A lead pellet of mass 10.0g is shot horizontally into a stationary wooden block of mass 100g. The pellet hits the block with an

impact velocity of 250ms^–1. It embeds itself in the block and it does not emerge.
What will be the speed of the block immediately after the pellet is embedded?

qaws [65]

A non-example of force would be something that stay sill like a balloon in the air..... taste, smell, feel, texture, color, opinion, faith, hope, sincerity, honest, speed, momentum, altitude, volume, loudness, area, length, acidity, obesity, nationalism, current, resistance, viscosity, wavelength, flow, rate, frequency, albedo, diameter, age, temperature, acceleration, body mass index, salinity, specific, specific gravity, consciousness, intelligence, refraction index, mass, time, date rate, switching speed, libido, focal length, and latency are not force. And even there are many other things that also are not force, too.

A chair of weight 70.0 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F =

Annette [7]

Answer:

94.67 N

Explanation:

Consider a free body diagram with force, F of 41 N applied at an angle of 37 degrees while the weight acts downwards. Resolving the force into vertical and horizontal components, we obtain a free body diagram attached.

At equilibrium, normal reaction is equal to the sum of the weight and the vertical component of the force applied. Applying the condition of equilibrium along the vertical direction.

$\begin{array}{l}\\\Sigma {F_y} = 0\\\\N - W - F\sin \theta = 0\\\\N = W + F\sin \theta \\\end{array}$

Substituting 70 N for W, 41 N for F and $\theta$ for 37 degrees

N=70+41sin37=94.67441595 N and rounding off to 2 decimal places

N=94.67 N

A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a lar

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

$W=4037.36\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ice melted, $m=3.3\times10^{-2}\ kg$

time taken by the ice to melt, $t=5\ min=300\ s$

latent heat of the ice, $L=3.34\times 10^5\ J$

Now the heat rejected by the Carnot engine:

$Q_R=m.L$

$Q_R=0.033\times 3.34\times 10^5$

$Q_R=11022\ J$

Since we have boiling water as hot reservoir so:

$T_H=373\ K$

The cold reservoir is ice, so:

$T_L=273\ K$

Now the efficiency:

$\eta=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$\eta=1-\frac{273}{373}$

$\eta=26.81\%$

Now form the law of energy conservation:

Heat supplied:

$Q_S-W=Q_R$

where:

$Q_S=$ heat supplied to the engine

$Q_S-\eta\times Q_S=Q_R$

$Q_S(1-\eta)=Q_R$

$Q_S=\frac{11022}{1-0.2681}$

$Q_S=15059.36\ J$

Now the work done:

$W=Q_S-Q_R$

$W=15059.36-11022$

$W=4037.36\ J$

The magnetosphere of Jupiter is

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

d. a large region outside Jupiter occupied by its magnetic field and filled with high-energy charged particles.

Explanation:

A magnetic field is generated by the movement of a charged particle in the space around it. For the case of Jupiter its magnetic field is created by the liquid metallic hydrogen in its core.

So the magnetosphere is just the magnetic field around a planet, which interacts with high-energy charged particles (for example: Cosmic Rays).

Magnetospheres protect planets from the extreme radiation coming from stars or another interstellar source.
