Answer:

Her velocity afterwards is 0.04 m/s to the west.

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

Where m is the mass, u is the inicial velocity and v is the final velocity.

The inicial momentum is zero, because the ice skater and the snowball are at rest (u1 = 0 and u2 = 0)

The mass of the snowball is m1 = 0.135 kg and the final velocity is v1 = 15.8 m/s, so the momentum of the snowball is:

m1 * v1 = 0.135 * 15.8 = 2.133 kg*m/s

So from the conservation of momentum, we have that:

0 = 2.133 + m2v2

m2v2 = -2.133

The mass of the ice skater is m2 = 53.4 kg, then we have that:

53.4 * v2 = -2.133

v2 = -2.133 / 53.4 = -0.0399 m/s

Her velocity afterwards is 0.04 m/s to the west.

Answer: a) 1 b) 61 W c) 61 W

Explanation:

a) The Power Factor (also known as cos φ), is defined by the difference in phase between current and voltage, in a RLC series circuit, and is expressed as follows:

cos φ = R / Z = R / $\sqrt{(R)^{2} + (Xl -Xc)^{2} }$

In resonance, XL =XC, so the circuit behaves like it were purely resistive, so Z=R.

Replacing in the expression for power factor, we have:

cos φ = R/Z = R/R = 1

This means that in resonance, current and voltage are in phase each other.

b) The average power delivered by the source, in resonance, is simply the power dissipated at the resistance R, as follows:

Pavg = V² rms / R = V₀² / √2 / R = 61 W

c) If the circuit remains in resonance, the average power , which does not depends on frequency provided this condition remains, keeps the same, i.e. , 61 W.

A piece of blue paper appears blue because the paper absorbs all colors of light except blue. (b)

So any light that bounces off of the paper and enters your eye must be blue light !

A 1-oz bullet is traveling with a velocity of 1400 ft/s when it impacts and becomes embedded in a 5-lb wooden block. The block c

schepotkina [342]

After impact velocity = 14.968 ft/s

Weight and mass of Bullet and wooden block:

Bullet: w = 1oz = 1/16 lb m = 0.001941 lb

wooden block : W = 5lb M = 0.15528 lb

velocity of block and bullet immediately after impact:

Σmv1 + ΣImp = mv2

Resolving vertical component

( m× v₀cos30⁰) + 0 = ( m+M) v'

v' = ( m× v₀cos30⁰)/ (m+M)

v' = 14.968 ft/s

Horizontal and vertical component of the impulse exerted by block on the bullet:

Here we will apply the principle of impulse and momentum.

Horizontal component:

-mv₀ cos30⁰ + RxΔt =0

RxΔt = mv₀sin30⁰

= 0.001941 × 1400sin30⁰

RxΔt = 1.3587 lb.s

Vertical component:

-mv₀cos30⁰ + RyΔt = -mv'

RyΔt = m( v₀cos30⁰-v')

RyΔt = 0.001941(1400cos30⁰ - 14.968)

= 2.32 lb.s

The energy of a given wave in the electromagnetic spectrum is 2.64 × 10-21 joules, and the value of Planck’s constant is 6.6 × 1

bixtya [17]

We are given
E = 2.64 × 10-21 J
h = 6.6 × 10-34 J s

The options given below are frequencies, therefore, the question must be asking about the frequency fo the given wave

The equation is
E = h f
Simply substitute and solve for f which is the frequency
f = 2.64 × 10-21 J / 6.6 × 10-34 J s
f = 4.00 × 1012 hertz
