Bullets from two revolvers are fired with the same velocity. The bullet from gun #1 is twice as heavy as the bullet from gun #2.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

Let mass of the bullet be m and velocity be v

mass of gun be M and bullet be V

now,

using conservation of momentum for gun 1

(M+m) V' = 2 mv + 3 MV

V' = 0

3 M V = - 2 mv

momentum of gun 1 =- 2 mv---------(1)

now for gun 2

(M+m) V' = mv + MV

V' = 0

M V = - mv

momentum of gun 1 = -mv-----------(2)

dividing equation (1) by (2)

\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{- 2mv}{-mv}

\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{2}{1}

the correct answer is option C

If a single circular loop of wire carries a current of 62 A and produces a magnetic field at its center with a magnitude of 1.20
s2008m [1.1K]

Given Information:  

Current in loop = I = 62 A

Magnitude of magnetic field = B = 1.20x10⁻⁴ T

Required Information:  

Radius of the circular loop = r = ?  

Answer:  

Radius of the circular loop = 0.324 m

Explanation:  

In a circular loop of wire with radius r and carrying a current I  induces a magnetic field B which is given by

B = μ₀I/2r

Please note that for an infinitely straight long wire we use 2πr whereas for circular loop we use 2r

Where μ₀= 4πx10⁻⁷ is the permeability of free space

Re-arranging the equation yields

r = μ₀I/2B

r = 4πx10⁻⁷*62/2*1.20x10⁻⁴

r = 0.324 m

Therefore, the radius of this circular loop is 0.324 m

One way for a family to determine their energy use is by analyzing their electric bill each month. Most energy bills include a g
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

C)Before leaving for their trip, turn the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances.

Explanation:

Although, the other three options will also reduce their electricity bill but they do not explain why Mr. Hernandez's family got same electricity bill as last year even though this time they were not home for one and a half week. Also, A), B) and D) ideas are not reasonable.

So, the only conclusion is that even when they were on a vacation. the electrical appliances in their home were on. That's why the bill remained the same.

The idea of turning the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances before they leave for the trip will help reduce the energy usage. Also, it is reasonable.
