HELP: When Jane drives to work, she always places her purse on the passenger's seat. By the time she gets to work, her purse has

fallen on the floor in front of the passenger seat. One day, she asks you to explain why this happens in terms of physics. What do you say?

a force is a push or pull that acts upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object.  Newtons third law of motion suggests that something standing still will stay that way until another force pushes it.  This applies to Janes bag.  Every time Jane hits the brakes in her car, her bag will move forward until it finally falls off the seat.

A garden hose having with an internal diameter of 1.1 cm is connected to a (stationary) lawn sprinkler that consists merely of a
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Water leaves the sprinkler at a speed of 2.322 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given internal diameter of the garden d_1=1.1cm

Speed of water in the hose is v_1=0.95m/sec

Number of holes n = 22

Diameter of each holes d_2=15cm

According to continuity equation A_1v_1=A_2v_2

d_1^2\times v_1=22\times d_2^2v_2

1.1^2\times 0.95=22\times 0.15^2\times v_2

v_2=2.322m/sec

So water leaves the sprinkler at a speed of 2.322 m/sec

How much heat must be added to make a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC that has its temperature go up 10 degrees? Q =
zlopas [31]

Answer:

100 Joule

Explanation:

Amount of heat in agiven body is given by Q = m•C•ΔT

where m is the mass of the body

c is the specific heat capacity of body. It is the amount of heat stored in 1 unit weight of body which raises raises the temperature of body by 1 unit of temperature.

ΔT is the change in the temperature of body

___________________________________________

coming back to problem

m = 5g

C = 2J/gC

since, it is given that temperature of body increases by 10 degrees, thus

ΔT = 10 degrees

Using the formula for heat as given

Q = m•C•ΔT

Q = 5* 2 * 10  Joule= 100 Joule

Thus, 100 joule heat must be added to  a  5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC to raise its temperature go up by 10 degrees.

A transformer consisting of two coils wrapped around an iron core is connected to a generator and a resistor (Resistor is connec
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The peak emf of the generator is 40.94 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in primary coil= 11

Number of turns in secondary coil= 18

Peak voltage = 67 V

We nee to calculate the peak emf

Using relation of number of turns and emf

\dfrac{N_{1}}{N_{2}}=\dfrac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}

E_{1}=\dfrac{N_{1}}{N_{2}}\times E_{2}

Where, N₁ = Number of turns in primary coil

N₂ = Number of turns in secondary coil

E₂ = emf across secondary coil

Put the value into the formula

E_{1}=\dfrac{11}{18}\times67

E_{1}=40.94\ V

Hence, The peak emf of the generator is 40.94 V.

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.
