and the total velocity determinate the motion of tha flatcar how far has moved

x=t*Vt\\x=8.33s*3.732\frac{m}{s} \\x=31.09m

A 6.30 kg piece of solid copper metal at an initial temperature T is placed with 2.00 kg of ice that is initially at -16.0 ∘C. T
Viktor [21]

Answer:

179 degree

Explanation:

Solid copper will lose heat to warm up and melt ice . Since all the ice has not melted so final temperature of mixture will be zero.

heat gained by ice to reach temperature of zero degree

= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x rise of temp  

= 2  x 2093 x 16 = 66976 J

Heat gained to melt 1.1. kg of ice

mass x latent heat of ice

1.1 x 334000

= 367400

total heat

= 367400 + 66976

=434376

Heat lost by copper

= 6.3 x 385 x T

where 385 is specific heat of copper and T is initial temperature

heat lost = heat gained

6.3 x 385 T = 434376

T = 434376 / (6.3 x 385)

= 179 degree .

Imagine a star very similar to our own Sun in both size and mass. This star moves very slightly back and forth in the sky once e
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

(c) The planet must have a mass about the same as the mass of Jupiter,

(d) The planet must be closer to the star than Earth is to the Sun.

Explanation:

Astrometry is the ideal method to detect high-mass planets that are close to their star. That is because the gravitational effect that it will have the planet over its host star will be greater. This effect can be seen as a wobble in the star as a consequence of how they orbit a common center of mass¹. The center of mass will be closer to the most massive object, So, in the case of an extrasolar planet with masses like Jupiter (Jovian), this point will be a little bit farther from the star, making the wobble more notable than in a system with a low-mass planet.          

Key terms:

Astrometry: study of the position of the stars over time in the sky.

¹Center of mass: a geometrical point in which the mass from a whole system is summed.

Es lo mismo una energía renovable que una energía limpia?
Westkost [7]
La energía limpia es energía libre de carbono que genera poca o ninguna emisión de gases de efecto invernadero. ... La energía renovable es la energía que proviene de recursos que se reponen naturalmente, como la luz solar, el viento, el agua y el calor geotérmico.
