Converting compound units
You would like to know whether silicon will float in mercury and you know that can determine this based on their densities. Unfortunately, you have the density of mercury in units of kilogram/meter3 and the density of silicon in other units: 2.33 gram/centimeter3. You decide to convert the density of silicon into units of kilogram/meter3 to perform the comparison. By which combination of conversion factors will you multiply 2.33 gram/centimeter3 to perform the unit conversion?
Answer:
Dividing the silicon density by 1000 and then multiply it by 1000000.
Explanation:
A kilogram equals 1000 grams and a cubic meter equals 1000000 cubic centimeters. Hence, we must divide the silicon density by 1000 and then multiply itby 1000000 to convert the value into kilograms per cubic centimeter. That is:
[tex]x = 2.33\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}}\times \frac{1\,kg}{1000\,g}\times \frac{1000000\,cm^{3}}{1\,m^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2330\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}[/tex]
In a nutshell, we must multiply the density of silicon by 1000 to obtains its value in kilograms per cubic meter.
Two identical items, object 1 and object 2, are dropped from the top of a 50.0m50.0m building. Object 1 is dropped with an initial velocity of 0m/s0m/s, while object 2 is thrown straight downward with an initial velocity of 13.0m/s13.0m/s. What is the difference in time, in seconds rounded to the nearest tenth, between when the two objects hit the ground
Answer:
Δt = 1.1 s
Explanation:
Given information:
H= 50.0 m
g= 9.8 m/s²
Object 1v₀ = 0[tex]H = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2}[/tex]
Solving for t, we get:
t₁= 3.2 s
Object 2v₀ = 13 m/sWe can find the final velocity for the object when it hits the ground, using the following expression:
[tex]v_{f}^{2} - v_{o}^{2} = 2*g*H[/tex]
Solving for vf, we get:
vf = 33.9 m/s
Applying the definition of acceleration, being this acceleration the one due to gravity (g), we can write the following equation:
[tex]v_{f} = v_{o} + g*t[/tex]
(Assuming the downward direction to be positive).
Solving for t, we get:
t₂ = 2.1 s
So the difference in time when both objects hit the ground, it's simply
Δt = t₂ - t₁ = 3.2 s - 2.1 s = 1.1 s
A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, increasing its speed from zero to 7.63 m/s in 3.94 s. What is the magnitude of the linear impulse experienced by a 73.7 kg passenger in the car during this time? Submit Answer Tries 0/20 What is the average force experienced by the passenger?
Answer:
1. p = 562.3 kg*m/s
2. F = 142.7 N
Explanation:
1. The linear impulse (p) is given by:
[tex] p = mv [/tex]
Where:
m: is the passenger's mass = 73.7 kg
v: is the speed = 7.63 m/s
[tex] p = mv = 73.7 kg*7.63 m/s = 562.3 kg*m/s [/tex]
Hence, the magnitude of the linear impulse experienced by a passenger is 562.3 kg*m/s.
2. The average force can be calculated using the following equation:
[tex] F = \frac{m(v_{f} - v_{0})}{t} = \frac{73.7 kg(7.63 m/s - 0)}{3.94 s} = 142.7 N [/tex]
Therefore, the average force experienced by the passenger is 142.7 N.

A car moving with an intial velocity of 60m/s is brought to rest in 30 seconds calculate the acceleration
Answer:
a = 2 [m/s^2]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics, we must bear in mind that when a body is at rest its velocity is zero.
[tex]v_{f} = v_{i} - (a*t)[/tex]
where:
Vf = final velocity = 0
Vi = initial velocity = 60 [m/s]
a = desacceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 30 [s]
Note: the negative sign of the above equation means that the car is slowing down, i.e. its speed decreases.
0 = 60 - (a*30)
a = 2 [m/s^2]

