A big red fish with a mass of 20 kg swims with a velocity of 2 m/s toward a small, stationary green fish which has a mass of 10

kg. The big red fish opens its mouth and swallows the small green fish. What will the big red fish's velocity be immediately after swallowing its meal?​

Answer:

1.33m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

M1  = 20kg

V1  = 2m/s

V2 = 0m/s

M2  = 10kg

Unknown:

V  = ?

Solution:

As with all systems, the momentum must be conserved and it implies that the starting and ending momentum be the same.

  M1 V1  +  M2 V2  = V (M1 + M2)

M1 is the mass of the big red fish

V1 is the velocity of the big red fish

V2 is the velocity of the green fish

M2 is the mass of the green fish

V is the velocity after swallowing

           (20 x 2) + (10 x 0)  = V (20 + 10)

                      40  = 30V

                      V  = 1.33m/s

A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i
scoray [572]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.

While doing a lab, a student found the density of a piece of pure aluminum to be 2.85 g/cm3. The accepted value for the density
bezimeni [28]
The equation for percent error is

% Error = 100*|Experimental-Theoretical|/Theoretical

Our experimental is 2.85g/cm^3 and the accepted is 2.7g/cm^3

Thus our % Error = 5.555%

A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).
