As you get ready for bed, you roll up one of your socks into a tight ball and toss it into the laundry basket across the room. T

hen, you try to toss the other sock without rolling it up.. What effects whether or not your socks land in the basket?

Answer:

<em>The drag (air resistance) it experiences along its flight to the basket, due to the shape and surface area of the socks, the size of the sock (weight), and the speed with which the socks is tossed.</em>

Explanation:

The socks, like every other particle or body travelling through air is met by a resistance that impedes its motion. <em>This resistance is due to the air molecules around, that collide with the body as it travels through them</em>. The resistance offered by this force is proportional to the surface area of the body that collides with the air molecule, so, <em>rolling the socks into a ball reduces the effect of air resistance on the socks, compared to the one tossed without rolling</em>. Air resistance is also <em>largely dependent on the relative motion of the body and the air molecules, the density of the fluid (air), and the size of the body (weight).</em>

Therefore, whether the socks lands in the basket or not is <em>affected by the drag (air resistance) it experiences along its flight to the basket, due to the shape and surface area of the socks, size of the socks (weight), and the speed with which the socks is tossed.</em>

Pions have a half-life of 1.8 x 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves an accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance ove
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × 10^{-8} s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × 10^{8} m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed   .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × 10^{-8} ×  0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m

Ugo [173]

Answer:

a. 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b. 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c. 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d. 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²

Explanation:

Given:

a.

I = 2500 W / m² , us = 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s

P rad = I / us

P rad  = 2500 W / m² / 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b.

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa *[  9.8 x 10 ⁻⁶ atm / 1 Pa ]

P rad = 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c.

P rad = 2 * I / us = ( 2 * 2500 w / m²) / [ 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s ]

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa

P₁ = 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa / 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm = 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d.

P rad  = I / us

ΔP / Δt = I / C² = [ 2500 w / m² ] / ( 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s)²

ΔP / Δt = 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²

A 0.200 kg plastic ball moves with a velocity of 0.30 m/s. It collides with a second plastic ball of mass 0.100 kg, which is mov
zzz [600]

Answer:

0.22m/s

Explanation:

The total momentum of the System is conserved. Total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the system after collision. The total momentum is the sum of individual momentum of all the objects in that system.

momentum of an object = mass* velocity

Total Momentum before collision = 0.2*0.3 + 0.1*0.1= 0.07 kg⋅m/s;

Total momentum after collision = 0.1*0.26 + 0.2*x = 0.07;

Solve for x.

un tanque de gasolina de 40 litros fue llenado por la noche, cuando la temperatura era de 68 grados farenheit. Al dia siguiente
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Volume of gasoline that expands and spills out is 1.33 ltr

Explanation:

As we know that when temperature of the liquid is increased then its volume will expand and it is given as

\Delta V = V_o\gamma \Delta T

here we know that

V_o = 40 Ltr

volume expansion coefficient of the gasoline is given as

\gamma = 950 × 10^{–6}

change in temperature is given as

\Delta T = (131 - 68) \times \frac{5}{9}

\Delta T = 35 ^oC

Now we have

\Delta V = 40(950 \times 10^{-6})(35)

\Delta V = 1.33 Ltr
