Answer:Stop watches are also used to measure time in some sports.

Explanation:clocks

In the past, a common time measuring instrument was the sundial. Today, the usual measuring instruments for time are clocks and watches. For highly accurate measurement of time an atomic clock is used. Stop watches are also used to measure time in some sports.

Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: If a spring-operated gun can shoot a pellet to a maximum height of 100 m on Earth,

crimeas [40]

Answer:

h' = 603.08 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the initial velocity of the pellet on the surface of Earth by using third equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height of pellet = 100 m

Vf = final velocity of pellet = 0 m/s (since, pellet will momentarily stop at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity of Pellet = ?

Therefore,

(2)(-9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √(1960 m²/s²)

Vi = 44.27 m/s

Now, we use this equation at the surface of moon with same initial velocity:

2g'h' = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = 1.625 m/s²

h' = maximum height gained by pellet on moon = ?

Therefore,

2(1.625 m/s²)h' = (44.27 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²

h' = (1960 m²/s²)/(3.25 m/s²)

Three beads are placed along a thin rod. The first bead, of mass m1 = 23 g, is placed a distance d1 = 1.1 cm from the left end o

Mila [183]

Answer:

a) $x=\frac{m_{1}d_{1}+m_{2}(d_{1}+d_{2})+m_{3}(d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3} ) }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }$

b) x = 4.47 cm

c) $x=\frac{m_{1}d_{2}+m_{2}(0)+m_{3}d_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }$

d) x = 1.48 cm

Explanation:

a) The center of mass is equal to:

$x=\frac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}+m_{3}x_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2} +m_{3}}$

Where m is the mass of beads and x is the distances, if x₁ = d₁, x₂ = d₂ and x₃ = d₃

$x=\frac{m_{1}d_{1}+m_{2}(d_{1}+d_{2})+m_{3}(d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3} ) }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }$

b) If

m₁ = 23g

m₂ = 15 g

m₃ = 58 g

d₁ = 1.1 cm

d₂ = 1.9 cm

d₃ = 3.2 cm

$x=\frac{23*1.1+15*(1.1+1.9)+58(1.1+1.9+3.2) }{23+15+58 } =4.47cm$

c) The center of the mass of the beads realtive to the center of bead is:

$x=\frac{m_{1}d_{2}+m_{2}(0)+m_{3}d_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }$

d) $x=\frac{23*(-1.9)+(15*0)+(58*3.2) }{23+15+58 } =1.48cm$

If I have a picosecond laser how would that be expressed in terms of zeptoseconds? In terms of petaseconds?

kolbaska11 [484]

Picosecond = 10 ^ -12 seconds.
Zeptosecond = 10^ -18 seconsds
Petaseonds = 10^15 seconds

To express Picoseconds into any of other two, you have to divide 10^-12 by the power index of the one in question

1Picosecond : 10^-12 / 10^-18 = 10^ (-12- 18) = 10^ (-12+18)= 10^6 zeptoseconds

1Picosecond : 10^-12 / 10^15 = 10^ (-12-15) = 10^-27 Petaseconds.

1Picosecond = 10^6 zeptoseconds

1Picosecond = 10^-27 Petaseconds

Starting from rest, a 5.00-kg block slides 2.50 m down a rough 30.0 incline. The coeffi cient of kinetic friction between the bl

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) $W_g =61.25J$

b) $W_k = -46.25J$

c) $W_N = 0$

d) $W_g$ would be the same.

$W_k$ would decrease.

$W_N$ would be the same.

Explanation:

a) On an inclined plane the force of gravity is the sine component of the weight of the block.

$F_g = mg\sin(\theta) = 5(9.8)\sin(30^\circ)\\W_g = F_g x = 5(9.8)\sin(30^\circ)2.5 = 61.25J$

b) The friction force is equal to the normal force times coefficient of friction.

$F_k = -mg\cos(\theta)\mu_k = -5(9.8)cos(30^\circ)0.436 = -18.5 N\\W_k = -F_kx = -46.25J$

c) The work done by the normal force is zero, since there is no motion in the direction of the normal force.

d) The relation between the vertical height and the distance on the ramp is

$h = x\sin(\theta)$

According to this relation, the work done by the gravity wouldn't change, since the force of gravity includes a term of $x\sin(\theta)$ .

The work done by the friction force would decrease, because both the cosine term and the distance on the ramp would decline.

The work done by the normal force would still be zero.
