Suppose you have thrown a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree,and the rock misses on the way up but hits the coc

onut on the way down.Neglecting air resistance,how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it hits the coconut on the way up?Is is more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain.

Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock

1. A 4000-kg truck traveling with a velocity of 20 m/s due south collides headon with a 1350-kg car traveling with a velocity of

velikii [3]

(a) The momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) The size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

Explanation:

The mass of the truck moving due south is given as 4000 kg and the speed is 20 m/s. Similarly, the mass of the car moving due north is 1350 kg and the speed is 10 m/s.

(a) Then the momentum of each vehicle can be obtained by the product of mass with their respective speed.

$Momentum of truck = Mass * Speed = 4000 * 20 =80000 kgm/s$

Similarly, the momentum of car will be

$Momentum of car = 1350 * 10 = 13500 kgm/s$

So, the momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) Since, after collision, the vehicles stick together, the momentum after collision will be equal to the total momentum of both the vehicles before collision. This is because, it will obey conservation of momentum.

Momentum of vehicles after collision = total momentum before collision

Momentum after collision = 80000+13500 = 93500 kgm/s.

The direction of the vehicles after collision will be towards south as the mass and speed of the truck is greater than car. So the impact or force exerted on the car by the truck will be greater and thus both the vehicles will be directed towards south after collision.

Thus, the size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

Calculate the wavelength of each frequency of electromagnetic radiation: a. 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasti

Natalka [10]

Answer:

a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)

The wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)

The wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication)

The wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Explanation:

The wavelength can be determined by the following equation:

$c = \lambda \cdot \nu$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is the wavelength and $\nu$ is the frequency.

Notice that since it is electromagnetic radiation, equation 1 can be used. Remember that light propagates in the form of an electromagnetic wave.

<em>a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)</em>

Then, $\lambda$ can be isolated from equation 1:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}$ (2)

since the value of c is $3x10^{8}m/s$ . It is necessary to express the frequency in units of hertz.

$\nu = 100.2 MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz}$ ⇒ $100200000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 100200000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{100200000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 2.99 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

<em>b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)</em>

<em> </em>

$\nu = 1070kHz . \frac{1000Hz}{1kHz}$ ⇒ $1070000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 1070000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1070000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 280.3 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

<em>c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication) </em>

$\nu = 835.6MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz}$ ⇒ $835600000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 835600000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{835600000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 0.35 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 4.9 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<h2>0.069 N, in the X direction</h2>

Explanation:

According to Flemming's left hand rule, it sates that if the first three fingers of the left hand are held mutually at right angles to one another, the fore finger will point in the direction of magnetic field, the middle finger will point in direction of current, while the thumb will point to the direction of force.

Mathematically the law is stated as

F= BIL

given data

Magnetic field B= 0.43T

Current I= 4.9 A

length of conductor L= 3.3cm to meter , 3.3/100= 0.033 m

Applying the formula the force is calculated as

F= 0.43*4.9* 0.033= 0.069 N

According to Flemming's rule the direction of all parameters are mutually perpendicular to one another, then the Force is in the X direction
