5.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of baseball = 0.15kg

Momentum of baseball = 0.78kgm/s

Unknown:

Speed of baseball = ?

Solution:

The momentum of the baseball is a function of the product of the mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Since the speed of the ball is unknown:

Velocity = $\frac{momentum }{mass}$

= $\frac{0.78}{0.15}$

= 5.2m/s

The speed of the baseball before it lands is 5.2m/s

How much work is done lifting a 12-m chain that is initially coiled on the ground and has a density 2 kg/m so that its top end i

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

2587.2 J.

Explanation:

From potential energy,

The work done to lift the chain = potential energy of the chain.

W = mgh............... Equation 1

Where W = work done to lift the chain, m = mass of the chain, g = acceleration due to gravity of the chain, h = height of the chain.

But,

m = m'd............... Equation 2

Where m' = density of the chain, d = length of the chain.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

W = m'dgh................ Equation 3

Given: m' = 2 kg/m, d = 12 m, h = 11 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

W = 2(12)(11)(9.8)

W = 2587.2 J.

A package is dropped from a helicopter that is descending steadily at a speed v0. After t seconds have elapsed, consider the fol

qaws [65]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = \sqrt{v_o^2 + g^2t^2}$

Part b)

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part c)

$v_f = v_o - gt$

Part d)

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that speed of package is same as that of helicopter in horizontal direction

So after time "t" the velocity in x direction will remain constant while in Y direction it will go free fall

So we have

$v_y = -gt$

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{v_o^2 + g^2t^2}$

Part b)

Distance from helicopter is same as the distance of free fall

so we will have

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part c)

If helicopter is rising upwards with uniform speed

then final speed of the package after time t is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = v_o - gt$

Part d)

distance from helicopter

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

The mean free path of a helium atom in helium gas at standard temperature and pressure is 0.2 um.What is the radius of the heliu

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: $0.10233nm$

Explanation:

The mean free path $\lambda$ of an atom is given by the following formula:

$\lambda=\frac{RT}{\sqrt{2} \pi d^{2}N_{A}P}$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda=0.2\mu m=0.2(10)^{-6}m$

$R=8.3145J/mol.K$ is the Universal gas constant

$T=0\°C=273.115K$ is the absolute standard temperature

$d$ is the diameter of the helium atom

$N_{A}=6.0221(10)^{23}/mol$ is the Avogadro's number

$P=1atm=101.3kPa=101.3(10)^{3}Pa=101.3(10)^{3}J/m^{3}$ absolute standard pressure

Knowing this, let's find $d$ from (1), in order to find the radius $r$ of the helium atom:

$d=\sqrt{\frac{RT}{\sqrt{2}\pi\lambda N_{A}P}}$ (2)

$d=\sqrt{\frac{(8.3145J/mol.K)(273.115K)}{\sqrt{2}\pi(0.2(10)^{-6}m)(6.0221(10)^{23}/mol)(101.3(10)^{3}J/m^{3})}}$ (3)

$d=2.0467(10)^{-10}m$ (4)

If the radius is half the diameter:

$r=\frac{d}{2}$ (5)

Then:

$r=\frac{2.0467(10)^{-10}m}{2}$ (6)

$r=1.0233(10)^{-10}m$ (7)

However, we were asked to find this radius in nanometers. Knowing $1nm=(10)^{-9}m$ :

$r=1.0233(10)^{-10}m.\frac{1nm}{(10)^{-9}m}=0.10233nm$ (8)

Finally:

$r=0.10233nm$ This is the radius of the helium atom in nanometers.
