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.

Two charges (q1 = 3.8*10-6C, q2 = 3.2*10-6C) are separated by a distance of d = 3.25 m. Consider q1 to be located at the origin.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The distance is 1.69 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge q_{1}= 3.8\times10^{-6}\ C

Second charge q_{2}=3.2\times10^{-6}\ C

Distance = 3.25 m

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}=E_{2}

\dfrac{kq_{1}}{x^2}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{(d-x)^2}

\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}=\dfrac{(x)^2}{(d-x)^2}

\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}}=\dfrac{x}{d-x}

x=(d-x)\times\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}}

Put the value into the formula

x=(3.25-x)\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}

x+x\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}=3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}

x(1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}})=3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}

x=\dfrac{3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}}{(1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}})}

x=1.69\ m

Hence, The distance is 1.69 m.

Why is no image formed when an object is at the focal point of a converging lens?
Temka [501]

Answer:

the refracted rays neither converge nor diverge. After refracting, the light rays are traveling parallel to each other and cannot produce an image.

what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current
Sophie [7]

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

<em>R = 480 Ohms</em>

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is.  (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.

How do quantum numbers relate to electrons?<br> please explain?
alukav5142 [94]
Quantum numbers<span> allow us to both simplify and dig deeper into electron configurations. Electron configurations allow us to identify energy level, subshell, and the number of electrons in those locations. If you choose to go a bit further, you can also add in x,y, or z subscripts to describe the exact orbital of those subshells (for example </span><span>2<span>px</span></span>). Simply put, electron configurations are more focused on location of electrons then anything else. 
<span>
Quantum numbers allow us to dig deeper into the electron configurations by allowing us to focus on electrons' quantum nature. This includes such properties as principle energy (size) (n), magnitude of angular momentum (shape) (l), orientation in space (m), and the spinning nature of the electron. In terms of connecting quantum numbers back to electron configurations, n is related to the energy level, l is related to the subshell, m is related to the orbital, and s is due to Pauli Exclusion Principle.</span>

Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
