You are standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo; there is negligible friction between

your feet and the ice. A friend throws you a 0.425 kg ball that is traveling horizontally at 12.0 m/s . Your mass is 68.5 kg . For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of Astronaut rescue. Part A If you catch the ball, with what speed do you and the ball move afterwards? Express your answer in centimeters per second.

Answer:

0.074m/s

Explanation:

We need the formula for conservation of momentum in a collision, this equation is given by,

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Where,

$m_1$ = mass of ball

$m_2$ = mass of the person

$u_1$ = Velocity of ball before collision

$u_2$ = Velocity of the person before collision

$v_1$ = velocity of ball afer collision

$v_2$ = velocity of the person after collision

We know that after the collision, as the person as the ball have both the same velocity, then,

$v_1 = v_2$

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_2$

Re-arrenge to find $v_2$ ,

$v_2 = \frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Our values are,

$m_1$ = 0.425kg

$u_1$ = 12m/s

$m_2$ = 68.5kg

$u_2$ = 0m/s

Substituting,

$v_2 = \frac{(0.425)(12)+(68.5)(0)}{0.425+68.5}$

$v_2 = 0.074m/s$

<em />

<em>The speed of the person would be 0.074m/s after the collision between him/her and the ball</em>

Answer:

The current is reduced to half of its original value.

Explanation:

Assuming we can apply Ohm's Law to the circuit, as the internal resistance and the load resistor are in series, we can find the current I₁ as follows:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} }$

where Rint = r and RL = r
Replacing these values in I₁, we have:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{2*r} (1)$

When the battery ages, if the internal resistance triples, the new current can be found using Ohm's Law again:

$I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{(3*r) +r} = \frac{V}{4*r} (2)$

We can find the relationship between I₂, and I₁, dividing both sides, as follows:

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} } = \frac{V}{4*r} *\frac{2*r}{V} = \frac{1}{2}$

The current when the internal resistance triples, is half of the original value, when the internal resistance was r, equal to the resistance of the load.

Which equation was used by Albert Einstein to explain the photoelectric effect? [E = energy, h = Planck’s constant, and v = freq

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

E = hv

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon when the electromagnetic waves of a particular wavelength strike on the metal plate like zinc, it ejects the free electrons.
The ejected electrons have the kinetic energy and this energy is responsible for the electric energy.
The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is linked with the frequency of the incident rays.
If the rays hitting the metal plate is below the minimum required threshold value, the photoelectrons are not ejected.
The photoelectric equation is given by

E = hν - ∅

Where, ∅ is the minimum energy required to remove an electron.
