Sara and Saba are identical twins who are the same in every way, including their weights. One day, Sara and Saba decided to go f

or a walk in the snow. They got dressed, and then Saba put on her favorite red heels. Meanwhile, Sara, who had always been more practical, put on her snowshoes.
As soon as they stepped out onto the snow, Saba's heels sank right through while Sara had no trouble walking on top of the snow in her snowshoes!

Q1: Why do you think this happened? If Sara and Saba weigh the same and are exactly of the same size, why did Saba fall through the snow while Sara did not?

Q2: Calculate pressure under Sara’s snowshoes.

Q3: How is pressure useful in everyday life? Give an example.

Q4: State the factors affecting pressure.

Q5: How do snowshoes help a person to walk easily on soft snow?

As Saba was wearing high heels they are long from the bottom so they sank however Sana was wearing snow boots which means they were flat and so she didn’t sink.

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k
rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

A tin can whirled on the end of a string moves in a circle because
Ilya [14]

Answer:

There is an inward force acting on the can

Explanation:

This inward force is known as Centripetal force and it is responsible for making the can whirl on the end of a string in circle and it is also directed towards the center around which the can is moving.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 25.1 Power and Energy in Circuits. A device for heating a cup of water in a car connects to
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The time to boil the water is 877 s

Explanation:

The first thing we must do is calculate the external resistance (R) of the circuit, from the description we notice that it is a series circuit, by which the resistors are added

    V = i (r + R)

We replace we calculate

     r + R = V / i

     R = v / i - r

     R = 10/12 -0.04

     R = 0.793 Ω

We calculate the power supplied

     P = V i = I² R

     P = 12² 0.793

     P = 114 W

This is the power dissipated in the external resistance

We use the relationship, that power is work per unit of time and that work is the variation of energy

     P = E / t

     t = E / P

     t = 100 10³/114

     t = 877 s

The time to boil the water is 877 s

A block spring system oscillates on a frictionless surface with an amplitude of 10\text{ cm}10 cm and has an energy of 2.5 \text
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The energy of the system is 15 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy E = 2.5 J

Amplitude = 10 cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of mechanical energy of the system

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Put the value into the formula

2.5=\dfrac{1}{2}k\times(10\times10^{-2})^2

k=\dfrac{2.5\times2}{(10\times10^{-2})^2}

k=500\ N/m

If the block is replaced by a block with twice the mass of the original block

Amplitude = 6 cm

We need to calculate the energy

Using formula of mechanical energy

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times500\times(6\times10^{-2})

E=15\ J

Hence, The energy of the system is 15 J.
