Answer:

The x - intercept is 1/3

The y - intercept is 1/2

The gradient is -3/2

Explanation:

To find the x - intercept of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we find the value of x when y = 0. So,

2y + 3x = 1

2(0) + 3x = 1

0 + 3x = 1

3x = 1

x = 1/3

So, the x - intercept is 1/3

To find the y - intercept of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we find the value of y when x = 0. So,

2y + 3x = 1

2y + 3(0) = 1

2y + 0 = 1

2y = 1

y = 1/2

So, the y - intercept is 1/2

To find the gradient of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we re-write it in gradient intercept form by making y subject of the formula.

So, 2y + 3x = 1

2y = -3x + 1

y = -3x/2 + 1/2

The coefficient of x which equals -3/2 is the gradient.

The gradient is -3/2

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$ ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

$p=m.v$

Now, equation (1) becomes:

$F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}$

∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)

$\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}$

and, $\frac{dv}{dt} =a$

where: a = acceleration

$\Rightarrow F=m.a$

also

$F\propto \frac{1}{dt}$

so, more the time, lesser the force.

& Impulse:

$I=F.dt$

$I=m.a.dt$

$I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt$

$I=m.dv=dp$

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.

In a shipping company distribution center, an open cart of mass 50.0 kg is rolling to the left at a speed of 5.00 m/s. Ignore fr

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

a) $v_p=9.35m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Open cart of mass $M_o=50.0 kg$

Speed of cart $V=5.00m/s$

Mass of package $M_p=15.0kg$

Speed of package at end of chute $V_c=3.00m/s$

Angle of inclination $\angle =37$

Distance of chute from bottom of cart $d_x=4.00m$

Generally the equation for work energy theory is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv_p^2$

Therefore

$\frac{1}{2}u^2+gh=\frac{1}{2}v_p^2$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}u^2+gh)}$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}v_c^2+gd_x)}$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}(3)^2+(9.8)(4))}$

$v_p=9.35m/s$

Two people are standing on a 1.75-m-long platform, one at each end. The platform floats parallel to the ground on a cushion of a

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

0.05312 m

Explanation:

Given:

Length of platform L = 1.75 m

mass of ball m_b = 5.76 kg

mass of (people + platform) m_p = 184 kg

Initial Velocity of ball V_i,b = 0

Initial Velocity of ball (people + platform) V_i,p = 0

Find:

How far does the platform recoils to rest

Solution:

Using the conservation of momentum on ust before and after the ball was thrown P_i = P_f :

Where, P_i = 0 (initially at rest)

P_f = m_p*V_f,p + m_b * V_f,b

0 = m_p*V_f,p + m_b * V_f,b

V_f,p = - (m_b /m_p) * V_f,b

V_f,p = - (5.76 / 184)*V_f,b

V_f,p = - 0.0313*V_f,b ....1

The time the ball is in air:

t = L / (V_f,b - V_f,p) ...2

The distance that the platform moves d:

d = V_f,p *t ....3

Substitute 2 into 3

d = V_f,p*L /(V_f,b - V_f,p) .... 4

Solve 1 and 4 simultaneously :

d = - m_b*L / (m_b + m_p)

d = - 5.76*1.75 / (5.76 + 184)

d = -0.05312 m

The platform moves 0.05312 m to the opposite to which the ball is thrown.

As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the circuit a. Increasesb. Decreasesc. Remains the same

erik [133]

Answer:

b. Decreases

Explanation:

The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

$R_T=R_1+R_2+...+R_n$ (1)

Therefore, as we add more lamps, the total resistance increases (because we add more positive tems in the sum in eq.(1).

The current in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R_T}$

where V is the voltage provided by the power source and $R_T$ is the total resistance. We notice that the current, I, is inversely proportional to the total resistance: therefore, when more lamps are added to the series circuit, the total resistance increases, and therefore the current in the circuit decreases.
