Explanation:
Four passengers with combined mass 250 kg compress the springs of a car with worn out shock absorbers by 4.00cm when they enter it. Model the care and passengers as a single body on a single ideal spring. If the loaded has a period of vibration of 1.08 s, what is the period of vibration of the empty car?
Answer:
The time period of the empty car will be "1.00 s".
Explanation:
The given values in the question will be:
Mass,
m = 250 kg
Loaded car's time period will be:
T = 1.08 s
Shock absorbers compression,
x = 4 cm
or,
= 0.04 m
Now,
Weight of passengers will be:
⇒ [tex]F=mg[/tex]
[tex]=250\times 9.8[/tex]
[tex]=2450 \ N[/tex]
The spring constant of shock absorbers will be:
⇒ [tex]k=\frac{F}{x}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2450}{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]=61.250 \ N/m[/tex]
As we know,
Time period, [tex]T = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
[tex]1.08=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{61250} }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{M}{61250}=0.02955[/tex]
[tex]M=0.02955\times 61250[/tex]
[tex]=1809.6 \ kg[/tex] (Total mass of car as well as its passengers)
Now,
The mass of the empty car will be:
⇒ [tex]m'=M-m[/tex]
[tex]=1809.6-250[/tex]
[tex]=1559.6 \ kg[/tex]
hence,
The time period of empty car will be:
⇒ [tex]T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m'}{k} }[/tex]
[tex]=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{1559.6}{61250} }[/tex]
[tex]=2\pi \sqrt{0.0254}[/tex]
[tex]=1.003 \ s[/tex]
or,
[tex]=1.00 \ s[/tex]

Two students are balancing on a 10m seesaw. The seesaw is designed so that each side of the seesaw is 5m long. The student on the left weighs 60kg and is sitting three meters away from the fulcrum at the center. The student on the right weighs 45kg. The seesaw is parallel to the ground. The mass of the board is evenly distributed so that its center of mass is over the fulcrum. What distance from the center should the student on the right be if they want the seesaw to stay parallel to the ground?
a. 4m
b. 5m
c. 2m
d. 3m
Answer:
We can say that when we multiply both the force given by the two body and along with the distinct lengths they are situated from centre of mass (fulcrum) will be the same
So the let the distance seperated from the centre of mass on the right side where the boy sits be x
so 60×3 = 45x
=> x = (180/45)
=> x = 4 metres

The block slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block has a mass of 1.0kg and is pushed 5.0N at 45°. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block?
Answer:
[tex]3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd law is given as [tex]\Sigma F = ma[/tex].
To find the acceleration in the horizontal direction, you need the horizontal component of the force being applied.
Using trigonometry to find the horizontal component of the force:
[tex]\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{x}{5},\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{{2}}=\frac{x}{5},\\x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]
Use this horizontal component of the force to solve for for the acceleration of the object:
[tex]\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}=1.0\cdot a,\\a=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\approx \boxed{3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}[/tex]
A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of a gazelle assumes an acceleration of 4.2m/s2 for 6.5s , after which the gazelle CONTINUES at a steady speed.
a. What is the gazelles top speed?
b. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The best time for a 30 m sprint for a human runner is 3.6 s. How much time would the gazelle take for a 30 m race?
Answer:
The correct answer will be:
(a) 27.3 m/s
(b) 3.8 s
Explanation:
According to the question:
Acceleration,
[tex]a= 4.2 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Time,
[tex]t = 6.5 \ s[/tex]
(a)
The gazelles top speed will be:
⇒ [tex]V_{max} = at[/tex]
[tex]=4.2\times 6.5[/tex]
[tex]=27.3 \ m/s[/tex]
or,
[tex]= 27 \ m/s[/tex]
(b)
As we know,
s = 30 m
Now,
⇒ [tex]s = \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]
or,
⇒ [tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }[/tex]
On putting the given values, we get
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 30}{4.2} }[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{60}{4.2} }[/tex]
[tex]=3.78 \ s[/tex]
or,
[tex]=3.8 \ s[/tex]
what is the acceleration of each body of mass 5kg rests on a frictionless table and is connected to a cable that passes over a pulley onto a hanging body of mass 10kg
Answer:
6.53 m/s²
Explanation:
Let m₁ = 5 kg and m₂ = 10 kg. The figure is attached and free body diagrams of the objects are also attached.
Both objects (m₁ and m₂) have the same magnitude of acceleration(a). Let g be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². Hence:
T = m₁a (1)
m₂g - T = m₂a (2)
substituting T = m₁a in equation 2:
m₂g - m₁a = m₂a
m₂a + m₁a = m₂g
a(m₁ + m₂) = m₂g
a = m₂g / (m₁ + m₂)
a = (10 kg * 9.8 m/s²) / (10 kg + 5 kg) = 6.53 m/s²
Both objects have an acceleration of 6.53 m/s²
To measure the heat capacity of an object, all you usually have to do is put it in thermal contact with another object whose heat capacity you know. As an example, suppose that a chunk of metal is immersed in boiling water (100°C), then is quickly transferred into a Styrofoam cup containing 250 g of water at 20°C. After a minute or so, the temperature of the contents of the cup is 24°C. Assume that during this time no significant energy is transferred between the contents of the cup and the surroundings. The heat capacity of the cup itself is negligible.
What is the heat capacity of this chunk of metal?
Answer:
The answer is "[tex]55.05 \ \frac{J}{K}[/tex]"
Explanation:
Given value:
[tex]Q_m=4.184 \times 10^3 \ J\\T_0=100^{\circ}\\T_1=24^{\circ}[/tex]
Calculating the heat capacity of this chunk of metal:
Using formula:
[tex]C_m=\frac{Q_m}{T_0-T_1}\\[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4.184 \times 10^3}{100 -24}\\\\=\frac{4.184 \times 10^3}{76}\\\\=55.05 \ \frac{J}{K}[/tex]

