Answer:

When you toss a rolled up sock across the room, it travels faster as it becomes round and has more weight added on it and this causes the sock to travel in the direction you wish and this gives you a high chance of the sock going straight into the laundry basket, no matter how far away you are.

On the other hand, throwing a sock without rolling it up will cause the sock to just flat down as you throw it. It will travel at a low speed because it has no weight on it since it is flat, and if you try to throw it, it will atleast land 21 cm away from you. About a 0% chance of it getting in the basket.

Hope this helped! =>

a person does 100 joules of work in pulling back the string of a bow. what will be the initial speed of a 0.5 kg arrow when it i

eduard

If all the energy she put into bending the bow is completely
transmitted to the arrow, then the arrow has the 100 joules
of kinetic energy when it leaves the bow.

   Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   100 J = (1/2) (0.5 kg) (speed²)

Divide each side by 0.25 kg: 100 J / 0.25 kg = speed²

[ joule ] = [ newton-meter ] = kg-m²/sec²

100 kg-m²/sec² / 0.25 kg = speed²

   400 m²/sec² = speed²

Take the square root of each side: speed = √400 m/s

    20 m/s

      (about 44.7 mph)

What are some indicators of energy transformations?

Annette [7]

Explanation:

Contact, vision, sound, flavor, and smell are all markers of energy transformations. The most basic example would be when we notice something has begun to pass through vision. Whenever an entity accelerates or slows down, energy is constantly transformed.

Sayid made a chart listing data of two colliding objects. A 5-column table titled Collision: Two Objects Stick Together with 2 r

Alborosie

Answer:

6 m/s is the missing final velocity

Explanation:

From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).

Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.

Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.

We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.

In numbers, and calling $P_{xi}$ the initial momentum of object X and $P_{yi}$ the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system: $P_{total}_i=P_{xi}+P_{yi}= 300*10 \frac{kg*m}{s} -100*6\frac{kg*m}{s} =\\=(3000-600 )\frac{kg*m}{s} =2400 \frac{kg*m}{s}$

Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):

Final momentum of the system: $M * v_f=400kg * v_f$
