An electron moving in a direction perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 1.6 107 m/s undergoes an acceleration of 7.0 1016 m/s2 to the right (the positive x-direction) when its velocity is upward (the positive y-direction). Determine the magnitude and direction of the field.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B = 0.024T positive z-direction

Explanation:

In this case you consider that the direction of the motion of the electron, and the direction of the magnetic field are perpendicular.

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on the electron is given by the following formula:

[tex]F=qvB[/tex]     (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

v: speed of the electron = 1.6*10^7 m/s

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = ?

By the Newton second law you also have that the magnetic force is equal to:

[tex]F=qvB=ma[/tex]       (2)

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

a: acceleration of the electron = 7.0*10^16 m/s^2

You solve for B from the equation (2):

[tex]B=\frac{ma}{qv}\\\\B=\frac{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(7.0*10^{16}m/s^2)}{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(1.6*10^7m/s)}\\\\B=0.024T[/tex]

The direction of the magnetic field is found by using the right hand rule.

The electron moves upward (+^j). To obtain a magnetic forces points to the positive x-direction (+^i), the direction of the magnetic field has to be to the positive z-direction (^k). In fact, you have:

-^j X ^i = ^k

Where the minus sign of the ^j is because of the negative charge of the electron.

Then, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.024T and its direction is in the positive z-direction

Answers

Answer:

a) correct answer is b higher , b) correct answer is b higher , c) correct answer is b faster , d)  traveling wave , e)

Explanation:

A traveling wave is described by the expression

            y = A sin (kx - wt)

where k is the wave vector and w is the angular velocity

 

let's examine every situation presented

a) a new faster pulse is generated

A faster pulse should have a higher angular velocity

equal speed is related to the period and frequency

            w = 2π f = 2π / T

therefore in this case the period must decrease so that the angular velocity increases

the correct answer is c narrower

b) Generate a pulse, but move your hand more.

Moving the hand increases the amplitude (A) of the pulse

the correct answer is b higher

c) generates a pulse but the force is tightened

Set means that more tension force is applied to the string, so the velicate changes

       v = √ (T /μ)

the correct answer is b faster

d) move your hand back and forth

in this case you would see a pulse series whose sum corresponds to a traveling wave

e) Advance a frame the movie

in this case the wave will be displaced a whole period to the right

the correct answer is b

f) move your hand faster

the waves will have a maximum fast, so they are closer

answer C

g) decrease wave frequency

Since the speed of the wave is a constant m ak, decreasing the frequency must increase the wavelength to keep the velocity constant.

the correct answer is b increases its wavelength

A Nearsighted Eye. A certain very nearsighted person cannot focus on anything farther than 36.0 cm from the eye. Consider the simplified model of the eye. In a simplified model of the human eye, the aqueous and vitreous humors and the lens all have a refractive index of 1.40, and all the refraction occurs at the cornea, whose vertex is 2.60 cm from the retina.

Required:
a. If the radius of curvature of the cornea is 0.65 cm when the eye is focusing on an object 36.0 cm from the cornea vertex and the indexes of refraction are as described before, what is the distance from the cornea vertex to the retina?
b. What does this tell you about the shape of the nearsighted eye?

1. This distance is greater than for the normal eye.
2. This distance is shorter than for the normal eye.

Answers

Answer:

a) The distance from the cornea vertex to the retina is 2.37 cm

b) This distance is shorter than for the normal eye.

Explanation:

a) Let refractive index of air,

n(air) = x = 1

Let refractive index of lens,

n(lens) = y = 1.4

Object distance, s = 36 cm

Radius of curvature, R = 0.65 cm

The distance from the cornea vertex to the retina is the image distance because image is formed in the retina.

Image distance, s' = ?

(x/s) + (y/s') = (y-x)/R

(1/36) + (1.4/s') = (1.4 - 1)/0.65

1.4/s' = 0.62 - 0.028

1.4/s' = 0.592

s' = 1.4/0.592

s' = 2.37 cm

Distance from the cornea vertex to the retina is 2.37 cm

(b) For a normal eye, the distance between the cornea vertex and the retina is 2.60 cm. Since 2.37 < 2.60, this distance is shorter than for normal eye.

A 4.5 kg ball swings from a string in a vertical circle such that it has constant sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energy. Ignore any friction forces from the air or in the string. What is the difference in the tension between the lowest and highest points on the circle

Answers

Answer:

88.29 N

Explanation:

mass of the ball = 4.5 kg

weight of the ball will be = mass x acceleration due to gravity(9.81 m/s^2)

weight W = 4.5 x 9.81 = 44.145 N

centrifugal forces Tc act on the ball as it swings.

