Asha and Samuel have bookshelves of the same size partly filled with books. Asha’s shelf is `5/6` th full and Samuel’s shelf is `2/5`th full. Whose bookshelf is more full? By what fraction?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whose bookshelf is more full and by what fraction, we need to compare the fractions representing the fullness of Asha's and Samuel's bookshelves. ### Step 1: Identify the fractions Asha's bookshelf is \( \frac{5}{6} \) full, and Samuel's bookshelf is \( \frac{2}{5} \) full. ### Step 2: Find a common denominator To compare these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The denominators are 6 and 5. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 5 is 30. ...

In the figure above, a rectangular container with the dimensions 10 inches by 15 inches by 20 inches is to be filled with water, using a cylindrical cup whose radius is 2 inches and whose height is 5 inches. What is the maximum number of full cups of water that can be placed into the container without the water overflowing the container?

A thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizonta surface and is free to move in any way on th surface. Its mass is 0.16 kg and length sqrt3 meters. Two particless, each of mass 0.08 kg, are moving on the same surface and towards the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar, one with a velocity of 10 m/s, and other with 6m/s as shown in fig. The first particle strikes the bar at point A and the other at point B. Points A and B are at a distane of 0.5m from the centre of the bar. The particles strike the bar at the same instant of time and stick to the bar on collision. Calculate the loss of the kinetic energy of the system in the above collision process.

A glass full of water is placed on a weighing scale, which reds 10 N, A coin with weight 1 N is gently released into the water. At finrst the coin accelerates as it falls and about halfway down the glass, the coin reaches terminal velocity eventually the coin rests on te bottom of the glass, accelerationdue to gravity is 10m//s^(2) . The scale roads (a). 10.5N when the coin accelerates at 5m//s^(2)) (b). 11.5 N when the coin decelerates at 5m//s^(2) (c). 11N, when the coin moves with terminal velocity (d). 11N when the coin rests on the bottom.

A horizontal cylinderical tank (6)/(pi)m in diameter is half full of water. The space above the water is filled with a pressurized gas of unknown refractive index. A small laser can move along the curved bottom of the water and aims a light beam towards the centre of the water surface. When the laser has moved a distance s=1m or more (measured from curved face) from the lowest point in water, no light enters the gas. The refractive index of gas is (mu_("water") = 4//3)

An elevator at rest which is at 10th floor of a building is having a plane mirror fixed to its floor. A particle is projected with a speed (sqrt(2))m//s and at 45^(@) with the horizontal as shown in the figure. At the very instant of projection, the cable of the elevator breaks and the elevator starts falling freely. what will be the separation between the particles and is image 0.5 s after the instant of projection?

The radius of a large hemisphere whose" axis of symmetry is vertical is R = 50 cm. A small sphere of radius r= 5cm rolls without slipping with a speed of 2cm/s. The mass of the sphere is 100 gm. If it start's at the top from rest (i) what is the kinetic energy at the bottom? (ii) What fraction is rotational ? (iii) What fraction is translational?

An observer observer a fish moving upwards in a cylindrical container of cross section area 1 m^(2) filled with water up to a height of 5 m . A hole is present at the botton of the container having cross section areea 1//1000 m^(2) . Find out the speed of the image of fish observed by observer when the botton hole is just opened. (Given: The fish is moving with the speed of 6 m//s towards the observer, mu of water =4//3 )
