During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of

29.0 kg and its horizontal component of velocity is 8.00 m/s when the 65.0 kg performer catches it. If the performer is on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his recoil velocity in meters per second?

Answer:

2.4681 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of cannon ball = 29 kg

m_2 = Mass of performer = 65 kg

u_1 = Initial Velocity of cannon ball = 8 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of performer = 0 m/s

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the linear momentum of the system conserved

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1 + m_2u_2}{m_1 + m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{29\times 8 + 65\times 0}{29 + 65}\\\Rightarrow v=2.4681\ m/s

The recoil velocity is 2.4681 m/s

B. 60 cm 

  All parallel light rays are bent through the focal point of a convex lens, so the rays from the flashlight 150 cm above the floor must go through the same point on the principal axis as the rays from the flashlight 120 cm above the floor. The location of the focal point does not change when the position of the object is moved either vertically or horizontally.

A pipe originally has a radius of 1.25m. It narrows down to a radius of 0.55m. If the original force in the big pipe is 72N, wha
Gemiola [76]

Use direct proportionality: If 1.25 m = 72 N, then 0.55 m = y

0.55 m × 72 = 39.6.

39.6÷1,25 gives you your answer which is 31.68 N.

You need to estimate the floor area of your unusual oval shaped living room from memory you remember that it is longer than wide
REY [17]

Answer:

Our estimate not done correctly because the width was unrealistic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 6 m

Width = 0.5 m

We need to calculate the area of rectangular floor

Using formula of area

A=l\times w

Where, l = length

w= width

Put the value into the formula

A=6\times0.5

A=3\ m^2

We need to find why this estimate not done correct

Using given data

We can say that,

We assume width was unrealistic.

The length of room is 6 m.

We know that,

1\ m=3.28\ feet

So, the length would be 20 feet.

The width of room is 0.5 m.

The width of room would be 1.64 feet.

So, the area will be

A=20\times1.64

A=32.8\ feet^2

Hence,  Our estimate not done correctly because the width was unrealistic.

What is its diameter when the temperature is raised to 100 degrees Celsius? (b) What temperature change is required to increase
alexandr1967 [171]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A spherical steel ball bearing has a diameter of 2.540cm at 25.00∘C.

(a) What is its diameter when it's temperature is raised to

100∘C?

(b) What temperature change is required to increase its volume by

1.000% ?

Answer:

a) 2.542 cm

b) 303.03°C

Explanation:

Given;

Diameter of the ball= 2.540cm

Initial temperature= 25.0°C

Final temperature= 100.0°C

Percentage increase in volume = 1.000%

Temperature coefficient of expansion for steel =11.0×10^−6/∘C

d2= d1[1 + α(T2-T1)]

d2= 2.540[1 + 11.0×10^−6(100-25)]

d2= 2.540[1 + 8.25×10^-4]

d2= 2.542 cm

From;

%V ×1/100 = V ×3α ×∆T/ V

Substituting values;

1.000 ×1/100= 3× 11.0×10^−6 × ∆T

∆T= 0.01/3× 11.0×10^−6

∆T= 303.03°C
