Answer:
The number of molecules displaced in a vibration makes the amplitude of a sound.
2. If rain is falling vertically downward, and you are running for shelter, should you hold your umbrella
vertically, tilted forward, or tilted backward to keep the driest? Please explain.
Answer:
Tilted forward to keep the driest.
Explanation:
The rain is falling vertically so there is no wind. In these circumstances the umbrella should be tilted vertically forward.
The situation is the same as if you would stand still and the rain would come under an angle from the front.
Two vectors having magnitudes of 5.00 and 9.00 respectively. If the value of their dot product is 12.0, find the angle between the two vectors.
Answer:
C = 74.53°
Explanation:
Let the magnitudes of 5.00 and 9.00 be vectors A and B respectively, hence the dot product of this vector is defined as
A.B = |A||B|cosC; let C be the angle between the vectors
12 = 5×9 cos C
Hence cos C = 12/45
C = cos^-1(12/45)
C = 74.53°
Two parallel plates having charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign are separated by 21.0 cm. Each plate has a surface charge density of 39.0 nC/m2. A proton is released from rest at the positive plate. (a) Determine the magnitude of the electric field between the plates from the charge density.
Answer:
E = 3.45*10^-19 N/C
Explanation:
a) The electric field between two parallel plates id given by the following formula:
[tex]E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}[/tex] (1)
where:
σ: surface charge density of the plates = 39.0nC/m^2
εo: dielectric permittivity of vacuum = 8.85*10^-12 C/Nm^2
You replace these values in the equation (1):
[tex]E=\frac{39.0*10^{-9}C/m^2}{8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2}\\\\E=3.45*10^{-19}\frac{N}{C}[/tex]
The electric field in between the parallel plates is 3.45*10^-19 N/C
A dimension is a physical nature of a quantity.
(i) give two (2) limitations of dimensional analysis..
(ii) if velocity (v), time (T) and force (F) were chosen as basic quantities, find the dimensions of mass?
Answer:
i) A dimension is the physical nature of a quantity. The two limitations of dimensional analysis is as following:
Dimesnional analysis is unable to derive relation when a physical quantity depends on more than three factors with dimensions. It is unable to derive a formula that contain exponential function, trigonometric function, and logarithmic function.ii) Given:
Velocity = v
Time = t
Force = F
Force = mass x acceleration
= mass x velocity/time
So, mass= (force x time) / velocity
[mass] = Ftv^-1
Hence, dimesnion of mass is Ftv^-1.
A woman with mass 50 kg is standing on the rim of a large disk that is rotating at 0.80 rev/s about an axis through its center. The disk has mass 110 kg and radius 4.0 m. Calculate the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the woman–disk system. (Assume that you can treat the woman as a point.)
Answer:
The angular momentum is [tex]L = 8440.32 \ kg \cdot m^2 \cdot s^{-1}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the woman is [tex]m = 50 \ kg[/tex]
The angular speed of the rim is [tex]w = 0.80 \ rev/s = 0.8 * [\frac{2 \pi}{1} ] = 5.024 \ rad \cdot s^{-1}[/tex]
The mass of the disk is [tex]m_d = 110 \ kg[/tex]
The radius of the disk is [tex]r_d = 4.0 \ m[/tex]
The moment of inertia of the disk is mathematically represented as
[tex]I_D = \frac{1}{2} m_d r^2_d[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]I_D = \frac{1}{2} * 110 * 4^2[/tex]
[tex]I_D = 880 \ kg \cdot m^2[/tex]
The moment of inertia of the woman is
[tex]I_w = m * r_d^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]I_w = 50 * 4^2[/tex]
[tex]I_w =800\ kg[/tex]
The moment of inertia of the system (the woman + the large disk ) is
[tex]I_t = I_w + I_D[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]I_t = 880 +800[/tex]
[tex]I_t =1680 \ kg \cdot m^2[/tex]
The angular momentum of the system is
[tex]L = I_t w[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]L = 1680 * 5.024[/tex]
[tex]L = 8440.32 \ kg \cdot m^2 \cdot s^{-1}[/tex]
