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.

numerical question : what is the required heat to raise the temperature of 2 kg parrafin by 10 Celsius if 44000 joules is requir
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The heat energy required is, E = 2200 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of paraffin, m = 2 Kg

The energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 200° C = 44000 J

Then the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 10° C is given by,

Since 44000 J raises temperature by 200° C, then

                              E = 44000 J / 20

                                 = 2200 J

Hence, the energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 10° C is, E = 2200 J

The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of t
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of electrical nerve signal = 33 m /s

Distance travelled = 1.3 m

time taken = distance / speed

= 1.3 / 33  

= .039 s

= 39 ms ( millisecond )  .

Multiple-Concept Example 6 reveiws the principles that play a role in this problem. A nuclear power reactor generates 2.3 x 109
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

change in mass = 2.41*10^{8}kg

Explanation:

The change in the mass can be computed by using the relation

E=\Delta mc^2\\\Delta m=\frac{E}{c^2}(1)

That is, the energy liberated comes from the mass of the nuclear fuel. The energy generated in one year is

E=Pt=2.3*10^{9}\frac{J}{s}*1 year*\frac{365.25 day}{1 year}*\frac{24h}{1 day}*\frac{3600s}{1h}=7.25*10^{16}J

Hence, by replacing in the equation (1) you have  (c=3*10^{8}m/s)

\Delta m=\frac{7.25*10^{16}J}{3*10^{8}\frac{m}{s}}=2.41*10^{8}kg

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

A -3.00 nc point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.50 nc point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. find the electric
Liula [17]

The electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by

E(r)=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge


To find the electric field at x=0.200 m, we need to find the electric field produced by each charge at that point, and then find their resultant.


1) The first charge is q=-3.00 nC=-3.00 \cdot 10^{-9} C, and it is located at x=0, so its distance from the point x=0.200 m is

r=0.200 m-0=0.2 m

Therefore, the electric field is

E_1=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(3.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.2 m)^2}=675 N/C

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward negative x direction.


2) The second charge is q=-5.50 nC=-5.5 \cdot 10^{-9}C and it is located at x=0.800 m, so its distance from the point is

r=0.800 m-0.200 m=0.6 m

Therefore, the electric field is

E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(5.5 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.6 m)^2}=137.5 N

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward positive x-direction.


3) The total electric field at x=0.200 m will be given by the difference between the two fields (because they are in opposite directions). Taking the x-positive direction as positive direction, we have

E=E_2 -E_1 =137.5 N/C/C-675 N/C=-537.5 N/C

and the sign tells us that the field is directed toward negative x-direction.
