You hold a slingshot at arm's length, pull the light elastic band back to your chin, and release it to launch a pebble horizontally with speed 150 cm/s. with the same procedure, you fire a bean with speed 1050 cm/s. what is the ratio of the mass of the bean to the mass of the pebble?

Answer from: jorgereyes01

$\frac{m_2}{m_1} = 0.020$

Explanation:

As we know that in this sling shot the kinetic energy given to the mass is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in it

now we shot two object in same sling shot so here the kinetic energy must be same in two objects

$\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

now we have

m_1 = mass of pebble

m_2 = mass of bean

v_1 = 150 cm/s

v_2 = 1050 cm/s

now we have

$\frac{m_2}{m_1} = \frac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

$\frac{m_2}{m_1} = \frac{150^2}{1050^2}$

$\frac{m_2}{m_1} = 0.020$

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

The period of a pendulum varies directly as the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. find the period when the length is 144 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared, if the period is 7pi seconds when the length is 289 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared.