At the top point of the vertical swing,

Tension on the rope = Tc - W.

At the bottom point of the vertical swing,

Tension on the rope = Tc + W

therefore,

difference in tension between these two points will be;

Net tension = tension at bottom minus tension at the top

= Tc + W - (Tc - W) = Tc + W -Tc + W

= 2W

imputing the value of the weight W, we have

2W = 2 x 44.145 = 88.29 N

A glass flask whose volume is 1000 cm^3 at a temperature of 1.00°C is completely filled with mercury at the same temperature. When the flask and mercury are warmed together to a temperature of 52.0°C , a volume of 8.50 cm^3 of mercury overflows the flask.Required:If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is βHg = 1.80×10^−4 /K , compute βglass, the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass. Express your answer in inverse kelvins.

Answers

Answer:

the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is [tex]\mathbf{ ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial volume of the glass flask = 1000 cm³ = 10⁻³ m³

temperature of the glass flask and mercury= 1.00° C

After heat is applied ; the final temperature = 52.00° C

Temperature change ΔT = 52.00° C - 1.00° C = 51.00° C

Volume of the mercury overflow = 8.50 cm^3 = 8.50 ×  10⁻⁶ m³

the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 1.80 × 10⁻⁴ / K

The increase in the volume of the mercury =  10⁻³ m³ ×  51.00 × 1.80 × 10⁻⁴

The increase in the volume of the mercury = [tex]9.18*10^{-6} \ m^3[/tex]

Increase in volume of the glass =  10⁻³ × 51.00 × [tex]\beta _{glass}[/tex]

Now; the mercury overflow = Increase in volume of the mercury - increase in the volume of the flask

the mercury overflow = [tex](9.18*10^{-6} - 51.00* \beta_{glass}*10^{-3})\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]8.50*10^{-6} = (9.18*10^{-6} -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]8.50*10^{-6} - 9.18*10^{-6} = ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]-6.8*10^{-7} = ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]6.8*10^{-7} = ( 51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6.8*10^{-7}}{51.00 * 10^{-3}}= ( \beta_{glass} )[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}[/tex]

Thus; the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is [tex]\mathbf{ ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}[/tex]

Imagine you are in a small boat on a small pond that has no inflow or outflow. If you take an anchor that was sitting on the floor of the boat and lower it over the side until it sits on the ground at the bottom of the pond, will the water level rise slightly, stay the same, or lower slightly?Two students, Ian and Owen, are discussing this. Ian says that the anchor will still displace just as much water when it is sitting on the bottom of the pond as it does when it is in the boat. After all, adding the anchor to the boat causes the water level in the lake to rise, and so would immersing the anchor in the pond. So Ian reasons that both displacements would be equal, and the lake level remains unchanged.

Answers

Answer;

The pond's water level will fall.

Explanation;

Archimedes principle explains that a floating body will displace the amount of water that weighs the same as it, whereas a body resting on the bottom of the water displaces the amount of water that is equal to the body's volume.

When the anchor is in the boat it is in the category of floating body and when it is on the bottom of the pond it is in the second category.

Since anchors are naturally heavy and denser than water, the amount of water displaced when the anchor is in the boat is greater than the amount of water displaced when the anchor is on the bottom of the pond since the way anchors are doesn't make for them to have considerable volume.

When the anchor is dropped to the bottom of the pond, the water level will therefore fall. If the anchor doesn't reach the bottom it is still in the floating object category and there will be no difference to the water level, but once it touches the bottom of the pond, the water level of the pond drops.

Hope this Helps!!!

Buoyancy is an upward force exerted by a fluid on a body partially or completely immersed in it

The pond water level will lower slightly

According to Archimedes principle, the up thrust on the boat by the water is given by the volume of the water displaced

When a boat floats, the weight of the boat and all its contents and passengers is equal to the displaced water, so that larger boats with more wider opening can displace more water and therefore, carry more load

With regards to lowering the anchor from the boat into the pond, the weight of the anchor is no longer carried by the boat but by the bottom of the pond, therefore, the weight of the boat reduces, and the boat rises, while the volume initially occupied by the boat is taken up by the water available, therefore, the water level lowers slightly

A box on a ramp is connected by a rope to a winch. The winch is turned so that the box moves down the ramp at a constant speed. The box experiences kinetic friction with the ramp. Which forces on the box do zero work as the box moves down the ramp?

a. Weight (gravitational force)
b. Normal force
c. Kinetic friction force
d. Tension force
e. None

Answers

Answer:

Option B:

The normal force

Explanation:

The normal force does no work as the box slides down the ramp.

