A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 93.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.310 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.540 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 16.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown directly forward.

Explanation:

Given Data

Total mass=93.5 kg

Rock mass=0.310 kg

Initially wagon speed=0.540 m/s

rock speed=16.5 m/s

To Find

The speed of the wagon

Solution

As the wagon rolls, momentum is given as

P=mv

where

m is mass

v is speed

put the values

P=93.5kg × 0.540 m/s

P =50.49 kg×m/s

Now we have to find the momentum of rock

momentum of rock = mv

momentum of rock = (0.310kg)×(16.5 m/s)

momentum of rock =5.115 kg×m/s

From the conservation of momentum we can find the wagons momentum So

wagon momentum=50.49 -5.115 = 45.375 kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

Speed of wagon=45.375/(93.5-0.310)

Speed of wagon= 0.487 m/s

Throwing rock backward,

momentum of wagon = 50.49+5.115 = 55.605 kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

speed of wagon = 55.605 kg×m/s/(93.5kg-0.310kg)

speed of wagon= 0.5967 m/s

Atoms in a solid are not stationary, but vibrate about their equilibrium positions. Typically, the frequency of vibration is abo

hoa [83]

To develop this problem it is necessary to use the equations of description of the simple harmonic movement in which the acceleration and angular velocity are expressed as a function of the Amplitude.

Our values are given as

$f = 4.11 *10^{12} Hz$

$A = 1.23 * 10^{-11}m$

The angular velocity of a body can be described as a function of frequency as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi 4.11 *10^{12}$

$\omega=2.582*10^{13} rad/s$

PART A) The expression for the maximum angular velocity is given by the amplitude so that

$V = A\omega$

$V =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})$

$V = = 317.586m/s$

PART B) The maximum acceleration on your part would be given by the expression

$a = A \omega^2$

$a =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})^2$

$a= 8.2*10^{15}m/s^2$

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?

kotegsom [21]

<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>
