Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spore that is attached to

the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side. The spore is bent over by the drop's weight, but when the film reaches the drop, the drop's water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches a speed of 1.60 m/s in a 5.30 μm launch; its speed is then reduced to zero in 1.30 mm by the air. Using that data and assuming constant accelerations, find the acceleration in terms of g during
(a) the launch and
(b) the speed reduction.

Answer:

Part a)

a = 2.46 \times 10^4 g

Part b)

a = 100.37 g

Explanation:

Part a)

During the launch

speed will increase from rest to final speed of 1.60 m/s

the distance moved by it is given as

d = 5.30 \mu m

now we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

1.60^2 - 0 = 2(a)(5.30 \times 10^{-6})

so we have

a = \frac{1.60^2}{2(5.30 \times 10^{-6})}

a = 2.4151 \times 10^5 m/s^2

now in terms of g it is given as

a = 2.46 \times 10^4 g

Part b)

During  speed reduction

we know that final speed will be zero by air in distance 1.30 mm

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 1.60^2 = 2(a)(1.30 \times 10^{-3})/tex][tex]a = 984.6 m/s^2

Now in terms of g it is

a = 100.37 g

3) Principles of rectilinear proportion of light 9​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:Principle of rectilinear propagation of light

Explanation:Principle of rectilinear propagation of light

Rectilinear propagation of light refers to the propensity of light to travel along a straight line without any interference in its trajectory. ... It is because light travels along a straight line and leaves only the areas where the object interferes.

A bowling ball with a momentum of 18kg-m/s strikes a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the ball has a momentum of 13k
Veronika [31]

Answer:

14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

45.26^{\circ}

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial momentum of the pin = 13 kg m/s

P_i = Initial momentum of the ball = 18 kg m/s

P_2 = Momentum of the ball after hit

55^{\circ} = Angle ball makes with the horizontal after hitting the pin

\theta = Angle the pin makes with the horizotal after getting hit by the ball

Momentum in the x direction

P_i=P_1\cos55^{\circ}+P_2\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=P_i-P_1\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=18-13\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=10.54\ \text{kg m/s}

Momentum in the y direction

P_1\sin55=P_2\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=13\sin55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=10.64\ \text{kg m/s}

(P_2\cos\theta)^2+(P_2\sin\theta)^2=P_2^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\sqrt{10.54^2+10.64^2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

The pin's resultant velocity is 14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

P_2\sin\theta=10.64\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\dfrac{10.64}{14.98}\\\Rightarrow \theta=45.26^{\circ}

The pin's resultant direction is 45.26^{\circ} below the horizontal or to the right.
