A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 95.8 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.325 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.530 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 15.1 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown (a) directly forward in one case and (b) directly backward in another.

Answer:

a)0.48 m/s

b) 0.583 m/s

Explanation:

As the wagon rolls,

momentum'p'= m x v => 95.8 x 0.530 = 50.774 Kgm/s

(a)Rock is thrown forward,

momentum of rock = 0.325 x 15.1 =  4.9075 Kgm/s

Conservation of momentum says momentum of wagon is given by

50.774 - 4.9075 = 45.8665

Therefore, Speed of wagon = 45.8665 / (95.8-0.325) = 0.48 m/s

(b) Rock is thrown backward,

momentum of wagon = 50.774  + 4.9075 = 55.68  Kgm/s

Therefore, speed of wagon = 55.68 / (95.8-0.325) = 0.583 m/s

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where h corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), c is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and \lambda is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J

Tranform the units

1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.
