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

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: 6.175 km

Explanation:

from the question, we have the following

velocity of the automobile = 95 km/g

velocity of the train = 75 km/h

length of the train = 1.30 km

since the automobile and the train are moving in the same direction, we need to find the velocity of the car relative to the train which will be their difference in speed = 95 - 75 = 20 km/h

we need to find the time it takes the automobile to overtake the train using the formula time = distance / speed , with the distance being the length of the train.

time (t) = 1.3 / 20

= 0.065 hour

now we can find the distance traveled by the automobile using the the time taken for it to overtake the train and the speed of the automobile.

therefore, distance = speed x time

     distance = 95 x 0.065 =6.175 km

An incandescent light bulb produces light when electrons flow through the
azamat
<span>Electric current passes through a filament of an incandescent bulb, thereby increasing it temperature. When current flows, it contains electrons through the filament to produce light. The answer is c. Typically, incandescent light bulb consists of a glass enclosure that contains tungsten filament. The glass enclosure contains either a vacuum or an inert gas that serves as the filament protection from evaporating. Incandescent light bulbs contain a stem attached at to its base to allow the electrical contacts to run through the envelope without gas or air leaks</span>

Describe how light is used in modern forms of communication.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:Visible light communication (VLC) is a wireless method that uses light emitted by LEDs to deliver networked, mobile, high-speed communication similar to Wi-Fi, leading to the term Li-Fi. It can be used as standalone solution or in a supplementary role to radio-frequency (RF) or cellular network communication

If a ping pong ball and a golf ball are both moving in the same direction with the same amount of kinetic energy, the speed of t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then

(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Multiply each side by 2:

      (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :

     (mass of ppb)/(mass of gb)  =  (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²

Take square root of each side:

       √ (ratio of their masses)  =  ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²

By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written.  Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:

If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.

If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.

The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.

The directions of their motions are irrelevant.