Answer:
(a) 0.829 m/s
(b) 3.27 m/s
(c) 0.000153 m²
55.8%
Explanation:
(a) Flow rate equals velocity times cross-sectional area. (1 L = 0.001 m³)
Q = vA
(0.001 m³ / 2.00 s) = v (48 × π (0.002 m)²)
v = 0.829 m/s
(b) Use Bernoulli equation. Choose point 1 to be the exit of the pump, and point 2 to be exit of the shower head. Choose 0 elevation to be at point 1.
P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂
(1.50 atm × 1.0×10⁵ Pa/atm) + ½ (1000 kg/m³) v² + 0 = (1 atm × 1.0×10⁵ Pa/atm) + ½ (1000 kg/m³) (0.829 m/s)² + (1000 kg/m³) (10 m/s²) (5.50 m)
1.50×10⁵ Pa + (500 kg/m³) v² = 1×10⁵ Pa + 414.5 Pa + 55000 Pa
v = 3.27 m/s
(c) Flow rate is constant.
Q = vA
(0.001 m³ / 2.00 s) = (3.27 m/s) A
A = 0.000153 m²
Flow rate is proportional to the pressure difference and the radius raised to the fourth power.
Q ∝ ΔP r⁴
Q₂/Q₁ = (ΔP₂/ΔP₁) (r₂/r₁)⁴
Q₂/Q₁ = (1.120) (0.840)⁴
Q₂/Q₁ = 0.558
The flow decreases to 55.8% of the original value.
Answer:
Explanation:
Regarding the point of "Flow rate is proportional to the pressure difference and the radius raised to the fourth power", flow rate depends on pressure, cross-section area and speed. As speed also depends on cross-section area, flow rate becomes dependent on pressure and cross-section area squared.
In a round pipe like blood vessel, the cross-section area is equal to pi*radius squared. So flow rate is proportional to the pressure difference and (radius squared) squared; i.e. the radius raised to the fourth power.
The new flow rate = (1.12)*(0.84)^4
=0.5576 or 55.76% of the original flow rate

A) FRP = 40 lb (along +x-dir.) and MRP = +60 ft.lb
B) FRP = 0 lb and MRP = +30 ft.lb
C) FRP 30 lb (along +y-dir.) and MRP = -30 ft.lb
D) FRP 40 lb (along +x-dir.) and MRP = +30 ft.lb
Answer:
D) FRP 40 lb (along +x-dir.) and MRP = +30 ft.lb
Explanation:
From the figure in the image i uploaded along this answer;
FRP = ( 40 lb i + 30 lb j ) + [30 lb (-j)]
Where i and j are the unit vectors along X & Y axis respectively.
So, FRP = 40 lb i
that is, FRP = 40 lb along +X direction
MRP = [ 30 lb x ( 1 ' + 1' ) ] +( -30 lb x 1 ' )
= (30 lb x 2 ' )- 30 lb ft
= 60 lb ft - 30 lb ft
= 30 lb ft