Work can only be done when the force succeeds in moving the object in the direction of the force.

All the other forces involved have a component that is moving the box in their direction.

However, the normal force does not, as it points downwards into the ramp. Since the normal force is pointing into the ramp, and the box is sliding down the ramp, we can say that no work is being done by the normal force because the box is not moving in its direction (which would have been the box moving into the ramp)

High voltage power is often carried in wire bundles made up of individual strands. In your initial post to the discussion, discuss the forces on the strands of wire due to the current flowing through them. What would happen if the force acted opposite of the known behavior

Answers

Answer:

More current will be loss through the metal wire strands if the force on them was repulsive, and more stress will be induced on the wire strands due to internal and external flexing.

Explanation:

A wire bundle is made up of wire strands bunched together to increase flexibility that is not always possible in a single solid metal wire conductor. In the strands of wire carrying a high voltage power, each strand carries a certain amount of current, and the current through the strands all travel in the same direction. It is know that for two conductors or wire, separated by a certain distance, that carries current flowing through them in the same direction, an attractive force is produced on these wires, one on the other. This effect is due to the magnetic induction of a current carrying conductor. The forces between these strands of the high voltage wire bundle, pulls the wire strands closer, creating more bond between these wire strands and reducing internal flex induced stresses.

If the case was the opposite, and the wires opposed themselves, the effect would be that a lot of cost will be expended in holding these wire strands together. Also, stress within the strands due to the repulsion, will couple with external stress from the flexing of the wire, resulting in the weakening of the material.

The biggest problem will be that more current will be lost in the wire due to increased surface area caused by the repulsive forces opening spaces between the strand. This loss is a s a result of the 'skin effect' in wire transmission, in which current tends to flow close to the surface of the metal wire. The skin effect generates power loss as heat through the exposed surface area.

Answers

Answer:

F = 103.54N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude of the applied force, you take into account that the forces on the box are the applied force F and the weight of the box W.

The box moves with a constant velocity. By the Newton second law you have that the sum of forces must be equal to zero.

Furthermore, you have that the sum of forces are given by:

[tex]F-Wsin\theta=0[/tex]                (1)

F: applied force = ?

W: weight of the box = Mg = (25kg)(9.8m/s^2) = 245N

θ: degree of the incline = 25°

You solve the equation (1) for F:

[tex]F=Wsin\theta=(245N)sin(25\°)=103.54N[/tex]          (2)

Speed of nucleus at A is [tex]v_A=6.2\times 10^5\ m/s[/tex]

Potential at point A, [tex]V_A=1.5\times 10^3\ V[/tex]

Potential at point B, [tex]V_B=4\times 10^3\ V[/tex]

We need to find the speed at point B on the circle. It is based on the concept of conservation of energy such that :

falls to 1.8V, its internal resistance will be​

Answers

Answer:

1.1ohms

Explanation:

According to ohms law E = IR

If potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected across a resistance of 5 ohm and if suddenly the voltage Falls to 1.8V then the current in the 5ohms resistor I = V/R = 1.8/5

I = 0.36A (This will be the load current).

Before we can calculate the value of the internal resistance, we need to know the voltage drop across the internal resistance.

Voltage drop = 2.2V - 1.8V = 0.4V

Then we calculate the internal resistance using ohms law.

According to the law, V = Ir

V= voltage drop

I is the load current

r = internal resistance

0.4 = 0.36r

r = 0.4/0.36

r = 1.1 ohms

A heavy, 6 m long uniform plank has a mass of 30 kg. It is positioned so that 4 m is supported on the deck of a ship and 2 m sticks out over the water. It is held in place only by its own weight. You have a mass of 70 kg and walk the plank past the edge of the ship. How far past the edge do you get before the plank starts to tip, in m

Answers

Answer:

about 1 meter

Explanation:

   

The distance past the edge that the man will get before the plank starts to tip is; 0.4285 m

We are given;

Mass of plank; m = 30 kg

Length of plank; L = 6m

Mass of man; M = 70 kg

Since the plank has 2 supports which are the deck of the ship, then it means that, we can take moments about the right support before the 2m stick out of the plank.

