Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.

A 70.0-kg person throws a 0.0480-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 33.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 55.0 kg, c

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The final velocity of the thrower is $\bf{3.88~m/s}$ and the final velocity of the catcher is $\bf{0.029~m/s}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the thrower, $m_{t} = 70~Kg$ .

The mass of the catcher, $m_{c} = 55~Kg$ .

The mass of the ball, $m_{b} = 0.0480~Kg$ .

Initial velocity of the thrower, $v_{it} = 3.90~m/s$

Final velocity of the ball, $v_{fb} = 33.5~m/s$

Initial velocity of the catcher, $v_{ic} = 0~m/s$

Consider that the final velocity of the thrower is $v_{ft}$ . From the conservation of momentum,

$&& m_{t}v_{ft} + m_{b}v_{fb} = (m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it} - m_{b}v_{fb}}{m_{t}}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(70 + 0.0480)(3.90) - (0.0480)(33.5)}{70}\\&or,& v_{ft} = 3.88~m/s$

Consider that the final velocity of the catcher is $v_{fc}$ . From the conservation of momentum,

$&& (m_{c} + m_{b})v_{fc} = m_{b}v_{it}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{m_{b}v_{it}}{(m_{c} + m_{b})}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{(0.048)(33.5)}{(55.0 + 0.0480)}\\&or,& v_{fc} = 0.029~m/s$

Thus, the final velocity of thrower is $3.88~m/s$ and that for the catcher is $0.029~m/s$ .

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow- dryer is 11 Amps, and th

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

(a) 1320 W

(b) 480 W

(c) E':E ≈ 11:2

Explanation:

(a) Applying,

P' = VI'................. Equation 1

Where P' = Power of the blow-dryer, V = Voltage, I = current rating of the blow-dryer.

From the question,

Given: V = 120 V, I' = 11 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (120×11)

P = 1320 W

(b) Similarly,

P = VI................... Equation 2

Where P = Power of the vacuum cleaner. I = current rating of the vacuum cleaner.

Also Given: I = 4 A,

Therefore

P = 4(120)

P = 480 W

(c)

E' = P'/t'............. Equation 3

E = P/t................ Equation 4

Where E' = Energy of the blow-dryer, t' = time of use of the blow-dryer, E = Energy of the vacuum cleaner, t = time of use of the vacuum cleaner

From the question,

Given: t' = 15 minutes = (15×60) = 900 seconds, t = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3 and 4

E' = 1320/900

E' = 1.47 J,

E = 480/1800

E = 0.267

Therefore,

E':E = 1.47:0.267

E':E ≈ 11:2
