Mady has an infinite number of balls and empty boxes available to her. The empty boxes, each capable of holding four balls, are

arranged in a row from left to right. At the first step, she places a ball in the first box of the row. At each subsequent step, she places a ball in the first box of the row that still has room for a ball and empties any previous boxes. How many balls in total are in the boxes as a result of Mady's 2010th step

Answer:

The number of balls in the box at 2010th step is 6 balls

Explanation:

Since the boxes are arranged from left to right, and since the empty boxes are capable of holding 4 balls at once.

Therefore, her steps would follow this pattern ;

00001 - 1st Step

0002 - 2nd Step

0003 - 3rd Step

0004 -4th Step

0010 - 5th Step

0011 - 6th Step

0021 - 7th step

0031 - 8th step

0041 - 9th step

Looking at this pattern, it is obvious this digits are in base 5 because once we count to 4 in a unit, we move to the next at 1.

Thus,at Mady's 2010th step, we'll convert to base 5,thus 2010 in base 5 is calculated as;

2010 ÷ 5 = 402 r 0, so Base 5 is now: _ _ _ _ 0.

402 ÷ 5 = 80 r 2, so Base 5 is now: _ _ _ 2 0.

80 ÷ 5 = 16 r 0, so Base 5 is now:

_ _ 0 2 0.

16 ÷ 5 = 3 r 1, so Base 5 is now: _ 1 0 2 0.

3 ÷ 5 = 0 r 3, so Base 5 is now: 3 1 0 2 0.

So 2010 in base 10 is 31020 in base 5. Thus,the number of balls in the box at 2010th step is equal to 3 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 6balls

The Electric Potential of the Earth The Earth has a vertical electric field with a magnitude of approximately 100 V/m near its s
maksim [4K]

Answer:

16916.4 V

Explanation:

Electric potential: This is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point in against the action of the field. The S.I unit  of Electric potential is V.

mathematically, Electric potential can be expressed as

P = E×d ....................................... Equation 1.

Where P = Electric potential, E = Electric Field, d = distance/height of the level at the top of the Washington  Monument.

Given: E = 100 V/m, d = 555 ft = 555×0.3048 m = 169.164 m.

Substitute into equation 1

P = 100×169.164

P = 16916.4 V.

Thus the potential difference = 16916.4 V.

12. A boy of mass 50 kg running 5m/s jumps on to a 20kg trolley
atroni [7]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(50)(5) + (20)(1.5) = (50 + 20) v

v = 4

The final velocity is 4 m/s.

A 4.00-m long rod is hinged at one end. The rod is initially held in the horizontal position, and then released as the free end
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²

Explanation:

The torque on the rod τ = Iα where I = moment of inertia of rod = mL²/12 where m =mass of rod  and L = length of rod = 4.00 m. α = angular acceleration of rod

Also, τ = Wr where W = weight of rod = mg and r = center of mass of rod = L/2.

So Iα = Wr

Substituting the value of the variables, we have

mL²α/12 = mgL/2

Simplifying by dividing through by mL, we have

mL²α/12mL = mgL/2mL

Lα/12 = g/2

multiplying both sides by 12, we have

Lα/12 × 12 = g/2 × 12

αL = 6g

α = 6g/L

α = 6 × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m

α = 58.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m

α = 14.7 rad/s²

So, the angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²
