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.

20.0 -kg cannonball is fired from a cannon with muzzle speed of 1000m/s at an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. A second ball
Dovator [93]

The mechanical energy for the first and the second ball is

10 ^{7}  \: joules.

Mass of the first ball = 20 kg

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 37°

The maximum height reached by the first ball is,

=   \frac{ u {}^{2} _{1}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}

=    \frac{ {1000}^{2} sin {}^{2}37°}{2 \times 9.8}

= 18478.69 \: m

The maximum height of the first cannonball is 17478.69 m.

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 90 °

=   \frac{ u {}^{2} _{2}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}

=   \frac{ 1000{}^{2}sin^{2} 90°}{2 \times 9.8}[tex] = 51020.41 \: m

For the first ball, total mechanical energy= Potential energy at maximum height + kinetic energy at the maximum height

So, the total mechanical energy is,

= mgh \: + \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} _{x}[/tex]

= 20 \times 9.8 \times 18478.64  \times  \frac{20}{2} (1000 \: cos37 °)

= 10 ^{7}  The potential energy at the maximum height, = m _{2}gh

= 20 \times 9.8  \times 51020.41

= 10 ^{7} \:J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy for the first and the

\:second \:  cannonball \:  is  \: 10 ^{7}  \:joules.

Two liquids, A and B, have equal masses and equal initial temperatures. Each is heated for the same length of time over identica
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

Explanation:

Liquid A is hotter than the liquid B after both the liquids are heated identically for the same duration of time from the same initial temperature then according to heat equation,

Q=m.c.\Delta T

where:

m = mass of the body

c = specific heat of the body

\Delta T= change in temperature of the body

The identical heat source supplies the heat for the same amount of time then the quantity of heat supplied is also equal.

So for constant heat, constant mass the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific of heat of the liquid.

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m} \times \frac{1}{c}

\Delta T\propto\frac{1}{c}

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.
