Which of the options is the best definition of a vector?

In a science fiction novel two enemies, Bonzo and Ender, are fighting in outer spce. From stationary positions, they push agains

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$\frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18$

Explanation:

$m_B$ = Mass of Bonzo

$m_E$ = Mass of Ender

$u_B$ = Initial Velocity of Bonzo = 2.2 m/s

$u_E$ = Initial Velocity of Ender = -2.6 m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

$m_Bu_B=m_Eu_E\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=\frac{u_E}{u_B}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=\frac{2.6}{2.2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18$

$\therefore \frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18$

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, What is the acceleration of the object (zero or not zero)

Andreas93 [3]

We know, acceleration is the change of velocity by time.
Velocity is the speed of an object which also indicates the direction.
Hence, acceleration is both dependant upon the speed as well as the direction.
So, if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration will also change. It will not be zero.
An example is that of uniform circular motion.

Answer:

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration of the object will not be zero.

Two rams run toward each other. One ram has a mass of 49 kg and runs west

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the first ram $m_1=49\ kg$

The velocity of this ram is $v_1=-7\ m/s$

Mass of the second ram $m_2=52\ kg$

The velocity of this ram $v_2=9\ m/s$

They combined after the collision

Conserving the momentum

$\Rightarrow m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow 49\times (-7)+52\times (9)=(52+49)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{125}{101}\ m/s \quad[\text{east}]$

Momentum after the collision will be

$\Rightarrow 101\times \dfrac{125}{101}=125\ kg-m/s\ \text{East}$

Therefore, option (d) is correct

A pogo stick has a spring with a force constant of 2.50 × 104 N/m , which can be compressed 11.2 cm. what maximum height, in met

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

h = 36.4 cm

Explanation:

given,

spring constant = 2.5 x 10⁴ N/m

compressed distance = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

mass of the child = 44 kg

maximum height = ?

by energy of conservation

$K.E_i +P.E_i= K.E_f + P.E_f$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5 \times 10^4 \times 0.112^2 = 44\times 9.8 \times h$

$156.8 = 44 \times 9.8 \times h$

$h = \dfrac{156.8}{44 \times 9.8}$

h = 0.364 m

h = 36.4 cm

What is the equilibrium concentration of ibr?

asambeis [7]

IBR is the thermal decomposition of iodine(I) bromide to produce iodine and bromine. This reaction takes place at a temperature of over 40,5°C and is written as:

<span>2IBr ⇄ I2 + Br2
</span>
Equilibrium is a state of dynamic balance where the ratio of the product and reactant concentrations is constant.<span> You can calculate the equilibrium concentration if you know the equilibrium constant Kc (Kc=I^2*Br^2/IBR^2) and the initial concentration for the reaction. The initial concentration is obtained from ICE Table.</span>