Thus;

Moment of weight of plank about the right support;

τ_p = mg((L/2) - 2)

τ_p = 30 × 9.8((6/2) - 2)

τ_p = 294 N.m

Moment of weight of man about the right support;

τ_m = Mgx

where x is the distance past the edge the man will get before the plank starts to tip.

τ_m = 70 × 9.8x

τ_m = 686x

Now, moment of the board is counterclockwise while that of the man is clockwise. Thus;

τ_m = τ_p

686x = 294

x = 294/686

x = 0.4285 m

Required:
a. Determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the electron.
b. Compare this force (F) with the weight of the electron (Fg), which we ignored.

Answers

Answer:

a.     F = 2.32*10^-18 N

b.     The force F is 2.59*10^11 times the weight of the electron

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the magnitude of the force exerted on the electron you first calculate the acceleration of the electron, by using the following formula:

[tex]v^2=v_o^2+2ax[/tex]         (1)

v: final speed of the electron = 6.60*10^5 m/s

vo: initial speed of the electron = 4.00*10^5 m/s

a: acceleration of the electron = ?

x: distance traveled by the electron = 5.40cm = 0.054m

you solve the equation (2) for a and replace the values of the parameters:

[tex]a=\frac{v^2-v_o^2}{2x}=\frac{(6.60*10^5m/s)^2-(4.00*10^5m/s)^2}{2(0.054m)}\\\\a=2.55*10^{12}\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

Next, you use the second Newton law to calculate the force:

[tex]F=ma[/tex]

m: mass of the electron = 9.11*10^-31kg

[tex]F=(9.11*10^{-31}kg)(2.55*10^{12}m/s^2)=2.32*10^{-18}N[/tex]

The magnitude of the force exerted on the electron is 2.32*10^-18 N

b. The weight of the electron is given by:

[tex]F_g=mg=(9.11*10^{-31}kg)(9.8m/s^2)=8.92*10^{-30}N[/tex]

The quotient between the weight of the electron and the force F is:

[tex]\frac{F}{F_g}=\frac{2.32*10^{-18}N}{8.92*10^{-30}N}=2.59*10^{11}[/tex]

The force F is 2.59*10^11 times the weight of the electron

During a particular time interval, the displacement of an object is equal to zero. Must the distance traveled by this object also equal to zero during this time interval? Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer: No, we can have a displacement equal to 0 while the distance traveled is different than zero.

Explanation:

Ok, let's write the definitions:

Displacement: The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position.

Distance traveled: Total distance that you moved.

So, for example, if at t = 0s, you are in your house, then you go to the store, and then you return to your house, we have:

The displacement is equal to zero, because the initial position is your house and the final position is also your house, so the displacement is zero.

But the distance traveled is not zero, because you went from you traveled the distance from your house to the store two times.

So no, we can have a displacement equal to zero, but a distance traveled different than zero.

Answer:

a

  [tex]KE = 7.17 *10^{7} \ J[/tex]

b

 [tex]t = 6411.09 \ s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the flywheel is  [tex]r = 1.50 \ m[/tex]

      The mass of the flywheel is [tex]m = 430 \ kg[/tex]

          The rotational speed of the flywheel is [tex]w = 5,200 \ rev/min = 5200 * \frac{2 \pi }{60} =544.61 \ rad/sec[/tex]

      The power supplied by the motor is  [tex]P = 15.0 hp = 15 * 746 = 11190 \ W[/tex]

         

     Generally the moment of inertia of the flywheel is  mathematically represented as

       [tex]I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]I = \frac{1}{2} ( 430)(1.50)^2[/tex]

       [tex]I = 483.75 \ kgm^2[/tex]

The kinetic energy that is been stored is  

       [tex]KE = \frac{1}{2} * I * w^2[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]KE = \frac{1}{2} * 483.75 * (544.61)^2[/tex]

        [tex]KE = 7.17 *10^{7} \ J[/tex]

Generally power is mathematically represented as

          [tex]P = \frac{KE}{t}[/tex]

=>      [tex]t = \frac{KE}{P}[/tex]

substituting the value

        [tex]t = \frac{7.17 *10^{7}}{11190}[/tex]

where;

v is the constant velocity of the charged particle

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric force acting on a charged particle moving through an electric field = |qE|

The magnitude of the magnetic force of a charged particle moving at a particular velocity through a magnetic field = |qv × B|

Explanation:

The electric force acting on a charged particle, q, moving through an electric field, E, is given as a product of the charge on the particle (a scalar quantity) and the electric field (a vector quantity).

