Answer:

M = 49.4kgm/s (towards the left)

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object

Momentum = mass * velocity

Momentum of Object 1 with mass 1.66 kg moving to the right at 11.2 m/s, is expressed as:

M1 = 1.66 * 11.2

M1 = 18.592kgm/s

Momentum of Object 2 with mass 6.59 kg moving to the left at 10.4 m/s is expressed as:

M2 = 6.59 * -10.4

M2 = -68.536kgm/s (negative since it is moving towards the left)

The total momentum will be the sum of momentum along the x-component as shown:

M = M1+M2

M = 18.592kgm/s--68.536kgm/s

M = -49.944kgm/s

M = 49.4kgm/s (towards the left)

A test tube of length L and cross-sectional area A is submerged in water with the open end down so that the edge of the tube is
Margaret [11]

Answer:

if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

Explanation:

The air in the tube can be considered an ideal gas,

           P V = nR T

In that case we have the tube in the air where the pressure is P1 = P_atm, then we introduce the tube to the water to a depth H

For pressure the open end of the tube is

         P₂ = P_atm + ρ g H

Let's write the gas equation for the colon

            P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

            P_atm V₁ = (P_atm + ρ g H) V₂

             V₂ = V₁    P_atm / (P_atm + ρ g h)

If the air obeys Boyle's law e; volume within the had must decrease due to the increase in pressure, if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

The main assumption is that the temperature during the experiment does not change

Many planets in our solar system (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have rings. If these rings are made of chunks of debris, why do they
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Generally, rings form from moons, asteroids, or comets that have disintegrated due to a collision or because they got too close to their planet (Roche Limit). ... Most of the debris, however, will not have enough energy to overcome the planet's gravity and will remain in orbit around the planet.

In a certain region of space, the electric potential is V(x,y,z)=Axy-Bx^2+Cy , where A,B , and C are positive constants.a) Calcu
laiz [17]

Answer:

a)  Eₓ = - A y + 2B x , b)  Ey = -Ax –C , c) Ez = 0 , d) The correct answer is 3

Explanation:

The electric field and the electric power are related

                    E = - dV / ds

a) Let's find the electric field on the x axis

                  Eₓ = - dV / dx

                  dV / dx = A y - B 2x

                  Eₓ = - A y + 2B x

b) calculate the electric field on the y-axis

                Ey = - dV / dy

                dV / dy = A x + C

                Ey = -Ax –C

c) the electric field on the z axis

              dv / dz = 0

              Ez = 0

.d) at which point the electric field is zero

Since the electric field is a vector quantity all components must be zero

X axis

              0 = = - A y + 2B x

              y = 2B / A x

Axis y

             0 = -Ax –C

              .x = -C / A

We substitute this value in the previous equation

             .y = 2B / A (-C / A)

             .y = 2 B C / A2

The correct answer is 3

As a young boy swings a yo-yo parallel to the ground and above his head, the yo-yo has a centripetal acceleration of 250 m/s2 .
Ahat [919]

Centripetal acceleration ac is the acceleration experienced while in uniform circular motion. It always points toward the center of rotation. It is perpendicular to the linear velocity (tangential speed) v and has the magnitude:

a_c = \dfrac{v^2}{R}

Solving for v:

v = \sqrt{a_c R} =  \sqrt{(250\;m/s^2)(0.50\;m)} = 5\sqrt{5}\;m/s \approx 11.18\;m/s

A man does 1500 J of work to pull a box of 150 N. what is the displacement of the box?
Assoli18 [71]
  • Work done=1500J
  • Force=150N
  • Displacement =?

We know

\boxed{\sf Work\:Done=Force\times Displacement}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1500=150\times Displacement

\\ \sf\longmapsto Displacement=\dfrac{1500}{150}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Displacement=10m
