Answer:
A Chinese Geomancer
Explanation:
The compass was invented in China during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD where it was called the "south-governor" or "South Pointing Fish" (sīnán 司南). The magnetic compass was not, at first, used for navigation, but for geomancy and fortune-telling by the Chinese.
However, it is believed Flavio Gioia first invented the refined compass, and a monument has been erected in Almafi Italy to honor his invention. The magnetic compass was probably developed by combining the wind rose and the lodestone. From this device it is supposed the compass rose evolved.
Answer: a) 6.67cm/s b) 1/2
Explanation:
According to law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the momentum of the bodies after collision. Since the second body was initially at rest this means the initial velocity of the body is "zero".
Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies
u1 and u2 be their velocities respectively
m1 = 5.0g m2 = 10.0g u1 = 20.0cm/s u2 = 0cm/s
Since momentum = mass × velocity
The conservation of momentum of the body will be
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v
Note that the body will move with a common velocity (v) after collision which will serve as the velocity of each object after collision.
5(20) + 10(0) = (5+10)v
100 + 0 = 15v
v = 100/15
v = 6.67cm/s
Therefore the velocity of each object after the collision is 6.67cm/s
b) kinectic energy of the 10.0g object will be 1/2MV²
= 1/2×10×6.67²
= 222.44Joules
kinectic energy of the 5.0g object will be 1/2MV²
= 1/2×5×6.67²
= 222.44Joules
= 111.22Joules
Fraction of the initial kinetic transferred to the 10g object will be
111.22/222.44
= 1/2
M= ?
g=9.8 m/s (2)
h=20 m
Eg=362,600 J
Eg/mg
362,600 J/9.8 m/s (2) x 20 m
=1,850 m
Answer:
2156J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Height of lift = 10m
Mass = 22kg
Unknown:
Work done by the machine = ?
Solution:
Work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.
So;
Work done = Force x distance
Here;
Work done = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
Work done = 22 x 9.8 x 10 = 2156J
Answer:
38.4 m/s
Explanation:
a) at t = 3.2s. 
b) at t = 3.2 + Δt. 
c) As Δt approaches 0. We can find the velocity by the ratio of Δx/Δt






As Δt approaches 0, v = 38.4 + 0 = 38.4 m/s