Electric force = qE

The magnitude of the electric force = |qE|

That is, magnitude of the product of the charge and the electric field vector.

The magnetic force acting on a charged particle, q, moving with a velocity, v, through a magnetic field, B is a vector product of qv [a product of the charge of the particle (a scalar quantity) and the velocity of the particle (a vector quantity)] and B (a vector quantity).

It is given mathematically as (qv × B)

The magnitude of the magnetic force is the magnitude of the vector product obtained.

Magnitude of the magnetic force = |qv × B|

Two conductors made of the same material are connected across the same potential difference. Conductor A has seven times the diameter and seven times the length of conductor B. What is the ratio of the power delivere

Answers

Complete question:

Two conductors made of the same material are connected across the same potential difference. Conductor A has seven times the diameter and seven times the length of conductor B. What is the ratio of the power delivered to A to power delivered to B.

Answer:

The ratio of the power delivered to A to power delivered to B is 7 : 1

Explanation:

Cross sectional area of a wire is calculated as;

[tex]A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}[/tex]

Resistance of a wire is calculated as;

[tex]R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \\\\R = \frac{4\rho L}{\pi d^2} \\\\[/tex]

Resistance in wire A;

[tex]R = \frac{4\rho _AL_A}{\pi d_A^2}[/tex]

Resistance in wire B;

[tex]R = \frac{4\rho _BL_B}{\pi d_B^2}[/tex]

Power delivered in wire;

[tex]P = \frac{V^2}{R}[/tex]

Power delivered in wire A;

[tex]P = \frac{V^2_A}{R_A}[/tex]

Power delivered in wire B;

[tex]P = \frac{V^2_B}{R_B}[/tex]

Substitute in the value of R in Power delivered in wire A;

[tex]P_A = \frac{V^2_A}{R_A} = \frac{V^2_A \pi d^2_A}{4 \rho_A L_A}[/tex]

Substitute in the value of R in Power delivered in wire B;

[tex]P_B = \frac{V^2_B}{R_B} = \frac{V^2_B \pi d^2_B}{4 \rho_B L_B}[/tex]

Take the ratio of power delivered to A to power delivered to B;

[tex]\frac{P_A}{P_B} = (\frac{V^2_A \pi d^2_A}{4\rho_AL_A} ) *(\frac{4\rho_BL_B}{V^2_B \pi d^2_B})\\\\ \frac{P_A}{P_B} = (\frac{V^2_A d^2_A}{\rho_AL_A} )*(\frac{\rho_BL_B}{V^2_B d^2_B})\\\\[/tex]

The wires are made of the same material, [tex]\rho _A = \rho_B[/tex]

[tex]\frac{P_A}{P_B} = (\frac{V^2_A d^2_A}{L_A} )*(\frac{L_B}{V^2_B d^2_B})\\\\[/tex]

The wires are connected across the same potential; [tex]V_A = V_B[/tex]

[tex]\frac{P_A}{P_B} = (\frac{ d^2_A}{L_A} )* (\frac{L_B}{d^2_B} )[/tex]

wire A has seven times the diameter and seven times the length of wire B;

[tex]\frac{P_A}{P_B} = (\frac{ (7d_B)^2}{7L_B} )* (\frac{L_B}{d^2_B} )\\\\\frac{P_A}{P_B} = \frac{49d_B^2}{7L_B} *\frac{L_B}{d^2_B} \\\\\frac{P_A}{P_B} =\frac{49}{7} \\\\\frac{P_A}{P_B} = 7\\\\P_A : P_B = 7:1[/tex]

Therefore, the ratio of the power delivered to A to power delivered to B is

7 : 1

Two guitarists attempt to play the same note of wavelength 6.50 cm at the same time, but one of the instruments is slightly out of tune. Consequently, a 17.0-Hz beat frequency is heard between the two instruments. What were the possible wavelengths of the out-of-tune guitar’s note? Express your answers, separated by commas, in centimeters to three significant figures IN cm.

