An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of projectiles fired from high-performance catapults. The catapults are place

d very close to a pendulum bob of mass 10.0 kg attached to a massless rod of length L. Assume that catapult 1 fires a projectile of mass 5.50 g at speed v1 and catapult 2 fires a projectile of mass 10.0 g at speed v2. If the projectile from catapult 1 causes the pendulum to swing to a maximum angular displacement of 6.80 ∘ and the projectile from catapult 2 causes a displacement of 11.4 ∘, find the ratio of the initial speeds, v1v2 .

Answer:1.084

Explanation:

Given

mass of Pendulum M=10 kg

mass of bullet m=5.5 gm

velocity of bullet u

After collision let say velocity is v

conserving momentum we get

mu=(M+m)v

v=\frac{m}{M+m}\times u

Conserving Energy for Pendulum

Kinetic Energy=Potential Energy

\frac{(M+m)v^2}{2}=(M+m)gh

here h=L(1-\cos \theta ) from diagram

therefore

v=\sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}

initial velocity in terms of v

u=\frac{M+m}{m}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}

For first case \theta =6.8^{\circ}

u_1=\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}

for second case \theta =11.4^{\circ}

u_2=\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}

Therefore \frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}}{\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}}

\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{1819.181\times 0.0838}{1001\times 0.1404}

\frac{u_1}{u_2}=1.084

i.e.\frac{v_1}{v_2}=1.084

Which part of a feedback mechanism is able to monitor the conditions outside of cells and usually uses nerve cells to relay this
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: A.) sensor

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of the organism's inner body to regulate the internal environment in stable state with respect to the changes occurring in the external environment. It is usually done by the feedback controls.  

The maintenance of homeostasis within the body is essential. The following are the factors which controls the homeostasis. These includes:

1. Stimulus: It generate a response. It is an external factor which brings change in the internal body of the organism.

2. Receptor/ sensor: It detects the external stimulus and responds to the change.

3. Control center: The information from the receptor travels along the afferent pathway towards the control center. The function of the control center is to determine the response and controls the action.

4. Effector: The information from the control center travels down the efferent pathway to the effector. The function of the effector is to balance the stimulus to regulate and maintain homeostasis.

A 2 kg object being pulled across the floor with a speed of 10 m/sec is suddenly
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The frictional force producing this deceleration would have a magnitude of 4\; \rm N.

Explanation:

The velocity of this object changed by \Delta v = (-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}) in \Delta t = 5\; \rm s. The acceleration of this object would be:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\ &= \frac{-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}}{5\; \rm s} = -2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this object. By Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force on this object would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= m \, a \\ &= 2\; \rm kg \times (-2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}) \\ &= -4\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

(1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} = 1\; {\rm N}.)

If the floor is level, friction would be the only unbalanced force on this object. Thus, the magnitude of the frictional force on this object would also be 4\; {\rm N}, same as the magnitude of the net force on this object.

What method of separation would work best on a homogeneous mixture salt water?
Lera25 [3.4K]
The appropriate answer is c. evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes to a gas and in this case is the best way to remove the water from the homogenous mixture. The reaction can be sped up by heating the mixture. All the water will eventually evaporate leaving behind the sodium chloride crystals as a precipitate.
Filtration works best on mixtures that have precipitates and distillation is for separating liquids with different boiling points.

Shakina and Juliette set the car's initial velocity to zero and set the acceleration to +1.2 m/s2, then clicked "start." Answer
Katarina [22]
Let's start by differentiating the terms distance and displacement. They both refer to the length of paths. Distance only accounts for the total length regardless of the path taken. Displacement measures the linear path from the starting point to the end point. So, it does not necessarily follow the actual path. However, for this problem, assuming that the path is just in one direction, displacement and distance would just be equal. The equation would be:

Distance = Displacement =  v₀t + 0.5at² = 0(10 s) + 0.5(+1.2 m/s²)(10 s)²
Distance = Displacement = 60 meters

If two cars have the same velocity do they have the same acceleration
Allisa [31]
No, if it takes less time, the acceleration is greater.

Hope this helps!
