A uniform disk of 10 kg and radius 4.0 m can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. The disk is rotating at an angular velocity of 15 rad/s when a 5-kg package is dropped vertically on a point that is 2.0 m from the center of the disk. What is the angular velocity of the disk/package system
Answer:
18.75 rad/s
Explanation:
Moment of inertia of the disk;
I_d = ½ × m_disk × r²
I_d = ½ × 10 × 4²
I_d = 80 kg.m²
I_package = m_pack × r²
Now,it's at 2m from the centre, thus;
I_package = 5 × 2²
I_package = 20 Kg.m²
From conservation of momentum;
(I_disk + I_package)ω1 = I_disk × ω2
Where ω1 = 15 rad/s and ω2 is the unknown angular velocity of the disk/package system.
Thus;
Plugging in the relevant values, we obtain;
(80 + 20)15 = 80 × ω2
1500 = 80ω2
ω2 = 1500/80
ω2 = 18.75 rad/s
Why can a magnetic monopole not exist, assuming Maxwell's Equations are currently correct and complete?
Answer:
Because closed magnetic field loops have to be formed between both ends of the magnet, a magnet will always have two poles.
Explanation:
Magnetic Monopoles do not exist in nature because a magnetic field always forms a loop that runs from one end of the magnet to the other.
Since this loop of the magnetic field has an origination and termination point which are at the two ends of the magnet (North and South poles). A magnet will always be bipolar which is in this case, North and South; even at an atomic level.
Consider a sound wave modeled with the equation s(x, t) = 3.00 nm cos(3.50 m−1x − 1,800 s−1t). What is the maximum displacement (in nm), the wavelength (in m), the frequency (in Hz), and the speed (in m/s) of the sound wave?
Answer:
- maximum displacement = 3.00nm
- λ = 1.79m
- f = 286.47 s^-1
Explanation:
You have the following equation for a sound wave:
[tex]s(x,t)=3.00nm\ cos(3.50m^{-1}x- 1,800s^{-1} t)[/tex] (1)
The general form of the equation of a sound wave can be expressed as the following formula:
[tex]s(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)[/tex] (2)
A: amplitude of the wave = 3.00nm
k: wave number = 3.50m^-1
w: angular frequency = 1,800s^-1
- The maximum displacement of the wave is given by the amplitude of the wave, then you have:
maximum displacement = A = 3.00nm
- The wavelength is given by :
[tex]\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{3.50m^{-1}}=1.79m[/tex]
The values for the wavelength is 1.79m
- The frequency is:
[tex]f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{1,800s^{-1}}{2\pi}=286.47s^{-1}[/tex]
The frequency is 286.47s-1

You have a 2m long wire which you will make into a thin coil with N loops to generate a magnetic field of 3mT when the current in the wire is 1.2A. What is the radius of the coils and how many loops, N, are there
Answer:
radius of the loop = 7.9 mm
number of turns N ≅ 399 turns
Explanation:
length of wire L= 2 m
field strength B = 3 mT = 0.003 T
current I = 12 A
recall that field strength B = μnI
where n is the turn per unit length
vacuum permeability μ = [tex]4\pi *10^{-7} T-m/A[/tex] = 1.256 x 10^-6 T-m/A
imputing values, we have
0.003 = 1.256 x 10^−6 x n x 12
0.003 = 1.507 x 10^-5 x n
n = 199.07 turns per unit length
for a length of 2 m,
number of loop N = 2 x 199.07 = 398.14 ≅ 399 turns
since there are approximately 399 turns formed by the 2 m length of wire, it means that each loop is formed by 2/399 = 0.005 m of the wire.
this length is also equal to the circumference of each loop
the circumference of each loop = [tex]2\pi r[/tex]
0.005 = 2 x 3.142 x r
r = 0.005/6.284 = [tex]7.9*10^{-4} m[/tex] = 0.0079 m = 7.9 mm
A man stands on a merry-go-round that is rotating at 2.5 rad/s. If the coefficient of static friction between the man’s shoes and the merry-go-round is µs = 0.5, how far from the axis of rotation can he stand without sliding?
Answer:
0.8 m
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram. There are three forces:
Weight force mg pulling down,
Normal force N pushing up,
and friction force Nμ pushing towards the center.
Sum of forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
N − mg = 0
N = mg
Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:
∑F = ma
Nμ = m v²/r
Substitute and simplify:
mgμ = m v²/r
gμ = v²/r
Write v in terms of ω and solve for r:
gμ = ω²r
r = gμ/ω²
Plug in values:
r = (10 m/s²) (0.5) / (2.5 rad/s)²
r = 0.8 m
The distance (radius) from the axis of rotation which the man can stand without sliding is 0.784 meters.
Given the following data:
Angular speed = 2.5 rad/s.Coefficient of static friction = 0.5To determine how far (radius) from the axis of rotation can the man stand without sliding:
We would apply Newton's Second Law of Motion, to express the centripetal and force of static friction acting on the man.
[tex]\sum F = \frac{mv^2}{r} - uF_n\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = uF_n[/tex]....equation 1.
But, Normal force, [tex]F_n = mg[/tex]
Substituting the normal force into eqn. 1, we have:
[tex]\frac{mv^2}{r} = umg\\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = ug[/tex]....equation 2.
Also, Linear speed, [tex]v = r\omega[/tex]
Substituting Linear speed into eqn. 2, we have:
[tex]\frac{(r\omega )^2}{r} = ug\\\\r\omega ^2 = ug\\\\r = \frac{ug}{\omega ^2}[/tex]
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]r = \frac{0.5 \times 9.8}{2.5^2} \\\\r = \frac{4.9}{6.25}[/tex]
Radius, r = 0.784 meters

