My older son Ben is quite a good juggler. He got in some trouble once when he left a set of clear acrylic juggling balls, like t

You probably got mad at him because the melting point of acrylic is 320°F and a parked car can reach temperatures of about 123° F after 60 minutes. I doubt they would have melted but how long was the car parked because that might affect it.

A raft of mass 199 kg carries two swimmers of mass 52 kg and 70 kg. The raft is initially floating at rest. The two swimmers sim
Minchanka [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the conservation of the Momentum. We will then start considering that the amount of initial momentum must be equal to the amount of final momentum. Considering that all the objects at the initial moment have the same initial velocity (Zero, since they start from rest) the final moment will be equivalent to the multiplication of the mass of each object by the velocity of each object, so

Initial Momentum = Final Momentum

(m_B+m_1+m_2)v_i = m_1v_1+m_2v_2+m_Bv_B

Here,

m_B =  mass of Raft

m_1 = Mass of swimmers 1

m_2 = Mass of swimmers 2

v_i = Initial velocity (of the three objects)

v_B = Velocity of Raft

Replacing,

(199+52+70)*0 = (52)(4)+(70)(-4)+199v_B

Solving for v_B

vB = \frac{72}{199}

v_B = 0.3618m/s

Therefore the velocity the rarft start to move is 0.3618m/s

A bungee jumper has a mass of 60kg and uses a 25m long bungee cord (unstretched length) with an elastic coefficient of 800N/m. a
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a ) 2.68 m / s

b )  1.47 m

Explanation:

The jumper will go down with acceleration as long as net force on it becomes zero . Net force of (mg - kx ) will act on it  where kx is the restoring force acting in upward direction.

At the time of equilibrium

mg - kx = 0

x = mg / k

= (60 x 9.8 ) / 800

= 0.735 m

At this moment , let its velocity be equal to V

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy of jumper + elastic energy of cord = loss of potential energy of the jumper

1/2 m V² + 1/2 k x² = mg x

.5 x 60 x V² + .5 x 800 x .735 x .735 = 60 x 9.8 x .735

30 V² + 216.09 = 432.18

V = 2.68 m / s

b ) At lowest point , kinetic energy is zero and loss of potential energy will be equal to stored elastic energy.

1/2 k x² = mgx

x = 2 m g / k

= (2 x 60 x 9.8) / 800

= 1.47 m

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

So a pulse is a part of a mechanical wave, and mechanical waves are energy transfer trough some medium, in this case a stretched spring. So the correct answer is (A) energy only. The pulse cant be transferred into mass.
