A ball of mass 0.4 kg is initially at rest on the ground. It is kicked and leaves the kicker's foot with a speed of 5.0 m/s in a
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

the answer the correct  is 3

Explanation:

Let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

         I = Δp

         I = m v_{f} - m v₀

     

Let's calculate

         I = 0.4 5.0 - 0

         I = 2.0 N s

By Newton's law of action and reaction the force on the ball is equal to the force that the ball exerts on the foot, therefore the impulse on the foot of equal magnitude, but in the opposite direction

        I = 2.0 Ns with 60°

When reviewing the answer the correct  is 3

A person in a boat sees a fish in the water (n = 1.33, the light rays making an angle of 40? relative to the water's surface. wh
jek_recluse [69]
We know that the measure of an incident ray is:  α 1 = 40°.
The index of refraction:
- for the air : n 1 = 1.00,
- for the water: n 2 = 1.33
Snell`s Law of Refraction :
n 1 · sin α 1 = n 2 · sin α 2
sin α 2 = n 1 · sin α 1 / n 2 =
= 1.00 · sin 40° / 1.33 = 0.64278 / 1.33 = 0.4833
α 2 = sin ^(-1) 0.4833
α 2 = 28.9 °
Answer: The angle relative to the water`s surface of the rays when beneath the surface is 28.9°.

Sally finds herself stranded on a frozen pond so slippery that she can't stand up or walk on it. To save herself, she throws one
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a) 2.5 m/s. (In the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) It'll take Sally 12 s to reach the shore which is 30 m from her starting point.

Explanation:

Linear momentum is conserved.

(mass of boot) × (velocity of boot) + (mass of sally) × (velocity of Sally) = 0

5×30 + 60 × v = 0

v = (-150/60) = -2.5 m/s. (Minus inicates that motion is in the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) At time t = 10 s,

Sally has travelled 25 m and the boot has travelled 300 m.

Taking the starting point for both bodies as the origin, and Sally's direction as the positive direction.

Centre of mass = [(60)(25) + (5)(-300)]/(60+5)

= 0 m.

The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) The shore is 30 m away.

Speed = (Distance)/(time)

Time = (Distance)/(speed) = (30/2.5)

Time = 12 s

Hope this Helps!!!

If you touch the two terminals of a power supply with your two fingertips on opposite hands, the potential difference will produ
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.

Explanation:

Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.

Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.

Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:

I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3

I= 0.24 mA

Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.

Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:

I = 120 / 1000

I = 12 mA

The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.

Bumek [7]
<span>The key equation is going to come from Mr Planck: E=h \nu

Where h is Plancks constant; and ν is the frequency. This equation gives you the energy per photon at a given frequency. Alas, you're given wavelength, but that's easy enough to convert to frequency given the following equation:

c= lambda / nu

where c is the speed of light; λ (lambda) is the wavelength; and ν is again frequency. As soon as you know the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 550nm, you should know how many photons you would require to accumulate 10^-18J. Be careful with your units.</span>