(iii) Why do right angle mirrors produce three images of the object?
Explanation:
The two mirrors inclined to each other formed the first two images with are of the same size as the object while the third mirror is produced from the intersection of rays that emanated during the production of the first two images to produce a third image which is smaller than the object and there making the total number of images to be 3.
Hence this mirrors produces 3 images due to the third image formed from the intersection of the rays that produces the first two images.
The formula that relates the image produced by inclined mirror and the angle of inclination is expressed as:
number of images n = 360/θ - 1
θ is the angle of inclination of the two mirrors
n is the number of images
If the mirrors are inclined at right angles, then θ = 90°
Substitute into the formula;
n = 360/90 -1
n = 36/9 -1
n = 4-1
n = 3
A pile of bricks of mass M is being raised to the tenth floor of a building of height H = 4y above the ground by a crane that is on top of the building. During the first part of the lift, the crane lifts the bricks a vertical distance h1=3y in a time t1=4T. During the second part of the lift, the crane lifts the bricks a vertical distance h2=y in t2=T. Which of the following correctly relates the power P1 generated by the crane during the first part of the lift to the power P2 generated by the crane during the second part of the lift?
A. P2=4P1
B. P2=43P1
C. P2=P1
D. P2=34P1
E. P2=13P1
Answer:
The correct option is B
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the pile is M
The height is H = 4 y
The vertical distance achieve during the first lift is [tex]h_1 = 3 y[/tex]
The time taken is [tex]t_1 = 4T [/tex]
The vertical distance achieve during the second lift is [tex]h_2 = y[/tex]
The time taken is [tex] t_2 = T [/tex]
Generally the velocity of the crane during the first lift is
[tex]v _1 = \frac{h_1}{t_1 }[/tex]
=> [tex]v _1 = \frac{3 y}{4T }[/tex]
Generally the velocity of the crane during the second lift is
[tex]v _2 = \frac{h_2}{t_2 }[/tex]
=> [tex]v _2 = \frac{ y}{T}[/tex]
Generally the power generated by the crane during the first lift is
[tex]P_1 = F_1 * v_1[/tex]
Here [tex]F_1[/tex] is the weight of the brick which is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_1 = M * g [/tex] , g is the acceleration due to gravity
So
[tex]P_1 = Mg * \frac{3y}{4T}[/tex]
Generally the power generated by the crane during the first lift is
[tex]P_1 = F_2 * v_2[/tex]
Here [tex]F_2[/tex] is the weight of the brick which is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_2 = M * g [/tex] , g is the acceleration due to gravity
So
[tex]P_1 = Mg * \frac{y}{T}[/tex]
The ratio of the first power generated to the second power is
[tex]\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{Mg * \frac{3y}{4T} }{ Mg * \frac{y}{T} }[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
=> [tex]P_2 = \frac{4}{3} P_1[/tex]

Answer:
The acceleration of the box is 0.67 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of box = 30.0 kg
Horizontal force = 230 N
Friction force = 210 N
We need to calculate the acceleration of the box
Using balance equation
[tex]F-f_{k}=ma[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{F-f_{k}}{m}[/tex]
Where, F = horizontal force
[tex]f_{k}[/tex] =frictional force
m= mass of box
a = acceleration
Put the value into the formula
[tex]a=\dfrac{230-210}{30}[/tex]
[tex]a=0.67\ m/s^2[/tex]
Hence, The acceleration of the box is 0.67 m/s²

What measurements would you make (assuming you have the money, time, & equipment) to determine a star’s surface temperature? Explain your answer.
Answer:
use special filters on the telescope
Explanation:
Assuming you have access to a very high-grade telescope you would need to use special filters on the telescope that allows you to view the star's color spectrum. The color spectrum represents different levels of heat that a star is generating. This spectrum ranges from red to blue. Therefore in order to calculate the surface temperature, you would need to apply both a blue and red filter onto the telescope. Once you have these measurements you would need to compare them in order to pinpoint the correct variation of color which would give a close enough estimate of the surface temperature of the star.

If vector A = 6i - 2j + 3k, determine
(a) A vector in the same direction as A with magnitude 2A
(b) A unit vector in the direction of A
(c) a vector opposite to A with magnitude of 4 m
Answer:
(a) [tex]2\vec A=12\hat i-4\hat j+6\hat k[/tex]
(b) [tex]\displaystyle \vec{U_A}=12/7\hat i-4/7\hat j+6/7\hat k[/tex]
(c) [tex]-4\vec{U_A}=-48/7\hat i+16/7\hat j-24/7\hat k[/tex]
Explanation:
Vectors
Given a vector
[tex]\vec A=6\hat i-2\hat j+3\hat k[/tex]
We must determine the following:
a) A vector in the same direction as A with double magnitude 2A.
If the vector goes in the same direction but has a different magnitude, we only need to multiply each component by a common factor, in this case, by 2. Thus, the required vector is:
[tex]2\vec A=12\hat i-4\hat j+6\hat k[/tex]
b) A unit vector in the same direction of A.
The unit vector needs to compute the magnitude of the vector:
[tex]\mid A\mid=\sqrt{6^2+2^2+3^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mid A\mid=\sqrt{36+4+9}=\sqrt{49}=7[/tex]
[tex]\mid A\mid=7[/tex]
The unit vector is:
[tex]\displaystyle \vec{U_A}=\frac{\vec A}{\mid \vec A\mid}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \vec{U_A}=\frac{12\hat i-4\hat j+6\hat k}{7}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \vec{U_A}=12/7\hat i-4/7\hat j+6/7\hat k[/tex]
c) A vector opposite to A with magnitude 4 m. We assume the original vector is also expressed in m.
The opposite vector to A is obtained simply by multiplying the unit vector by -1. To make its magnitude equal to 4, also multiply by 4. In all, we multiply the unit vector by -4:
[tex]-4\vec{U_A}=-4(12/7\hat i-4/7\hat j+6/7\hat k)[/tex]
[tex]-4\vec{U_A}=-48/7\hat i+16/7\hat j-24/7\hat k[/tex]

