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 .

How can you change the phases of matter using thermal energy
Leokris [45]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.

You need to design a 60.0-Hz ac generator that has a maximum emf of 5200 V. The generator is to contain a 130-turn coil that has
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

B =  0.129 T

Explanation:

Given,

frequency, f = 60 Hz

maximum  emf = 5200 V

Number of turns, N = 130

Area per turn = 0.82 m²

We know,

ω = 2 π f

ω = 2 π x 60 = 376.99 rad/s

now, Magnetic field calculation

B =\dfrac{\epsilon_{max}}{NA\omega}

B =\dfrac{5200}{130\times 0.82\times 376.99}

B =  0.129 T

Hence, the magnetic field is equal to B =  0.129 T

Does fire have ways to protect itself from changes in the environment
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

I think no because the critical properties distinguishing life is adaptation to changing environment and self replication of the information encoding the life process. Fire does not change its process to adapt to its environment, e.g. moving toward more fuel or storing and conserving fuel when it is in short supply.

Hope this help you!:)
