Answer:

Q1) Explain why increasing the mass of a car affects how the car rolls down a ramp

Ans1) Weight affects speed down the ramp but it's the mass that affects speed after a car leaves the ramp. Heavier cars have more momentum, so they travel further, given the same amount of friction

F = ma (force = mass x acceleration)

So the car’s mass affects the amount of force, changing how it would roll down a ramp, I think.

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 4.5-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu

marishachu [46]

Answer:

1.93 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass = 4.5g = 0.0045kg

Spring constant = 8.0 N/m

Length of barrel = 13 cm = 0.013m

Frictional force = 0.035N

Compression = 5.8 cm = 0.058m

First, we find the P. E. stored in the spring:

P. E. = ½*k*x²

P. E. = ½ * 8 * 0.058² = 0.013J

Then, we find the work done by the frictional force while the sphere is leaving the barrel of the gun:

Work = Force * distance

The distance here is the length of the barrel.

Work = 0.035 * 0.13 = 0.0046 J

The kinetic energy of the sphere can now be found:

K. E. = P. E. - Work done

K. E. = 0.013 - 0.0046 = 0.0084J

We can now find the speed using the formula for K. E.:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

0.0084 = ½ * 0.0045 * v²

v² = 0.0084/0.00255 = 3.733

=> v = 1.93 m/s

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

$\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}$

Where, $\beta=\dfrac{c}{v}$

$\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}$

$\lambda_{o}=115\ nm$

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

A particle moves at a constant speed of 34 m/s in a circular path of radius 6.3 m. From this information, what can be calculated

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is the motion inwards towards the center of a circular path.

<em><u>Centripetal acceleration is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path. </u></em>

That is;

ac = v²/r

Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the radius, m
