A 5 kg fish swimming 2 m/s swallows an absent minded 1 kg fish swimming toward it at a velocity that brings both fish to a halt

immediately after lunch. What is the velocity v of the smaller fish before lunch?
Physics
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]4 years ago

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of large fish, M = 5 Kg

speed of swimming, v' = 2 m/s

mass of small fish, m = 1 kg

speed of the fish = v

using conservation of momentum

m v + M v' = M u' + m u

final speed of both the speed is zero.

- 1 x v + 5 x 2  = 0

negative sign is used because small fish is moving in opposite direction.

now,

v = 10 m/s

hence, the speed of the small fish is equal to 10 m/s.

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed from two 6.0 cm × 6.0 cm electrodes spaced 1.5 mmapart. The capacitor plates are charg
Brilliant_brown [7]

A) 2.4\cdot 10^{-6} J

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:

E=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^2}{C}

where

Q is the charge stored

C is the capacitance

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A=6.0 cm \cdot 6.0 cm=36.0 cm^2=36\cdot 10^{-4} m^2 is the area of each plate

d=1.5 mm=0.0015 m is the distance between the plates

Substituting,

C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(36\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{0.0015 m}=2.1\cdot 10^{-11} F

The charge stored on the capacitor is

Q=10 nC=10\cdot 10^{-9}C

So, the energy stored is

E=\frac{1}{2}\frac{(10\cdot 10^{-9}C)^2}{2.1\cdot 10^{-11} F}=2.4\cdot 10^{-6}J

B) 2.6\cdot 10^{-6}J

This time, the separation between the plates is

d = 1.7 mm = 0.0017 m

So, the new capacitance is

C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(36\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{0.0017 m}=1.9\cdot 10^{-11} F

And so, the new energy stored is

E=\frac{1}{2}\frac{(10\cdot 10^{-9}C)^2}{1.9\cdot 10^{-11} F}=2.6\cdot 10^{-6}J

C)

Energy must be conserved, so the difference between the initial energy of the capacitor and its final energy is just equal to the work done to increase the separation between the two plates from 1.5 mm to 1.7 mm (in fact, the two plates of the capacitor attract each other since they have opposite charge, so work must be done in order to increase their separation)

An apple dropped from the branch of a tree hits the ground in 0.5 s. If the acceleration of the apple during its motion is 10 ms
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Given that,

Time = 0.5 s

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

(I). We need to calculate the speed of apple

Using equation of motion

v=u+at

Where, v = speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=0+10\times0.5

v=5\ m/s

(III). We need to calculate the height of the branch of the tree from the ground

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Put the value into the formula

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times10\times(0.5)^2

s=1.25\ m

(II). We need to calculate the average velocity during 0.5 sec

Using formula of average velocity

v_{avg}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{x_{f}-x_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{0}}

Where, x_{f}= final position

x_{i} = initial position

Put the value into the formula

v_{avg}=\dfrac{1.25+0}{0.5}

v_{avg}=2.5\ m/s

Hence, (I). The speed of apple is 5 m/s.

(II). The average velocity during 0.5 sec is 2.5 m/s

(III). The height of the branch of the tree from the ground is 1.25 m.
