Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 45 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a rod, L = 50 cm

Mass, m₁ = 0.2 kg

It is at 40cm from the left end of the rod.

We need to find the distance from the left end of the rod should a 0.6kg mass be hung to balance the rod.

The centre of mass of the rod is at 25 cm.

Taking moments of both masses such that,

[tex]15\times 0.2=x\times 0.6\\\\x=\drac{3}{0.6}\\\\x=5\ cm[/tex]

The distance from the left end is 40+5 = 45 cm.

Hence, at a distance of 45 cm from the left end it will balance the rod.

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?

Answers

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]

Answers

Answer:

201.8 days

Explanation:

The activity of a radioactive sample as a function of times is :

[tex]$R=R_0e^{\frac{0.693t}{T_{1/2}}}$[/tex]

Here, [tex]$R_0$[/tex] = the initial activity

          [tex]$T_{1/2}$[/tex] = half life

          t = elapsed time

Now rearranging the equation for time, t, we get:

[tex]$\frac{R}{R_0}=e^{-\frac{0.693t}{T_{1/2}}}$[/tex]

[tex]$\ln\left(\frac{R}{R_0}\right)=-\frac{0.693t}{T_{1/2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$t=\frac{-\ln\left(\frac{R}{R_0}\right)T_{1/2}}{0.693}$[/tex]

Answers

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:

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.

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?

Answers

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]

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

Answers

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.

Explanation:

The yearly whole-body dose caused by radioactive 40K absorbed in our tissues is 17 mrem. Note: 40K also emits gamma rays, many of which leave the body before being absorbed. Because fatty tissue has low potassium concentration and muscle has a higher concentration, gamma ray emissions indicate indirectly a person's fat content. Assuming that 40K undergoes beta decay with an RBE of 1.4 , determine the absorbed dose in rads. How much beta ray energy does an 75-kg person absorb in one year? Use that 1rad=10^−2J/kg .

Answers

Answer:

The beta ray Energy (E) absorbed = 0.009105 Joules

Explanation:

The absorbed dose rate in the tissue can be determined by using the known formula:

Dose equivalent = absorbed dose × relative biological effective (RBE)

[tex]absorbed \ dose = \dfrac{Dose \ equivalent}{RBE}[/tex]

[tex]absorbed \ dose = \dfrac{17 \times 10^{-3} \ rem}{1.4}[/tex]

absorbed dose = 12.14 × 10⁻³ rad

absorbed dose = 12.14 m rad

However, since the absorbed dose is determined, the energy absorbed in one year is can be expressed as:

Energy (E) = mass × absorbed rate

Energy (E) = 75 kg × 12.14 × 10⁻³ rad

Energy (E) = 75 kg × 12.14 × 10⁻³× 10⁻² J/kg

Energy (E) = 75 × 12.14 × 10⁻³× 10⁻² Joules

Energy (E) = 0.009105 Joules

Which situation is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion?

An object at rest begins to move when an external force is applied.
A moving object has a constant velocity under the influence of balanced forces.
An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.
A moving object slows down when an external force is applied.

Answers

Answer:

An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

Explanation:

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as Law of Inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

The inertia of a physical object such as a truck is greatly dependent or influenced by its mass; the higher the quantity of matter in a truck, the greater will be its tendency to continuously remain at rest.

Hence, the situation which is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion is that, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces do not act on it.

Express his height in meters, using the appropriate number of significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

H = 1.85 m

Explanation:

First, we will convert the height completely into inches. 1 feet contains 12 inches in it. Therefore:

H = (6 feet)(12 inch/1 feet) + 1 inch

H = 73 inches

Now, we will convert this height from inches to meters. 1 inch is equivalent to 0.0254 m. Therefore:

H = (73 inches)(0.0254 m/1 inch)

H = 1.85 m

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​

Answers

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