Consider a heat engine that inputs 10 kJ of heat and outputs 5 kJ of work. What are the signs on the total heat transfer and total work transfer
Answer:
Total heat transfer is positive
Total work transfer is positive
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics states that when a system interacts with its surrounding, the amount of energy gained by the system must be equal to the amount of energy lost by the surrounding. In a closed system, exchange of energy with the surrounding can be done through heat and work transfer.
Heat transfer to a system is positive and that transferred from the system is negative.
Also, work done by a system is positive while the work done on the system is negative.
Therefore, from the question, since the heat engine inputs 10kJ of heat, then heat is being transferred to the system. Hence, the sign of the total heat transfer is positive (+ve)
Also, since the heat engine outputs 5kJ of work, it implies that work is being done by the system. Hence the sign of the total work transfer is also positive (+ve).

If the separation between the capacitor plates is doubled while the capacitor remains connected to the battery, the energy stored in the capacitor drops to half its previous value.
What is parallel plate capacitor?The two parallel plates placed at a distance apart used to store charge when electric supply is on.
The capacitance of a capacitor is given by
C = ε₀ A/d
where, ε₀ is the permittivity of free space, A = area of cross section of plates and d is the distance between them.
Capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between them. So, if distance is doubled, the capacitance decreases to half its original value.
Thus, the correct option is 8.

A ball is dropped from the top of an eleven-story building to a balcony on the ninth floor. In which case is the change in the potential energy associated with the motion of the ball the greatest
Answer:
at the top of the 9 story building i think
Explanation:
When the ball starts to move, its kinetic energy increases and potential energy decreases. Thus the ball will experience its maximum potential energy at the top height before falling.
What is potential energy?Potential energy of a massive body is the energy formed by virtue of its position and displacement. Potential energy is related to the mass, height and gravity as P = Mgh.
Where, g is gravity m is mass of the body and h is the height from the surface. Potential energy is directly proportional to mass, gravity and height.
Thus, as the height from the surface increases, the body acquires its maximum potential energy. When the body starts moving its kinetic energy progresses and reaches to zero potential energy.
Therefore, at the sate where the ball is at the top of the building it have maximum potential energy and then changes to zero.

