Explanation:

Starting position at x  = 16m

Ending position at x  = -25m

Time of flight  = 4s

Unknown:

Distance flown  = ?

Displacement  = ?

Speed  = ?

Velocity  = ?

Solution:

To find the distance flown, we should understand that the body is moving on the x - plane;  

  So distance  = 16 + 25  = 41m

Displacement is 41m to the left or -x axis

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken;

      Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}   = \frac{41}{4}   = 10.25m/s

Velocity is 10.25m/s along -x axis

You perform the Hooke's Law experiment and create a plot of Displacement vs. Force. You add a linear fit and find the following
balandron [24]

Answer: 0.192 N/m

Explanation:

Well, generally when a Hooke's Law experiment is performed the plot is in fact Force vs Displacement, being the Force (in units of Newtons) in the Y-axis and the Displacement (in units of meters) in the X-axis.

In addition, if we add a linear fit the resultant equation will be the Line equation of the form:

Y=mX+b

Where m=\frac{Y_{2}-Y_{1}}{X_{2}-X_{1}} is the slope and b is the point where the line intersects the Y-axis.

So, if the equation is:

Y=0.192X+0.011

The slope of this line is 0.192 N/m which is also the spring constant k.

The kitchen in your house measures 10 ft by 10 ft. You need to have 50 footcandles of illumination in the room. How many 60 watt
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

<u>6 bulbs</u> are needed to illuminate the room.

Explanation:

Given:

Measurement of kitchen (A) = 10 ft by 10 ft = 100 sq. ft

Number of footcandles (n) = 50

Lumens emitted by 1 bulb = 834

Number of bulbs (N) = ?

We are also given,

1 foot candle = 1 lumen/sq. ft

So, 50 foot candles = 50 lumens/sq. ft

Now, for an area of 1 sq. ft 50 lumens are emitted.

So, for an area of 100 sq. ft, lumens emitted = 50 × 100 = 5000 lumens

Now, one bulb emits = 834 lumes

Therefore, number of bulbs required for emitting 5000 lumens is given as:

N=\frac{Number\ of\ lumens}{Number\ of\ lumens\ by\ 1\ bulb}\\\\N=\frac{5000}{834}=5.995\approx6

So, 6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.

A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is  v_B = 0.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

     The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

     The initial speed  of the billiard ball A = v_1 =1 m/s

    The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

    The initial speed  of the billiard ball  B = 0

Let the final speed  of the billiard ball A  = v_A

Let The finial speed  of the billiard ball  B = v_B

      According to the law of conservation of Energy

                 \frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2

              Substituting values  

                \frac{1}{2} m (1)^2  = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2

Multiplying through by \frac{1}{2}m

                1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)

    According to the law of conservation of Momentum

            mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B

    Substituting values

            m(1)  = mv_A + 2mv_B

Multiplying through by m

           1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)

making v_A subject of the equation 2

            v_A = 1 - 2v_B

Substituting this into equation 1

         (1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1

         1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1

          6v_B^2  -4v_B +1 =1

          6v_B^2 -4v_B =0

Multiplying through by \frac{1}{v_B}

          6v_B -4 = 0

            v_B = \frac{4}{6}

            v_B = 0.67 m/s
