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.
