During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of

72.0 kg and its horizontal component of velocity is 6.50 m/s just before the 65.0 kg performer catches it. If the performer is initially motionless on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his speed immediately after catching the cannon ball

Answer:

3.416 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of cannonball $m_A$ = 72.0 kg

mass of performer $m_B$ = 65.0 kg

The horizontal component of the ball initially $\mu_{xA}$ = 6.50 m/s

the final velocity of the combined system v = ????

By applying the linear momentum of conservation:

$m_A \mu_{xA}+m_B \mu_{xB} = (m_A+m_B) v$

$72.0 \ kg \times 6.50 \ m/s+65.0 \ kg \times 0 = (72.0 \ kg+65.0 \ kg) v$

$468 kg m/s + 0 = (137 kg)v$

$v = \dfrac{468\ kg m/s }{137 \ kg}$

v = 3.416 m/s

A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 1.4 ft/s,

Art [367]

Answer:

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =-0.233\ rad/s$

Explanation:

given,

length of ladder = 10 ft

let x be the distance of the bottom and y be the distance of the top of ladder.

x² + y² = 100

differentiating with respect to time we get

$2 x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 0$ ..............(1)

when x = 8 and y = 6 and when \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 1.4ft/s

from equation (1)

now,

$16\times 1.4 + 12\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 0$

$\dfrac{dy}{dt} = -\dfrac{5.6}{3}$

let the angle between the ladders be θ

$tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}$

y = xtan θ

$\dfrac{dy}{dt} =\dfrac{dy}{dt} tan\theta + x sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$

$-\dfrac{5.6}{3} =1.4\times \dfrac{6}{8} + 8 (1+\dfrac{9}{16})\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\dfrac{25}{2} \dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =\dfrac{-17.5}{6}$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =-0.233\ rad/s$

What amount of energy is needed for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Explanation:

We need to find the energy for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4.

The energy in transition from 1 state to another is given by :

$E=\dfrac{-2.18\times 10^{-18}}{n^2}\ J$

The difference in energy for n = 1 to n = 4 is:

$E=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times (\dfrac{1}{4^2}-1)\\\\E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J$

So, the required energy is equal to $2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J$ .

If you have 10.0 g of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 42 days?

Nat2105 [25]

The formula for the mass that remains:
$m=m_0 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{T}$
m₀ - the initial mass, t - time, T - the half-life

$m_0=10 \ g \\
T=14 \ d \\
t=42 \ d \\ \\
m=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{42}{14}=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^3=10 \times \frac{1}{8}=10 \times 0.125=1.25$

The answer is c. 1.25 g.
