During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of

39.0 kg and its horizontal component of velocity is 6.50 m/s just before the 65.0 kg performer catches it. If the performer is initially motionless on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his speed immediately after catching the cannon ball

Answer:

2.4375\ \text{m/s}

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of cannon ball = 39 kg

m_2 = Mass of performer = 65 kg

u_1 = Initial horizontal component of cannon ball's velocity = 6.5 m/s

u_2 = Initial horizontal component of performer's velocity = 0

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the momentum of the system is conserved we have

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{39\times 6.5+0}{39+65}\\\Rightarrow v=2.4375\ \text{m/s}

The speed of the performer immediately after catching the cannon ball is 2.4375\ \text{m/s}.

Infrared and ultraviolet waves have different frequencies.
algol13

Answer:

For infrared and ultraviolet waves have different frequencies. Both types of wave can have harmful effects on human beings. Describe the harmful effects of infrared and ultraviolet waves, relating them to the frequencies of the waves. Medical studies indicate that prolonged IR exposure can lead to lens, cornea and retina damage, including cataracts, corneal ulcers and retinal burns, respectively. To help protect against long-term IR exposure, workers can wear products with IR filters or reflective coatings.When you look at the EM spectrum, UV waves are quite a bit smaller in wavelength than infrared, and x-rays/gamma rays are even smaller. Therefore, UV waves are probably causing more harm than infrared waves, and x-rays/gamma rays are probably doing even more damage.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,700 years. How long will it take for 6.25% of the Carbon-14 to be remaining?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

22,800 years

Explanation:

Half life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is the half life.

0.0625 = (½)^(t / 5700)

log 0.0625 = (t / 5700) log 0.5

4 = t / 5700

t = 22,800

It takes 22,800 years.

Radda [10]

Answer:

160J

Explanation:

Given force = 8N and total distance = 20 meters

Workdone = force x distance

= 8 x 20

= 160J

Therefore, workdone by Riley in pulling the hoover is 160J