A positive kaon (K+) has a rest mass of 494 MeV/c² , whereas a proton has a rest mass of 938 MeV/c². If a kaon has a total energy that is equal to the proton rest energy, the speed of the kaon is most nearly:___________.
A. 0.25c
B. 0.40c
C. 0.55c
D. 0.70c
E. 0.85c
Answer:
0.85c
Explanation:
Rest mass of Kaon [tex]M_{0K}[/tex] = 494 MeV/c²
Rest mass of proton [tex]M_{0P}[/tex] = 938 MeV/c²
The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²
for the kaon, rest energy [tex]E_{0K}[/tex] = 494c² MeV
for the proton, rest energy [tex]E_{0P}[/tex] = 938c² MeV
Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..
[tex]E[/tex] = γ[tex]E_{0}[/tex]
which can be written in this case as
[tex]E_{K}[/tex] = γ[tex]E_{0K}[/tex] ...... equ 1
where [tex]E[/tex] = total energy of the kaon, and
[tex]E_{0}[/tex] = rest energy of the kaon
γ = relativistic factor = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }[/tex]
where [tex]\beta = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]
But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...
[tex]E_{K}[/tex] = [tex]E_{0P}[/tex] ......equ 2
where [tex]E_{K}[/tex] is the total energy of the kaon, and
[tex]E_{0P}[/tex] is the rest energy of the proton.
From [tex]E_{K}[/tex] = [tex]E_{0P}[/tex] = 938c²
equ 1 becomes
938c² = γ494c²
γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89
γ = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }[/tex] = 1.89
1.89[tex]\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex] = 1
squaring both sides, we get
3.57( 1 - [tex]\beta^{2}[/tex]) = 1
3.57 - 3.57[tex]\beta^{2}[/tex] = 1
2.57 = 3.57[tex]\beta^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\beta^{2}[/tex] = 2.57/3.57 = 0.72
[tex]\beta = \sqrt{0.72}[/tex] = 0.85
but, [tex]\beta = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]
v/c = 0.85
v = 0.85c

A tightly wound toroid of inner radius 1.2 cm and outer radius 2.4 cm has 960 turns of wire and carries a current of 2.5 A.
Requried:
a. What is the magnetic field at a distance of 0.9 cm from the center?
b. What is the field 1.2 cm from the center?
Answer:
a
[tex]B = 0.0533 \ T[/tex]
b
[tex]B = 0.04 \ T[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The inner radius is [tex]r = 1.2 \ cm = 0.012 \ m[/tex]
The outer radius is [tex]r_o = 2.4 \ cm = \frac{2.4}{100} = 0.024 \ m[/tex]
The nu umber of turns is [tex]N = 960[/tex]
The current it is carrying is [tex]I = 2. 5 A[/tex]
Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o * N* I }{2 * \pi * r }[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with a constant value
[tex]\mu = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]
And the given distance where the magnetic field is felt is r = 0.9 cm = 0.009 m
Now substituting values
[tex]B = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 960* 2.5 }{2 * 3.142 * 0.009 }[/tex]
[tex]B = 0.0533 \ T[/tex]
Fro the second question the distance of the position considered from the center is r = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m
So the magnetic field is
[tex]B = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 960* 2.5 }{2 * 3.142 * 0.012 }[/tex]
[tex]B = 0.04 \ T[/tex]
The magnetic field at a distance of 0.9 cm from the center of the toroid is 0.053 T.
The magnetic field at a distance of 1.2 cm from the center of the toroid is 0.04 T.

What is the change in internal energy of an engine if you put 15 gallon of gasoline into its tank? The energy content of gasoline is 1.5 x 106 J/gallon. All other factors, such as the engine’s temperature, are constant. How many hours the engine can work if the power of the engine’s motor is 600 W? (8 marks)
Answer:
ΔU = 2.25 x 10⁸ J
t = 104.17 s
Explanation:
The change in internal energy of the engine can be given by the following formula:
ΔU = (Mass of Gasoline)(Energy Content of Gasoline)
ΔU = (1.5 x 10⁶ J/gallon)(15 gallon)
ΔU = 2.25 x 10⁸ J
Now, for the time of operation, we use the following formula of power.
P = W/t = ΔU/t
t = ΔU/P
where,
t = time of operation = ?
ΔU = Change in internal energy = 2.25 x 10⁸ J
P = Power of motor = 600 W
Therefore,
t = (2.25 x 10⁸ J)/(600 W)
t = (375000 s)(1 h/3600 s)
t = 104.17 s

For a skateboarder who starts from the rest, the speed when he reaches the bottom of the ramp will be 10.6 m/s.
What are Velocity and Acceleration?The term "velocity" refers to a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion. Velocity is the rate of movement in a single direction, to put it simply. Velocity can be used to determine how fast a rocket is heading into space and how fast a car is moving north on a congested motorway.
There are several types of velocity :
Instantaneous velocityAverage VelocityUniform VelocityNon-Uniform VelocityThe pace at which a person's velocity changes is known as acceleration. This implies that an object is accelerating if its velocity is rising or falling. An object that is accelerating won't have a steady change in location every second like an item moving at a constant speed does.
According to the question, the given values are :
Time, t = 3.50 sec
Initial Velocity, u = 0 m/s
Use equation of motion :

