Discuss how the hardness or softness of the landing surface is related to the time required to stop the egg

Answer

To understand this concept it is necessary to understand Newton's Second Law

According to Newtons Second law applied force is equal to rate of change of momentum of a body.

Mathematically,

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

here, \frac{dp}{dt} is rate of change of momentum with respect to time

It means If two eggs fall from same height,one on softer surface and other on hard surface that time the momentum of both eggs will remain equal at both the surfaces. But, impact time will be different. On hard surface egg will stop almost instantly so impact time will be small and hence the force on egg will be large therefore the egg will breakup.

On the other hand on the soft surface like a cotton, egg will not stop instantly but it will slow down for a few seconds and then stop due to which the time of impact will increase. Therefore the force on egg will be less and it won't break up.

Every spring has an equilibrium position. Which statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position? Check all that
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The elastic potential energy is zero.

The net force acting on the spring is zero.

Explanation:

The equilibrium position of a spring is the position that the spring has when its neither compressed nor stretched - it is also called natural length of the spring.

Let's now analyze the different statements:

The spring constant is zero.  --> false. The spring constant is never zero.

The elastic potential energy is at a maximum  --> false. The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant and x the displacement. Therefore, the elastic potential energy is maximum when x, the displacement, is maximum.

The elastic potential energy is zero.  --> true. As we saw from the equation above, the elastic potential energy is zero when the displacement is zero (at the equilibrium position).

The displacement of the spring is at a maxi num  --> false, for what we said above

The net force acting on the spring is zero. --> true, as the spring is neither compressed nor stretched

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
jonny [76]

Answer:

<em>Entropy Change = 0.559 Times</em>

Explanation:

Entropy change is determined by the change in the micro-states of a system. As we know that the micro-states are the same as measure of disorderness between initial and final states, that's the the amount of change in micro-states determine how much of entropy has changed in the system.

A diver in the pike position (legs straight, hands on ankles) usually makes only one or one-and-a-half rotations. To make two or
Korolek [52]

Answer:

from the above analysis we can say that the angular velocity in the later case is more than that of the former case. This means that the number of rotation made in the truck case is more than that made in pike position.

Explanation:

This can be explained on the basis of conservation of angular momentum.

This means the initial and the final angular velocity is conserved. Consider initial position (1)in the pike and final position in the be truck position. So there inertia's will also be different.

⇒I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{\omega_2}{\omega_1}

also,

I_1= mr_1^2

I_2= mr_2^2

since, r_2^2

I_2^2

therefore,

\omega_1^2

So, from the above analysis we can say that the angular velocity in the later case is more than that of the former case. This means that the number of rotation made in the truck case is more than that made in pike position.

A soft drink (mostly water) flows in a pipe at a beverage plant with a mass flow rate that would fill 220 cans, 0.355 - l each,
Alona [7]
Flow rate = 220*0.355 l/m = 78.1 l/min = 1.3 l/s = 0.0013 m^3/s

Point 2:
A2= 8 cm^2 = 0.0008 m^2
V2 = Flow rate/A2 = 0.0013/0.0008 = 1.625 m/s
P1 = 152 kPa = 152000 Pa

Point 1:
A1 = 2 cm^2 = 0.0002 m^2
V1 = Flow rate/A1 = 0.0013/0.0002 = 6.5 m/s
P1 = ?
Height = 1.35 m

Applying Bernoulli principle;
P2+1/2*V2^2/density = P1+1/2*V1^2/density +density*gravitational acceleration*height
=>152000+0.5*1.625^2*1000=P1+0.5*6.5^2*1000+1000*9.81*1.35
=> 153320.31 = P1 + 34368.5
=> P1 = 1533210.31-34368.5 = 118951.81 Pa = 118.95 kPa
