A student builds a rocket-propelled cart for a science project. Its acceleration is not quite high enough to win a prize, so he

uses a larger rocket engine that provides 39% more thrust, although doing so increases the mass of the cart by 13%. By what percentage does the cart's acceleration increase?

Answer:

Explanation:

a = F / m

where a is acceleration , F is thrust and m is mass

taking log and differentiating

da / a = dF / F - dm / m

(da / a)x 100 = (dF / F)x100 - (dm / m) x100

percentage increase in a = percentage increase in F - percentage increase in m

= percentage increase in acceleration a   = 39 - 13 = 26 %

required increase = 26 %.

Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45 kg, is gliding to the right at
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1} in the direction of motion of Jacob

Explanation:

Given:

mass  of Jacob, m_j=45\ kg

velocity of Jacob, v_j=8.08\ m.s^{-1}

mass of Ethan, m_e=31\ kg

velocity of Ethan, v_e=10.9\ m.s^{-1}

Now using the conservation of linear momentum for the case:

(When the two masses in motion combine to form one after the collision then they will move together in the direction of the greater momentum.)

(m_j+m_e).v=m_j.v_j-m_e.v_e

(45+31)\times v=45\times 8.08-31\times 10.9

v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1} in the direction of motion of Jacob as it was assumed to be positive.

In a crossing situation, which vessel is required to maintain its course and speed?
makvit [3.9K]

Both in the domestic and international guidelines tell that when two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to contain risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side (the give-way vessel) must keep out of the way.

If you are the give-way vessel, it is your responsibility to avoid a collision. Normally, this means you must change speed or direction to cross behind the other vessel which is the stand-on vessel.

At evening, when you perceive a red light crossing right-to-left in front of you, you need to change your course. But if you perceive a green light crossing from left-to-right, you are the stand-on vessel, and should maintain course and speed.

The leading situations of collision risk are meeting head-on, overtaking, and crossing. When one of two vessels is to keep out of the way (give-way vessel), the other, the stand-on vessel, must uphold course and speed.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

λ = 0.4 x 10⁻⁶ m = 400 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency, wavelength and speed of an electromagnetic wave is given as follows:

c = f\lambda

where,

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of the light wave = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz

λ = wavelength of the light = ?

Therefore,

3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s = (7.5\ x\ 10^{14}\ Hz)\lambda\\\\\lambda = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{7.5\ x\ 10^{14}\ Hz}

<u>λ = 0.4 x 10⁻⁶ m = 400 nm</u>
