William Tell shoots an apple from his son's head. The speed of the 105-g arrow just before it strikes the apple is 24.3 m/s, and

at the time of impact it is traveling horizontally. If the arrow sticks in the apple and the arrow/apple combination strikes the ground 9.50 m behind the son's feet, how massive was the apple? Assume the son is 1.85 m tall.

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to conservation of the Moment and the cinematic equations of movement description. By definition we know that the conservation of the moment is given by

$m_1V_1 = (m_1+m_2)V$

Where,

$m_i =$ Mass

$V_i =$ Velocity

From the kinematic equations of motion we know that displacement as a function of acceleration (in this case gravity) is given by,

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Where h is the height, g the gravity and t the time,

$t= \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

The horizontal velocity would be given as,

$V = \frac{X}{t}$

$V = \frac{X}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}$

$V = \frac{9.5}{\sqrt{\frac{2(1.85)}{9.8}}}$

$V= 5.83m/s$

Replacing in our first equation we have that

$m_1V_1 = (m_1+m_2)V$

Solving for $m_2$

$m_2 = m_1(\frac{V1}{V} - 1)= 0.105 (\frac{24.3}{5.83} - 1)$

$m_2=0.332kg = 332g$

Therefore the apple had 332g.

If all this energy is added to 50 kg of water (the amount of water in a 165-lb person) at 37 ∘C, what is the final state of the

Reika [66]

Answer:

Vapors

Explanation:

We take into account that all the energy from the lightning has been transformed into steam.

$\Delta U = Q - W\\Q = mC \Delta T\\Q = mL$

We calculate the amount of energy required by water to convert into steam.

$Q_{water} = 50 \times \times 4180 \times (100-37)\\= 1.132 \times 10^7 \ J$

$Q_{change\ to\ steam} = 50 \times 2.256 \times 106 \\= 1.128 \times 10^8 \ J$

$Q_{total} = 1.132 \times 10^7 + 1.128 \times 10^8\\= 1.126 \times 10^8 \ J$

From the lightning we received $10^{10} \ J$ of energy, out of which $1.126 \times 10^8$ has been used to convert the water into steam.

Energy left = $10^{10} - 1.126 \times 10^8 = 9.88 \times 10^9 \ J$

We use this energy to convert steam into vapors.

$Q = \Delta E$

$Q = \Delta E = mc (T_{f} - T{i})\\T_{f} = \frac {\Delta E}{mc} + T_{i}\\ \\T_{f} = 100 + \frac{9.88 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1970}\\T_{f} = 100 + 10^8\\T_{f} = 10 ^{ \ 8} \ {^ \circ } C$

With this temperature, we can easily interpret that the vapors will be dissociated in hydrogen and oxygen particles.

A solid conducting sphere with radius R carries a positive total charge Q. The sphere is surrounded by an insulating shell with

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the insulating shell is,

$V_{shell}=\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)$

Charge density of the shell is,

$\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)}$

Here, $R_2 =2R, R_1 =R \,and\, Q_{shell} =-Q$

$\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi((2R)^3-R^3)}=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}$

B)

The electric field is $E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}$

For 0 <r<R the electric field is zero, because the electric field inside the conductor is zero.

C)

For R <r <2R According to gauss law

$E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}+\frac{4\pi\rho}{3\epsilon_0}(r^3-R^3)$

substitute $\rho=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}$

$E=\frac{2}{7\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}-\frac{Qr}{28\piR^3}$

D)

The net charge enclosed for each r in this range is positive and the electric field is outward

E)

For r>2R

Charge enclosed is zero, so electric field is zero
