Answer:

Explanation:

A 40kg child throw stone of 0.5kg

At a direction of 5m/s

Recoil can be calculated using recoil of a gun formula

m_1•v_1 + m_2•v_2

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

The negative sign show that the momentum of the boy is directed oppositely to that of the stone

m_1 Is mass of boy

v_1 is the recoil velocity of the boy

m_2 is mass of stone

v_2 is the velocity of stone

Then,

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

40•v_1 = -0.5 × 5

40•v_1 = -2.5

v_1 = -2.5 / 40

v_1 = -0.0625 m/s

The recoil velocity of the boy is 0.0625 m/s

1. A 25.35-g piece of iron absorbs 1562.75 Joules of heat energy, and its temperature
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Q = C M T        where C is the specific, M the mass, T the temperature change

Note 1 cal = 4.19 Joules

1562.75 J / (4.19 J/cal) = 378 cal

C = Q / (M * T) = 378 cal / (25.35 g * 155 deg C)

C = .096 cal / g deg C

A force gives a 5.0 kg object an acceleration of 2.0 m/s 2. The same force would give a 20 kg object an acceleration of _____. 0
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

m = 5 kg

a = 2 m/s²

to find the force that accelerates the 4 kg object @ 2 m/s²

F = ma = 5 kg x 2 m/s² = 10 N

To find what acceleration 10 N would give a 20 kg object

a = F/m = 10 N/20 kg = 0.5 m/s

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

How did the magnet’s density measurement using the Archimedes’ Principle compare to the density measurement using the calculated
guapka [62]

Answer:

The two methods will yield different results as one is subject to experimental errors that us the Archimedes method of measurement, the the density measurement method will be more accurate

Explanation:

This is because the density method using the calculated volume will huve room for less errors that's occur in practical method i.e Archimedes method due to human error
