Why does the needle of a compass point north?
a. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet repels it.
b. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north.
Because the northern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north
d. Because the Earth's core is made of steel.
C.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north.

Explanation:

This is very weird to think about but Earth's southern magnetic pole is in Earth's geographic north. So when compass points north, it is actually getting attracted to the southern magnetic pole (that is actually located in the north direction- geographic location- in earth).

A tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone with height 16m and base radius 3m. The tank is filled with water to a height of 9m. Find the work required to empty the tank by pumping all of the water over the top of the tank. Use the fact that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/sec2 and the density of water is 1000kg/m3. Round your answer to the nearest kilojoule.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]W=17085KJ[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height [tex]H=16m[/tex]

Radius [tex]R=3[/tex]

Height of water [tex]H_w=9m[/tex]

Gravity [tex]g=9.8m/s[/tex]

Density of water [tex]\rho=1000kg/m^3[/tex]

Generally the equation for Volume of water is mathematically given by

 [tex]dv=\pi*r^2dy[/tex]

 [tex]dv=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy[/tex]

Where

   y is a random height taken to define dv

Generally the equation for Work done to pump water is mathematically given by

 [tex]dw=(pdv)g (H-y)[/tex]

Substituting dv

 [tex]dw=(p(=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy))g (H-y)[/tex]

 [tex]dw=\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3dy[/tex]

Therefore

If a sled has a mass of 4kg what is the force of gravity on the sled?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravity pulls everything down at the same rate of 9.8 m/s/s. If you're looking for the normal force, which is the same as the weight of the object, we'll find that, just in case.

w = mg which says that the normal force/weight of an object is equal to its mass times the pull of gravity:

w = 4.0(9.8) so

w = 39N

A rookie quarter back throws a football with an initial upward velocity component of 12.0 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 20.0 m/s. Ignore resistance. How much time is required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory

Answers

Answer:

t = 1.22 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial upward velocity component of a football = 12 m/s

The horizontal velocity component is 20 m/s

We need to find the time required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory. Let the time is t.

Using first equation of motion to solve it such that,

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]

u is initial velocity

v is final velocity

a = -g

so,

[tex]t=\dfrac{u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{12}{9.8}\\\\t=1.22\ s[/tex]

So, the required time taken by the football to reach the highest point is 1.22 seconds.

The equation provided (from the textbook) first defines the elastic potential energy of a spring as ΔUsp = −(WB + WW), where WB is work the spring does on an attached block and WW is work the spring does on the wall to which it is attached. But WW is ignored in the next step. Why?

Answers

Answer:

The given potential energy of the spring is expressed as follows;

ΔUsp = -(WB + WW)

Where;

WB = Th work done by the spring on the block to which it is attached

WW = The work done by the spring on the wall

We recall that work done, W = Force applied × Distance moved in the direction of the force

The work done by the spring on the block, WB = The spring force × The distance the block moves

The work done by the spring on the wall, WW = The spring force × The distance the wall moves

However, given that the wall does not move, we have;

The distance the wall moves = 0

∴ The work done by the spring on the wall, WW = The spring force × 0 = 0 J

Therefore, WW = 0 J, and the spring does not do work on the wall, and WW can be ignored in the next subsequent) steps

The Keck Observatory is home to the largest Earth-based twin telescopes. The telescopes are located away from city lights, above the clouds where the atmosphere is clear, calm, and dry. In 1999, additional steps were taken to help the telescopes overcome any distortions caused by changes in the atmosphere by adding a laser sighting system. Now, the Keck telescopes can probe distant galaxies and capture images with more detail than even the Hubble Space Telescope. Scientists can now use the Keck telescopes to investigate many questions. What is one question the Keck telescopes would NOT help scientists answer

Answers

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The options for the question are

a) How do galaxies rotate?

b) What is the weather on Neptune?

c) What is the core of Saturn made of?

d) What other solar systems have planets?

