Steve is planning his annual Spring Break road trip. He pulls out his map and draws out his route to visit the five locations that he has planned for this year. They go in a counterclockwise loop and he ends up at home, where he started, just in time to start classes again. Whenever he is on the road he travels a constant 60 miles/hour. When Steve adds up the total distance traveled, as measured by his odometer, and divides it by the time that his trip took, he has measured what quantity?

a. His average velocity.
b. His average speed.
c. His instantaneous velocity.
d. His instantaneous speed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

His average speed.

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance travelled / total time .

In the given case odometer measures total distance travelled . Dividing it by time will give average speed .

Average velocity can not be the answer as it is measured by dividing displacement by time . Displacement here is zero because initial and final point are same . Instantaneous velocity is given by the speedometer . It keeps on changing all the time . It is actually speed at a particular point of time . It can not be average velocity or speed .

Mathematically, the frequency of an oscillating pendulum is given by the formula;

F = 1/2π√(k/m)

Where;

F is the frequency of oscillation.

k is the spring constant.

m is the mass of the spring.

Hence, none of the changes mentioned will increase the frequency of an oscillating pendulum.

A body of m = 6.8kg is launched with a speed of 7.5 m / s towards the top of an inclined plane of 15 ° with respect to the horizontal. in the absence of friction, what displacement does it make before reversing the direction of motion?

Answers

Answer:

d = 11.1 m

Explanation:

Since the inclined plane is frictionless, this is just a simple application of the conservation law of energy:

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

Let d be the displacement along the inclined plane. Note that the height h in terms of d and the angle is as follows:

[tex] \sin(15) = \frac{h}{d} \\ or \: h = d \sin(15) [/tex]

Plugging this into the energy conservation equation and cancelling m, we get

[tex] {v}^{2} = 2gd \sin(15)[/tex]

Solving for d,

[tex]d = \frac{ {v}^{2} }{2g \sin(15) } = \frac{ {(7.5 \: \frac{m}{s}) }^{2} }{2(9.8 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} })(0.259)} \\ = 11.1 \: m[/tex]

A standard parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery and is given enough time to charge fully. After it is fully charged, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery. After that, prankster Bob comes along and pulls the plates further apart from each other, doubling the distance d between the plates. How do the following quantities change? The choices are: quadruple, double, stay the same, halve, or quarter.
a) Capacitance
b) Charge on the capacitor
c) Voltage across the capacitor
d) Electric field within the capacitor
e) Energy stored in the capacitor
f) Does Bob have to do work in order to pull the plates apart? (Yes or no, and a brief explanation)
g) Are parts (e) and (f) consistent, given that the battery was disconnected?

Answers

Answer:

a) capacitance is doubled., b)  Q = cte, c) oltage doubling the distance doubles, d)    ΔE =0, e)  U = Q² / 2C, f) W>0

Explanation:

he capacitance of a condensate is

          C =[tex]\frac{ Q}{ \Delta V} =\epsilon_o \frac{A}{d}[/tex]

let's use this expression to answer the question

a) Capacitance.

Without distance, the capacitance is doubled.

Answer: Half

b) The charge.

As the battery is disconnected, no more electrons reach the capacitor, so the charge remains the same

           Q = cte

c) the voltage

          ΔV = E d = ([tex](\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o A}) \ d[/tex]

so the voltage doubling the distance doubles

d) The electric field between parallel plates is constant

           E = Q / A eo

           E =0

e) The stored energy is described by the expression

          U = Q² / 2C

as capacitance decreases and discant increases, stored energy increases

f) The work to separate the positive charge, that the force must be in the same direction as the electric force

g) when the battery is disconnected the energy in the capacitor remains constant

In a cloud chamber experiment, a proton enters a uniform 0.260 T magnetic field directed perpendicular to its motion. You measure the proton's path on a photograph and find that it follows a circular arc of radius 6.42 cm.

Required:
How fast was the proton moving?

Answers

Answer:

the proton speed of the proton was 1.6 × 10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Radius r = 6.42 cm = 0.0642 m

magnetic field B = 0.260 T

we know that; charge of proton q = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

And mass of proton m = 1.672 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

we know that; Magnetic Force F = qvBsinθ

where q is the charge of proton, v is velocity, B is the magnetic field and θ is  angle ( 90° )

Also the Centripetal force experienced by the particle is;

