Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs $m = 300 \times 10^{-3}$ Kg

Velocity of snowball $v = 10 \frac{m}{s}$

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

$F = \frac{mv}{1}$

Where $dt = 1$ sec

$F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10$

$F = 3$ N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

$F = 3 \times 2$

$F = 6$ N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field 2.0 m from a long wire that is charged uniformly at λ = 4.0 × 10-6 C

Len [333]

Answer: 71.93 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric field from long wire we have to use the Gaussian law, this is:

∫E*dr=Q inside/εo Q inside is given by: λ*L then,

E*2*π*r*L=λ*L/εo

E= λ/(2*π*εo*r)= 4* 10^-6/(2*3.1415*8.85*10^-12*2 )= 71.93 * 10^3 N/C

A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000 km. Sup

Tema [17]

Answer:

a) v = 19,149.6 m/s

b) f = 95%

c) t = 346.5min

Explanation:

First put all values in metric units:

$15.8 min*\frac{60s}{1min}=948s$

The equation of motion you need is:

$v_f = a*t+v_0$

where $v_f$ is the final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time in hours.

Since the spaceship starts from 0 velocity:

$v_f = a*t = 20.2*948 = 19,149.6 m/s$

Next, you need to calculate the distances traveled on each interval, considering that both starting and final intervals travel the same distance because the acceleration and time are equal. For this part you need the next motion equation:

$x=\frac{v_0+v_f}{2}t$

solving for first and last interval:

Since the spaceship starts and finish with 0 velocity:

$x=\frac{v}{2}t=\frac{19,149.6}{2}948=9,076,910.4m=9,076.9104km$

Then the ship traveled $384,000-9,076.9104*2 = 361,846.1792km$ at constant speed, which means that it traveled:

$f_{constant_speed} =\frac{ x_{constant_speed}}{x_total} =\frac{361,846.1792}{380,000} =0.95$

Which in percentage is 95% of the trip.

to calculate total time you need to calculate the time used during constant speed:

$t = \frac{361,846,179.2}{19,149.6} = 18,895.75s = 314min$

That added to the other interval times:

$t_{total} = t_1+t_2+t_3=15.8+314.93+15.8=346.5min$

A wire is joined to points X and Y in the circuit diagram shown. A diagram of a circuit with a power source on the left. Directl

Sidana [21]

The circuit change when the wire is added will see a short circuit occur and makes bulbs 1 and 2 turn off but keeps bulbs 3 and 4 lit. Option D. This is further explained below.

<h3>How does the circuit change when the wire is added?</h3>

Generally, Electronic circuits consist of a series of interconnected parts that form a closed loop through which electricity may flow.

In conclusion, If two wires are linked together, a short circuit will develop, cutting power to bulbs 1 and 2. But there is no impact on bulbs 3 and 4. There is no problem with bulbs 3 and 4.
