Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.200 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It runs into another clay

model, which is initially motionless and has a mass of 0.350 kg. Both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. What is their final velocity?

Answer:

0.278 m/s

Explanation:

We can answer the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision.

So we can write:

$mu=(m+M)v$

where

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the koala bear

u = 0.750 m/s is the initial velocity of the koala bear

M = 0.350 kg is the mass of the other clay model

v is their final combined velocity

Solving the equation for v, we get

$v=\frac{mu}{m+M}=\frac{(0.200)(0.750)}{0.200+0.350}=0.278 m/s$

what is the value of the constant for a second order reaction if the reactant concentration drops from .657 M to ,0981 M in 17 s

yaroslaw [1]

Answer : The value of the constant for a second order reaction is, $0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Explanation :

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

$kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time = 17s

$[A_t]$ = final concentration = 0.0981 M

$[A_o]$ = initial concentration = 0.657 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$k\times 17s=\frac{1}{0.0981M}-\frac{1}{0.657M}$

$k=0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Therefore, the value of the constant for a second order reaction is, $0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Answer:

The image distance is 17.56 cm

Explanation:

We have,

Height of light bulb is 3 cm.

The light bulb is placed at a distance of 50 cm. It means object distance is, u =-50 cm

Focal length of the lens, f = +13 cm

Let v is distance between image and the lens. Using lens formula :

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{13}+\dfrac{1}{(-50)}\\\\v=17.56\ cm$

So, the image distance is 17.56 cm.

Why do we see only one side of the moon from earth?

Anna11 [10]

<span>We see only one side of the moon from earth because the moons period of rotation and revolution are equal. The moon rotates around the Earth at the exact speed as it rotates around its won axis (revolution). The result is: the same side of the moon is facing the Earth. If the moon doesn't rotate on it's axis we on the Earth would see all of the sides of the Moon.</span>

A school bus moves slower and slower. Using what you have learned about forces, explain why the bus moves slower and slower.

Levart [38]

Answer:

I don't exactly know what you learned but it could be because of more friction or the bus was running out of gas.

A projectile is shot directly away from Earth's surface. Neglect the rotation of the Earth. What multiple of Earth's radius RE g

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

(a) r = 1.062·R $_E$ = $\frac{531}{500} R_E$

(b) r = $\frac{33}{25} R_E$

(c) Zero

Explanation:

Here we have escape velocity v $_e$ given by

$v_e =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$ and the maximum height given by

$\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$

Therefore, when the initial speed is 0.241v $_e$ we have

v = $0.241\times \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$ so that;

v² = $0.058081\times {\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$

v² = ${\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }$

$\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$ is then

$\frac{1}{2} {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$

Which gives

$-\frac{0.941919}{R_E} = -\frac{1}{r}$ or

r = 1.062·R $_E$

(b) Here we have

$K_i = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times v_e^2 = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times \frac{2GM}{R_E} = \frac{0.241mGM}{R_E}$

Therefore we put $\frac{0.241GM}{R_E}$ in the maximum height equation to get

$\frac{0.241}{R_E} -\frac{1}{R_E} =-\frac{1}{r}$

From which we get

r = 1.32·R $_E$

(c) The we have the least initial mechanical energy, ME given by

ME = KE - PE

Where the KE = PE required to leave the earth we have

ME = KE - KE = 0

The least initial mechanical energy to leave the earth is zero.
