During a circus act, a performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of m1 = 7.5

kg and the horizontal component of its velocity is v = 8.85 m/s when the performer, of mass m2 = 61.5 kg, catches it.
If the performer is on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his recoil velocity?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

total Initial momentum =

7.5 x 8.85 = 66.375 kg m / s

total mass = 7.5 + 61.5 = 69 kg , common velocity of ball and performer be v

Total momentum = 69 v

69 v  = 66.375

v = 66.375 / 69

= .962 m /s .

A 1000-kg car is slowly picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. The coefficient of static f
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

18.5 m/s

Explanation:

On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:

\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

\mu is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\sqrt{\mu gr}

And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:

v=\sqrt{(0.350)(9.8 m/s^2)(100 m)}=18.5 m/s

The logarithm of x, written log(x), tells you the power to which you would raise 10 to get x. So, if y=log(x), then x=10^y. It i
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The function which is inverse to exponentiation is called logarithm.

It is of the form

log\ x=y\\\Rightarrow log_{10}\ x=y\\\Rightarrow 10^y=x

The 10 here is the base of the logarithm. The logarithm with base 10 is called common logarithm

log_{10}1000000=y\\\Rightarrow 10^y=1000000\\\Rightarrow 10^6=1000000\\\Rightarrow y=6

So, log(1,000,000) = 6

Does everything in a black hole contain a singularity?
Lapatulllka [165]
In the real universe, no black holes contain singularities. In general, singularities are the non-physical mathematical result of a flawed physical theory.