Question:
A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes
How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.
Answer:
S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m
V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s
Explanation:
The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes
radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes
Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)
= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes
= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s
= 5.508 × 10¹¹m
time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)
= 2100 secs
speed = distance/time
V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s
V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s
According to Newton, when the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is
Answer:
1/4 of its original value
Explanation:
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that when two bodies of masses M₁ and M₂ interact, the force of attraction (F) between these bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between these bodies. i.e
F ∝ [tex]\frac{M_1 M_2}{r^2}[/tex] ------------(i)
From the equation above, it can be deduced that;
F ∝ [tex]\frac{1}{r^2}[/tex]
=> F = G [tex]\frac{1}{r^2}[/tex] -----------(ii)
Where;
G = constant of proportionality called the gravitational constant
Equation (ii) can be re-written as
Fr² = G
=> F₁r₁² = F₂r₂² -----------(iii)
Where;
F₁ and r₁ are the initial values of the force and distance respectively
F₂ and r₂ are the final values of the force and distance respectively
From the question, if the distance doubles i.e;
r₂ = 2r₁,
Then the final value of the gravitational force F₂ is calculated as follows;
Substitute the value of r₂ = 2r₁ into equation (iii) as follows;
F₁r₁² = F₂(2r₁)²
F₁r₁² = 4F₂r₁² [Divide through by r₁²]
F₁ = 4F₂ [Make F₂ subject of the formula]
F₂ = F₁ / 4 [Re-write this]
F₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{4} F_1[/tex]
Therefore the gravitational force will be 1/4 of its original value when the distance between the bodies doubles.

c) What is the horizontal range (maximum x above ground) of the object?
d) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just before it hits the ground?
Answer:
(a) max. height = 3.641 m
(b) flight time = 1.723 s
(c) horizontal range = 31.235 m
(d) impact velocity = 20 m/s
Above values have been given to third decimal. Adjust significant figures to suit accuracy required.
Explanation:
This problem requires the use of kinematics equations
v1^2-v0^2=2aS .............(1)
v1.t + at^2/2 = S ............(2)
where
v0=initial velocity
v1=final velocity
a=acceleration
S=distance travelled
SI units and degrees will be used throughout
Let
theta = angle of elevation = 25 degrees above horizontal
v=initial velocity at 25 degrees elevation in m/s
a = g = -9.81 = acceleration due to gravity (downwards)
(a) Maximum height
Consider vertical direction,
v0 = v sin(theta) = 8.452 m/s
To find maximum height, we find the distance travelled when vertical velocity = 0, i.e. v1=0,
solve for S in equation (1)
v1^2 - v0^2 = 2aS
S = (v1^2-v0^2)/2g = (0-8.452^2)/(2*(-9.81)) = 3.641 m/s
(b) total flight time
We solve for the time t when the vertical height of the object is AGAIN = 0.
Using equation (2) for vertical direction,
v0*t + at^2/2 = S substitute values
8.452*t + (-9.81)t^2 = 3.641
Solve for t in the above quadratic equation to get t=0, or t=1.723 s.
So time for the flight = 1.723 s
(c) Horiontal range
We know the horizontal velocity is constant (neglect air resistance) at
vh = v*cos(theta) = 25*cos(25) = 18.126 m/s
Time of flight = 1.723 s
Horizontal range = 18.126 m/s * 1.723 s = 31.235 m
(d) Magnitude of object on hitting ground, Vfinal
By symmetry of the trajectory, Vfinal = v = 20, or
Vfinal = sqrt(v0^2+vh^2) = sqrt(8.452^2+18.126^2) = 20 m/s

Mass of the railcar, m = 5000 kg
Speed of the rail car, v = 1 m/s
The Kinetic energy(KE) of the railcar is given by the equation:
KE = 0.5 mv²
KE = 0.5 * 5000 * 1²
KE = 2500 J
The spring's compression, x = 0.1 m
The potential energy(PE) stored in the spring is given by the equation:
PE = 0.5kx²
PE = 0.5 * k * 0.1²
PE = 0.005k
According to the principle of energy conservation, Kinetic energy of the railcar equals the potential energy stored in the spring
KE = PE
2500 = 0.005k
k = 2500/0.005
k = 500000 N/m
k = 0.5 MN/m
Which observation have scientists used to support Einstein's general theory of relativity?
The orbital path of Mercury around the Sun has changed.

