Sheila weighs 60 kg and is riding a bike. Her momentum on the bike is 340 kg • m/s. The bike hits a rock, which stops it complet

ely and throws Sheila forward onto the pavement. If there is no net force on the system, what is Sheila's velocity immediately after she is thrown from the bike? 1.8 m/s 2.0 m/s 5.0 m/s 5.7 m/s

Answer:

v₂ = 5.7 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

Total\ Initial\ Momentum = m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}\\

where,

Total Initial Momentum = 340 kg.m/s

m₁ = mass of bike

v₁ = final speed of bike = 0 m/s

m₂ = mass of Sheila = 60 kg

v₂ = final speed of Sheila = ?

Therefore,

340\ kg.m/s = m_{1}(0\ m/s) + (60\ kg)v_{2}\\v_{2} = \frac{340\ kg.m/s}{60\ kg}\\\\

<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s </u>

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

A carpenter on the roof of a building accidentally drops herhammer. As the hammer falls it passes two windows of equal height,a)
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) the speed increment of the hammer as it drops past the first window, is greater than that of the speed of the hammer as it drops past the second window. This can also be translated as saying that the hammer spent more time at the second window.

b) III

The best answer would be answer III, The hammer spends more time dropping past window 1, which I had already included in my explanation in (a) above.

Two sound waves have equal displacement amplitudes, but wave 1 has two-thirds the frequency of wave 2. What is the ratio of the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

Explanation:

c = Speed of wave

\rho = Density of medium

A = Area

\nu = Frequency

\nu_1=\dfrac{2}{3}\nu_2

Intensity of sound is given by

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A\omega)^2\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A2\pi \nu)^2

So,

I\propto \nu^2

We get

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\nu_1^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}^2\nu_2^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

The ratio is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}
