For the first 10 seconds a squirrel runs 3 m/s to look for an acorn. The next 5 seconds he eats an acorn that he finds. Afterwar

ds the squirrel runs 2 m/s back to where he started. (A) How long does it take for the squirrel to get back to where he started?

Distance covered by the squirrel to look for an acorn :

d = ( 3 m/s ) × 10 s = 30 m.

Time taken to eat an Acron is 5 seconds.

Time taken to cover distance of 30 m with 2 m/s speed is :

T=\dfrac{30}{2}\ s= 15 \ s

Therefore, total time take to  get back to where he started is ( 10+5+15 ) = 30 s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A basketball with mass of 0.8 kg is moving to the right with velocity 6 m/s and hits a volleyball with mass of 0.6 kg that stays
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

26.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial sum of momentum equals the final sum.

p=mv where p is momentum, m is the mass of object and v is the speed of the object

Initial momentum

The initial momentum will be that of basketball and volleyball, Since basketball is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

p_i= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*6+0.6*0=48 Kg.m/s

Final momentum

p_f= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*4+0.6*v_v=32+0.6v Kg.m/s\\32+0.6v_v=48\\0.6v=16\\v_v=16/0.6=26.66666667\approx 26.67 m/s

A bar magnet is dropped from above and falls through the loop of wire. The north pole of the bar magnet points downward towards
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

<em>b. The current in the loop always flows in a counterclockwise direction.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

When a magnet falls through a loop of wire, it induces an induced current on the loop of wire. This induced current is due to the motion of the magnet through the loop, which cause a change in the flux linkage of the magnet. According to Lenz law, the induced current acts in such a way as to repel the force or action that produces it. For this magnet, the only opposition possible is to stop its fall by inducing a like pole on the wire loop to repel its motion down. An induced current that flows counterclockwise in the wire loop has a polarity that is equivalent to a north pole on a magnet, and this will try to repel the motion of the magnet through the coil. Also, when the magnet goes pass the wire loop, this induced north pole will try to attract the south end of the magnet, all in a bid to stop its motion downwards.

A frog leaps up from the ground and lands on a step 0.1 m above the ground 2 s later. We want to find the
mash [69]

Answer:

\Delta x = v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the following suvat equation:

\Delta x = v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

\Delta x is the vertical displacement of the frog

v_0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

We have chosen this formula because apart from v_0, all the other quantities are known. In fact:

\Delta x =0.1 m is the vertical displacement

t = 2 s is the total time of flight

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (negative because it is downward)

Therefore, solving for v_0, we find the initial velocity of the frog:

v_0 = \frac{\Delta x-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}=\frac{0.1-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(2)^2}{2}=9.85 m/s
