Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The motion is one dimensional , so motion is along x - axis , starting from origin ( 0 , 0 )

b ) Initial velocity is 18.5 m /s when boat is situated at origin . When he displaces by 250 m along x axis and his position is ( 250 , 0 ) along x axis , his velocity becomes 36 m /s . Both his velocity and acceleration is along x - axis.

c ) Initial velocity vi = 18.5 m /s

final velocity vf = 36 m/s

Displacement x  = 250 m

Acceleration a = ?

Most appropriate formula is given below .

vf² = vi² + 2 a x

2ax = vf² - vi²

x =  ( vf² - vi² ) / 2 a

d )

Putting the given values

36² - 18.5² / 2 x 250

= 1296 - 342.25 / 500

= 1.9 m /s².

f ) Time interval t = ?

Required formula

vf = vi + at

t = (vf - vi ) / a

Putting the values

t = (30 - 18.5) / 1.9

= 6.05 second .

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}

here given that

F_1 = 130.0 N

F_2 = 4500.0 N

now we will plug in all data in the above equation

F_{net} = \sqrt{4500^2 + 130^}

F_{net} = 4501.9 N

so it will have net force 4501.9 N which will be reported by sensor

One of the most important properties of materials in many applications is strength. Two of the qualitative measures of the stren
katrin2010 [14]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.

In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.

By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

\sigma = \frac{F}{A}

Where,

\sigma =Tensile strength

F = Tensile Force

A = Cross-sectional Area

In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as

\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}

where,

\sigma_y =Shear strength

F_y = Shear Force

A_0 =Parallel Area

PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then

311*10^6 = \frac{F}{(15*10^{-6})(30*10^{-2})}

Resolving for F,

F= 1399.5N

PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then

\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}

210*10^6 = \frac{F_y}{15*10^{-6}30*10^{-2}}

F_y = 945N

In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”
dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

1)

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

2)

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1, n_2 are the index of refraction of the two mediums

\theta_1, \theta_2 are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)

Here we want the direction of propagation of the light ray not to change: this means that it must be

sin \theta_1 = sin \theta_2 (1)

However, here we have two mediums "a" and "b" with different index of refraction, so

n_1\neq n_2

Therefore the only angle that can satisfy eq.(1) is

\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 0

So, the light must hit the surface perpendicular to the interface between the two mediums.

What must you know to find the amount of work done on an object
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work. A newton-meter is the same thing as a joule, so the units for work are the same as those for energy – joules.

A very light ping-pong ball moving east at a speed of 4 m/s collides with a very heavy stationary bowling ball. The Ping-Pong ba
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

They experience the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

We have a ping-pong ball colliding with a stationary bowling ball. According to the law of conservation of momentum, we have that the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved:

where is the initial momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the initial momentum of the bowling ball (which is zero, since the ball is stationary)

is the final momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the final momentum of the bowling ball

We can re-arrange the equation as follows or

which means (1) so the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ping-pong ball is equal to the magnitude of the change in momentum of the bowling ball.

However, we also know that the magnitude of the impulse on an object is equal to the change of momentum of the object:

(2) therefore, (1)+(2) tells us that the ping-pong ball and the bowling ball experiences the same magnitude impulse:
