Describe a real-world example of the law of conservation of momentum.

1 answer:

4 0

Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.

If trees have leaves, then birds nests will increase. What the independent variable and the dependent variable?

Marianna [84]

The amount of birds nests depends on whether or not the trees have more or less leaves.

The independent should be the trees/leaves.

The dependent variable should be the birds nests.

Hope this helped ^-^

Three +3.0-μC point charges are at the three corners of a square of side 0.50 m. The last corner is occupied by a −3.0-μC charge

kramer

Answer:

E = 440816.32 N/C

Explanation:

Given data:

Three point charge of charge equal to +3.0 micro coulomb

fourth point charge = - 3.0 micro coulomb

side of square = 0.50 m

$K =1/4 \pi \epsilon_0 = 8.99 \times 10^9$ N.m^2/c^2

Due to having equal charge on center of square, 2 charge produce equal electric field at center and other two also produce electric field at center of same value

So we have

$E_1 + E_3 = 0$

$E =E_2 + E_4$

$E = 2 E_2$

[ $E_2 =\frac{2\times k \times q}{r^2}$

[ $r= \frac{(0.5^2 + 0.5^2)^2}{2} = 0.35 m$ ]

plugging all value

$E = 2 E_2$

$E = 2 E_2 =\frac{2\times k \times q}{r^2}$

$E = \frac{2 \times 8.99 \times 10^93\times 10^{-6}}{0.35^2}$

E = 440816.32 N/C

A pot on the stove contains 200 g of water at 20°C. An unknown mass of ice that is originally at −10°C is placed in an identical

Mumz [18]

Answer:

a) The mass of the ice is smaller than the mass of the water

b) The ice reaches first 80°C ,

Explanation:

Since the heat Q that should be provided to ice

Q = sensible heat to equilibrium temperature (as ice) + latent heat + sensible heat until final temperature ( as water)

m ice * c ice * ( T equil -T initial ) + m ice* L + m ice* c water * ( T final - T equil)

and the heat Q that should be provided to water is

Q= m water * c water * ( T final - T equil )

since the rate of heat addition q = constant and the time t taken to reach the final temperature is the same , then the heat absorbed Q=q*t is the same for both, therefore

m water * c water * ( T final - T equil ) = m ice* [c ice *( T equil -T initial ) + L + c water * ( T final - T equil)]

m water/ m ice = [c ice * ( T equil -T initial ) + L + c water * ( T final - T equil)]/ [ c water * ( T final - T equil)]

m water/ m ice = [c ice * ( T equil -T initial ) + L ]/[c water * ( T final - T equil) ] + 1

since [c ice * ( T equil -T initial ) + L ]/[c water * ( T final - T equil) ] >0 , then

m water/ m ice > 1

m water > m ice

so the mass of ice is smaller that the mass of water

b) Since the heat Q that should be provided to the ice, starting from 55°C mass would be

Q ice= m ice * c water * ( T final2 - T final1 )

and for the water mass

Q water = m water * c water * ( T final2 - T final1 )

dividing both equations

Q water / Q ice = m water / m ice >1

thus

Q water > Q ice

since the heat addition rate is constant

Q water = q* t water and Q ice=q* t ice

therefore

q* t water > q* t ice

t water > t ice

so the time that takes to reach 80°C is higher for water , thus the ice mass reaches it first.
