Answer: -0.33m/s (A)

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of momentum before collision is equal to sum of their momentum after collision. They move with the same velocity (v) after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

For 4kg mass with velocity of 3m/s,

Its momentum = 4×3 = 12kgm/s

For 8kg mass with velocity of 2m/s,

Its momentum = 8 × -2 = -16kgm/s.

The velocity of 8kg mass is negative because it is moving towards the left(-ve x-direction).

Sum of momentum before collision = 12+(-16) = -4kgm/s... (1)

Momentum of 4kg body after collision = 4v

Momentum of 8kg body after collision = 8v

Sum of momentum after collision = 4v+8v = 12v...(2)

Equating 1 and 2 according to law of conservation of momentum, we have;

-4 = 12v

V = -4/12

V = -0.33m/s

Therefore their velocity after collision is -0.33m/s

A rectangular tank is filled to a depth of 10m with freshwater and open to air at atmospheric pressure.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

1. 39068.07 N

2. 19534.036 N

Explanation:

depth of water h = 10 m

atmospheric pressure Patm = 101325 Pa

density of water p = 1000 kg/m^3

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2

pressure due to depth of water = pgh

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 10 = 98100 Pa

total pressure on the bottom of the tank is Patm + p = 101325 + 98100 = 199425 Pa

Left plug has diameter = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

height = 1 cm = 0.01 m

height below tank surface = 10 - 0.01 = 9.99

pressure at this depth = 1000 x 9.81 x 9.99 = 98001.9 Pa

total pressure = Patm + P = 101325 + 98001.9 = 199326.9 Pa

surface area of plug = π $r^{2}$ = 3.142 x $0.25^{2}$ = 0.196 $m^{2}$

force required to lift left plug = pressure x area

F = 199326.9 x 0.196 = 39068.07 N

The right side is a hemisphere with the same diameter, therefore surface area is half of the left plug

A = 0.196/2 = 0.098 $m^{2}$

force F required to lift right plug = 199326.9 x 0.098 = 19534.036 N

The answer is; producing genetically modified organism

GMOs have been shown to produce varieties of organisms that have increased yields and are resistant to the upsets of climate change and diseases. GMOs are made by introducing genes into an organism that will confer particular desired traits such as disease and drought resistance.

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $3.874 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

$60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s$

$34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s$

we know acceleration is given by $=\frac{velocity}{Time}$

$a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}$

$a=-3.874 m/s^2$

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s$

$s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}$

s=63.038 m

velikii [3]

Let s = rate of rotation
Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km 
Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. 
People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.
