Explanation:

Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.

A 70-kg ice skater is standing still on the ice, when a friend tosses him a 10-kg ball that is traveling at +8 m/s. If he catche
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:+1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of ice skater M=70 kg

mass of ball m=10 kg

the initial velocity of the ball  u_1=+8\ m/s

Conserving linear momentum

M\times0+m\timesu_1=(M+m)v\quad \quad [v=\text{combined velocity of skater and ball}]

v=\dfrac{10\times10}{80}=+1.25\ m/s

Therefore the velocity of the person holding the ball is 1.25 m/s

This collision represents the perfectly inelastic collision where particles stick together after the collision.

An organ pipe of length 3.0 m has one end closed. The longest and next-longest possible wavelengths for standing waves inside th
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The longest wavelength for closed at one end and open at the other is

y / 4      where y is the wavelength - that is node - antinode

The next possible wavelength is 3 y / 4 -    node - antinode - node -antinode

y / 4 = 3 m     y = 12 meters    the longest wavelength

3 y / 4 = 3 m      y = 4 meters   1 / 3 times as long

A crane lifts a car with 9023 J of kinetic energy. The crane lifts the car with a speed
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

m = 2301.8 [kg]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved in an easy way using the definition of kinetic energy, in this way you can clear the mass, depending on the known variables.

E_{k}=0.5*m*v^2\\replacing\\\\9023 = 0.5 *m*(2.8)^2\\m = 2301.8[kg]
