A 65.8-kg person throws a 0.0413 kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 32.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 58.7 kg, c
guapka [62]

Answer:

v_{1} = 2.490\,\frac{m}{s}

v_{2} = 0.023\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The statement is described physically by means of the Principle of Momentum Conservation. Let assume that first person moves in the positive direction:

First Person

(65.8\,kg)\cdot (2.51\,\frac{m}{s}) = (65.8\,kg)\cdot v_{1} + (0.0413\,kg)\cdot (32.5\,\frac{m}{s} )

Second Person

(0.0413\,kg)\cdot (32.5\,\frac{m}{s})+(58.7\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s})=(0.0413\,kg+58.7\,kg)\cdot v_{2}

The final velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged is:

v_{1} = 2.490\,\frac{m}{s}

v_{2} = 0.023\,\frac{m}{s}

What is the focal length (in meters) of a lens whose radius of curvature is 9. 2 m and has a refractive index 1. 2?
Fed [463]

The focal length (in meters) of a lens whose radius of curvature is 9. 2 m and has a refractive index  1.2 will be 18.4 m

The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. Lens focal length tells us the angle of view—how much of the scene will be captured—and the magnification—how large individual elements will be.

Focal length of a lens is the distance between center of lens and focal point . Focal point is a point on principal axis , at which light rays parallel to principal axis meet after refraction through lens or seem to meet after refraction .

The radius of curvature is the radius of sphere formed by the convex or concave mirror. It is also equal to the distance between the pole and center of curvature. The sign convention for focal length and radius of curvature is the same.

focal length = 2 * radius of curvature

given

radius of curvature = 9.2 m

focal length = 2 * 9.2

                    = 18.4 m

A unit mass of an ideal gas at temperature T undergoes a reversible isothermal process from pressure P1 to pressure P2 while los
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Option B

Change in entropy of the process is \Delta S= Rln(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})

Explanation:

The entropy of a system is a measure of the degree of disorderliness of the system.

The entropy of a system moving from process 1 to 2 is given as

\Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{\delta q}{T}}

recall from first law, \delta q =du +Pdv

hence we have, \Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{du +Pdv}{T}}

since the process is isothermal, du= 0

this gives us \Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{Pdv}{T}}

integrating within the limits of 1 and 2, will give us

\Delta S = R ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

also from ideal gas laws,

\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}=\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}

hence we have    \Delta S = R ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})

This makes the correct option B

The weight of an empty bottle is 10 N. When filled with water, its weight is 60 N. when the same bottle is emptied and then fill
Natali [406]

Answer:

"The weight of an empty bottle is 10N...Calculate the mass of the empty bottle."

w=Weight; m=Mass; g=Gravity

w=mg

w/g=m

10/9.81=m

1.019368kg = m
