A sled of mass m is coasting on the icy surface of a frozen river. While it is passing under a bridge, a package of equal mass m

is dropped straight down and lands on the sled (without causing any damage). The sled plus the added load then continue along the original line of motion. How does the kinetic energy of the (sled + load) compare with the original kinetic energy of the sled? A) It is 1/4 the original kinetic energy of the sled. B) It is 1/2 the original kinetic energy of the sled. C) It is 3/4 the original kinetic energy of the sled. D) It is the same as the original kinetic energy of the sled. E) It is twice the original kinetic energy of the sled.

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

mass of Sled is m

another package of mass m is thrown on it

Suppose u be the initial velocity of sled

conserving momentum

mu=2mv

v=\frac{u}{2}

where v is the final velocity

Initial kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}(2m)\cdot (\frac{u}{2})^2

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final kinetic Energy is half of initial

The amplitude of a paricular wave is 4.0 m. The crest to trough distance
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The crest to trough distance = 8 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The amplitude of a particular wave is 4.0 m.

We need to find the crest to trough distance.

We know that,

Amplitude = The distance from the base line to the crest or the the distance from the baseline to the trough.

It means,

Distance from crest to trough = 2(Amplitude)

= 2(4)

= 8 m

Hence, the crest to trough distance is equal to 8 m.

An electron moves in the plane of this screen toward the top of the screen. A magnetic field is also in the plane of the screen
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be moving out of the screen, perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a moving electron at right angle to a magnetic field is given by the formula:

F = BqVSinØ

If an electron moves in the plane of this screen toward the top of the screen. A magnetic field is also in the plane of the screen and directed toward the right. Then, the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be perpendicular to the magnetic field

According to the Fleming's left - hand rule, the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be moving out of the plane of the screen.
