Students conduct an experiment to study the motion of two toy rockets. In the first experiment, rocket X of mass mR is launched vertically upward with an initial speed v0 at time t=0. The rocket continues upward until it reaches its maximum height at time t1. As the rocket travels upward, frictional forces are considered to be negligible. The rocket then descends vertically downward until it reaches the ground at time t2. The figure above shows the toy rocket at different times of its flight. In a second experiment, which has not yet been conducted by the students, rocket Y of mass MR, where MR>mR, will be launched vertically upward with an initial speed v0 at time t=0 until it reaches its maximum height. Rocket Y will then descend vertically downward until it reaches the ground.

Two students in the group make predictions about the motion of rocket Y compared to that of rocket X. Their arguments are as follows.

Student 1: “Rocket Y will have a smaller maximum vertical displacement than rocket X, although it is launched upward with the same speed as rocket X and has more kinetic energy than rocket X. Because rocket Y will have a smaller maximum vertical displacement than rocket X, I predict that it will take less time for rocket Y to reach the ground compared with rocket X.”

Student 2: “Rocket Y will have the same maximum vertical displacement as rocket X because both rockets have the same kinetic energy. Since both rockets will have the same maximum vertical displacement, I predict that it will take both rockets the same amount of time to reach the ground.”

Answer:

Please see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the student1, almost all the resaonings are incorrect. Because Y has more mass as compared to X, and both are having the same initial velocity. Therefore, Y will have more kinetic energy. And, therefore will cover higher height than X. So, will take more time to reach on the ground.

Options:
a. a lower frequency and a shorter wavelength.
b. a higher frequency and a longer wavelength.
c. a lower frequency and a longer wavelength.
d. a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength

Answer:
d. a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength

Explanation:
The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength. Light waves have very, very short wavelengths.
For example, Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies. Radio waves, on the other hand, have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation.

Answer:

see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the conservation of energy and conservation of momentum principles.

Conservation of energy:

The total initial energy is the rest energy of the proton and neutron, which is given by:

Ei = (mp + mn)c^2

where mp and mn are the masses of the proton and neutron, respectively, and c is the speed of light.

The total final energy is the rest energy of the deuteron plus the energy of the gamma ray, which is given by:

Ef = (md)c^2 + Eg

where md is the mass of the deuteron and Eg is the energy of the gamma ray.

According to the conservation of energy principle, the initial energy and final energy must be equal, so we have:

Ei = Ef

(mp + mn)c^2 = (md)c^2 + Eg

Conservation of momentum:

The total initial momentum is zero because the proton and neutron are at rest. The total final momentum is the momentum of the deuteron and the momentum of the gamma ray. Since the gamma ray is massless, its momentum is given by:

pg = Eg/c

where pg is the momentum of the gamma ray.

According to the conservation of momentum principle, the total final momentum must be equal to zero, so we have:

0 = pd + pg

where pd is the momentum of the deuteron.

Solving for md and pd:

From the conservation of energy equation, we can solve for md:

md = (mp + mn - Eg/c^2)/c^2

Substituting this expression into the conservation of momentum equation, we get:

pd = -pg = -Eg/c

Substituting the given values, we have:

mp = 1.6726 × 10^-27 kg mn = 1.6749 × 10^-27 kg Eg = 2.2 × 10^6 eV = 3.52 × 10^-13 J

Using c = 2.998 × 10^8 m/s, we get:

md = (1.6726 × 10^-27 kg + 1.6749 × 10^-27 kg - 3.52 × 10^-13 J/(2.998 × 10^8 m/s)^2)/(2.998 × 10^8 m/s)^2 = 3.3435 × 10^-27 kg

pd = -Eg/c = -(3.52 × 10^-13 J)/(2.998 × 10^8 m/s) = -1.1723 × 10^-21 kg·m/s

Therefore, the mass of the deuteron is 3.3435 × 10^-27 kg, and its momentum is -1.1723 × 10^-21 kg·m/s.

Answer:

9.6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by the tomatoes to each the ground

using h = 1/2 g t^2 

t^2 = 2h/g = 2 x 50/ 9.8 = 10.2

t = 3.2 sec 

horizontal ditance = speed x time = 3 x 3.2 = 9.6 meters

Answer:
7.25 secs.

Explanation:
First find the distance it takes to stop
s = [v^2-u^2]/2a = 0^2 - 8.7^2/2[-2.4] = 8.7^2/4.8
Next find the time it takes to go that distance , s = ut +[1/2] at^2
8.7^2/4.8 = 8.7t +[1/2] [ -2.4]t^2 , rearrange and
t^2 -[8.7/1.2]+ 8.7^2/[(1.2)(4.8)]=0 complete the square
[t - (8.7/2.4)]^2=0
t = 8.7/2.4 = 3.625 secs
At this stage the deceleration will push the object back in the direction it came from for another 3.625 secs when it will be 8.7 m/s again
Total time , T =2t = 7.25 secs.

Note:
The term differential is used in calculus to refer to an infinitesimal (infinitely small) change in some varying quantity. For example, if x is a variable, then a change in the value of x is often denoted Δx (pronounced delta x). The differential dx represents an infinitely small change in the variable x.

First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma
Force = mass* acceleration
This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time,
force=(mass*velocity)/time
such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time
Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum
Momentum=mass*velocity
Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s
Momentum=6300*0.11
P=693 kg (m/s)
Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s
Momentum=50*10.4
P=520 kg (m/s)
The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.

The horizontal and vertical motions of balloons are independent from each other.
Let vertical component of initial velocity U' horizontal component of initial velocity U"
Time of landing (t) is found with the help of vertical motion.
Since vertical component of initial velocity of balloon is zero(U' = 0)
From equation h = U't + 1/2gt^2
h = 1/2gt^2
t = √(2h/g)
t = √( 2×150/9.8)
t = 5.53 sec
Horizontal velocity = 50m/s
Horizontal range of balloon, R = U"t
= 50× 5.53
= 27.65m
So the balloon will go 27.65 metre away from the bridge
