Answer: 0.5 m/s
Explanation:
Given
Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s
Total mass, m = 96.5 kg
Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg
Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s
To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum
Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns
When the man throws the rock forward
rock:
m1 = 0.300 kg
V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man
m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg
v2 = ?
Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.
momentum before throw = momentum after throw
53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2
53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2
v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2
v2 = 47.83 / 96.2
v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s
Answer: The major challenges are as
1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.
2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.
3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.
Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.
Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv2
= 1/2 x 2 x 3^2

Answer:
Answer is C. Both technicians A and B.
Refer below.
Explanation:
Two technicians are discussing the testing of a catalytic converter. Technician A says that a vacuum gauge can be used and observed to see if the vacuum drops with the engine at 2500 RPM for 30 seconds. Technician B says that a pressure gauge can be used to check for backpressure. The following technician is correct:
Both technicians A and B
High amplitude sound would be music, radio, or earthquakes.
Low amplitude sound would be a breeze or wind.
