A 45.0-kg girl stands on a 13.0-kg wagon holding two 18.0-kg weights. She throws the weights horizontally off the back of the wa

gon at a speed of 6.5 m/s relative to herself . Assuming that the wagon was at rest initially, what is the speed of the girl relative to the ground after she throws both weights at the same time

Answer:

v = 4.0 m/s

Explanation:

  • Assuming no external forces acting during the instant that the girl throws the weights, total momentum must be conserved.
  • Since all the masses at rest initially, the initial momentum must be zero.
  • So, due to momentum must keep constant, final momentum must be zero too, as follows:

       p_{f} = m_{w} * v_{w} + m_{g+w} *v_{g+w} = 0 (1)

  • Assuming the direction towards the back of the wagon as positive, and replacing the masses in (1), we can solve for vg, as follows:

       v_{g+w} =- \frac{m_{w} *v_{w}}{m_{g+w} } =  - \frac{36.0kg *6.5m/s}{58.0kg } = -4.0m/s  (2)

  • This means that the girl (along with the wagon on she is standing) will move at a speed of 4.0 m/s in an opposite direction to the one she threw the weights.

Answer:

Explanation:

These tectonic plates rest upon the convecting mantle, which causes them to move. The movements of these plates can account for noticeable geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and more subtle yet sublime events, like the building of mountains.

A car traveling 90km/hr is 100 m behind a truck traveling 50km/hr. How long will it take the car to reach the truck?
AlexFokin [52]

The faster car behind is catching up/closing the gap/gaining on
the slow truck in front at the rate of (90 - 50) = 40 km/hr.

At that rate, it takes (100 m) / (40,000 m/hr) = 1/400 of an hour
to reach the truck.

(1/400 hour) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 3600/400 = <em>9 seconds</em>, exactly

n alpha particle (q = +2e, m = 4.00 u) travels in a circular path of radius 5.94 cm in a uniform magnetic field with B = 1.10 T.
9966 [12]

Answer:

a). V = 3.13*10⁶ m/s

b). T = 1.19*10^-7s

c). K.E = 2.04*10⁵

d). V = 1.02*10⁵V

Explanation:

q = +2e

M = 4.0u

r = 5.94cm = 0.0594m

B = 1.10T

1u = 1.67 * 10^-27kg

M = 4.0 * 1.67*10^-27 = 6.68*10^-27kg

a). Centripetal force = magnetic force

Mv / r = qB

V = qBr / m

V = [(2 * 1.60*10^-19) * 1.10 * 0.0594] / 6.68*10^-27

V = 2.09088 * 10^-20 / 6.68 * 10^-27

V = 3.13*10⁶ m/s

b). Period of revolution.

T = 2Πr / v

T = (2*π*0.0594) / 3.13*10⁶

T = 1.19*10⁻⁷s

c). kinetic energy = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 6.68*10^-27 * (3.13*10⁶)²

K.E = 3.27*10^-14J

1ev = 1.60*10^-19J

xeV = 3.27*10^-14J

X = 2.04*10⁵eV

K.E = 2.04*10⁵eV

d). K.E = qV

V = K / q

V = 2.04*10⁵ / (2eV).....2e-

V = 1.02*10⁵V
