Observing neutrinos from the Sun is an important way to check the fusion rate, but it can be very tough to build a machine that

can detect these particles. What trouble did the most recent experiment, Borexino, have to overcome

Vika [28.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

The trouble that the most recent experiment, Borexino, have to overcome was that

neutrinos hardly interact with matter and so radioactive decay of ant material inside the detector could look exactly like a neutrino interaction too

a) The momentum of the coconut is 3 kg m/s

b) At first, the air resistance is negligible, so the coconut accelerates due to the force of gravity

c) The coconut reaches its terminal velocity

Explanation:

a)

The momentum of an object is given by the equation

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the coconut in this problem, we have:

m = 1.5 kg (mass)

v = 2 m/s (velocity)

Therefore, its momentum is

p=(1.5)(2)=3 kg m/s

B)

There are only two forces acting on the coconut during its fall:

  • The force of gravity, of magnitude mg (m= mass of the coconut, g = acceleration of gravity), acting downward
  • The air resistance, acting upward, whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the coconut

During the first momentums of the fall, the speed of the coconut is still low, so the air resistance is mostly negligible, and therefore only the force of gravity is acting on the coconut. Since this force is constant, it means that the acceleration of the coconut is constant: therefore, its velocity keeps increasing during the fall, and the coconut speeds up.

C)

If the tree is very tall, the fall of the coconut lasts long, and the  speed of the coconut keeps increasing. Since the air resistance is proportional to the speed, this means that at some point, the air resistance is no longer negligible, and it starts to have some effect on the fall of the coconut. In particular, at a certain point, the air resistance will become equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity (but opposite in direction): this means that  from this point, the acceleration of the coconut will be zero, and therefore the coconut will continue its motion at constant velocity. This velocity is called terminal velocity, and it occurs when the force of gravity is equal to the air resistance:

mg = F_r

where F_r is the air resistance.

(15pts) A hungry 12.0 kg fish is coasting from west to east at 75 cm/s when it suddenly swallows a 1 kg fish swimming towards it
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s.

Explanation:

Consider west to east direction as positive and the opposite direction as negative.

Given:

Mass of big fish (m₁) = 12.0 kg

Initial velocity of big fish (u₁) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Mass of small fish (m₂) = 1 kg

Initial velocity of small fish (u₂) = -4 m/s (Direction is opposite to u₁)

After swallowing the small fish, both the fishes move together with same velocity. Let the velocity be 'v'.

So, as there are no effects of drag or any other forces, the given scenario can be considered as a case of inelastic collision where the objects move together with same velocity after collision.

The momentum is conserved in inelastic collision. Therefore,

Initial momentum of the fishes = Final momentum of the fishes

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

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'v'. This gives,

v=\frac{12.0\times 0.75+1\times (-4)}{12.0+1}\\\\v=\frac{9-4}{13}\\\\v=\frac{5}{13}=0.38\ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s

Find the energy u of the capacitor in terms of c and q by using the definition of capacitance and the formula for the energy in
gtnhenbr [62]

The formula for the energy in a capacitor , u in terms of q and c is q²/2c

<h3>What is the energy of a capacitor?</h3>

The energy of a capacitor u = 1/2qv where

  • q = charge on capacitor and
  • v = voltage across capacitor.

<h3>What is the capacitance of a capacitor?</h3>

Also, the capacitance of a capacitor c = q/v where

  • q = charge on capacitor and
  • v = voltage across capacitor.

So, v = q/c

<h3>The formula for energy of the capacitor in terms of q and c</h3>

Substituting v into u, we have

u = 1/2qv

= 1/2q(q/c)

= q²/2c

So, the formula for the energy in a capacitor , u in terms of q and c is q²/2c
