Answer:

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Let the initial velocity be v.

Initial momentum = 4.4 x v = 4.4v

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 2.9 m/s, due north = 2.9 j m/s

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 6.8 m/s, 35° north of east = 6.9 ( cos 35i + sin35 j ) = 5.62 i + 3.96 j m/s

Final momentum = 2.2 x 2.9 j + 2.2 x (5.62 i + 3.96 j) = 12.364 i + 15.092 j kgm/s

We have

         Initial momentum = Final momentum

         4.4v = 12.364 i + 15.092 j

         v =2.81 i + 3.43 j

Magnitude

        v=\sqrt{2.81^2+3.43^2}=4.43m/s

Direction

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3.43}{2.81}\right )=50.67^0

       50.67° north of east.

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

A swimming pool has the shape of a box with a base that measures 30 m by 10 m and a uniform depth of 2.5 m. How much work is req
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

18,375 kJ

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Density of water: 1000 kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Dimensions of pool = 30m × 10m × 2.5m

Depth of pool = 2.5 m

First we need to find the mass of the water in the pool:

Density = mass/volume

Mass = density * volume

Since the pool is full of water, the volume of the water is equal to the volume of the pool:

Volume = 30 * 10 * 2.5 = 750 m³

Mass = 1000 * 750

Mass = 750,000 kg

We can now find the force required to pump the water out of the pool:

F = m * g

Where m = mass of water

g = acceleration due to gravity

F = 750,000 * 9.8 = 7,350,000 N

The work needed to be done is the product of the force required by the distance the water would need to move to be pumped out (depth of pool):

Work = F * d

Work = 7,350,000 * 2.5

Work = 18,375,000 J = 18,375 kJ

What does the potential energy diagram of a chemical reaction tell you
sattari [20]
By looking at the potential energies before and after the reaction, we can tell that the reaction is exothermic (final < initial) or endodermic (final > initial).

Also, the amount of activation energy gives an idea of the external energy required to initiate the reaction (for example, by heating the reactants).
Furthermore, by the same principle, we can also deduce the activation energy for the reverse reaction.

If a catalyst is available, the diagram will show a reduced activation energy, compared to a reaction without catalyst.  However, it will also show that the catalyst does not alter the initial and final energies of the reaction.

A wheel moves in the xy plane in such a way that the location of its center is given by the equations xo = 12t3 and yo = R = 2,
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s  is   P =  104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}

Explanation:

The free-body  diagram below shows the interpretation of the question; from the diagram , the wheel that is rolling in a clockwise directio will have two velocities at point P;

  • the peripheral velocity that is directed downward (-V_y) along the y-axis
  • the linear velocity (V_x) that is directed along the x-axis

Now;

V_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t^3+2) = 36 t^2

V_x = 36(1.7)^2\\\\V_x = 104.04\ ft/s

Also,

-V_y = R* \omega

where \omega(angular velocity) = \frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(8t^4)

-V_y = 2*32t^3)\\\\\\-V_y = 2*32(1.7^3)\\\\-V_y = 314.432 \ ft/s

∴ the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s  is   P =  104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}

Explain the difference between impulse and impulsive force?
ExtremeBDS [4]
An impulsive force is a force that is acting only during a short time, I mean, for an instant. Impulse is a physics magnitude define by the product of the impulsive force and the time that it was acting.

Is there any mistake in my English? Please, let me know.

Earth's gravitational force just got three times stronger! What happens to your weight?
kicyunya [14]

Your "weight" is the name you give to that gravitational force.
So your question actually says:

           "Your weight just got three times stronger !
             What happens to your weight ?"