Solution

The Hubble space telescope was designed and integrated into the extraterrestrial system in order to capture information about the surrounding universe. If the  Keck Observatory has a better observation capacity than the Hubble space telescope then the scientist would be interested to know the surrounding planets in the solar system.

Magnitude of frictional force = μ mg

μ is either static or kinetic friction.

To start the crate moving , static friction is calculated .

a ) To start crate moving , force required = μ mg where μ is coefficient of static friction .

force required =.517 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 286.76  N .

b ) to  slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed , force required

= μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic  friction , where μ is kinetic friction

A solid cylinder has a mass of 5 kg and radius of 2 m and is fixed so that it is able to rotate freely around its center without friction. A 0.02 kg bullet is moving from right to left with an angular momentum of 9 kgm2s just before it strikes the cylinder near its bottom and gets stuck at the outer radius. What is the angular velocity (magnitude and direction) of the cylinder bullet system after the impact

Answers

Answer:

0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of angular momentum,

angular momentum before impact = angular momentum after impact

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = angular momentum of bullet = + 9 kgm²/s (it is positive since the bullet tends to rotate in a clockwise direction from left to right)

L₂ = angular momentum of cylinder and angular momentum of bullet after collision.

L₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω where I₁ = rotational inertia of cylinder = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder = 5 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2 m, I₂ = rotational inertia of bullet about axis of cylinder after collision = mR² where m = mass of bullet = 0.02 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2m and ω = angular velocity of system after collision

So,

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = (I₁ + I₂)ω

ω = L₁/(I₁ + I₂)

ω = L₁/(1/2MR² + mR²)

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(1/2 × 5 kg + 0.02 kg)(2 m)²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.5 kg + 0.02 kg)(4 m²)

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.52 kg)(4 m²)

ω = +9 kgm²/s/10.08 kgm²

ω = + 0.893 rad/s

The angular velocity of the cylinder bullet system is 0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction-since it is positive.

Answer:

a)   a = - 0.0833 m / s²,  b)   t = 4.4 s

Explanation:

a) this is a kinematics exercise where the acceleration is along the inclined plane

         v = v₀ - a t

         a = v₀ - v / t

         a = 3 - 8/60

         a = - 0.0833 m / s²

b) in this case the final velocity is zero

A 0.2 kg hockey park is sliding along the eyes with an initial velocity of -10 m/s when a player strikes it with his stick, causing it to reverse its direction and giving it a velocity of +25 m/s the impulse the stick applies to the park is most nearly

Answers

Answer:

The impulse applied by the stick to the hockey park is approximately 7 kilogram-meters per second.  

Explanation:

The Impulse Theorem states that the impulse experimented by the hockey park is equal to the vectorial change in its linear momentum, that is:

[tex]I = m\cdot (\vec{v}_{2} - \vec{v_{1}})[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]I[/tex] - Impulse, in kilogram-meters per second.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass, in kilograms.

[tex]\vec{v_{1}}[/tex] - Initial velocity of the hockey park, in meters per second.

[tex]\vec{v_{2}}[/tex] - Final velocity of the hockey park, in meters per second.

If we know that [tex]m = 0.2\,kg[/tex], [tex]\vec{v}_{1} = -10\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{m}{s}\right][/tex] and [tex]\vec {v_{2}} = 25\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right][/tex], then the impulse applied by the stick to the park is approximately:

[tex]I = (0.2\,kg)\cdot \left(35\,\hat{i}\right)\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right][/tex]

[tex]I = 7\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right][/tex]

The impulse applied by the stick to the hockey park is approximately 7 kilogram-meters per second.

Two charges, each q, are separated by a distance r, and exert mutual attractive forces of F on each other. If both charges become 2q and the distance becomes 3r, what are the new mutual forces

Answers

Answer:

F = ⅔ F₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

         F = k q₁q₂ / r²

let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions

          F₀ = k q² / r²

now the charge changes q₁ = q₂ = 2q and the new distance is r = 3 r

       

we substitute

          F = k 4q² / 9 r²

          F = k q² r² 4/9
