A 4.0-kg falcon catches a 1.0-kg dove from behind in midair. What is their velocity after impact if the falcon’s velocity is ini

tially 3.0 m/s and the dove’s velocity is 2.0 m/s in the same direction?

Answer:

V = 2.8 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of falcon, $m_1=4\ kg$

Mass of dove, $m_2=1\ kg$

Initial velocity of falcon, $u_1=3\ m/s$

Initial velocity of dove, $u_2=2\ m/s$

When the falcon catches the dove, the momentum remains conserved. Using the formula for the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

V is the velocity after impact

$V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$V=\dfrac{4\times 3+1\times 2}{(4+1)}$

V = 2.8 m/s

So, their velocity after the impact is 2.8 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball of moist clay falls 17.3 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the a

Answer:

Acceleration, $767.08\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height from a ball falls the ground, h = 17.3 m

It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping.

We need to find the average acceleration the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground.

Firstly, find the velocity when it reached the ground. So,

$v^2=u^2+2ah$

u = initial velocity=0 m/s

a = acceleration=g

$v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 17.3} \\\\v=18.41\ m/s$

It is in negative direction, u = -18.41 m/s

Let a is average acceleration of the ball. Consider, v = and u = -18.41 m/s.

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-18.41}{24\times 10^{-3}}\\\\a=767.08\ m/s^2$

So, the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact is $767.08\ m/s^2$ .

A certain superconducting magnet in the form of a solenoid of length 0.56 m can generate a magnetic field of 6.5 T in its core w

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The value is $N =36203 \ turns$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the solenoid is $l = 0.56 \ m$

The magnetic field is $B = 6.5 \ T$

The current is $I = 80 \ A$

The desired temperature is $T = 4.2 \ K$

Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{\mu_o * N * I }{L }$

=> $N = \frac{B * L }{\mu_o * I }$

Here $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value

$\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2$

So

$N = \frac{6.5 * 0.56 }{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 80 }$

=> $N =36203 \ turns$

3. Which planet, other than Earth, is confirmed to have water on it?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Mars.

Water exists as small amounts of ice on Mars and as water vapor. It is suspected that Mars used to have flowing water on it, but that there is none left now.
