In a 49 s interval, 595 hailstones strike a glass window of an area of 0.954 m at an angle of 25° to the window surface. Each ha

ilstone has a mass of 7 g and a speed of 4.5 m/s. If the collisions are elastic, what is the average force on the window?

Average force on the window: 0.32 N

Explanation:

The average force exerted on the window is given by Newton's second law

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta p$ is the net change in momentum of the hailstones in a time interval of $\Delta t$

In order to find the change in momentum, we have to consider only the component of the hailstone's momentum perpendicular to the window, therefore:

$p_i =m u sin \theta$ is the initial momentum of one hailstone, with

m = 7 g = 0.007 kg is the mass

$u=4.5 m/s$ is the initial speed

$\theta=25^{\circ}$ is the angle with the window

The final momentum is

$p_f = mv sin \theta$

where

v = 4.5 m/s is the final speed (the collision is elastic so the speed is equal, while the direction changes)

$\theta=-25^{\circ}$ (after the rebound, the direction has changed)

So the change in momentum of 1 hailstone is

$\Delta p = mv sin(-25^{\circ})-mu sin(25^{\circ})=-2mu sin(25^{\circ})=-0.0266 kg m/s$

We are interested only in the magnitude, so

$\Delta p = 0.0266 kg m/s$

There are 595 hailstones hitting the window in 49 s, so the total change in momentum is

$\Delta p = 595\cdot 0.0266 = 15.8 kg m/s$

And therefore, the average force on the window is

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{15.8}{49}=0.32 N$

Traveler A starts from rest at a constant acceleration of 6 m/s^2. Two seconds later, traveler B starts with an initial velocity

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3. 3.5 s

Explanation:

The position of traveller A is given by the equation:

$x_A(t) = \frac{1}{2}a t^2$

where

$a = 6 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of A

t is the time measured from when A started the motion

The position of traveller B instead is given by

$x_B(t) = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2$

where a (acceleration) is the same as traveller A, and

$u_B = 20 m/s$

is B's initial velocity. We can verify that the formula is correct by substituting t=2, and we get $x_B=0$ , which means that B starts its motion 2 seconds later.

Traveller B overtakes traveller A when the two positions are the same, so:

$x_A = x_B\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B t - 2u_B +\frac{1}{2}at^2 +2a-2at\\u_Bt-2at = 2u_B-2a\\t=\frac{2u_B-2a}{u_B-2a}=\frac{2(20)-2(6)}{20-2(6)}=3.5 s$

After Moseley's discovery in 1913, the periodic law stated that physical and chemical properties tend to repeat periodically whe

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option B.

Before Moseley's discovery in 1913, In Mendeleev's periodic table the elements rearranged with increasing atomic mass.

Mendeleev was not able to locate hydrogen atom and late isotopes found violate Mendeleev table. The biggest drawback was that the atomic mass was not regular when moving one element to another.

But Moseley's arranged element in the periodic table with increasing atomic number.

Think about the mice shown below. Using the space below numbered 1, describe what is happening from figure 1 to 3.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Natural selection is taking place.

Explanation:

As you can see, the lighter colored mice are more visible than their surroundings, so the hawk picks them off one by one. the brown mice on the other hand are less visible, blending in with their surroundings, so they are successful, and pass on the genes that allow them to survive better.

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s

allsm [11]

Answer:

a) $\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , b) $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

$\tau = F \cdot r$

$\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r$

$\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

$\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}$

$\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

$\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)$

$\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$t = 66.667\,s$

Since $t > 66.667\,s$ , then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

$\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$
