A child on a 2.4 kg scooter at rest throws a 2.2 kg ball. The ball is given a speed of 3.1 m/s and the child and scooter move in

the opposite directions at 0.45 m/s. Find the child's mass.

Answer:

The child's mass is 14.133 kg

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

(m₁ + m₂) × v₁ + m₃ × v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) × v₃ - m₃ × v₄

We include the negative sign as the velocities were given as moving in the opposite directions

Since the child and the ball are at rest, we have;

v₁ = 0 m/s and v₂= 0 m/s

Hence;

0 = m₁ × v₃ - m₂ × v₄

(m₁ + m₂)× v₃ = m₃ × v₄

Where:

m₁ = Mass of the child

m₂ = Mass of the scooter = 2.4 kg

v₃ = Final velocity of the child and scooter = 0.45 m/s

m₃ = Mass of the ball = 2.4 kg

v₄ = Final velocity of the ball = 3.1 m/s

Plugging the values gives;

(m₁ + 2.4)× 0.45 = 2.4 × 3.1

(m₁ + 2.4) = 16.533

∴ m₁ + 2.4 = 16.533

m₁ = 16.533 - 2.4 = 14.133 kg

The child's mass = 14.133 kg.

Resistors 1 and 2− R1 = 50 Ω , R2 = 90 Ω − are connected in series to a 6.0-V battery. Part APart complete What is the potential

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Part A: The voltage across resistor R1 is approximately $\rm 2.1 \; V$ .

Part B: When the value of resistor R1 decreases, the current in this circuit will increase.

Part C: When the value of resistor R1 decreases, the voltage across resistor R1 will decrease.

Explanation:

<h3>Part A</h3>

Resistor R1 and and R2 are connected in series. That's equivalent to a single resistor of $R_1 + R_2 = 50 + 90 = 140\; \Omega$ . The voltage across the two resistor, combined, is equal to $\rm 6\; V$ . Hence by Ohm's Law, the current through the circuit will be equal to $\rm \dfrac{6\; V}{140\; \Omega} = \dfrac{3}{70}\; A$ .

These two resistors are connected in series. The voltage across each of them might differ. However, the current through each of them should both be equal to the current through the circuit. In this case, the current through both R1 and R2 should be equal to $\rm \dfrac{3}{70}\; A$ . Apply Ohm's Law (again) to find the voltage across R1:

$V = I \cdot R = \dfrac{3}{70} \times 50 \approx \rm 2.1\; V$ .

<h3>Part B</h3>

Since the equivalent resistance is equal to $R_1 + R_2$ , when the value of $R_1$ decreases, the equivalent resistance will also decrease. By Ohm's Law, $I = \dfrac{V}{R}$ . When the value of the denominator ( decreases, the value of the quotient, $I$ the current through the circuit, will increase.

<h3>Part C</h3>

Keep in mind that if two resistors are connected in series,

$I(R_1) = I(\text{Circuit}) = I(R_2)$ .

The resistance of R1 decreases, while the current through it increases. Applying Ohm's Law on R1 won't give much useful information. However, since the resistance of R2 stays the same, the voltage across it will increase when its current increases (again by Ohm's Law.)

Again, since the two resistors are connected in series,

$V(R_1) + V(R_2) = V(\text{Circuit}) = \rm 6 \; V$ ,

when the voltage across R2 increases, the voltage across R1 will decrease.

Explore how archemides principle is applied in building a ship and submarine

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Principle Archimedes is applied in building a ship and submarine using the manipulating that buoyancy, is controlled the ballast tank system.

Explanation:

Submarine is rather had they focused on main parts of the submarine,he is complex and long process implementation,the most submarine design like submarine stability.

Submarine stability is complete and the fundamental Archimedes principle to arrive the weight of submarine is equal to buoyancy force.

Submarine into the parts and components of ballast tank the sequence in diving and surfacing,there two vital parts:- flood parts and air vents

flood parts:- at the bottom position and allow water to enter or leave that tank.

air vents:- air vents at the top of the pressure hall,and that they submarine dive.

this time submarine is most modern system is depth is 300 to 450 meters,high pressure air is 15 bar is tank air valve.

submarine is basic of the effective volume of all the submarine surfaced condition,submarine minus to the free water flood is equal to the fully pressure hull,submarine is the surfaced condition.

A gas is compressed in a cylinder from a volume of 20.0 l to 2.0 l by a constant pressure of 10.0 atm. calculate the amount of w

jok3333 [9.3K]

First, we need to convert the pressure in SI units. Keeping in mind that $1 atm = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa$ :
$p=10.0 atm =1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa$

The initial and final volume of the gas are (keeping in mind that $1.0 L = 0.001 m^3$ ):
$V_i = 20.0 L=0.020 m^3$
$V_f = 2.0 L=0.002 m^3$

So, the work done on the gas by the surrounding is
$W= -p \Delta V=-p(V_f-V_i)=-(1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa)(0.002 m^3-0.020 m^3)=18180 J$
And the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that $F \propto v^2$ , provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, $F_1$ , is

$F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F$

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.

Which terrestrial planet exhibits retrograde rotation?.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Planets that are farther from the sun than the earth (all but Mercury and Venus) will exhibit retrograde motion.

If the position of the planet is observed relative to the background stars, the planet will appear to move backward relative to the stars when the earth is moving in an Eastward direction faster than the planet, and the planet appears to move backwards relative to the stars

(The planet will be on the side of the earth that is opposite that of the sun)