Answers

Answer:

The two value of the wavelength for the out of tune guitar is  

[tex]\lambda _2 = (6.48,6.52) \ cm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The wavelength of the note is [tex]\lambda = 6.50 \ cm = 0.065 \ m[/tex]

     The difference in beat frequency is [tex]\Delta f = 17.0 \ Hz[/tex]

     

Generally the frequency of the note played by the guitar that is in tune is  

        [tex]f_1 = \frac{v_s}{\lambda}[/tex]

Where [tex]v_s[/tex] is the speed of sound with a constant value [tex]v_s = 343 \ m/s[/tex]

       [tex]f_1 = \frac{343}{0.0065}[/tex]

      [tex]f_1 = 5276.9 \ Hz[/tex]

The difference in beat is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\Delta f = |f_1 - f_2|[/tex]

Where [tex]f_2[/tex] is the frequency of the sound from the out of tune guitar

     [tex]f_2 =f_1 \pm \Delta f[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]f_2 =f_1 + \Delta f[/tex]

      [tex]f_2 = 5276.9 + 17.0[/tex]  

     [tex]f_2 = 5293.9 \ Hz[/tex]

The wavelength for this frequency is

      [tex]\lambda_2 = \frac{343 }{5293.9}[/tex]

     [tex]\lambda_2 = 0.0648 \ m[/tex]

    [tex]\lambda_2 = 6.48 \ cm[/tex]

For the second value of the second frequency

     [tex]f_2 = f_1 - \Delta f[/tex]

     [tex]f_2 = 5276.9 -17[/tex]

      [tex]f_2 = 5259.9 Hz[/tex]

The wavelength for this frequency is

   [tex]\lambda _2 = \frac{343}{5259.9}[/tex]

   [tex]\lambda _2 = 0.0652 \ m[/tex]

   [tex]\lambda _2 = 6.52 \ cm[/tex]

This question involves the concepts of beat frequency and wavelength.

The possible wavelengths of the out-of-tune guitar are "6.48 cm" and "6.52 cm".

The beat frequency is given by the following formula:

[tex]f_b=|f_1-f_2|\\\\[/tex]

f₂ = [tex]f_b[/tex] ± f₁

where,

f₂ = frequency of the out-of-tune guitar = ?

[tex]f_b[/tex] = beat frequency = 17 Hz

f₁ = frequency of in-tune guitar = [tex]\frac{speed\ of\ sound\ in\ air}{\lambda_1}=\frac{343\ m/s}{0.065\ m}=5276.9\ Hz[/tex]

Therefore,

f₂ = 5276.9 Hz ± 17 HZ

f₂ = 5293.9 Hz (OR) 5259.9 Hz

Now, calculating the possible wavelengths:

[tex]\lambda_2=\frac{speed\ of\ sound}{f_2}\\\\\lambda_2 = \frac{343\ m/s}{5293.9\ Hz}\ (OR)\ \frac{343\ m/s}{5259.9\ Hz}\\\\[/tex]

λ₂ = 6.48 cm (OR) 6.52 cm

The robot HooRU is lost in space, floating around aimlessly, and radiates heat into the depths of the cosmos at the rate of 13.1 W. HooRU's surface area is 1.55 m2 and the emissivity of its surface is 0.287. Ignoring the radiation that HooRU absorbs from the cold universe, what is HooRU's temperature T?

Answers

Answer:

The temperature is  [tex]T = 168.44 \ K[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question ewe are told that

   The rate of heat transferred is    [tex]P = 13.1 \ W[/tex]

     The surface area is  [tex]A = 1.55 \ m^2[/tex]

      The emissivity of its surface is  [tex]e = 0.287[/tex]

Generally, the rate of heat transfer is mathematically represented as

           [tex]H = A e \sigma T^{4}[/tex]

=>         [tex]T = \sqrt[4]{\frac{P}{e* \sigma } }[/tex]

where  [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the Boltzmann constant with value  [tex]\sigma = 5.67*10^{-8} \ W\cdot m^{-2} \cdot K^{-4}.[/tex]

substituting value  

             [tex]T = \sqrt[4]{\frac{13.1}{ 0.287* 5.67 *10^{-8} } }[/tex]

            [tex]T = 168.44 \ K[/tex]

That 85 kg paratrooper from the 50's was moving at constant speed of 56 m/s because the air was applying a frictional drag force to him that matched his weight. If he fell this way for 40 m, how much heat was generated by this frictional drag force in J

Answers

Answer:

46648 J

Explanation:

mass m= 85 Kg

velocity v = 56 m/s

distance covered s =40 m

According to Question,

frictional drag force to him that matched his weight

[tex]\Rightarrow F_d =mg\\=85\times9.81=833 N[/tex]

Therefore, work done by practometer against the drag force = heat was generated by this frictional drag force in J

W=Q= F_d×s

=833×56 = 46648 J

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack, who’s mass is 75 kg, 1.5 times heavier than Jill’s mass, fell down and broke his crown after climbing a 15 m high hill. Jillcame tumbling after covering the same distance as Jack in 1/3rd of the time.Required:a. Who did the most work climbing up the hill? b. Who applied the most power?

