During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of 39.0 kg and its horizontal component of velocity is 6.50 m/s just before the 65.0 kg performer catches it. If the performer is initially motionless on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his speed immediately after catching the cannon ball

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]2.4375\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]m_1[/tex] = Mass of cannon ball = 39 kg

[tex]m_2[/tex] = Mass of performer = 65 kg

[tex]u_1[/tex] = Initial horizontal component of cannon ball's velocity = 6.5 m/s

[tex]u_2[/tex] = Initial horizontal component of performer's velocity = 0

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the momentum of the system is conserved we have

[tex]m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{39\times 6.5+0}{39+65}\\\Rightarrow v=2.4375\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

The speed of the performer immediately after catching the cannon ball is [tex]2.4375\ \text{m/s}[/tex].

An alumium rod when measured with a steel scale both being at 25 degree celcius appears to be 1 meter long. If the scale is correct at 0 degree celcius, what is the true length of the rod at 25 degree celcius? What wull be the length of rod at 0 degree celcius?​

Answers

Given:
temperature at which the rod is measured= 25°
length of aluminium rod measured at 25°C= 1 meter
temperature at which the scale is correct= 0°C
Linear expansivity of steel= 12* 10^-6
linear expansivity of aluminum= 26* 10^-6
To find:
True length of rod at 25°C
Length of rod at 0°C
Solution:
Let the length of the aluminum and steel rod at 0°C be L0A and L0S respectively.
Length of the steel scale at 25°C , thermal expansion is:
LA25 = LA0(1+ (αS - αA)25)
LA0 = LA25/ (1+ (αS-αA)t)
LA0 = 100/ (1+ (12*10^-6 - 26*10^-6)25)
LA0 ≈ 100.05 cm at 0°C
2. Let the length at 25°C of the aluminium trod be LA25
The actual measure of aluminum rod at 25°C, will be
LA25 = 100 * (1+ 26* 10^-6*25)
LA25 ≈ 100.06 cm

Netwtons 1st law of motion

Answers

Answer:

Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. This postulate is known as the law of inertia.

Explanation:

A. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the south.
B. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 9.0 m/s to the north.
C. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 9.0 m/s to the south.
D. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the north.
E. The wreckage after collision is motionless.

Answers

Answer:

The reckage after collision is motionless (E)

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.

The kind of collision described in the question above is known as a perfectly inelastic collision, and in this type of collision, the maximum kinetic energy is lost because the objects moving in opposite directions have a resultant momentum that is equal, but in opposite directions hence they cancel each other out.

The calculation is as follows:

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where:

m₁ = m₂ = 1000kg

v₁ = 20 m/s

v₂ = -20 m/s ( in the opposite vector direction)

∴ resultant momentum = (1000 × 20) + (1000 × -20)

= 20000 - 20000 = 0

∴ The reckage after collision is motionless

Answer:

The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the south.

An airplane has a momentum of 8.55 x 107 kg.m/s[S] and a velocity of 900 km/h[S]. Determine the mass of the airplane.

Answers

95000kg is the mass of the airplane.

What is momentum?

A property of a moving body that the body has by virtue of its mass and motion and that is equal to the product of the body's mass and velocity.

It is also known as the property of a moving body that determines the length of time required to bring it to rest when under the action of a constant force.

Mathematically ,

p = mv

According to the question,

Momentum of airplane =  8.55 x 10⁷ kg.m/s

Velocity of airplane =  900 km/h

Computing the values in the formula,

p = mv

8.55 x 10⁷ kg.m/s =  m x  900 km/h

m =[tex]\frac{8.55 * 10^7 kg.m/s}{900 km/h}[/tex]

m = 95000 kg

Therefore ,

The mass of the airplane 95000 kg

An instructor wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition with two tiny slits separated by 0.180 mm. An interference pattern appears on a screen that lies 5.30 m from the slit pair. The instructor's measurements show that two adjacent bright interference fringes lie 1.60 cm apart on the screen. What is the laser's wavelength (in nm) ?

Answers

Answer:

λ = 5.434 x 10⁻⁷ m = 543.4 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the formula provided by Young's Double Slit experiment:

[tex]\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta xd}{L}[/tex]

where,

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Δx = distance between adjacent bright fringes = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

d = slit separation = 0.18 mm = 0.00018 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 5.3 m

Therefore,

[tex]\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.00018\ m)}{5.3\ m}[/tex]

λ = 5.434 x 10⁻⁷ m = 543.4 nm

Answers

Answer:

a)      N = 7.90 10³ N,  b) N = -1.04 10⁴ N

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use Newton's second law

             N -W = m (-a)

The relationship is centripetal, the negative sign of the acceleration is because it points towards the center of the circle

              a = v² / r

we substitute

             N = mg -m v² /r  

             N = m (g - v² /r)

let's calculate

v = 8.7 m / s

             N = 1240 (9.81 - 8.7²/22)

             N = 7.90 10³ N

b) v = 20 m / s

             N = 1240 (9.81 - 20²/22)