O The Sun has gotten more massive over time.
Objects act differently in a gravity field than in an accelerating reference frame.
Answer:
Objects act differently in a gravity field than in an accelerating reference frame.
Explanation:
The main thrust of the theory general relativity as proposed by Albert Einstein boarders on space and time as the two fundamental aspects of spacetime. Spacetime is curved in the presence of gravity, matter, energy, and momentum. The theory of general relativity explains gravity based on the way space can 'curve', that is, it seeks to relate gravitational force to the changing geometry of space-time.
The Einstein general theory of relativity has replaced Newton's ideas proposed in earlier centuries as a means of predicting gravitational interactions. This concept is quite helpful but cannot be fitted into the context of quantum mechanics due to obvious incompatibilities.
Answer:
A - The orbital path of mercury around the sun has changed.

An amusement park ride has a vertical cylinder with an inner radius of 3.4 m, which rotates about its vertical axis. Riders stand inside against the carpeted surface and rotate with the cylinder while it accelerates to its full angular velocity. At that point the floor drops away and friction between the riders and the cylinder prevents them from sliding downward. The coefficient of static friction between the riders and the cylinder is 0.87. What minimum angular velocity in radians/second is necessary to assure that the riders will not slide down the wall?
Answer:
The minimum angular velocity necessary to assure that the riders will not slide down the wall is 1.58 rad/second.
Explanation:
The riders will experience a centripetal force from the cylinder
[tex]F_{C}[/tex] = mrω^2 .... equ 1
where
m is the mass of the rider
r is the inner radius of the cylinder = 3.4 m
ω is the angular speed of of the rider
For the riders not to slide downwards, this centripetal force is balanced by the friction between the riders and the cylinder. The frictional force is given as
[tex]F_{f}[/tex] = μR ....equ 2
where
μ = coefficient of friction = 0.87
R is the normal force from the rider = mg
where
m is the rider's mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s
substitute mg for R in equ 2, we'll have
[tex]F_{f}[/tex] = μmg ....equ 3
Equating centripetal force of equ 1 and frictional force of equ 3, we'll get
mrω^2 = μmg
the mass of the rider cancels out, and we are left with
rω^2 = μg
ω^2 = μg/r
ω = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{ug}{r} }[/tex]
ω = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.87*9.81}{3.4} }[/tex]
ω = 1.58 rad/second
The minimum angular velocity necessary so that the riders will not slide down the wall is 1.58 rad/s
The riders will experience a centripetal force from the cylinder
[tex]F = mrw^2[/tex]
where m is the mass of the rider
r is the inner radius of the cylinder = 3.4 m
ω is the angular speed of the rider
For the riders not to slide downwards, this centripetal force must be balanced by friction. The frictional force is given as
f = μN
where
μ = coefficient of friction = 0.87
N is the normal force = mg
f = μmg
Equating centripetal force of and frictional force of we'll get
[tex]mrw^2 = umg[/tex]
[tex]rw^2 = ug[/tex]
[tex]w^2 = ug/r[/tex]
[tex]w= \sqrt{ug/r}[/tex]
[tex]w= \sqrt{0.87*9.8/3.4}[/tex]
ω = 1.58 rad/s is the minimum angular velocity needed to prevent the rider from sliding.

