Answer:

Well, temperature is simply an average measure of the kinetic energy for particles of matter. Another way of putting it would be that temperature simply describes the average vibration of particles. Because the motion of all particles is random, they don’t all move at the same speed and in the same direction.

A T-shirt cannon can shoot a 0.085 kg T-shirt at nearly 30 m/s. The T-shirt cannon has a mass of 33 kg. If the initial net momen

Answer:

Approximately $0.077\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ (assuming that external forces on the cannon are negligible.)

Explanation:

If an object of mass $m$ is moving at a velocity of $v$ , the momentum $p$ of that object would be $p = m\, v$ .

Momentum of the t-shirt:

$\begin{aligned} p(\text{t-shirt}) &= m(\text{t-shirt}) \, v(\text{t-shirt}) \\ &= 0.085\; {\rm kg} \times 30\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} \\ &= 2.55 \; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} \end{aligned}$ .

If there is no external force (gravity, friction, etc.) on this cannon, the total momentum of this system should be conserved. In other words, if $p(\text{cannon})$ denote the momentum of this cannon:

$p(\text{t-shirt}) + p(\text{cannon}) = 0$ .

$p(\text{cannon}) = -p(\text{t-shirt}) = -2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Rewrite $p = m\, v$ to obtain $v = (p / m)$ . Since the mass of this cannon is $m(\text{cannon}) = 33\; {\rm kg}$ , the velocity of this cannon would be:

$\begin{aligned} v(\text{cannon}) &= \frac{p(\text{cannon})}{m(\text{cannon})} \\ &= \frac{-2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{33\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.077\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Which of the following helps to explain how hydraulic lifts work?

Gnesinka [82]

Answer : C. Pascal's principle.

Explaination : Pascal's principle (well-known as Pascal's law) states that if a closed container contains a fluid at rest, then a small change in pressure at one side of the fluid is transmitted to each and every part of the fluid and also to the walls of the container without any loss. In a hydraulic lift, we need the same mechanism to work and so we take the help of Pascal's principle.

Hence, the correct option is C. Pascal's principle.

Consider the two vectors A = 3 î − ĵ and B = − î − 2 ĵ.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(a) A+B = 2i-3j

(B) A-B = 4i + j

Explanation:

We have given two vectors A = 3i-j and B = -1-2j

We have to find the two vectors that is A+B and A-B

(A) In first art we have calculate A+B for this we have to add simply vector A and v ector B

So A+B = 3i-j-i-2j = 2i-3j

(B) In this part we have to find A-B for this we have to simply subtract B from A so A-B = 3i-j-(-i-2j) =3i-j+i+2j =4i+j
