12. A boy of mass 50 kg running 5m/s jumps on to a 20kg trolley

1 answer:

atroni [7]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(50)(5) + (20)(1.5) = (50 + 20) v

v = 4

The final velocity is 4 m/s.

You are holding a finishing sander with your right hand. THe sander has a flywheel which spins counterclockwise as seen from beh

ryzh [129]

Answer:

c. turn downward

Explanation:

From the information given:

To find the tendency of the sander;

We need to apply the right-hand rule torque; whereby we consider the direction of the flywheel, the direction at which the torque is acting, and the movement of the sander toward the right.

Since the flywheel of the sander is in counterclockwise movement, hence the torque direction will be outward placing on the wall. However, provided that the movement of the sander is toward the right, then there exists an opposite force that turns downward which showcases the tendency in the sander is downward.

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is $\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta _ i = 56^o$

The refractive index of violet light in diamond is $n_v = 2.46$

The refractive index of red light in diamond is $n_r = 2.41$

The wavelength of violet light is $\lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m$

The wavelength of red light is $\lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m$

Snell's Law can be represented mathematically as

$\frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n$

Where $\theta_r$ is the angle of refraction

=> $sin \theta_r = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}$

Now considering violet light

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}$

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = 0.337$

$\theta_r__{v}} = sin ^{-1} (0.337)$

$\theta_r__{v}} = 19.69^o$

Now considering red light

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}$

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = 0.344$

$\theta_r__{R}} = sin ^{-1} (0.344)$

$\theta_r__{R}} = 20.12^o$

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} - \theta_r__{V}}$

substituting values

$\Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69$

$\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

With each beat of your heart the aortic valve opens and closes. The valve opens and closes very rapidly, with a peak velocity as

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

|Δf| = 37.3 kHz

Explanation:

given,

peak velocity = 4 m/s

speed of the sound = 1500 m/s

frequency = 7 MHz

$v = C\dfrac{\pm \dlta f}{2 f_0}$

$\delta f = \pm 2 f_0 (\dfrac{V}{C})$

$\delta f = \pm 2\times 7 (\dfrac{4}{1500})$

$=\pm 0.0373 MHz$

= 37.3 kHz

|Δf| = 37.3 kHz

hence, frequency shift between the opening and closing valve is 37.3 kHz
