Betty (mass 40 kg), standing on slippery ice, catches her leaping dog (mass 15 kg) moving horizontally at 3.0 m/s. Show that the
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

v = 2.18m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of Betty and her dog you take into account the law of momentum conservation. The total momentum before Betty catches her dog must be equal to the total momentum after.

Then you have:

Mv_{1o}+mv_{2o}=(M+m)v        (1)

M: mass Betty = 40kg

m: mass of the dog = 15kg

v1o: initial speed of Betty = 3.0m/s

v2o: initial speed of the dog = 0 m/s

v: speed of both Betty and her dog = ?

You solve the equation (1) for v:

v=\frac{Mv_{1o}+mv_{2o}}{M+m}=\frac{(40kg)(3.0m/s)+(15kg)(0m/s)}{40kg+15kg}\\\\v=2.18m/s

The speed fo both Betty and her dog is 2.18m/s

A spring has a natural length of 14 cm. If a 23-N force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 20 cm, how much work W i
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

1.78 J

Explanation:

Find the spring coefficient using Hooke's law:

F = k Δx

23 N = k (0.20 m − 0.14 m)

k = 383.33 N/m

The work is the change in energy:

W = PE₂ − PE₁

W = ½ kx₂² − ½ kx₁²

W = ½ k (x₂² − x₁²)

W = ½ (383.33 N/m) ((0.17 m)² − (0.14 m)²)

W = 1.78 J

In a circuit a battery is used to
jeyben [28]

The power of batteries in a circuit. The key functions of a battery and bulb in a circuit are explained. A battery is a source of energy which provides a push - a voltage - of energy to get the current flowing in a circuit. A bulb uses the electrical energy provided by the battery, but does not use current.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a) g(r) = 4\pi \cdot G \cdot \rho\cdot r, b) g = 4\pi \cdot G \cdot \rho\cdot r_{P}

Explanation:

a) The acceleration due to gravity inside the planet is:

dg = G\cdot \frac{\rho \cdot dV}{r^{2}}

dg = G\cdot \frac{\rho \cdot dV}{r^{2}}

dg = G\cdot \frac{4\pi\cdot \rho \cdot r^{2}\,dr}{r^{2}}

dg = 4\pi\cdot G\cdot \rho \,dr

g(r) = 4\pi \cdot G \cdot \rho\cdot r

b) The acceleration at the surface of the planet is:

g = 4\pi \cdot G \cdot \rho\cdot r_{P}

A delivery man starts at the post office, drives 40 km north, then 20 km west, then 60 km northeast, and finally 50 km north to
Vesnalui [34]



assuming north-south along the Y-axis and east-west along the X-axis

X = total X-displacement

from the graph , total displacement along X-direction is given as

X = 0 - 20 + 60 Cos45 + 0

X = 42.42 - 20

X = 22.42 m


Y = total Y- displacement

from the graph , total displacement along Y-direction is given as

Y = 40 + 0  + 60 Sin45 + 50

Y = 90 + 42.42

Y = 132.42 m

magnitude of the net displacement vector using Pythagorean theorem is given as

magnitude : Sqrt(X² + Y²) = Sqrt(22.42² + 132.42²) = 134.31 m

Direction : tan⁻¹(Y/X) = tan⁻¹(132.42/22.42) = 80.4 deg north of east
