Which of the mixtures in figure 1 is a solution?

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100

balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be <em>TRUE</em>.

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s = (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = <em>-- 0.4 m/s</em>

Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

A runner traveling with an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s accelerates at a constant rate of 0.8 m/s2fora time of 2.0 s.(a).What is

pychu [463]

Answer:

The final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is 2.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the runner, u = 1.1 m/s

constant acceleration, a = 0.8 m/s²

time of motion, t = 2.0 s

The velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is calculate as;

$v = u + at$

where;

v is the final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time;

v = 1.1 + (0.8)(2)

v = 2.7 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is 2.7 m/s.

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is weighted average mass

madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The mass written on the periodic table is an average atomic mass taken from all known isotopes of an element. This average is a weighted average, meaning the isotope's relative abundance changes its impact on the final average. The reason this is done is because there is no set mass for an element.

A shovel is the third class lever

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

In a third-class lever, the effort force lies between the resistance force and the fulcrum. Some kinds of garden tools are examples of third-class levers. When you use a shovel, for example, you hold one end steady to act as the fulcrum, and you use your other hand to pull up on a load of dirt.
