In a game of egg-toss, you and a partner are throwing an egg back and forth trying not to break it. Given your knowledge of mome

ntum, what hint could you give to your partner to keep the force of impact on the egg as low as possible? Clearly explain your answer.

F=dP/dt.  So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force.  So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop.  If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Levart [38]

A thrust fault is a reverse fault with an extremely high dip (close to 90°). This is the false statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faults are the fracture or fracture zone occurring on the rocks. These fractures can travel through the rocks leading to massive destruction. So, depending upon the direction of their travel, the faults can be classified as normal, reverse and strike slip fault. Also, the angle of dip along the fault is one of the important criteria for determining the type of faults.

There is dip-slip fault which has its movement along the vertical fault plane while the strike slip fault will be in horizontal direction. Similarly, an oblique fault will be acting in both vertical and the horizontal direction. So, the fourth statement related to thrust fault is false as in reverse fault or thrust fault the dip will be shallow and not high.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

rod end A is strongly attracted towards the balls

rod end B is weakly repelled by the ball as it is at a greater distance

Explanation:

When the ball with a negative charge approaches the A end of the neutral bar, the charge of the same sign will repel and as they move they move to the left end, leaving the rod with a positive charge at the A end and a negative charge of equal value at end B.

Therefore rod end A is strongly attracted towards the balls and

rod end B is weakly repelled by the ball as it is at a greater distance

A single crystal of aluminum is oriented for a tensile test such that its slip plane normal makes angle of 28.1 with the tensil
NISA [10]

Answer:

we have to find out the critical resolved shear stress. As it it given in the question

Ф = 28.1°and the possible values for λ are 62.4°, 72.0° and 81.1°.

a) Slip will occur in the direction where cosФ cosλ are maximum. Cosine for all possible λ values are given as follows.

cos(62.4°) = 0.46

cos(72.0°) = 0.31

cos(81.1°) = 0.15

Thus, the slip direction is at the angle of 62.4° along the tensile axis.

b) now the critical resolved shear stress can be find out by the following equation.

τ_{crss} = σ_{Y} ( cosФ cosλ)_{max}

now by putting values,

     = (1.95MPa)[ cos(28.1) cos(62.4)] = 0.80 MPa (114 Psi) 7.23

Consider a loop of wire placed in a uniform magnetic field. Which factors affect the magnetic flux Φm through the loop?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

* The value of the magnetic field changes either in time or space

* The waxed area changes, the bow is fitting in size

* The angle between the field and the area changes

Explanation:

Magnetic flux is the scalar product of the magnetic field over the area

               Ф = ∫ B. dA

where B is the magnetic field and A is the area

Let's look at stationary, for which factors affect flow

* The value of the magnetic field changes either in time or space

* The waxed area changes, the bow is fitting in size

* The angle between the field and the area changes
