Answer:

The horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

Explanation:

Given;

height above the ground, h = 16.4 m

speed of the eagle, v = 9.3 m/s

The time it will take the pumpkin to fall at the given height is calculated as;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*16.4}{9.8} }\\\\t = 1.83 \ s

The horizontal distance traveled at this time is given by;

x = vt

x = (9.3)(1.83)

x = 17.02 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

Andru [333]

Answer:

a)  p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s,  b) p_f = 1.2 kg m / s,  c)   θ = 12.36, d)  v_{2f} = 1.278 m/s

Explanation:

For this exercise we define a system formed by the two balls, which are isolated and the forces during the collision are internal, therefore the moment is conserved

 

a) the initial impulse is

         p₀ = m v₁₀ + 0

         p₀ = 0.6 2

         p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s

b) as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved so

        p_f = 1.2 kg m / s

we define a reference system where the x-axis coincides with the initial movement of the cue ball

 

we write the final moment for each axis

X axis

         p₀ₓ = 1.2 kg m / s

         p_{fx} = m v1f cos 20 + m v2f cos θ

         p₀ = p_f

        1.2 = 0.6 (-0.8) cos 20+ 0.6 v_{2f} cos θ

         1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

Y axis  

        p_{oy} = 0

        p_{fy} = m v_{1f} sin 20 + m v_{2f} cos θ

        0 = 0.6 (-0.8) sin 20 + 0.6 v_{2f} sin θ

        0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

we write our system of equations

         0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

         1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

divide to solve

         0.219 = tan θ

          θ = tan⁻¹ 0.21919

          θ = 12.36

let's look for speed

            0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

             v_{2f} = 0.2736 / sin 12.36

            v_{2f} = 1.278 m / s

a 1.2 m wire carries a current of 10.0 A in a uniform magnetic field of 0.050T. Find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the
rodikova [14]
To calculate we use the formula for a magnetic force in a current-carrying wire expressed as the product of the current, magnetic field and the length of the wire.
 F = I x L x B

where F is the force on the wire, I is the current flowing on the wire, L is the length of the wire and B is the magnetic field.

F = 10.0 A x 1.2 m x 0.050 T
F = 0.60 N

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rotate it slowly to establish whether the spot moves. If it is broken, it will stay as it is. By rotating it the electrons' path to the centre of the screen will be tilted to another position by any external disturbing field.