Answers

Answer:

a) Jack does more work uphill

b) Numerically, we can see that Jill applied the most power downhill

Explanation:

Jack's mass = 75 kg

Jill's mass = [tex]1.5x = 75[/tex]

Jill's mass = [tex]x = \frac{75}{1.5}[/tex] = 50 kg

distance up hill = 15 m

a) work done by Jack uphill = mgh

where g = acceleration due to gravity= 9.81 m/s^2

work = 75 x 9.81 x 15 = 11036.25 J

similarly,

Jill's work uphill = 50 x 9.81 x 15 = 7357.5 J

this shows that Jack does more work climbing up the hill

b) assuming Jack's time downhill to be t,

then Jill's time = [tex]\frac{t}{3}[/tex]

we recall that power is the rate in which work id done, i.e

P = [tex]\frac{work}{time}[/tex]

For Jack, power = [tex]\frac{11036.25}{t}[/tex]

For Jill, power =  [tex]\frac{3*7357.5}{t}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{22072.5}{t}[/tex]

Numerically, we can see that Jill applied the most power downhill

In 1949, an automobile manufacturing company introduced a sports car (the "Model A") which could accelerate from 0 to speed v in a time interval of Δt. In order to boost sales, a year later they introduced a more powerful engine (the "Model B") which could accelerate the car from 0 to speed 2.92v in the same time interval. Introducing the new engine did not change the mass of the car. Compare the power of the two cars, if we assume all the energy coming from the engine appears as kinetic energy of the car.

Answers

Answer: [tex]\frac{P_B}{P_A}[/tex] = 8.5264

Explanation: Power is the rate of energy transferred per unit of time: P = [tex]\frac{E}{t}[/tex]

The energy from the engine is converted into kinetic energy, which is calculated as: [tex]KE = \frac{1}{2}.m.v^{2}[/tex]

To compare the power of the two cars, first find the Kinetic Energy each one has:

K.E. for Model A

[tex]KE_A = \frac{1}{2}.m.v^{2}[/tex]

K.E. for model B

[tex]KE_B = \frac{1}{2}.m.(2.92v)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]KE_B = \frac{1}{2}.m.8.5264v^{2}[/tex]

Now, determine Power for each model:

Power for model A

[tex]P_{A}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{m.v^{2} }{2.t}[/tex]

Power for model B

[tex]P_B = \frac{m.8.5264.v^{2} }{2.t}[/tex]

Comparing power of model B to power of model A:

[tex]\frac{P_B}{P_A} = \frac{m.8.5264.v^{2} }{2.t}.\frac{2.t}{m.v^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{P_B}{P_A} =[/tex] 8.5264

Comparing power for each model, power for model B is 8.5264 better than model A.

Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.0 x 10-14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The repulsion from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. One cell carries -2.5pC and the other -3.30 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 3.75 × 10-6 m in radius. If the red blood cells start very far apart and move directly toward each other with the same speed.
1. What initial speed would each need so that they get close enough to just barely touch?
2. What is the maximum acceleration of the cells as they move toward each other and just barely touch?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The mass of the cell is 9.0 x 10^-14 kg

The charges of the cell is -2.5pC and the other -3.30 pC

[tex]q_1=-2.5\times10^{-12}C \ \ and \ \ q_2=-3.75\times10^{-12}C[/tex]

Radius is  3.75 × 10-6 m

The final distance is twice the radius

i.e [tex]2*(3.75 \times 10^{-6}) = 7.5*10^{-6}m[/tex]

The formula for the velocity of the cell is

[tex]mv^2=\frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi \epsilon 2 r} \\[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi \epsilon 2 r} }[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{(-2.5\times10^{-12})(-3.3\times10^{-12}}{4(3.14)(8.85\times10^{-112}(2\times3.75\times10^{-6})(9\times10^{-14})} } \\\\=\sqrt{\frac{(-8.25\times10^{-24})}{(7503.03\times10^{-32})} } \\\\=\sqrt{109955.5779} \\\\=331.60m/s[/tex]

The maximum acceleration of the cells as they move toward each other and just barely touch is

[tex]ma= \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi \epsilon (2r)^2} \\\\a= \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi \epsilon (2r)^2(m)}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{(-2.5\times10^{-12})(-3.3\times10^{-12})}{4(3.14)(8.85\times10^{-12})(2\times3.75\times10^{-6})^2(9\times10^{-14})}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{(-8.25\times10^{-24})}{(56272.725\times10^{-38})} \\\\=1.47\times10^{10}m/s^2[/tex]

The answers obtained are;

1. The initial speed of each of the red blood cells is [tex]v= 331.66\,m/s[/tex].

2. The maximum acceleration of the cells is [tex]a=1.47\times 10^{10}\,m/s^2[/tex].

The answer is explained as shown below.

