m1=1500kg
m_2=3000kg
v_1=5m/s
v_2=7m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m1+m2)v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 1500(5)-3000(7)=(1500+3000)v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 7500-21000=4500v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -13500=4500v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow v_3=-3m/s$

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Suppose the three resistors in the picture represents a 240 W

Airida [17]

A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.

How have moral and ethical issues influenced science

umka2103 [35]

Often times, moral and ethical issues could hindrance the development of science.
For example, the cloning technology has been hindranced by these type of issues since the beginning of its creation.
The moral and ethical aspect of society somehow oppose the technology because they feel that the sicentists are 'playing God' and doing something that humans are not suppose to be doing, even though there might be overwhelming benefits from the technology.

An object of unknown mass is initially at rest and dropped from a height h. It reaches the ground with a velocity v1 . The same

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

$v_2=\sqrt{2}v_1$

Explanation:

The velocity v₁ can be calculated with the kinematic formula:

$v_1^{2} =v_0^{2} +2gh$

Since the object is initially at rest, v₁ becomes:

$v_1=\sqrt{2gh}$

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Now, the velocity v₂ can be calculated with the same formula, but now the initial velocity is v₁:

$v_2^{2}=v_1^{2} +2gh$

Substituting v₁ in this expression and solving for v₂, we get:

$v_2^{2}=(\sqrt{2gh} )^{2} +2gh=4gh\\\\\implies v_2=\sqrt{4gh}=2\sqrt{gh}$

Now, dividing v₂ over v₁, we get the expression:

$\frac{v_2}{v_1}=\frac{2\sqrt{gh} }{\sqrt{2gh}}=\sqrt{2}\\ \\\implies v_2=\sqrt{2}v_1$

It means that v₂ is √2 times v₁.

A mass m is attached to an ideal massless spring with spring constant k. In experiment 1 the mass oscillates with amplitude a, a

Trava [24]

Time period remains the same in both the experiment as change in amplitude does not affect time period.

What are the factors on which time period depends in SHM?

Time period is given by:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

where,

T = time period

m = mass

k = spring constant

In a straightforward harmonic motion, we see from the preceding formula that the time period depends only on the object's mass and spring constant (SHM). The time period will adjust to any variations in the object's mass or the spring constant.

What is Spring Constant?

A spring's "spring constant" is a property that quantifies the relationship between the force acting on the spring and the displacement it produces. In other words, it characterises a spring's stiffness and the extent of its range of motion.
