If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you'll break it, but if you throw it with the same speed into a sagging sheet it won't br

eak. why? 1. the sheet is much slicker than the wall. 2. the breaking egg causes a larger impact time, decreasing the force. 3. the impact time when the egg strikes a sagging sheet is long, so the impact force is small. 4. the velocity of the egg decreases faster in the sheet than on the wall.

<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>

physics A river flows at a speed vr = 5.37 km/hr with respect to the shoreline. A boat needs to go perpendicular to the shorelin
vova2212 [387]

Answer: Vb is the vector  (-5.37m/s,  8.59 m/s), with a module 10.13m/s

then the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9

Explanation:

We can use the notation (x, y) where the river flows in the x-axis and the pier is on the y-axis.

We have Vr = (5.37m/s, 0m/s)

Now, if the boat wants to move only along the y-axis (perpendicularly to the shore).

The velocity of the boat Vb will be:

Vb = (-c*sin(32). c*cos(32))

Then we should have that:

5.37 m/s - c*sin(32) = 0

c = (5.37/sin(32))m/s = 10.13 m/s

the velocity in the y-axis is:

10.13m/s*cos(32) = 8.59 m/s

So Vb = (-5.37m/s,  8.59 m/s)

the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9 where i used Vb as the module of the boat's velocity.

A ship's propeller of diameter 3 m makes 10.6 revolutions in 30s. What is the angular velocity of the propeller?
ycow [4]

Answer:

The angular velocity of the propeller is 2.22 rad/s.

Explanation:

The angular velocity (ω) of the propeller is:  

\omega = \frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}                              

Where:

θ: is the angular displacement = 10.6 revolutions

t: is the time = 30 s

\omega = \frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t} = \frac{10.6 rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}}{30 s} = 2.22 rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the propeller is 2.22 rad/s.

I hope it helps you!

Let’s look at a radio-controlled model car. Suppose that at time t1=2.0st1=2.0s the car has components of velocity vx=1.0m/svx=1
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

a_x=6\ \text{m/s}^2 and a_y=0\ \text{m/s}^2

Magnitude of accleration is 6\ \text{m/s}^2 and the direction is 0^{\circ}

Explanation:

t_1=2\ \text{s}

v_x=1\ \text{m/s}

v_y=3\ \text{m/s}

t_2=2.5\ \text{s}

v_x=4\ \text{m/s}

v_y=3\ \text{m/s}

Average acceleration in the different axes

a_x=\dfrac{\Delta v_x}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow a_x=\dfrac{4-1}{2.5-2}\\\Rightarrow a_x=6\ \text{m/s}^2

a_y=\dfrac{\Delta v_y}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow a_y=\dfrac{3-3}{2.5-2}\\\Rightarrow a_y=0\ \text{m/s}^2

The components of the acceleration is a_x=6\ \text{m/s}^2 and a_y=0\ \text{m/s}^2

The magnitude of acceleration

a=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{6^2+0^2}\\\Rightarrow a=6\ \text{m/s}^2

Direction

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{0}{6}\\\Rightarrow \theta=0^{\circ}

The magnitude of accleration is 6\ \text{m/s}^2 and the direction is 0^{\circ}.
