Answer:
(a) 0.71 mm
(b) 0.158 cubic cm
Explanation:
The width of one wire is the diameter of the wire.
(a) Let the diameter of each wire is d.
So, 10 d = 14.2 mm
d = 1.42 mm
radius of each wire, r = d/2 = 1.42/2 = 0.71 mm
(b) Length, L = 10 cm
The volume of the single wire is given by
Answer:
Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement
Explanation:
Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.
Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.
Answer:
2.667m/s to the north and 3.333 m/s to the west
Explanation:
According to law of momentum conservation, the total momentum should be conserved before and after the explosion.
Before the explosion, the momentum was
0.5*2 = 1 kg m/s to the west
Therefore the total momentum after the explosion should be the same horizontally and vertically.
Vertically speaking, it was 0 before the explosion. After the explosion:
0.2*4 + 0.3v = 0
0.3v = -0.8
v = -0.8/0.3 = -2.667 m/s
So the vertical component of the 0.3kg piece is 2.667m/s to the north
Horizontally speaking, since the 0.2kg-piece doesn't move west or east post-explosion:
0.2*0 + 0.3V = 1
0.3V = 1
V = 1/0.3 = 3.333 m/s
So the horizontal component of the 0.3kg piece is 3.333 m/s to the west