F = mv² / r

where r is radius, m is mass of proton and v is velocity

hence;

qvBsinθ = mv² / r

we solve for v

rqvBsinθ = mv²

divide both sides by mv

rqvBsinθ / mv = mv² / mv

rqBsinθ / m = v

so we substitute

v = [ 0.0642 m × (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C) × 0.260 T × sin(90°) ] /  1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = 2.6740584 × 10⁻²¹ / 1.672 × 10⁻²⁷

v = 1.6 × 10⁶ m/s

Therefore, the proton speed of the proton was 1.6 × 10⁶ m/s

A 30-N iPad is dropped from a height of 10 m and strikes the ground with a speed of 13 m/s.
What average force of air friction acted on the iPad as it fell?​

Answers

Answer:

Initially the PE of the object was W * h = 30 * 10 = 300 Joules

The KE of the object when it struck the ground was 1/2 M v^2

KE = 1/2 * 30/9.8 * 13^2 = 259 J

So the object lost 41 J to friction during the fall

Since Work = Force * distance

Force = 41 J / 10 m = 4.1 N  (the average force of friction)

A student decides to give his bicycle a tune up. He flips it upside down (so there's no friction with the ground) and applies a force of 34 N over 0.6 seconds to the pedal, which has a length of 16.5 cm. If the back wheel has a radius of 33.0 cm and moment of inertia of 1200 kg cm^2, what is the tangential velocity of the rim of the back wheel in m/s

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V=9.2565m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force [tex]F = 34 N[/tex]  

Time [tex]t = 0.6 s[/tex]

Length of pedal [tex]l_p=16.5cm \approx0.165m[/tex]

Radius of wheel [tex]r = 33 cm = 0.33 m[/tex]

Moment of inertia, [tex]I = 1200 kgcm2 = 0.12 kg.m2[/tex]

Generally the equation for Torque on pedal [tex]\mu[/tex] is mathematically given by

[tex]\mu=F*L\\\mu=34*0.165[/tex]

[tex]\mu=5.61N.m[/tex]

Generally the equation for  angular acceleration [tex]\alpha[/tex] is mathematically given by

 [tex]\alpha=\frac{\mu}{l}[/tex]

 [tex]\alpha=\frac{5.61}{0.12}[/tex]

 [tex]\alpha=46.75[/tex]

Therefore Angular speed is \omega

[tex]\omega=\alpha*t[/tex]

[tex]\omega=(46.75)*(0.6)[/tex]

[tex]\omega=28.05rad/s[/tex]

Generally the equation for  Tangential velocity V is mathematically given by

[tex]V=r\omega[/tex]

[tex]V=(0.33)(28.05)[/tex]

[tex]V=9.2565m/s[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Efficiency = 77%

Explanation:

Input energy = 570 J

Output energy = 440 J

To find the efficiency;

[tex] Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100 [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] Efficiency = \frac {440}{570} * 100 [/tex]

[tex] Efficiency = 0.7719 * 100 [/tex]

Efficiency = 77.19 ≈ 77%

Therefore, the efficiency of the engine is 77 percent.

The blending of the fundamental tone with overtones produces the __?__of an instrument.

Answers

Answer:

The blending of the fundamental tone with overtones produces the Sound Quality of Musical Instruments of an instrument.

The blending of the fundamental tone with overtones produces the sound quality of Musical Instruments  of an instrument.

The tone of a sound wave determines the timbre, also known as timber, of the auditory impressions it creates. The wave structure of a sound, which varies with the amount of overtones, or harmonics, present, their frequencies, and their relative intensities, determines the timbre of the sound.Resonance is a common technique used by musical instruments to enhance sound waves and increase volume. When an object vibrates in response to sound waves of a particular frequency, this is known as resonance.

What are tones and overtones?Aside from a simple sine wave, the fundamental tone and numerous additional tones of various frequencies make up the waveforms of all sounds. Overtones or harmonics are non-fundamental tones that are whole-number multiples of the fundamental tone.

Suppose you observe a star orbiting the galactic center at a speed of 1400 km/s in a circular orbit with a radius of 26 light-days. Calculate the mass of the object that the star is orbiting. Express your answer in solar masses to two significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

M = 9.9 x 10⁶ Solar masses

Explanation:

Here the centripetal force is given by the gravitational force between star and the object:

[tex]Gravitational\ Force = Centripetal\ Force \\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GmM}{r^2}\\\\M = \frac{v^2r}{G}[/tex]

where,

M = Mass of Object = ?

v = orbital speed of star = 1400 km/s = 1400000 m/s

G = Universal Gravittaional Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

r = distance between star and object = (26 light-days)(2.59 x 10¹³ m/1 light-day) = 6.735 x 10¹⁴ m

Therefore,

[tex]M = \frac{(1400000\ m/s)^2(6.735\ x\ 10^{14}\ m)}{6.67\ x \ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2}[/tex]
