On June 9, 1983, the lower part of the Variegated Glacier in Alaska was observed to be moving at a rate of 64 m per day. What is

this speed in kilometers per hour?

(64 meter/day) x (1 kilometer / 1,000 meters) x (1 day / 24 hours) =

       (64 x 1 x 1) / (1,000 x 24)         (kilometer/hour)  = 

                     1/375  km/hour

                (0.002667 km/hour, rounded)

                 2-2/3 meters/hour

                 (8-ft 9-inches) per hour

Which of the following statements is FALSE about collisions? (Consider Newton's Laws an the Conservation of Momentum.)
pantera1 [17]

<u>The following statements are false about collisions: </u>

  • The velocity change of two respective objects involved in a collision will always be equal.
  • Total momentum is always conserved between any two objects involved in a collision.

Answer: Option B, and D

<u>Explanation: </u>

In any collisions, equal amount of net force will be acted upon the colliding objects due to the third law of Newton, irrespective of the significance difference in mass of the objects. Similarly, they can also have different acceleration values during collision of two objects if the masses are identical.

But the statements regarding the equal change in velocity of two objects respectively involved in collision always is false, as the conservation of momentum is applicable for isolated system only. So it is true for only isolated system and not in all the systems.

The same reason goes for falsifying the fourth statement which states that total momentum is always conserved between two objects involved in a collision as this statement is only true for isolated system where the conservation of momentum can be applied. Thus the second and fourth statement is false regarding collision.

Ethan pushes a wooden box across a carpeted floor. Then he pushes the same box across a smooth marble floor. Why does Ethan find
AysviL [449]

Answer:

A. The box experiences more friction on the carpeted floor

Explanation:

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it slides along a surface. The magnitude of the friction is given by

F=\mu mg

where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and \mu is the coefficient of friction, which depends on the type of material of the surface: the larger this coefficient, the stronger the friction, the more difficult is to push the box along the surface. Generally, a smooth surface has a lower coefficient of friction, while a rough surface has a larger coefficient of friction.

In this case, Ethan find it easier to push the box on the marble floor, because marble is smoother than the carpet and so friction is weaker, while for the carpeted floor the coefficient of friction is larger and so the friction is stronger, making it more difficult to push the box.

A tangential force of 1500 N exerted upon the upper surface of a cube of 20 cm edge. Calulate the shear modulus of the cube mata
I am Lyosha [343]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The shear modulus of the cube material is  7.5 \times 10^6  N/m^2. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Given that shearing force applied F = 1500 N  </em>

<em>Displacement produced x = 0.1 cm=0.001 m  </em>

<em>side of the cube =20 cm = 0.2 m </em>

Since the object is a cube the upper surface is  a square and it is on this surface the shearing  

force is applied

<em>area of the upper surface A=a \times a=(20 \times 10^(^-^2^))^2=400 \times 10^(^-^4^) m</em>

<em>shear strain = tan⁡ θ = \frac {x}{h} = \frac {0.001}{0.2} =0.005   </em>

<em>shearing stress = \frac {F}{A} = \frac{1500}{0.04} = 37500 N </em>

<em>modulus of rigidity η = \frac{(shearing \ stress)}{(shearing \  strain)}</em>

<em>= \frac{37500}{0.005}=7.5 \times 10^6  N/m^2</em>
