After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.7 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 3.8 m/s collides head-on with another 1.7 kg

bowling pin initially at rest. Find the final velocity of the second pin in the following situations: a) The first pin moves to the right after the collision at 0.8 m/s. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of first bowling pin, m = 1.7 kg

Initial velocity of first bowling pin, u = 3.8 m/s

Final velocity of first bowling pin, v = 0.8 m/s

Mass of second bowling pin, M = 1.7 kg

Initial velocity of second bowling pin, U = 0 m/s

Let the final velocity of the second bowling pin be V

Using the principle of conservation of momentum:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m*u + M*U = m*v + M*V

(1.7 * 3.8) + 0 = (1.7 * 0.8) + (1.7 * V)

6.46 = 1.36 + 1.7V

1.7V = 5.1

V = 5.1/1.7 = 3 m/s

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

A refrigerator is being pulled up a ramp with a horizontal force P, which acts at the top corner. The refrigerator has a mass of
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(a) P = 459.055 N.

(b) the refrigerator tips.

Explanation:

Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.

When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N

so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.

so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N

And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.
