A 5.00-kg ball is hanging from a long but very light flexible wire when it is struck by a 1.50-kg stone traveling horizontally t
devlian [24]

consider the right direction as positive and left direction as negative.

M = mass of the ball = 5 kg

m = mass of stone = 1.50 kg

V_{bi} = initial velocity of the ball before collision = 0 m/s

V_{si} = initial velocity of the stone before collision = 12 m/s

V_{bf} = final velocity of the ball after collision = ?

V_{sf} = final velocity of the stone after collision = - 8.50 m/s

using conservation of momentum

MV_{bi} + mV_{si} = MV_{bf} + mV_{sf}

(5) (0) + (1.5) (12) = 5 V_{bf} + (1.50) (- 8.50)

V_{bf} = 6.15 m/s

h = height gained by the ball

using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by ball at Top = kinetic energy at the bottom

Mgh = (0.5) MV_{bf}^{2}

(9.8) h = (0.5) (6.15)²

h = 1.93 m

An older camera has a lens with a focal length of 60mm and uses 34-mm-wide film to record its images. Using this camera, a photo
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

24.71 mm

Explanation:

Distance is proportional to focal length, so

d∝f

which means

\frac{d'_1}{d'_2}=\frac{f_1}{f_2}

Magnification of first lens

M_2=-\frac{d'_1}{d_1}

                   and

M_2=\frac{h'_1}{h_1}

Similarly, magnification of second lens

M_2=-\frac{d'_2}{d_1}

                   and

M_2=\frac{h'_2}{h_1}

From the above equations we get

\frac{M_1}{M_2}=\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}

                   and

\frac{M_1}{M_2}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}

which means,

\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}

and

\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}=\frac{f_1}{f_2}

So, we get

\frac{f_1}{f_2}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}\\\Rightarrow f_2=f_1\times\frac{h_2'}{h'_1}\\\Rightarrow f_2=60\times\frac{14}{34}=24.71\ mm

∴ Focal length should this camera's lens is 24.71 mm

Two identical boxes are being pulled across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity by a horizontal pulling force of 176 N tha
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

the tension in the rope between the boxes is equal to 88 N

Explanation:

given,

the force applied on one body F = 176 N

When two bodies are moving on horizontal plane at constant velocity then their kinetic friction (f k) is equal to applied force F

According to newton third law the resultant force acting on one body is equal to the resultant force acting on the another body.

T is the tension in the rope

T- f_k = - (T- f_k)

T - F = - (T - F)

T - 176 = - (T - 0)

2 T = 176

T = 176/2 = 88 N

so, the tension in the rope between the boxes is equal to 88 N

An adult elephant has a mass of about 5.0 tons. An adult elephant shrew has a mass of about 50 grams. How far r from the center
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

2023857702.507m

Explanation:

f=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

recall from newton's law of gravitation

G=gravitational constant

mshew=50g

melephant=5*10^3kg

rearth=radius of the earth 6400km or 6400000m

mearth= masss of the earth

Gm(shrew)m(earth)/r(earth)^2 = Gm(elephant)m(earth)/r^2

strike out the left hand side and right hand side variables

m(shrew)/r(earth)^2 = m(elephant)/r^2

r^2 = m(elephant).r(earth)^2 / m(shrew)       .........make r^2 the subject of the equation

r^2=(5*10^{3} *(6400000)^{2} )/.05

r^2=40960000000000

r=2023857702.507m
