Answer:

Light travels fastest in gas

Explanation:

Light is likely to hit a molecule and then gets re-emitted, extending the amount of time the light take to get through a certain distance of the medium

Gas > liquid > solid

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.24-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.01 cm and has a force

salantis [7]

Answer:

Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg

Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm

So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m

Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m

Frictional force f = 0.031 N

Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m

Energy gained by spring

$KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.08\times 0.0501^2=0.0101J$

Energy lost due to friction

$W=Fd=0.031\times 0.158=0.0048J$

So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J

This energy will be kinetic energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.0052$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00524\times v^2=0.0052$

v = 1.40 m/sec

a projectile is fired in such away that its horizontal range is equal to three times its naximum height.what is the angle of pro

finlep [7]

Answer:

$\theta=53.13^o$

Explanation:

<u>2-D Projectile Motion</u>

In 2-D motion, there are two separate components of the acceleration, velocity and displacement. The horizontal component has zero acceleration, while the acceleration in the vertical direction is always the acceleration due to gravity. The basic formulas for this type of movement are

$V_x=V_{ox}=V_ocos\theta$

$V_y=V_{oy}-gt=V_osin\theta-gt$

$x=V_{ox}t$

$\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle x_{max}=\frac{2V_{ox}V_{oy}}{g}$

$\displaystyle y_{max}=\frac{V_{oy}^2}{2g}$

The projectile is fired in such a way that its horizontal range is equal to three times its maximum height. We need to find the angle \theta at which the object should be launched. The range is the maximum horizontal distance reached by the projectile, so we establish the base condition:

$x_{max}=3y_{max}$

$\displaystyle \frac{2V_{ox}V_{oy}}{g}=3\frac{V_{oy}^2}{2g}$

Using the formulas for $V_{ox}, V_{oy}:$

$\displaystyle \frac{2V_{o}cos\theta V_{o}sin\theta}{g}=3\frac{V_{o}^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

Simplifying

$4cos\theta sin\theta=3sin^2\theta$

Dividing by $sin\theta$

$4cos\theta=3sin\theta$

Rearranging

$tan\theta=\frac{4}{3}$

$\theta=arctan\frac{4}{3}$

$\theta=53.13^o$

Two charged objects, A and B, are exerting an electric force on each other. What will happen if the charge on A is increased?

ozzi

Answer: The forces acting on both of them will increase in magnitude.

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their two charges. If the charge on A is increased this product increases in size (it must have been non-zero to begin with, since there was a force between them at first). Thus, the force between them rises.
