This is a problem of conservation of momentum
Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.0 kg * 0.480 m/s = 46.08 N*s
A) man throws the rock forward
=>
rock:
m1 = 0.310 kg
V1 = 14.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man
sled and man:
m2 = 96 kg - 0.310 kg = 95.69 kg
v2 = ?
Conservation of momentum:
momentum before throw = momentum after throw
46.08N*s = 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2
=> v2 = [46.08 N*s - 0.310*14.5N*s ] / 95.69 kg = 0.434 m/s
B) man throws the rock backward
this changes the sign of the velocity, v2 = -14.5 m/s
46.08N*s = - 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2
v2 = [46.08 N*s + 0.310*14.5 N*s] / 95.69 k = 0.529 m/s
Option C i.e scattering is the correct answer.
Scattering type of Polarization occurs when light strikes the atoms of a material.
Polarization is the process of transforming unpolarized light into polarized light. There are four methods of polarisation--Transmission, Refraction, Reflaction and Scattering.
Answer:
72 joules
Explanation:
The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.
since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)
therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy
mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.
The horizontal force : f = k*N
k- coefficient of friction
k = f /N
N = m * g = 45 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 441.45 N
k = 25 N : 441.45 N = 0.057
Answer C) 0.057
