Suppose two wagons, one with twice as much mass as the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Th

Answer:

The heavier wagon rolls 1/2 as fast as the lighter wagon.

Explanation:

When the compressed spring that joins them is released then the force acts on both wagons will be of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. However as the mass of one wagon is twice that of other, so the acceleration  will become half of the heavier wagon in comparison with lighter one.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total heat = Work done = Force × distance

distance = 0.075 × 12 = 0.9 m

W = 45 × 0.9 = 40.5 joules

Specific heat of the human hand = 3.5 kj/kg = 3.5 j/g

Q = MCΔT

ΔT = (Q) ÷ (MC)

ΔT = 40.5 ÷ (3.5 × 1) = 11.57°C

a metal bar 70cm long and 4.00 kg in mass supported on two knief -edge placed 10 cm from each end. a 6.00 kg weight is suspended
Klio2033 [76]
First, you make a diagram of all the forces acting on the system. This is shown in the figure. We have to determine F1 and F4. Let's do a momentum balance. Momentum is conserved so the summation of all momentum is equal to zero. Momentum is force*distance.

To determine F1: (reference is F4, so F4=0)

∑Momentum = 0 = -F2 - F3 + F1
0 = (-4 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.25m)-(6kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.5-0.3m)+F1(0.5-0.1m)
F1 = 53.96 N (left knife-edge)

To determine F4: (reference is F1, so F1=0)

∑Momentum = 0 = -F2 - F3 + F4
0 = (-4 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.25m)-(6kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.5-0.2m)+F4(0.5-0.1m)
F4 = 68.67 N (right knife-edge)

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for hydrogen atomic  spectrum is as follows

energy of photon due to transition from higher orbit n₂ to n₁

E=13.6 (\frac{1}{n_1^2 } - \frac{1}{n_2^2})eV

For layman series n₁ = 1 and n₂ = 2 , 3 , 4 ,   ...   etc

energy of first line

E_1=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{2 ^2})

10.2 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 10.2 = 1213.2 A

energy of 2 nd line

E_2=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{3 ^2})

= 12.08 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.08 = 1024.4 A

energy of third line

E_3=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{4 ^2})

12.75 e V

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.75 = 970.6 A

energy of fourth line

E_4=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{5 ^2})

= 13.056 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.05 = 948.3 A

energy of fifth line

E_5=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{6 ^2})

13.22 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.22 = 936.1 A

the mass of a brick is 4 kg, find the mass of water displaced by it when completely immersed in water.​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is = 1.6

Explanation:

Density of water = 1000kg/m³ = d₁

Mass of brick = 4kg = m

Density of brick = 2.5 g/cm³ = 2.5 × 1000 =2500 kg/m³ = d₂

Volume of brick = m/d₂ = 4/2500 =16/10000 = 0.0016 L = v

Buoyant Force = v × d₁ × g          (g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s²)

= 0.0016 × 1000 × 9.8 = 15.68 Newtons

By the Archimedes' Principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by an object.

Weight of the water displaced=Buoyant Force

=Mass of water displaced × g,

as weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

15.68= mass of brick × 9.8

15.68/9.8 =Mass of water displaced

1.6 kg = Mass of water displaced
