Brittany stands at rest on a skateboard. The combined mass of Brittany and the skateboard is 62 kg. Dave tosses a 3.7-kg pumpkin

to Brittany, and when she catches it, she and the skateboard begin to roll backward with a speed of 0.18 m/s.
What was the speed of the pumpkin?

Answer:

3.196 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Brittany and the skateboard, M = 62 kg

Mass of pumpkin, m = 3.7 kg

Initial speed of Brittany and the skateboard, U = 0 m/s

Final velocity of Brittany, the skateboard and the pumpkin, V = v = 0.18 m/s

We can solve this problem by applying the principle of conservation of momentum.

It states that the total final momentum of a system is equal to the total initial momentum of the system.

M*U + m*u = M*V + m*v

Where u is the initial velocity of the pumpkin.

Since the final velocity of Brittany and the skateboard is equal to the final velocity of pumpkin:

M*U + m*u = (M + m) *v

Solving this to get u:

(62 * 0) + (3.7 * u) = (62 + 3.7) * 0.18

0 + 3.7u = 65.7 * 0.18

3.7u = 11.826

u = 11.826 / 3.7

u = 3.196 m/s

The initial velocity of the pumpkin was 3.196 m/s.

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.
Mariulka [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

The matter does not move in solid state but vibrates.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The atoms inside the matter cannot move or shift their positions without any external force but makes some small vibration movements. Generally in solids, the particles are bound by the attractive forces acting in between the atoms inside the matter.

The small vibrations that are happening inside the matter are because of the external factors like temperature. The increase in temperature raises the kinetic energy of the atoms inside and makes them move faster and this results in the vibration of the matter.

Determine
djyliett [7]

(i) The total capacitance for the circuit is 5 μF.

(ii) The total charge stored in the circuit is 1 x 10⁻⁴ C.

(iii) The charge stored in 3μF capacitor is  6 x 10⁻⁶ C.

<h3>Total capacitance of the circuit</h3>

The total capacitance of the circuit is determined by reolving the series capacitors separate and parallel capacitors separate as well.

<h3>C1 and C2 are in series </h3>

\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{C_1 } + \frac{1}{C_2} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{4 } + \frac{1}{4} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{2} \\\\C_{12} = 2 \ \mu F

<h3>C1 and C2 are parallel to C3</h3>

C_{123} = C_{12} + C_3\\\\C_{123} = 2\ \mu F + 2\ \mu F \\\\C_{123} = 4 \ \mu F

<h3>C(123) is series to C5 and C6</h3>

\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{C_{123}} + \frac{1}{C_5} + \frac{1}{C_6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{12}{24} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{2} \\\\C_t = 2 \ \mu F

<h3>C7 and C8 are in series</h3>

\frac{1}{C_{78}} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{78}} = \frac{2}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{78}} =\frac{1}{3} \\\\C_{78} = 3 \ \mu F

<h3>Total capaciatnce of the circuit</h3>

Ct + C(78) = 2 μF + 3 μF = 5 μF

<h3 /><h3>Total charge stored in the circuit</h3>

The total charge stored in the capacitor is calculated as follows;

Q = CV

Q = (5 x 10⁻⁶) x (20)

Q = 1 x 10⁻⁴ C

<h3>Charge stored in 3μF capacitor</h3>

Q =  (3 x 10⁻⁶) x (20)

Q = 6 x 10⁻⁶ C

 a Without the atmosphere, average temperature on Earth would be freezing! Below zero to be exact!

b The atmosphere protects us and animals from dangerous radiation from the Sun. Ultraviolet radiation is basically invisible rays of energy created by the sun.

cAlso, the atmosphere provides oxygen for humans and animals to breathe and C02 (Carbon dioxide) for plants. 

4 warmth 

5 yes it is The water on our Earth today is the same water that’s been here for nearly 5 billion years. Only a tiny bit of it has escaped out into space. As far as we know, new water hasn’t formed either.

That means there’s a very high chance the water in your glass is what thirsty dinosaurs were gulping about 65 million years ago.
