48 m/s

64 m/s

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) yes

b) no

c) yes

d)Cart 2 with mass [tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex]   is expected to be more faster

e) u₂ = 48 m/s

Explanation:

a) the all out linear momentum of an arrangement of particles of Cart 1 not followed up on by external forces is constant.

b) the linear momentum of Cart 2 will be acted upon by external force by Cart 1 with mass M, thereby it's variable and the momentum is not conserved

c) yes, the momentum is conserved because no external force acted upon it and both Carts share the same velocity after the reaction

note: m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v

d) Cart 2 with mass [tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] will be faster than Cart 1 because Cart 2 is three times lighter than Cart 1.

e) Given

m₁=  M

u₁ = 16m/s

m₂ =[tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex]

u₂ = ?

from law of conservation of momentum

m₁u₁= m₂u₂

M× 16 = [tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] × u₂(multiply both sides by 3)

therefore, u₂ = [tex]\frac{3(M .16)}{M}[/tex] ("." means multiplication)

∴u₂ = 3×16 = 48 m/s

At what temperature will silver have a resistivity that is two times the resistivity of iron at room temperature? (Assume room temperature is 20° C.)

Answers

Answer:

The temperature of silver at this given resistivity is 2971.1 ⁰C

Explanation:

The resistivity of silver is calculated as follows;

[tex]R_t = R_o[1 + \alpha(T-T_o)]\\\\[/tex]

where;

Rt is the resistivity of silver at the given temperature

Ro is the resistivity of silver at room temperature

α is the temperature coefficient of resistance

To is the room temperature

T is the temperature at which the resistivity of silver will be two times the resistivity of iron at room temperature

[tex]R_t = R_o[1 + \alpha(T-T_o)]\\\\\R_t = 1.59*10^{-8}[1 + 0.0038(T-20)][/tex]

Resistivity of iron at room temperature = 9.71 x 10⁻⁸ ohm.m

When silver's resistivity becomes 2 times the resistivity of iron, we will have the following equations;

[tex]R_t,_{silver} = 2R_o,_{iron}\\\\1.59*10^{-8}[1 + 0.0038(T-20)] =(2 *9.71*10^{-8})\\\\\ \ (divide \ through \ by \ 1.59*10^{-8})\\\\1 + 0.0038(T-20) = 12.214\\\\1 + 0.0038T - 0.076 = 12.214\\\\0.0038T +0.924 = 12.214\\\\0.0038T = 12.214 - 0.924\\\\0.0038T = 11.29\\\\T = \frac{11.29}{0.0038} \\\\T = 2971.1 \ ^0C[/tex]

Therefore, the temperature of silver at this given resistivity is 2971.1 ⁰C

Wind gusts create ripples on the ocean that have a wavelength of 3.03 cm and propagate at 3.37 m/s. What is their frequency (in Hz)?

Answers

Answer:

Their frequency is 111.22 Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration and is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation speed of a wave is the quantity that measures the speed at which the wave's disturbance propagates throughout its displacement. The speed at which the wave propagates depends on both the type of wave and the medium through which it propagates. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

Then the frequency can be calculated as: f=v÷λ

In this case:

λ=3.03 cm=0.0303 m (1m=100 cm)v= 3.37 m/s

Replacing:

[tex]f=\frac{3.37 \frac{m}{s} }{0.0303 m}[/tex]

Solving:

f=111.22 Hz

Their frequency is 111.22 Hz

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

Answers

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

Four identical charges particles of charge 1Uc, 2Uc,
3Uc and 4Uc
are placed at x = lm, x=2m,
x=3m and
x=5m. The electric field intensity
at origin is?

Answers

Answer:

17.94 kN/C is the electric field intensity at the origin due to the charges.

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that

The distance of 1 μC from origin = 1 m

The distance of 2 μC from origin = 2 m

The distance of 3 μC from origin = 3 m

The distance of 4 μC from origin = 5 m

Therefore, for us to find the electric field intensity, we'll solve below:

The formula for Electric field intensity = ( k * q ) / ( r * r )

where , r is distance ,

k = 9 * 10^9 ,

and , q is charge .

now ,

electric field intensity at the origin = [ k * 10^(-6) / 1 * 1 ] +[ k * 2 * 10^(-6) / 2 * 2 ] + [ k * 3 * 10^(-6) / 3 * 3 ] + [ k * 4 * 10^(-6) / 5 * 5 ]

=> electric field intensity at the origin = k * 10^(-6) [ 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 4/25 ] N/C

=> electric field intensity at the origin = 9 * 10^9 * 10^(-6) * 1.99 N/C

=> electric field intensity at the origin = 17.94 kN/C

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.)

Answers

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

Answer:

The  angular speed is [tex]w = 5.89 \ rad/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The time taken is  [tex]t = 1.6 s[/tex]

    The number of somersaults  is n  =  1.5

The total angular displacement during the somersault is mathematically represented as

         [tex]\theta = n * 2 * \pi[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]\theta = 1.5 * 2 * 3.142[/tex]

       [tex]\theta = 9.426 \ rad[/tex]

 The angular speed is mathematically represented as

         [tex]w = \frac{\theta }{t}[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]w = \frac{9.426}{1.6}[/tex]

          [tex]w = 5.89 \ rad/s[/tex]
