A ball thrown by Ginger is moving upward through the air. Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. Diagram B shows a box wit

vichka [17]

As the ball is moving in air as well as we have to neglect the friction force on it

So we can say that ball is having only one force on it that is gravitational force

So the force on the ball must have to be represented by gravitational force and that must be vertically downwards

So the correct FBD will contain only one force and that force must be vertically downwards

So here correct answer must be

<em>Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. </em>

A mercury thermometer is used to measure the temperature of boiling water.<br>Why?

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

It has very high density, so a small bulb of a thermometer can contain much mercury. Mercury remains liquid state over a quite wide range of temperature because it freezes at 39°C and boils at 357°C.

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him

juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal direction

$m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}$

$v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Ten identical steel wires have equal lengths L and equal "spring constants" k. The Young's modulus of each wire is Y. The wires

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.

Its unit is N/m².

The formula for the Young's modulus is given by

$Y=\frac{F \times L}{A\times \delta L}$

where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.

It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.

The gauge pressure in the tires of your car is 210 kPa (30.5 psi) when the temperature is 25°C (77 °F). Several days later it is

DaniilM [7]

Under the assumption that the tires do not change in volume, apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 210kPa + 101.325kPa

P = 311.325kPa (add 101.325 to change gauge pressure to absolute pressure)

T = 25°C = 298.15K

Final P and T values:

P = ?, T = 0°C = 273.15K

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final P:

311.325/298.15 = P/273.15

P = 285.220kPa

Subtract 101.325kPa to find the final gauge pressure:

285.220kPa - 101.325kPa = 183.895271kPa

The final gauge pressure is 184kPa or 26.7psi.