What is the magnitude of the net force acting on this object?
Answer:
The net force on an object is the total force applied on the object after adding up all the forces
In the given diagram,
we can see that the 2 forces of 4N and 4N will cancel each other out since they are equal and in the opposite direction
Now, we are left with a force of 2N and 10N,
the net force will be the difference of these forces:
Net force = 10N - 2N
Net force = 8N downwards
Another way to do it:
The two 4N forces will be cancelled out,
and we are left with a 2N and a 10N force
(notice how we cancelled equal and opposite forces for the 4N)
We can divide the 10N force into (2N + 8N)
Since the 2N forces are equal and opposite, they will be cancelled out
and we will be left with a net force of 8N downwards

(A) E/8
(B) E 78.
(C) E/2
(D) 2E
(E) 8E
Answer:
A ) E/8
Explanation:
If the sphere of radius R carries charge Q, then the volumetric charge density is:
ρ₁ = [Q/ (4/3)*π*R³]
Therefore the net charge inside r ( r < R ) is:
q₁ = ρ * (4/3)*π*r³
And E = K * q₁/r K = 9,98 *10⁹ [N*m²/C²]
E = K * ρ * (4/3)*π*r³/r
E = K * ρ * (4/3)*π*r²
If now the charge is distributed over a sphere of radius 2R
ρ₂ = [Q/ (4/3)*π*(2R)³]
ρ₂ = [Q/ (4/3)*π*8*R³]
Then ρ₂ < ρ₁ in fact ρ₂ = (1/8)*ρ₁
The electric field depends on the net charge enclosed by a gaussian surface, and the distance between the net charge and the considered point, ( considering the net charge as being at the center of the gaussian surface) In this case, there was no distance change then

Explanation:
(a) Use Bernoulli equation.
P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂
0 + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = 0 + ½ ρ v₂² + 0
½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = ½ ρ v₂²
½ v₁² + gh₁ = ½ v₂²
½ (25.0 cm/s)² + (980 cm/s²) (5.00 cm) = ½ v²
v = 102 cm/s
(b) The flow rate is constant.
v₁ A₁ = v₂ A₂
(25.0 cm/s) (2.00 cm²) = (102 cm/s) A
A = 0.490 cm²
What is the speaker’s power output if the sound intensity level is 102 dBdB at a distance of 25 mm ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Answer:
Power = 124.50 W
Explanation:
Given that:
The Sound intensity of a speaker output is 102 dB
and the distance r = 25 m
For the intensity of sound,
[tex]\beta (dB)= 10 \ log_{10 } (\dfrac{I}{I_o})[/tex]
where;
the threshold of hearing [tex]I_o = 10^{-12} (W/m^2)[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{102 }{10}= log_{10}( \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}})[/tex]
[tex]10^{10.2} = \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}[/tex]
[tex]I = 10^{10.2} \times 10^{-12}[/tex]
I = 0.01585 W/m²
If we recall, we know remember that ;
Power = Intensity × A rea
Power = 0.01585 W/m² × 4 × 3.142 × (25 m)²
Power = 124.50 W

