A cannon and a supply of cannonballs are in a sealed system railroad car. The car has a length of 20 meters, and a mass of 2000kg. The cannon fires to the right, the car recoils to the left. Fired cannonballs remain in the car after hitting the wall and land on the floor at the end of the car. The cannonballs have a mass of 15 kg each, and there are ten of them. (neglect mass of cannon) How far will the car move after all ten have been fired

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance the car moves after all ten cannonballs have been fired is 1.5 meters  

Explanation:

The parameters given in the question are;

The length of the car = 20 meters

The mass of the of the cannon ball, m₁ = 2,000 kg

The direction the cannon fires = The right

The direction the car recoils = The left

The mass of each cannonball, m₂ = 15 kg

The number of cannonballs = 10

Let v₁ represent the speed of the car and let v₂ represent the speed of the cannonball, where momentum is conserved, we have;

m₁·v₁ = m₂·v₂

2000 × v₁ = 15 × v₂

400·v₁ = 3·v₂

Therefore, when the cannon ball travels 400 meters, the railroad car travels 3 meters

Similarly, when the cannon ball travels 400/20 = 20 meters, the distance the railroad car travels, d = 3/20 meters

We not that the railroad car and the car are brought to a stop each time the cannonball hits the watt

Therefore, the total distance moved by the car after all ten have been fired, [tex]d_{total}[/tex], is given as follows;

[tex]d_{total}[/tex] = d × The number of balls fired

∴ [tex]d_{total}[/tex] = 3/20 meters per ball × 10 balls = 3/2 meters = 1.5 meters

The total distance moved by the car, [tex]d_{total}[/tex] = How far the car moves after all ten have been fired = 1.5 meters.

Dr. Kirwan is preparing a slide show that he will present to the executive board at tonight's committee meeting. He places a 3.50-cm slide behind a lens of 20.0 cm focal length in the slide projector. A) How far from the lens should the slide be placed in order to shine on a screen 6.00 m away? B) How wide must the screen be to accommodate the projected image?​

Answers

Answer:

A) d_o = 20.7 cm

B) h_i = 1.014 m

Explanation:

A) To solve this, we will use the lens equation formula;

1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i

Where;

f is focal Length = 20 cm = 0.2

d_o is object distance

d_i is image distance = 6m

1/0.2 = 1/d_o + 1/6

1/d_o = 1/0.2 - 1/6

1/d_o = 4.8333

d_o = 1/4.8333

d_o = 0.207 m

d_o = 20.7 cm

B) to solve this, we will use the magnification equation;

M = h_i/h_o = d_i/d_o

Where;

h_o = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

d_i = 6 m

d_o = 20.7 cm = 0.207 m

Thus;

h_i = (6/0.207) × 0.035

h_i = 1.014 m

An ecosystem is a group of organisms and the habitat in which they live together. All organisms in an ecosystem interact with each other and their environment.

Some organisms interact as part of a food chain or food web. A food web is a complicated set of interrelated food chains all found in one ecosystem. Matter and energy are transferred from one organism to another at each step. They go through the producers like plants, which make their own food, consumers like animals, which eat other living things, and decomposers like bacteria, which break down dead organisms and help cycle energy and nutrients back into the environment.

For example, in the hot African Savannah, a herd of antelope gets energy from the grass they eat. A pride of lions chases down and consumes an antelope, gaining energy from the flesh of their prey. One of the lions is very old, and soon dies. Scavengers gain energy as they pick over his dead body. This is just one example of a string of events that is the food chain.

In the food chain described above, what are the producers?


a. the antelope that eat the grass

b. the scavengers that eat the dead lion

c. the grasses the antelope eat

d. the lions that eat the antelope

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

producers must be a green plant

Answer: C

Explanation:

Producers, also known as autotrophs, make their own food. They make up the first level of every food chain. Autotrophs are usually plants or one-celled organisms. Nearly all autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to create “food” (a nutrient called glucose) from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

a uniform metre scale rests horizontally on a knife edge at the 60cm mark when a mass of 10 gram is suspended from one end . at which end this mass be suspended . what is the mass of meter scale?

Answers

Answer:

40 gram or 0.04 kilogram

Explanation:

From the diagram attached,

The mass must be suspended at end B.

Applying the principle of moment,

Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anti-clockwise moment.

From the diagram,

Taking the moment about the pivot,

X(60-50) = 0.1(100-60)

Where X = weigth of the meter rule

10X = 4

X = 4/10

X = 0.4 N

X = 0.4/10

X = 0.04 kg

X = 40 g

Hence the mass of the meter rule = 0.04 kg or 40 gram

A car has wheels of radius of 0.380 m and they rotate once every 0.100 s. What is the linear velocity of the wheels? (Units = m/s)

Answers

Answer:

v = 23.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of wheels, r = 0.380 m

The wheels rotate once every 0.1 s

We need to find the linear velocity of the wheels. The linear velocity of a wheel is given by :

[tex]v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}\\\\=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.38}{0.1}\\\\=23.87\ m/s[/tex]

So, the required linear velocity of the wheel is equal to 23.87 m/s.

What is vitreous humor?

The vitreous body (vitreous meaning "glass-like"; from Latin vitreus 'glassy', from vitrum 'glass', and -eus) is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball (the vitreous chamber) in humans and other vertebrates. It is often referred to as the vitreous humor (also spelled humour, from Latin meaning liquid) or simply "the vitreous". Vitreous fluid or "liquid vitreous" is the liquid component of the vitreous gel, found after a vitreous detachment. It is not to be confused with the aqueous humor, the other fluid in the eye that is found between the cornea and lens.

Structure

The vitreous humor is a transparent, colorless, gelatinous mass that fills the space in the eye between the lens and the retina. It is surrounded by a layer of collagen called the vitreous membrane (or hyaloid membrane or vitreous cortex) separating it from the rest of the eye. It makes up four-fifths of the volume of the eyeball.The vitreous humour is fluid-like near the centre, and gel-like near the edges.

A proton is 0.9 meters away from a 1.4 C charge. What is the magnitude of the electric force between the proton and the charge

Answers

Answer:

F = 2.49 x 10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

[tex]F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\[/tex]

where,

F = Electrostatic Force = ?

k = colomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = charge on proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

q₂ = second charge = 1.4 C

r = distace between charges = 0.9 m

Therefore,

[tex]F = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ N.m^2/C^2)(1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(1.4\ C)}{(0.9\ m)^2}[/tex]

F = 2.49 x 10⁻⁹ N

We know that

Work done = Fs cosθ

But before that we need to determine the force i.e.  

We know that

Force (F) = mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

= 100 × 5

= 500 N

Now,  work done by the go-cart is  

Work done (W) = Fs cosθ

= 500 × 25 × cos(0°)
