A large container contains a large amount of water. A hole is drilled on the wall of the container, at a vertical distance h = 0

.54 m below the surface of the water. The water surface drops very slowly and its speed is approximately zero. Keep 2 decimal places in all answers. (a) Find the speed v (in m/s) at which water squirts out of the hole.

Speed can be found through the application of concepts related to potential energy and kinetic energy, for which you have

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

g = Gravitational acceleration

h = Height

Re-arrange to find the velocity we have,

v^2 = 2gh

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(0.54)}

v = 3.253m/s

Therefore the speed at which water squirts out of the hole is .3253m/s

A spinning satellite begins to unfold two solar panels as shown. How does a satellites ANGULAR MOMENTUM change as its panels ext
Soloha48 [4]

As the satellite panels extend, the angular velocity decreases due to drag force, and hence it will cause a decrease in the angular momentum of the satellite.

<h3>What is angular momentum?</h3>

Angular momentum is defined as the quantity of rotation of a body, which is the product of  mass, velocity and radius.

L = mvr

L = mωr²

where;

  • m is mass of the object
  • v is velocity
  • r is radius
  • ω is angular velocity

As the satellite panels extend, the angular velocity decreases due to drag force, and hence it will cause a decrease in the angular momentum of the satellite.

Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B
Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

v=\frac{c}{n}

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

  the speed of the center of mass stays the same

Explanation:

In a system with no energy loss, momentum is conserved if the mass remains constant. The system described has no change in mass, and energy loss is considered negligible. Hence the product of the total mass and the velocity of its center will be a constant. The center of mass stays the same speed.

26. A 40 kg boy jumps from a height of 4m onto a plate-form mounted on springs. As the
denpristay [2]

Answer:

c. 1600J

Explanation:

The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:

U=mg \Delta h

where

m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h = 4 m + 0.02 m = 4.02 m is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)

Substituting, we find

\Delta U = (40 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.02 m) = 1577 J \sim 1600 J

What are the conditions of the thermonuclear fusion reaction in the sun?​
Verizon [17]

High temperature gives the hydrogen atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons. Fusion requires temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin (approximately six times hotter than the sun's core).
