If a freely falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would itd speed readings increase with each second if it

were on a planet wreg=20m/s2?

" 20 m/s² " means that if gravity is the ONLY force on the object
(the object is in 'free fall'), then its speed increases by  20 m/s
every second.

That's the answer to your question.  Now, let me ask you
another one:

How does a speedometer tied to a falling rock work ?
How can it measure the rock's speed ?

Maybe one way would be to have a little tiny propeller on
the front of the speedometer, and it could measure how fast
the propeller is spinning as the rock falls through the air ?
Great idea.  But we already said the rock is in free-fall,
so there's no air resistance, we can't have any air, and
there's nothing to spin the propeller.

How would you do it ?  How can you measure the rock's speed ?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

V = 0.714m/s

Explanation:

Full solution calculation can be found in the attachment below.

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before collision equals the sum of momentum after collision.

Before collision only the train had momentum. After the collision the train and the boxcars stick together and move as one body. The initial momentum of the train is now shared with the boxcars as they move together as one body. The both move with a common velocity v.

See the attachment below for the solution calculation.

Juan rides his horse with a constant<br> speed of 18 km/h. How far can he travel<br> in 1/2 hour?
Brut [27]

Answer:

He traveled 9km

Explanation:

To do this problem you need to use the equation which is Speed= distance/time and this problem gives you the speed which is 18 km/h and it gives you the time 1/2 hour so you write the equation 18= d/ 1/2 which his distance is 9km

An electromagnetic flowmeter is useful when it is desirable not to interrupt the system in which the fluid is flowing (e.g. for
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<em>2 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as

E = Blv

where E is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V

l is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m

v is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?

B is the magnetic field = 0.120 T

substituting, we have

2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x v

2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x v

v = 2.88/1.44 = <em>2 m/s</em>

When you throw a ball up in the air, it travels up and then stops instantaneously before falling back down. At the point where i
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The ball stops instantaneously at the topmost point of the motion.

Explanation:

Assume we have thrown a ball up in the air. For that we have given a force on the ball and it acquires an initial velocity in the upward direction.

The forces that resist the motion of the ball in the upward direction are the force of gravity and air resistance. The ball will instantaneously come to rest when the velocity of the ball reduces to zero.

The two forces acting in the downward direction reduces its speed continuously and it becomes zero at the topmost point.

Two charges are placed on the x axis. One of the charges (q1 = +7.7 µC) is at x1 = +3.1 cm and the other (q2 = -19 µC) is at x2
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a)E=50.53\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The direction will be negative direction.

b)E=268.22\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The direction will be positive direction.

Explanation:

Given that

q1 = +7.7 µC is at x1 = +3.1 cm

q2 = -19 µC is at x2 = +8.9 cm

We know that electric filed due to a charge given as

E=K\dfrac{q}{r^2}

E_1=K\dfrac{q_1}{r_1^2}

E_2=K\dfrac{q_2}{r_2^2}

Now by putting the va;ues

a)

E_1=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{7.7\times 10^{-6}}{0.031^2}\ N/C

E_1=72.11\times 10^{6}\ N/C

E_2=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{19\times 10^{-6}}{0.089^2}\ N/C

E_2=21.58\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The net electric field

E=E_1-E_2

E=50.53\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The direction will be negative direction.

As we know that electric filed line emerge from positive charge and concentrated at negative charge.

b)

Now

distance for charge 1 will become =5.5 - 3.1 = 2.4 cm

distance for charge 2 will become =8.9-5.5 = 3.4 cm

E_1=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{7.7\times 10^{-6}}{0.024^2}\ N/C

E_1=120.3\times 10^{6}\ N/C

E_2=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{19\times 10^{-6}}{0.034^2}\ N/C

E_2=147.92\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The net electric field

E=E_1+E_2

E=268.22\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The direction will be positive direction.
