Alexandra drops an egg from 30 m above the ground to hit Vanessa on the head. If Vanessa stands 3.5 meters tall. How fast is the

egg moving when it strike her head? (Hint: Draw a picture and you will see why you have to consider her height and find the time first!)

This is problem of free falling objects, which can be solved using the formula:

V = sqrt(2gy)

Where v is the velocity upon impact

G is the acceleration due to gravity ( 9.81 m/s2)

Y is the height

Since Venessa is 3.5 m

Y = 30 -3.5 = 26.5 m

V = sqrt(2 (9.81 m/s2) ( 26.5 m))

<span>V = 22.8 m/s</span>

Una barra de plata de 335.2 g con una temperatura de 100 ºC se introduce un calorímetro de aluminio de 60 g de masa que contiene
sdas [7]

Respuesta:

0,0560 cal / gºC.

Explicación:

Cantidad de calor; (Q)

Q = mcΔt; Δt = t2 - t1

m = masa, c = capacidad calorífica específica; Δt = cambio de temperatura

c de agua = 1 cal / gºC

c de aluminio = 0,22 cal / gºC

QTotal = Q de agua + Q de aluminio

Q de agua = 450 * 1 * (26 - 23) = 1350 cal

Q de aluminio = 60 * 0.22 * (26 - 23) = 39.6 cal

QTotal = 1350 + 39,6 = 1389,6 cal

Calor perdido = calor ganado

QTotal = calor perdido

- 1389,6 = 335,2 * c * (26 - 100)

-1389,6 = −24804,8 * c

c = 1389,6 / 24804,8

c = 0,056021 cal / gºC.

Capacidad calorífica específica de la plata = 0,0560 cal / gºC.

According to the intuitive guess you just made, is the overall momentum of the two-cart system after the collision greater than,
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

It is equal to the overall momentum before collision, so far no external object is involved.

Explanation:

Momentum is always conserved during collision as a rule. This is equal to the product of the mass and velocity. Thank you.

Background information about reflection and refraction of light
KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

  • angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
  • Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
  • light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

  • light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
  • after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
  • angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

An elevator car weighs 5500 N. If the car accelerates upwards at a rate of 4.0 m/s2, what is the tension in the support cable li
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for this, since we are talking about weight on an elevator, is Newton's 2nd Law adjusted to fit our needs:

F_n=ma+w where the Normal Force needed to lift that elevator car is the tension. So the equation then becomes

T = ma + w where T is the tension in the cable to lift the elevator, m is the mass of the elevator (which we have to solve for), a is the acceleration of the elevator (positive since it's going up), and w is the weight of the elevator (which we have as 5500 N). Solving first for mass:

w = mg and

5500 =- m(10) so

m = 550 kg. Now we have what we need to solve for the tension:

T = 550(4.0) + 5500 and

T = 2200 + 5500 so

T = 7700 N

Is there a definite end to our atmosphere?
Irina18 [472]
There is no definite end to earths atmosphere, but technically the border between the outer space and earth gets thinner as you move up from the earths surface. The Karman line is the closest definition there is which describes the end of the earth's atmosphere, it is 100 km above earth's sea level at approximately 1.56 % of total earth's radius. This describes the boundary between the outer space and the atmosphere.
