A 0.1 kg arrow with an initial velocity of 30 m/s hits a 4.0 kg melon initially at rest on a friction-less surface. The arrow em

erges out the other side of the melon with a speed of 20 m/s. What is the speed of the melon? Why would we normally not expect to see the melon move with the is speed after being hit by the arrow?​

Answer:

Speed of the melon = 0.25 m/s

we would normally don't see the melon moving due to friction with the resting surface.

Explanation:

We use conservation of momentum:

Pi = Pf

with Pi = 0.1 kg * 30 m/s = 3 kg m/s

and Pf = 0.1 kg * 20 m/s + 4.0 kg * V = 2 kg m/s + 4 * V

Then using the equality above, we solve for V (velocity of the melon)

3 kg m/s = 2 kg m/s + 4 V

1 kg m/s = 4 kg * V

Then V = 1 / 4  M/s = 0.25 m/s

So we would normally don't see the melon moving due to friction with the resting surface.

If 30.45 grams of water is to be heated up 3.3 degrees to make baby
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A. 420 J

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 30.45 g

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g °C.

Temperature = 3.3°C

To find the quantity of heat;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 30.45 * 4.18 * 3.3

Q = 420.03 ≈ 420 Joules

A steel bridge is 1000 m long at -20°C in winter. What is the change in length when the temperature rises to 40°C in summer? The
xenn [34]

Answer:

ΔL = 0.66 m

Explanation:

The change in length on an object due to rise in temperature is given by the following equation of linear thermal expansion:

ΔL = αLΔT

where,

ΔL = Change in Length of the bridge = ?

α = Coefficient of linear thermal expansion = 11 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

L = Original Length of the Bridge = 1000 m

ΔT = Change in Temperature =  Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 40°C - (-20°C) = 60°C

Therefore,

ΔL = (11 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹)(1000 m)(60°C)

<u>ΔL = 0.66 m</u>

A 200 kg weather rocket is loaded with 100 kg of fuel and fired straight up. It accelerates upward at 35 m/s2 for 35 s , then ru
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

T = 295.57 s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the rocket = 200 Kg

mass of the fuel = 100 Kg

acceleration = 35 m/s²

time, t = 35 s

time taken by the rocket to hit the ground, = ?

Final speed of the rocket when fuel is empty

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 0 + 35 x 35

v = 1225 m/s

height of the rocket where fuel is empty

v² = u² + 2 a s

1225² = 0 + 2 x 35 x h₁

h₁ = 21437.5 m

After 35 s the rocket will be moving upward till the final velocity becomes zero.

Now, using equation of motion to find the height after 35 s

v² = u² + 2 g h₂

0² = 1225² + 2 x (-9.8) h₂

h₂ = 76562.5 m

total height = h₁ + h₂

          = 76562.5 m + 21437.5 m = 98000 m

now, time taken by before the rocket hit the ground

using equation of motion

s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

-13500 = 1225 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times t^2

negative sign is used because the distance travel by the rocket is downward.

4.9 t² - 1225 t - 13500 = 0

t = \dfrac{-(-1225)\pm \sqrt{1225^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-13500)}}{2\times 4.9}

t = 260.57 s

neglecting the negative sign

total time the rocket was in air

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 35 + 260.57

T = 295.57 s

Time for which rocket was in air is equal to 295.57 s.