Explanation:
Efficiency of a machine is lesser than 100% , Why?
Answer:
Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work). The output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction. Therefore, efficiency is always less than 100 percent.

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. The half-life of the radioactive nucleus _(88)^(226)text(Ra) is 1.6 103 yr. If a sample initially contains 4.00 1016 such nuclei, determine the following:________.
(a) the initial activity in curies µCi
(b) the number of radium nuclei remaining after 4.4 103 yr nuclei
(c) the activity at this later time µCi
Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given:
The half-life [tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = 1.6103 years
The no. of the initial nuclei [tex]N_o[/tex] = [tex]4.00 \times 10^6[/tex]
Using the formula:
[tex]N = N_o exp(-\lambda t)[/tex]
where;
decay constant [tex]\lambda = \dfrac{In2}{1.6*10^3} y^{-1}[/tex]
∴
[tex]N = N_o exp ( \dfrac{-In2}{1.6*10^3}\times 4.4 \times 10^3)[/tex]
[tex]N = N_o exp (- 1.906154747)[/tex]
The number of radium nuclei N = 5.94 × 10¹⁵
The initial activity[tex]A_o = \lambda N_o[/tex]
[tex]A_o =(\dfrac{In (2)}{1.61\times 10^3 \times 365 \times 24 \times 3600}\times 4.00 \times 10^{16})[/tex]
[tex]A_o =546075.8487 \ Bq[/tex]
Since;
1 curie = 3.7 × 10¹⁰ Bq
Then;
[tex]A_o =\dfrac{546075.8487 }{3.7\times 10^{10}}[/tex]
[tex]A_o = 1.47588 \times 10^{-5}Ci[/tex]
[tex]A_o = 14.7588 \ \mu Ci[/tex]
c) The activity at a later time is:
[tex]=5.94 \times 10^{15}( \dfrac{In (2)}{1.60 \times 10^3 \times 365\times 24 \times 3600})[/tex]
[tex]= 81599.09018 \ Bq \\ \\ = \dfrac{81599.09018}{3.7\times 10^{10}} \ Ci \\ \\ = 2.20538 \times 10^6 \ Ci \\ \\ = 2.20538 \ \mu Ci[/tex]
3. The load across a 12-V battery consists of a series combination
of three resistors that have a resistance of 15 12,21 12, and 24 12,
respectively. What is the current in this circuit? (5F)
a. 0.2 A
b. 2.0 A
C. 0.19 A
d. 1.9 A
Answer:
a. 0.2 A
Explanation:
Given;
voltage of the battery, V = 12 V
three resistance connected in series, R₁ = 15 Ω, R₂ = 21 Ω, R₃ = 24Ω
The equivalent resistance for series connection is calculated as;
Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
Rt = 15Ω + 21Ω + 24Ω
Rt = 60 Ω
Apply Ohm's law to calculate the current n the circuit;
V = IRt
I = V/Rt
I = 12/60
I = 0.2 A
Therefore, the current in the circuit is 0.2 A

