Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite

ends of the same rope and pull the other toward him. The magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration. What is the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass?

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Suppose an oven's radiation wavelength is 0.125 m. a container with 350.00 g of water was placed in the oven, and the temperatur
ivann1987 [24]
The heat (energy) needed to raise the temperature of the water is given by
Q=m C_S (T_f - T_i)=(350.0 g)(4.18 J/gC)(80C-20C)=87780 J

The wavelength of the radiation of the oven is \lambda=0.125 m, so the energy of a single photon of this radiation is
E=h \frac{c}{\lambda}=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}J) \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{0.125 m}=1.6 \cdot 10^{-24} J

So, the number of photons required to heat the water is the total energy absorbed by the water divided by the energy of a single photon:
N= \frac{Q}{E}= \frac{87780 J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-24}J}=  5.5 \cdot 10^{28} photons

A body of mass 20kg initially at rest is subjected to a force of 40m for 15sec. Calculate the change in k.e
Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

mass(m)=20kg

velocity(v)=d/t=2.67

k.e=?

now,

k.e=1/2mv^2

=1/2*20*(2.67)^2

=71J
