The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a labor

atory simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.12 g, its speed before entering the branch was 221 m/s, and its penetration depth was 16 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick?

Answer:

F  = 183.153 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the toothpick = 0.12 g = 0.00012 kg  

initial velocity = 227 m/s    

final velocity = 0 m/s      

penetration depth = 16 mm = 0.016 m        

using the equation of motion        

v² - u² = 2 a s                            

0 - u² = 2 a s                                      

- 221² = 2 × a × 0.016      

a = 1526281.25 m/s²            

Force is equal to            

F = m a

  = 0.00012 × 1526281.25

F  = 183.153 N

vladimir2022 [97]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Velocity is vector quantity.So it needs direction in addition to speed.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion. </em>

Which object represents a negatively charged particle? which object represents a positively charged molecule? which object repre
kari74 [83]

The answers to your questions are as written below:

  • The objects that represents a negatively charged particle is : Image B
  • The object that represents a positively charged molecule is : Image A
  • The object that represents an uncharged molecule is : Image C
  • The object the will not move when in an electric fied is : Image C

<h3>Different types of charges molecules</h3>

A negatively charged molecule move inwards when placed in an electric field while positively charged molecule placed in a electric field will move outwards the electric field.

A neutral/uncharged molecule will remains still when placd in an elctric field due to the absence of charges.

Hence we can concude that the answers to your questions are as listed above.

Which of the following statement(s) about energy and phase is/are correct? Select all that apply. Choose one or more: A. While o
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Option (A) and (D) are the correct statements.

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to its position. Whereas kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to  the motion of its molecules.

When there will be only one phase present then addition or removal of energy will lead to change in kinetic energy of the substance but no change in potential energy will take place.

Whereas if change in phase is occurring then adding or removing any energy will lead to change in potential energy of the substance while kinetic energy will remain the same.

Thus, we can conclude that correct statements are as follows.

  • While only one phase is present, adding or removing energy changes PE but not KE.
  • During a phase change, adding or removing energy changes PE but not KE.
