A 10 kg bear is running to the right at 10 m/s. He crashes into another 10 kg bear running to the left at -5 m/s. They collide a

nd stick together, and move on together at 2.5 m/s. Write at least 2 or 3 sentences explaining whether momentum was conserved in this situation.

Answer:

<em>Total momentum is conserved</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The momentum is a physical magnitude that measures the product of the object's velocity by its mass. The total momentum of a system is the sum of all its components' individual momentums. The two-bear system starts with a total moment of  

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(10)(10)+(10)(-50)=50\ kg.m/s

When both bears stick together, the total mass is 20 kg, and the new momentum is

p'=(20)(2.5)=50 \ kg.m/s

We have assumed both bears move to the right after the collision. In this situation, the total momentum is conserved

After you enlarge a map, which one of the following scale remains correct?
9966 [12]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

An scale is the factor by which actual features on ground are enlarged or reduced for representing on a plane. There are different kinds of scales:

  • Verbal scale use of words to represent scale information on the map.  The distance or linear units are used for depicting this scale on the map.  For example: 1 inch = 1 Kilo meter.
  • Fractional scale uses the numbers or values for showing the scale instead of words. As the name says, it is represented using a fraction or ratio.  Example: 1: 10,000 or 1/10,000
  • In large scale more details are shown in a map, however, less area coverage will be shown in a single map as the scale is large and more details are given.  Example: 1:500
  • Small scale is exactly opposite to the large scale, less details are shown as magnification is not enough, however a large amount of area can be shown in a single map.  Example: 1:25,000
  • A graphic scale is a bar that has been calibrated to show map distances. On maps that have been reduced or enlarged the original ratio and written scales are incorrect, since the relationship between map distance and real world distance has been altered, graphic scale is enlarged or reduced to the same extent as the map, this makes it the right option.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The work function for tungsten metal is 4.52eV a. What is the cutoff (threshold) wavelength for tungsten? b. What is the maximum
Tanya [424]

Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:

h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.

In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0

in this case  h*ν=W

(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV

λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV

λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm

From this h*ν = Ek+W;  we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm

then we have

(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek

Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV

Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this  acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.

A piece of styrofoam has a charge of 0.002 mC and is placed 0.5 m from a grain of salt with a charge of 0.03 nC. How much electr
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

2.16×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = kqq'/r² (coulomb's Law)....................... Equation 1

Where F = electrostatic force, k = coulomb's constant, q = charge on the styrofoam, q' = charge on the grain of salt, r = distance between the charges.

From the question,

Given: q = 0.002 mC = 2.0×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 0.03 nC = 3.0×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 0.5 m

Constant: k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (2.0×10⁻⁶)(3.0×10⁻¹¹)(8.99×10⁹)/0.5²

F = 2.16×10⁻⁶ N

suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance be
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 <span>candela</span>
