A candy-filled piñata is hung from a tree for Matthew's birthday. During an unsuccessful attempt to break the 4.4-kg piñata, Hay

den cracks it with a 0.54-kg stick moving at 4.8 m/s. The stick stops and the piñata undergoes a gentle swinging motion. Determine the swing speed of the piñata immediately after being cracked by the stick.

Answer:

The speed of the piñata immediately after being cracked by the stick is $v_{fp}=0.59\: m/s$ .

Explanation:

Using the conservation of linear momentum:

$m_{s}v_{is}=m_{p}v_{fp}$ (1)

Here:

m(s) is the mass of the stick

m(p) is the mass of the piñata

v(is) is the initial velocity of the stick

v(fp) is the final velocity of the piñata

So, we just need to solve the equation (1) to v(fp).

$v_{fp}=\frac{m_{s}v_{is}}{m_{p}}$

$v_{fp}=\frac{0.54*4.8}{4.4}$

$v_{fp}=0.59\: m/s$

I hope it helps you!

What speed would a proton need to achieve in order to circle Earth 1790 km above the magnetic equator, where the Earth's mag- ne

irinina [24]

Answer:

The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance $h= 1790 km = 1.790\times10^{6}\ m$

Magnetic field $B=4\times10^{-8}\ T$

Mass of proton $m=1.673\times10^{-21}\ Kg$

Radius of earth $R =6.38\times10^{6}\ m$

Radius of orbit $r=R+h$

$r=6.38\times10^{6}+1.790\times10^{6}$

$r=8170000\ m$

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of magnetic field

$Bvq=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\dfrac{Bqr}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{4\times10^{-8}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times8170000}{1.673\times10^{-21}}$

$v=31.25\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

navik [9.2K]

An advertisement for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) claims that the ATV can climb inclined slopes of 35°. The minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

In an inclined plane, the coefficient of static friction is the angle at which an object slide over another.

As the angle rises, the gravitational force component surpasses the static friction force, as such, the object begins to slide.

Using the Newton second law;

$\sum F_x = \sum F_y = 0$

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta -f_s= N-mgcos \theta = 0 }$

So; On the L.H.S

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =f_s}$

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =\mu_s N}$

On the R.H.S

N = mg cos θ

Equating both force component together, we have:

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =\mu_s \ mg \ cos \theta}$

$\mathbf{sin \theta =\mu_s \ \ cos \theta}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s = \dfrac{sin \theta }{ cos \theta}}$

From trigonometry rule:

$\mathbf{tan \theta= \dfrac{sin \theta }{ cos \theta}}$

∴

$\mathbf{\mu_s =\tan \theta}}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s =\tan 35^0}}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s = 0.700}}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

The size (radius) of an oxygen molecule is about 2.0 ×10−10 m. Make a rough estimate of the pressure at which the finite volume

timurjin [86]

Answer:

P = 1 x 10⁸ Pa

Explanation:

given,

radius = 2.0 ×10⁻¹⁰ m

Temperature

T = 300 K

Volume of gas molecule =

$V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi (2\times 10^{-10})^3$

V = 33.51 x 10⁻³⁰ m³

we know,

P V = 1 . k T

k = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K

P(33.51 x 10⁻³⁰) = 1 . (1.38 x 10⁻²³) x 300

P = 1.235 x 10⁸ Pa

for 1 significant figure

P = 1 x 10⁸ Pa

A point charge q is located at the center of a spherical shell of radius a that has a charge −q uniformly distributed on its sur

muminat

Answer:

a) E = 0

b) $E = \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }$

Explanation:

The electric field for all points outside the spherical shell is given as follows;

a) $\phi_E = \oint E \cdot dA = \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

From which we have;

$E \cdot A = \dfrac{{\Sigma Q}}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{+q + (-q)}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{0}{\varepsilon _{0}} = 0$

E = 0/A = 0

E = 0

b) $\phi_E = \oint E \cdot dA = \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

$E \cdot A = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0}}$

$E = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot A} = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot 4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}$

By Gauss theorem, we have;

$E\oint dS = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

Therefore, we get;

$E \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

The electrical field outside the spherical shell

$E = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) }= \dfrac{q}{4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} \cdot r^2 }= \dfrac{q}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} )\cdot r^2 }$

$k_e= \dfrac{1}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} ) }$

Therefore, we have;

$E = \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }$
