Is a hockey player moving at a constant velocity across frictionless ice, balance or unbalance

Physics

1 answer:

daser333 [38]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Balanced

Explanation:

An unbalanced force will cause a change in the velocity, either the speed or direction, thus if the object is moving at a constant velocity that indicates that there is no acceleration or change in velocity which means that the forces are balanced.

The train traveled 500 kilometers north to Odessa in 2 hours . What’s the train’s speed ? What is the velocity ?

ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

Speed is distance over time.

500 km / 2 hr = 250 km/hr

Velocity is speed and direction.

250 km/hr north

You're carrying a 3.0-m-long, 24 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pol

kozerog [31]

Answer:

$F=133N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length $l=3.0m$

Mass $m=24kg$

Distance from Tip $d=35cm$

Generally, the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

$mg(l/2)=F(l-d)$

$2*9.81(3/2)=F(3-35*10^-2)$

Therefore

$F=133N$

A sample of radium-226 will decay to ¼ of its original amount after 3200 years. What is the half-life of radium-226?

lesantik [10]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

1600 years

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original amount.
We can use the formula; N = O × (1/2)^n ; where N is the new mass, O is the original amount and n is the number of half lives.
A sample of radium-226 takes 3200 years to decay to 1/4 of its original amount.

Therefore;

1/4 = 1 × (1/2)^n

1/4 = (1/2)^n

n = 2

Thus; 3200 years is equivalent to 2 half lives.

Hence, the half life of radium-226 is 1600 years

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

$4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m$

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0$ is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)

n is the refractive index of the medium

In this problem:

$\lambda_0 = 5.89\cdot 10^{-7} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave

n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:

$\lambda=\frac{5.89\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.47}=4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m$

What’s The Answer, To The Question In The Photo

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is the third option: The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

Explanation:

Temperature is, in depth, a statistical value; kind of an average of the particles movement in any physical system (such as a glass filled with water). Kinetic energy, for sure, is the energy resulting from movement (technically depending on mass and velocity of a system; in other words, the faster something moves, the greater its kinetic energy.

Since temperature is related to the total average random movement in a system, and so is the kinetic energy (related to movement through velocity), as the thermometer measures less temperature, that would mean that the particles (in this case: water particles) are moving slowly, so that: the slower something moves, the lower its kinetic energy.

In summary: temperature tells about how fast are moving and colliding the particles within a system, and since it is directly proportional to the amount of movement, it can be related (also directly proportional) to the kinectic energy.
