6. A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jump

s from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the shore during her jump. What are the speeds of the two logs and of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log

Answer:

a) -3.267 m/s

b) 2.227 m/s

Explanation:

As per the conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2=0

m1= mass of log

m2 = mass of lumber jack

v1 = velocity of log

v2 = velocity of lumber jack

a) Velocity of first log

$-\frac{70*7}{150} = -3.267$ m/s

b) m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3

Velocity of log

= $\frac{70*7}{150+70} \\2.227$

A) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a

$l_o =52 \ m$

b

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the spaceship is $v = 0.800c$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s$

The length is $l = 31.2 \ m$

The distance of the star for earth is $d = 145 \ light \ years$

The speed is $v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}$

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

$l = l_o \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Now the when at rest the length is $l_o$

So

$l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }$

$l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }$

$l_o=52 \ m$

Considering b

Applying above equation

$l =l_o \sqrt{1 - [\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Here $l_o =145 \ LY(light \ years )$

So

$l=145 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }$

$l =145 * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }$

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

Some superconductors are capable of carrying a very large quantity of current. If the measured current is 1.00 ´ 105 A, how many

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The $6.25 \times 10^{23}$ electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

Explanation:

Given :

Current $I = 1 \times 10^{5}$ A

Charge of electron $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}$ C

Time $t = 1$ sec

From the formula of current,

Current is the number of charges flowing per unit time.

$I = \frac{ne}{t}$

Where $n =$ number of charges means in our case number of electrons

$n = \frac{It}{e}$

$n = \frac{1 \times 10^{5} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} }$

$n = 6.25 \times 10^{23}$

Therefore, $6.25 \times 10^{23}$ electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.
