Answer: 6.21 m/s opposite to Janet

Explanation:

Given

mass of Janet $m_j=59\ kg$

mass of Sarah $m_s=32\ kg$

The initial velocity of Janet $u_1=7\ m/s$

The final velocity of Janet after the collision is $v_1=2\ m/s$

the final velocity of Sarah after the collision is $v_2=3\ m/s$

Conserving linear momentum

$\Rightarrow m_ju_1+m_su_2=m_jv_1+m_sv_2\\\Rightarrow 59\times 7+32\times u_2=59\times 2+32\times 3\\\Rightarrow 32u_2=118+96-413\\\Rightarrow u_2=\frac{-199}{32}=-6.21\ m/s$

Negative indicates the direction of velocity is opposite than of Janet

What would happen if you use a thicker wire around the iron nail of an electromagnet? (thats the whole question)

puteri [66]

Answer:

When we have a current I, we will have a magnetic field perpendicular to this current.

Then if we have a wire in a "spring" form. then we will have a magnetic field along the center of this "spring".

Now suppose we put an iron object in the middle (where the magnetic field is) then we will magnetize the iron object.

Of course, the intensity of the magnetic field is proportional to the current, given by:

B = (μ*I)/(2*π*r)

Where:

μ is a constant, I is the current and r is the distance between to the current.

Now remember that for a resistor:

R = ρ*L/A

R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity, which depends on the material of the wire, L is the length of the wire, and A is the cross-section of the wire.

If we increase the area of the wire (if we use a thicker wire).

And the relation between resistance and current is:

I = V/R

Where V is the voltaje.

Now, if we use a thicker wire, then the cross-section area of the wire increases.

Notice in the resistance equation, that the cross-section area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area A, the resistance decreases.

And the resistance is on the denominator of the current equation, then if we decrease R, the current increases.

If the current increases, the magnetic field increases, which means that we will have a stronger electromagnet.

How far can a mother push a 20.0 kg baby carriage, using a force of 62 N, if she can only do 2920 J of work? (Round to include t

alexgriva [62]

The mathematical definition of work (W) is force (F) multiplied by distance (x). In order to determine the distance for fixed force and work the above equation needs to be rearranged to make x the subject. The work divided by the force is equal to the distance. In this case the mother can push the baby carriage by a distance equal to 2920 divided by 62, which is 47.1 metres.

A rod of length 30.0cm has linear density (mass per length) given by

<h3>What is the center of mass?</h3>

The center of mass, sometimes referred to as the balancing point in physics, is the only location where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass accumulates to zero.
Here is where a force can be applied to produce a linear acceleration without also producing an angular acceleration. When calculations in mechanics are made about the center of mass, they are frequently made simpler. It is a fictitious location where one can suppose that an object's full mass is concentrated to see its motion.
In other words, to apply Newton's equations of motion, the center of mass is the particle equivalent of the provided item.

In an evironmental system of subsystem, the mass balance equation is:__________.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass balance is an application of conservation of mass, to the analysis of physical system. This is given in an equation form as

Input = Output + Accumulation

The conservation law that is used in this analysis of the system actually depends on the context of the problem. Nevertheless, they all revolve around conservation of mass. By conservation of mass, I mean that the fact that matter cannot disappear or be created spontaneously.