A medieval city has the shape of a square and is protected by walls with length 500 m and height 15 m. You are the commander of an attacking army and the closest you can get to the wall is 100 m. Your plan is to set fire to the city by catapulting heated rocks over the wall (with an initial speed of 80 m/s). At what range of angles should you tell your men to set the catapult? (Assume the path of the rocks is perpendicular to the wall. Round your answers to one decimal place. Use g ≈ 9.8 m/s2. Enter your answer using interval notation. Enter your answer in terms of degrees without using a degree symbol.)
Answer:
θ₁ = 85.5º θ₂ = 12.98º
Explanation:
Let's analyze this projectile launch problem, the catapults are 100 m from the wall 15 m high, the objective is for the walls, let's look for the angles for which the rock stops touching the wall.
Let's write the equations for motion for this point
X axis
x = v₀ₓ t
x = v₀ cos θ t
Y axis
y = [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] t - ½ g t2
y = v_{o} sin θ t - ½ g t²
let's substitute the values
100 = 80 cos θ t
15 = 80 sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²
we have two equations with two unknowns, so the system can be solved
let's clear the time in the first equation
t = 100/80 cos θ
15 = 80 sin θ (10/8 cos θ) - 4.9 (10/8 cos θ)²
15 = 100 tan θ - 7.656 sec² θ
we can use the trigonometric relationship
sec² θ = 1- tan² θ
we substitute
15 = 100 tan θ - 7,656 (1- tan² θ)
15 = 100 tan θ - 7,656 + 7,656 tan² θ
7,656 tan² θ + 100 tan θ -22,656=0
let's change variables
tan θ = u
u² + 13.06 u + 2,959 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
u = [-13.06 ±√(13.06² - 4 2,959)] / 2
u = [13.06 ± 12.599] / 2
u₁ = 12.8295
u₂ = 0.2305
now we can find the angles
u = tan θ
θ = tan⁻¹ u
θ₁ = 85.5º
θ₂ = 12.98º
Two vehicles approach an intersection, a 2500kg pickup travels from E to W at 14.0m/s and a 1500kg car from S to N at 23.0m/s. Find P net of this system (direction and magnitude)
Answer:
The magnitude of the momentum is 49145.19 kg.m/s
The direction of the two vehicles is 44.6° North West
Explanation:
Given;
speed of first vehicle, v₁ = 14 m/s (East to west)
mass of first vehicle, m₁ = 1500 kg
speed of second vehicle, v₂ = 23 m/s (South to North)
momentum of the first vehicle in x-direction (E to W is in negative x-direction)
[tex]P_x = mv_x\\\\P_x = 2500kg(-14 \ m/s)\\\\P_x = -35000 \ kg.m/s[/tex]
momentum of the second vehicle in y-direction (S to N is in positive y-direction)
[tex]P_y = m_2v_y\\\\P_y = 1500kg(23 \ m/s)\\\\P_y = 34500 \ kg.m/s[/tex]
Magnitude of the momentum of the system;
[tex]P= \sqrt{P_x^2 + P_y^2} \\\\P = \sqrt{(-35000)^2+(34500)^2} \\\\P = 49145.19 \ kg.m/s[/tex]
Direction of the two vehicles;
[tex]tan \ \theta = \frac{P_y}{|P_x|} \\\\tan \ \theta = \frac{34500}{35000} \\\\tan \ \theta = 0.9857\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (0.9857)\\\\\theta = 44.6^0[/tex]North West
The compressor of an air conditioner draws an electric current of 16.2 A when it starts up. If the start-up time is 1.45 s long, then how much electric charge passes through the circuit during this period
Answer:
Q = 23.49 C
Explanation:
We have,
Electric current drawn by the air conditioner is 16.2 A
Time, t = 1.45 s
It is required to find the electric charge passes through the circuit during this period. We know that electric current is defined as the electric charge flowing per unit time. So,
[tex]I=\dfrac{q}{t}\\\\q=It\\\\q=16.2\times 1.45\\\\q=23.49\ C[/tex]
So, the charge of 23.49 C is passing through the circuit during this period.

Answer:
i
[tex]v = 142.595 \ m/s[/tex]
ii
[tex]f = 109.69 \ Hz[/tex]
iii1 )
[tex]f_2 =219.4 Hz[/tex]
iii2)
[tex]f_3 =329.1 Hz[/tex]
iii3)
[tex]f_4 =438.8 Hz[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the string is [tex]l = 0.65 \ m[/tex]
The tension on the string is [tex]T = 61 \ N[/tex]
The mass per unit length is [tex]m = 3.0 \ g/m = 3.0 * \frac{1}{1000} = 3 *10^{-3 } \ kg /m[/tex]
The speed of wave on the string is mathematically represented as
[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{61}{3*10^{-3}} }[/tex]
[tex]v = 142.595 \ m/s[/tex]
generally the string's frequency is mathematically represented as
[tex]f = \frac{nv}{2l}[/tex]
n = 1 given that the frequency we are to find is the fundamental frequency
So
substituting values
[tex]f = \frac{142.595 * 1 }{2 * 0.65}[/tex]
[tex]f = 109.69 \ Hz[/tex]
The frequencies at which the string would vibrate include
1 [tex]f_2 = 2 * f[/tex]
Here [tex]f_2[/tex] is know as the second harmonic and the value is
[tex]f_2 = 2 * 109.69[/tex]
[tex]f_2 =219.4 Hz[/tex]
2
[tex]f_3 = 3 * f[/tex]
Here [tex]f_3[/tex] is know as the third harmonic and the value is
[tex]f_3 = 3 * 109.69[/tex]
[tex]f_3 =329.1 Hz[/tex]
3
[tex]f_3 = 4 * f[/tex]
Here [tex]f_4[/tex] is know as the fourth harmonic and the value is
[tex]f_3 = 4 * 109.69[/tex]
[tex]f_4 =438.8 Hz[/tex]