We have, the mass of the red blood cell;

[tex]m=9\times 10^{-14}\,kg[/tex]

Also, the charges of the cells are;

[tex]q_1=-2.5\times 10^{-12}\,C[/tex] and[tex]q_2=-3.30\times 10^{-12}\,C[/tex]

The distance between the charges when they barely touch will be two times the radius of each charge.

[tex]r=2\times r\,'=2\times3.75\times10^{-6}\,m=7.5\times10^{-6}\,m[/tex]

Kinetic Energy of moving charges

1. As both the cells are negatively charged they will repel each other.

So, for the cells to come nearly close, their kinetic energies must be equal to the electric potential between them.[tex]\frac{1}{2}mv^2+ \frac{1}{2}mv^2=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}[/tex]Where, [tex]k=9\times10^9\,Nm^2/C^2[/tex] is the Coulomb's constant.

Now, substituting all the known values in the equation, we get;

[tex](9\times 10^{-14}\,kg)\times v^2=9\times 10^9Nm^2/C^2\times\frac{(-2.5\times 10^{-12}\,C)\times(-3.30\times 10^{-12}\,C)}{7.5\times10^{-6}\,m}[/tex]

[tex]v^2=9\times 10^9Nm^2/C^2\times\frac{(-2.5\times 10^{-12}\,C)\times(-3.30\times 10^{-12}\,C)}{7.5\times10^{-6}\,m\times(9\times 10^{-14}\,kg)} =110000\,m^2/s^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies v=\sqrt{110000\,m^2/s^2}=331.66\,m/s[/tex]

Electrostatic force between two charges

2. Also as the force between them is repulsive, there must be an acceleration to make them barely touch each other.

[tex]ma=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Substituting the known values, we get;

[tex](9\times 10^{-14}\,kg)\times a=9\times 10^9Nm^2/C^2\times\frac{(-2.5\times 10^{-12}\,C)\times(-3.30\times 10^{-12}\,C)}{(7.5\times10^{-6}\,m)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies a=9\times 10^9Nm^2/C^2\times\frac{(-2.5\times 10^{-12}\,C)\times(-3.30\times 10^{-12}\,C)}{(7.5\times10^{-6}\,m)^2\times(9\times 10^{-14}\,kg) }[/tex]

[tex]a=1.47\times 10^{10}\,m/s^2[/tex]

A skydiver stepped out of an airplane at an altitude of 1000m fell freely for 5.00s opened her parachute and slowed to 7.00m/s in a negligible time what was the total elapsed time from leaving the airplane to landing on the ground

Answers

Answer:

t = 17.68s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the total elapsed time that skydiver takes to reache the ground, you first calculate the distance traveled by the skydiver in the first 5.00s. You use the following formula:

[tex]y=y_o-v_ot-\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]            (1)

y: height for a time t

yo: initial height = 1000m

vo: initial velocity = 0m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

t: time = 5.00 s

You replace the values of the parameters to get the values of the new height of the skydiver:

[tex]y=1000m-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)(5.00s)^2\\\\y=877.5m[/tex]

Next, you take this value of 877.5m as the initial height of the second part of the trajectory of the skydiver. Furthermore, use the value of 7.00m/s as the initial velocity.

You use the same equation (1) with the values of the initial velocity and new height. We are interested in the time for which the skydiver arrives to the ground, then y = 0

[tex]0=877.5-7.00t-4.9t^2[/tex]       (2)

The equation (2) is a quadratic equation, you solve it for t with the quadratic formula:

[tex]t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-7.00)\pm \sqrt{(-7.00)^2-4(-4.9)(877.5)}}{2(-4.9)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{7.00\pm 131.33}{-9.8}\\\\t_1=12.68s\\\\t_2=-14.11s[/tex]

You use the positive value of t1 because it has physical meaning.

Finally, you sum the times of both parts of the trajectory:

total time = 5.00s + 12.68s = 17.68s

The total elapsed time taken by the skydiver to arrive to the ground from the airplane is 17.68s