On our Moon, the strength of earth’s gravity is only 1/6th of the normal value. If a pendulum on Earth has a period of 4.9 seconds, what is the period of that same pendulum on the moon?
Answer:
The period of that same pendulum on the moon is 12.0 seconds.
Explanation:
To determine the period of that same pendulum on the moon,
First, we will determine the value of g (which is a measure of the strength of Earth's gravity) on the Moon. Let the value of g on the Moon be [tex]g_{M}[/tex].
From the question, the strength of earth’s gravity is only 1/6th of the normal value. The normal value of g is 9.8 m/s²
∴ [tex]g_{M}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{6} \times 9.8 m/s^{2}[/tex]
[tex]g_{M}[/tex] = 1.63 m/s²
From the question, T=2π√L/g
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }[/tex]
We can write that,
[tex]T_{E} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_{E} } }[/tex] .......... (1)
Where [tex]T_{E}[/tex] is the period of the pendulum on Earth and [tex]g_{E}[/tex] is the measure of the strength of Earth's gravity
and
[tex]T_{M} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_{M} } }[/tex] .......... (2)
Where [tex]T_{M}[/tex] is the period of the pendulum on Moon and [tex]g_{M}[/tex] is the measure of the strength of Earth's gravity on the Moon.
Since we are to determine the period of the same pendulum on the moon, then, [tex]2\pi[/tex] and [tex]L[/tex] are constants.
Dividing equation (1) by (2), we get
[tex]\frac{T_{E} }{T_{M} } = \sqrt{\frac{g_{M} }{g_{E} } }[/tex]
From the question,
[tex]T_{E} = 4.9secs[/tex]
[tex]g_{E}[/tex] = 9.8 m/s²
[tex]g_{M}[/tex] = 1.63 m/s²
[tex]T_{M}[/tex] = ??
From,
[tex]\frac{T_{E} }{T_{M} } = \sqrt{\frac{g_{M} }{g_{E} } }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4.9}{T_{M} } = \sqrt{\frac{1.63}{9.8} }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4.9}{T_{M} } = 0.40783[/tex]
[tex]T_{M} =\frac{4.9}{0.40783 }[/tex]
[tex]T_{M} = 12.01 secs[/tex]
∴ [tex]T_{M} = 12.0secs[/tex]
Hence, the period of that same pendulum on the moon is 12.0 seconds.
Answer:
The period of that same pendulum on the moon is 12.0 s
Explanation:
Given;
period of a pendulum’s swinging, T=2π√L/g
the strength of earth’s gravity on moon, g₂ = ¹/₆(g₁)
period of pendulum on Earth, T₁ = 4.9 s
period of pendulum on moon, T₂ = ?
The length of the pendulum is constant, make it the subject of the formula;
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }\\\\\frac{T}{2\pi} = \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\(\frac{T}{2\pi} )^2 =\frac{L}{g}\\\\\frac{T^2}{4\pi^2} = \frac{L}{g}\\\\ L = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\L_1 = L_2\\\\\frac{g_1T_1^2}{4\pi^2}= \frac{g_2T_2^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\g_1T_1^2 = g_2T_2^2\\\\T_2^2 = \frac{g_1T_1^2}{g_2} \\\\T_2 = \sqrt{\frac{g_1T_1^2}{g_2}}\\\\ T_2 = \sqrt{\frac{g_1T_1^2}{g_1/6}}\\\\ T_2 = \sqrt{\frac{6*g_1T_1^2}{g_1}}\\\\T_2 = \sqrt{6T_1^2}\\\\ T_2 = T_1\sqrt{6} \\\\T_2 = (4.9)\sqrt{6}\\\\ T_2 = 12.0 \ s[/tex]
Therefore, the period of that same pendulum on the moon is 12.0 s
