Answer:

The distance is 3.1 m

Explanation:

The position vector of the fly relative to the corner of the wall is

r = (3.1, 0.5).

The distance of the fly from the corner will be calculated as the magnitude of the vector "r"

magnitude of vector  r = \sqrt{(3.1 m)^{2} + (0.5 m)^{2}} = 3.1 m

Since the numbers to be added have only one decimal place 3.<u>1</u> and 0.<u>5</u>, the result of the sum will have to have one decimal place. The result of the square root will also have one decimal place.

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N. What is the mechanical advantage of this system? How many sections of
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 3

Explanation:

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N.

The mechanical advantage of the system is given by the ratio of output force to the input force.

Here, output force = 300 N and input force = 100 N

Mechanical advantage,

m=\dfrac{300}{100}\\\\m=3

Mechanical advantage is 3 it means that there are 3 sections of rope support. Hence, this is the required solution.

A bubble, located 0.200 m beneath the surface in a glass of beer, rises to the top. The air pressure at the top is 1.01 ???? 10
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

the ratio of the bubble’s volume at the top to its volume at the bottom is 1.019

Explanation:

given information

h = 0.2 m

P_{0} = 1.01  x 10^{5} Pa

P_{1} V_{1} = P_{2} V_{2}

\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1}} = \frac{P_{1} }{P_{2}}

P_{1}  = P_{0}  + ρgh, ρ = 1000 kg/m^{3}

P_{1}  = 1.01 x 10^{5} Pa + (1000 x 9.8 x 0.2) = 1,0296 x 10^{5} Pa

P_{2}  = P_{0}  = 10^{5} Pa

thus,

\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1}} = 1,0296 x [tex]10^{5}/10^{5} = 1.019

Even if there were some friction on the ice, it is still possible to use conservation of momentum to solve this problem, but you
hjlf

The problem referred to in this question is missing and it is;

Two hockey pucks of identical mass are on a flat, horizontal ice hockey rink. The red puck is motionless; the blue puck is moving at 2.5 m/s to the left. It collides with the motionless red puck. The pucks have a mass of 15 g. After the collision, the red puck is moving at 2.5 m/s, to the left. What is the final velocity of the blue puck?

Answer:

The condition is that p_f - p_i which is the change in momentum will not be equal to zero but equal to the impulse (Ft).

Explanation:

In the problem described, by inspection, we can say that since there is no friction, we have a closed system and thus momentum is conserved.

Since momentum is conserved, we can say that;

Initial momentum(p_i) = final momentum(p_f)

Now, in this question we are told that some friction wants to be introduced on the ice and it's possible to still use conservation of momentum.

From impulse - momentum theory, we know that;

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse is zero when no force is acting on the ice and we have; 0 = p_f - p_i

This will yield initial momentum = final momentum.

Now, since a force is applied, we know that impulse is; J = F × t

Thus;

Ft = p_f - p_i

Where F is the force due to friction.

Thus, the condition is that p_f - p_i will not be equal to zero
