A 5.0-kg clay putty ball and a 10.0-kg medicine ball are headed towards each other. Both have the same speed of 20 m/s. If they

collide perfectly inelastically, what approximately is the speed of the blob of clay and ball immediately after the collision?

Answer:

- 3.33 m /s

Explanation:

m1 = 5 kg

m2 = 10 kg

u1 = 10 m/s

u2 = - 10 m/s

Let the velocity of the combination of the blob is v.

Use the conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=\left ( m_{1}+m_{2} \right )v

5 x 10 - 10 x 10 = (5 + 10)v

50 - 100 = 15 v

v = - 3.33 m /s

Thus, the velocity of the blob after sticking together is - 3.33 m/s.

How much time is needed to produce 720 Joules of work if 90 watts of power is used?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done.

power is measured in Watts (W) , when the work done is measured in Joules (J) and time in seconds

by the definition of power,

Power=\frac{work.done}{time.taken} \\ \\ time.taken=\frac{work.done}{power}\\=\frac{720J }{90W} \\ \\ =8 s

If the rectangular barge is 3.0 m by 20.0 m and sits 0.70 m deep in the harbor, how deep will it sit in the river?
leva [86]

The harbour contains salt water while the river contains fresh water. So assuming that the densities of fresh water and salt water are:

density (salt water) = 1029 kg / m^3

density (fresh water) = 1000 kg / m^3

The amount of water (in mass) displaced by the barge should be equal in two waters.

mass displaced (salt water) = mass displaced (fresh water)

Since mass is also the product of density and volume, therefore:

<span>[density * volume]_salt water = [density * volume]_fresh water                 ---> 1</span>

 

First we calculate the amount of volume displaced in the harbour (salt water):

V = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * 0.70 m

V = 42 m^3 of salt water

Plugging in the values into equation 1:

1029 kg / m^3 * 42 m^3 = 1000 kg/m^3 * Volume fresh water

Volume fresh water displaced = 43.218 m^3

 

Therefore the depth of the barge in the river is:

43.218 m^3 = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * h

<span>h = 0.72 m        (ANSWER)</span>

An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5.5-cm diameter sphere. The egg is initially at a uniform temperature of 8°C and is dro
kupik [55]

Answer:

a) Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW, b) \Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}

Explanation:

a) The heat transfered to the egg is computed by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

Q_{in} +U_{sys,1} - U_{sys,2} = 0

Q_{in} = U_{sys,2} - U_{sys,1}

Q_{in} = \rho_{egg}\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot r^{3}\right)\cdot c \cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})

Q_{in} = \left(1020\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\right)\cdot (0.025\,m)^{3}\cdot \left(3.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (70\,^{\textdegree}C - 8\,^{\textdegree}C)

Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW

b) The amount of entropy generation is determined by the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

\Delta S = \frac{Q_{in}}{T_{in}}

\Delta S = \frac{13.742\,kJ}{370.15\,K}

\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}

A camera has a single converging lens with a fixed focal length f. (a) How far should the lens be from the film (or in a present
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a) Due to the characteristic that a converging lens focuses light rays from infinity and parallel to its main axis. Therefore, the lens should be placed at a distance "f" from the film, in this way it will form the image of the object placed at infinity in said film.

b) Since the converging lens produces an image of an object placed at a distance of 2f, the lens must be placed at the same distance (2f), so that this object that is placed at a distance of 2f is focused.
