Before starting this problem, review Conceptual Example 3 in your text. Suppose that the hail described there comes straight down at a mass rate of m/?t = 0.030 kg/s and an initial velocity of v0 = -15 m/s and strikes the roof perpendicularly. Suppose that the hail bounces off the roof of the car with a velocity of +15 m/s. Ignoring the weight of the hailstones, calculated the force exerted by the hail on the roof. __________N

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

0.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on an object is related to its change in momentum by:

F=(\Delta p)/(\Delta t)

where

F is the force exerted

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t is the time interval

The change in momentum can be rewritten as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m is the mass

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

So the formula can be rewritten as

F=(m(v-u))/(\Delta t)

In this problem we have:

(m)/(\Delta t)=0.030 kg/s is the mass rate

u=-15 m/s is the initial velocity

v=+15 m/s is the final velocity

Therefore, the force exerted by the hail on the roof is:

F=(0.030)(+15-(-15))=0.9 N

Sea-floor spreading

Magnetic reversal proves seafloor spreading because we can see the polarity of the Earth’s magnetic field in rocks. As magma cools, particles in it solidify in the direction of the magnetic field. By looking at these particles, scientists can see the polarity of the magnetic field at the time the rocks were created.

Answer:

c. sea-floor spreading.

John’s mass is 91.2 kg, and Barbara’s is 51.9 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +9.99 m, while she is standing on the x axis at xB = +3.27 m. They switch positions. How far and in which direction does their center of mass move as a result of the switch?

Answers

Answer:

the center of gravity moves by 1.9 m towards the origin

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

John's mass (Mj) = 91.2 kg

Barbara's mass (Mb) = 51.9 kg

John's location (Xj) = + 9.99 m

Barbara's location (Xb) = +3.27 m

center of mass (X) = ?

the center of mass is where the masses of John and Barbara is concentrated, and it is given by the formula below

X = ( ( Mj x Xj ) + ( Mb x Xb ) ) / (Mj + Mb)

X = ( ( 91.2 x 9.99 ) + ( 51.9 x 3.27 ) ) / ( 91.2 + 51.9 )

X =  7.6 m

now when they switch positions their locations now become

John's location (Xj) = + 3.27 m

Barbara's location (Xb) = +9.99 m

now putting their new locations into the formula

X = ( ( 91.2 x 3.27 ) + ( 51.9 x 9.99 ) ) / ( 91.2 + 51.9 )

X =  5.7 m

therefore the center of mass moves by

7.6 - 5.7 = 1.9 m

the center of gravity moves by 1.9 m towards the origin

A train travels with a constant speed of 36 miles per hour. How far can it travel in 1 hour 30 minutes?

Answers

Answer: 54 miles in 1hr 30min

Explanation:

The train travels at a constant speed of 36 miles per hour. To find out how far it can travel in 1 hour 30 minutes, we need to convert the time to hours.  Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes is equal to 1.5 hours (1 hour + 30 minutes/60 minutes).  To calculate the distance traveled, we multiply the speed of the train (36 miles per hour) by the time it travels (1.5 hours).  So, the train can travel 36 miles per hour * 1.5 hours = 54 miles in 1 hour 30 minutes.  Therefore, the train can travel a distance of 54 miles in 1 hour 30 minutes

The Greeks rejected the notion that the Earth orbits the Sun. Why? A.) They believed that the Sun is a God.B.) They weren't as smart as we are.
C.) They could not measure a change in stars' positions on the sky.
D.) They could not measure how big the Earth was.

Answers

B.) It ran contrary to their senses. Greeks knew that we should see stellar parallax if we orbited the Sun – but they could not detect it.

50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the building

Answers

Answer:

98.13m

Explanation:

Complete question

Daniel is 50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the building

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

From the figure, using trigonometry

Tan(θ ) = opposite/adjacent

Where Angle (θ )= 63°

Opposite= X = height of the building

Adjacent= 50 m

Then substitute the values we have

Tan(63)= X/50

1.9626= X/50

X= 1.9626 × 50

X= 98.13m

Hence, the height of the building is 98.13m

. Which of the following is not an ultimate goal of science?A. Understand patterns
B. Give explanations for natural events
C. Make predictions
D. Produce unchanging, absolute answers

Answers

What is not the ultimate goal of science is to produce unchanging and absolute answers - D. Scientists would like to, however, understand patterns, give explanations for natural events, and even make predictions. And it isn't really the case that they would like to produce unchanging answers.
