Part-1: Mean Kid pushes Nice Kid off a dock into the water. Mean does this by pushing Nice horizontally. But, karma has finally

caught up with Mean and at the same instant that Mean pushes Nice horizontally, the dock also collapses and Mean immediately begins to fall towards the water as well. (Karma isn't finished with Mean though, because only Nice knows how to swim.) Choose the correct statement. Select one:_______
a. Nice hits the water at the same time as Mean
b. Mean and Nice have the same speed throughout their trajectories
c. Nice hits the water first
d. Mean hits the water first
e. Mean has a greater acceleration mid-flight, than Nice in mid-flight
Part-2: Mean Kid pushes Nice Kid off a dock into the water. Mean does this by pushing Nice horizontally. But, karma has finally caught up with Mean and at the same instant that Mean pushes Nice horizontally, the dock also collapses and Mean immediately begins to fall towards the water as well. After Nice swims to shore, Karma arranges for a jelly fish to give Mean a bit of a sting. Choose the correct statement Select one:________
a. Mean and Nice hit the water with the same speed
b. Nice hits the water faster than Mean
c. Mean hits the water with a larger vertical component of speed than Nice's vertical component of speed
d. Nice hits the water slower than Mean

Answer:

Part-1: a)

Part-2: b)

Explanation:

Part-1

  • Since Nice is pushed horizontally, in the vertical direction, he has no initial component of velocity, due to both movements are independent each other.
  • Since the dock collapses, this means that in the vertical direction, the movement of Mean is exactly the same as Nice's.
  • The expression for the vertical displacement is given by the following equation:
  • \Delta y = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2}  (1)
  • So, due to the time of flight is determined by the height exclusively, and they start from the same height, we can conclude that they will hit the water at the same time.
  • So, the right answer is the a) for Part-1.

Part-2

  • The speed of both kids is given by the vector sum of  the vertical and horizontal components of velocity when they hit the water.
  • Mean falls vertically, with no component of velocity in the horizontal direction.
  • In the vertical direction, Nice falls with exactly the same speed, as they hit water at the same time.
  • However, Nice has a horizontal component of the velocity, that keeps constant during all his flight, as no external forces act in the horizontal direction.
  • So, the magnitude of Nice's speed must be larger than Mead's, due to the vertical components are the same, and the extra horizontal component of Nice's adds to the vertical one.
  • So, the right answer is b.) for Part-2.

Background information about reflection and refraction of light
KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

  • angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
  • Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
  • light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

  • light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
  • after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
  • angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

What does it mean for water to have a high heat capacity
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Its heat capacity is higher than that of any other liquid or solid, its specific heat being 1 cal / g, this means that to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 ° C it is necessary to provide an amount of heat equal to a calorie . Therefore, the heat capacity of 1 g of water is equal to 1 cal / K.

Explanation:

The water has a very high heat capacity, a large amount of heat is necessary to raise its temperature 1.0 ° K. For biological systems this is very important because the cellular temperature is modified very little in response to metabolism. In the same way, aquatic organisms, if water did not possess that quality, would be very affected or would not exist.

This means that a body of water can absorb or release large amounts of heat, with little temperature change, which has a great influence on the weather (large bodies of water in the oceans take longer to heat and cool than the ground land). Its latent heats of vaporization and fusion (540 and 80 cal / g, respectively) are also exceptionally high.

A 500 kg sack of coal falls vertically onto a 2000 kg railroad flatcar which was initially moving horizontally at 3 m/s. no exte
Zinaida [17]

Since there are no external forces, including friction, act on the flatcar. after the sack rests on the flatcar, we would assume that momentum is conserved. This means that

total momentum of car before collision = total momentum of car after collision.

Recall,

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of car before collision = 2000

velocity of car before collision = 3

Thus,

total momentum of car before collision = 2000 x 3 = 6000

Also,

mass of sack = 500

mass of car and sack after collision = 500 + 2000 = 2500

velocity after collision = v

momentum after collision = 2500 x v = 2500v

Since momentum is conserved, then

6000 = 2500v

v = 6000/2500

v = 2.4

the speed of the flatcar is 2.4 m/s

A meter stick is free to rotate about an axis through one of its end. Find the force F needed to balance this meter stick if the
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Component of force perpendicular to stick

= F Sin 60°

=√3 / 2 F.

Taking torque about the other end

= √3 / 2 F x 1 Nm

Weight of stick = 60 gm

= 60 x 10⁻³ kg

= 60 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 N

= .588 N

This weight will act from the middle point of stick so torque about the

other end

= .588 x 1 Nm

Balancing these two torques we have

.588 = √3 /2 F

F=\frac{2\times0.588}{\sqrt{3} }

F = 0.679 N