At a playground a student runs at a speed of 5 m/s and jump onto a circular disk of radius 3/2 m that is free to rotate around a fixed vertical axle. The student jumps on the disk several times, and the angular speed after the student lands is measured each time. Which of the following angular speeds is not a reasonable value for the measured angular speed?
a. 0.5 rad/s
b. 1 rad/s
c. 2 rad/s
d. 3 rad/s
e. 4 rad/s
Answer:
e. 4 rad/s
Explanation:
The maximum amount of angular velocity that can be reached by the disk can be found using the following formula:
[tex]v = r\omega\\\\\omega = \frac{v}{r}[/tex]
where,
ω = maximum angular velocity = ?
v = linear speed = 5 m/s
r = radius of disc = 1.5 m
Therefore,
[tex]\omega = \frac{5\ m/s}{1.5\ m} \\\\\omega = 3.33\ rad/s[/tex]
Therefore, the angular speed can be lower than this value due to frictional losses, but it can not exceed this value in the given linear speed limit of 5 m/s.
Hence, the correct option is:
e. 4 rad/s

A thin film of acetone (n=1.25) lies on the surface of a thick piece of water (n=1.30). White light shines down from air onto the thin layer of acetone. Destructive interference occurs for m=3 for a wavelength in air of 600 nm. What is the thickness of the thin film?
Answer:
Explanation:
The wave of light is being reflected two times while going from lower to higher refractive index mediums
So there will be phase reversal two times .
Condition of destructive index
2 μ t = ( 2m+1) λ / 2
Substituting the values
2 x 1.25 x t = ( 2 x 3 + 1 ) x 600nm / 2
2.5 t = 2100 nm
t = 840 nm .

(1) Viewers of Star Trek hear of an antimatter drive on the Starship Enterprise. One possibility for such a futuristic energy source is to store antimatter charged particles in a vacuum chamber, circulating in a magnetic field, and then extract them as needed. Antimatter annihilates with normal matter, producing pure energy. What strength magnetic field is needed to hold antiprotons, moving at 5.0 x 10^7 m/s in a circular path 2.00 m in radius? Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but the opposite (negative) charge.
(2) Is this field strength obtainable with today’s technology or is it a futuristic possibility?
Solution :
The relationship between the strength of magnetic field and the radiusof a charged particle's path is obtained through Newton's second law, which is given by :
F = ma
F = qvB and [tex]$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$[/tex]
Substituting these values in the second law of Newton,
[tex]$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}$[/tex]
Now solving for B, we get:
[tex]$B = \frac{mv}{rq}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{(1.67 \times 10^{-27})(5 \times 10^{7})}{2\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$[/tex]
= 0.261 T
The field strength can be obtained by using the technology of today.

b.earth to rotate on its axis one time
c. The sun to circle earth one time
d.the sun to rotate on its axis one time
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds with respect to other, distant, stars. Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
Answer: the answer is b.
ps: the other answer is wrong, the earth rotates around the sun, and the sun doesn't rotate around the earth.

Explain the difference between the speed of an Electromagnetic wave and its frequency?
Answer:
Electromagnetic waves differ in their wavelengths and frequencies. The higher the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, the greater its energy. The speed of an electromagnetic wave is the product of its wavelength and frequency, so a wave with a shorter wavelength has a higher frequency, and vice versa.

what are the advantages of having a roof with a lower thermal conductivity?
Which of the following two is correct
Less energy is needed to heat the house
The roof is a better insulator
The roof is less likely to leak
The rate of energy transfer by conduction is greater
Weather will have a greater effect on the temperature of the house
Answer:
less energy is needed to heat the house
the roof is a better insulator
The correct advantage of having a roof with a lower thermal conductivity is Less energy is needed to heat the house. The correct answer is option 1.
A roof with lower thermal conductivity acts as a better insulator, reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the house. This means that during colder months, less heat escapes through the roof, requiring less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Additionally, a roof with lower thermal conductivity will help regulate indoor temperatures more effectively, making it a better insulator against external weather conditions. It does not directly affect the likelihood of roof leaks or increase the rate of energy transfer by conduction. Option 1 is correct.
