Time to fall 0.25 meter vertically from rest:

D = (1/2) (g) (t²)

0.25m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²)(t²)

t² = (0.25m) / (4.9 m/s²)

t² = 0.051 sec²

t = 0.226 second

In that amount of time, the mouse sails out

(2.1 m/s) (0.226 sec) = <em>0.474 meter</em>

horizontally.

The mouse would land 0.47 m away from the box.

What is the physical property of a star used to classify the stars by spectral type?

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Stellar Spectra Classification The patterns of lines detected in stellar spectra are used by astronomers to classify stars into spectral classes. These spectral classes are a measure of a star's surface temperature since the temperature of a star dictates which absorption lines are present in its spectrum.

Two particles with masses 2m and 9m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds vi. Particle 2m i

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The final speed for the mass 2m is $v_{2y}=-1,51\ v_{i}$ and the final speed for the mass 9m is $v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}$ .

The angle at which the particle 9m is scattered is $\theta = -66,68^{o}$ with respect to the - y axis.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision the total linear momentum and the total kinetic energy is conserved.

<u>Conservation of linear momentum:</u>

Because the linear momentum is a vector quantity we consider the conservation of the components of momentum in the x and y axis.

The subindex 1 will refer to the particle 9m and the subindex 2 will refer to the particle 2m

$\vec{p}=m\vec{v}$

$p_{xi} =p_{xf}$

In the x axis before the collision we have

$p_{xi}=9m\ v_{i} - 2m\ v_{i}$

and after the collision we have that

$p_{xf} =9m\ v_{1x}$

In the y axis before the collision $p_{yi} =0$

after the collision we have that

$p_{yf} =9m\ v_{1y} - 2m\ v_{2y}$

so

$p_{xi} =p_{xf} \\7m\ v_{i} =9m\ v_{1x}\Rightarrow v_{1x} =\frac{7}{9}\ v_{i}$

then

$p_{yi} =p_{yf} \\0=9m\ v_{1y} -2m\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y}=\frac{2}{9} \ v_{2y}$

<u>Conservation of kinetic energy:</u>

$\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{i} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{i} ^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{1f} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{2f} ^{2}$

so

$\frac{11}{2}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{1}{2} \ 9m\ [(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+ (\frac{2}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{2y} ^{2}]+ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}$

Putting in one side of the equation each speed we get

$\frac{25}{9}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{11}{9}\ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}\\v_{2y} =-1,51\ v_{i}$

We know that the particle 2m travels in the -y axis because it was stated in the question.

Now we can get the y component of the speed of the 9m particle:

$v_{1y} =\frac{2}{9}\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y} =-0,335\ v_{i}$

the magnitude of the final speed of the particle 9m is

$v_{1f} =\sqrt{v_{1x} ^{2}+v_{1y} ^{2} }$

$v_{1f} =\sqrt{(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+(-0,335)^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2} }\Rightarrow \ v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}$

The tangent that the speed of the particle 9m makes with the -y axis is

$tan(\theta)=\frac{v_{1x} }{v_{1y}} =-2,321 \Rightarrow\theta=-66,68^{o}$

As a vector the speed of the particle 9m is:

$\vec{v_{1f} }=\frac{7}{9} v_{i} \hat{x}-0,335\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}$

As a vector the speed of the particle 2m is:

$\vec{v_{2f} }=-1,51\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}$

When Jane drives to work, she always places her purse on the passenger’s seat. By the time she gets to work, her purse has falle

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

At some time during her drive she backed up with a substantial negative. ( backwards) acceleration. Since the pocket book is not physically connected to the seat it is free to move. Upon rapid negative acceleration the pocket book remains in its position while the car accelerates backwards away from it. this demonstrates Newtons 1st law of motion. The first law is the law of inertia. Which states, an object at rest. ( pocketbook) will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by some outside force to change its motion.

If a liquid is sealed in a container and kept at a constant temperature

Zarrin [17]

<span>The complete question is:

</span><span>If a liquid is sealed in a container and kept at constant temperature, how does its vapor pressure change

</span>a. it continues to steadily increase
<span>b. it increases at first, then remains constant </span>
<span>c. it increaees at first, then decreases </span>
<span>d. it continues to steadily decrease
</span>
I believe the correct answer is option B. The vapor pressure change would be that it increases at first, then remains constant. <span>More particles escape the liquid and go into the vapor phase at first. But eventually, the number of escaping particles equals the number of particles going back into the liquid.</span>
