Answers

Answer:

2.57 seconds  (rounded to 2.6 Seconds)

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Before we can solve this question we need to create a formula that calculates the final speed. The formula will be the following,

Where:

Vf is the final Velocity

Vi is the initial velocity

A is the acceleration

t is the time in seconds

Now that we have the formula we can plug in the values given to us in the question and solve for the amount of time (t).

Finally, we can see that it would take the cyclist 2.57 seconds (approximately) to reach a speed of 18 m/s

Two clear but non-mixing liquids each of depth 15 cm are placed together in a glass container. The liquids have refractive indices of 1.75 and 1.33. What is the apparent depth of the combination when viewed from above?

Answers

Answer:

The apparent depth d = 19.8495 cm

Explanation:

The equation for apparent depth can be expressed as:

[tex]d = \dfrac{d_1} {\mu_1}+\dfrac {d_2}{\mu_2}[/tex]

here;

[tex]d_1 = d_2 = 15 \ cm[/tex]

[tex]\mu_1[/tex] = refractive index in the first liquid = 1.75

[tex]\mu_2[/tex] = refractive index in the second liqquid= 1.33

[tex]d = \dfrac{15}{1.75}+\dfrac{15}{1.33}[/tex]

[tex]d = 15( \dfrac{1}{1.75}+\dfrac{1}{1.33})[/tex]

[tex]d = 15( 0.5714 +0.7519)[/tex]

d = 15(1.3233 ) cm

d = 19.8495 cm

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density 0.980 g/cm3. The area of each base is 4.85 cm2, but in one vessel the liquid height is 0.954 m and in the other it is 1.58 m. Find the work done by the gravitational force in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy of vessel with liquid upto height .954 m

= mgh where m is mass , h is height of CG of the liquid and g is acceleration due to gravity

mass = volume x density

= cross sectional area x height x density

potential energy = cross sectional area x height x density x g x height / 2

because CG lies at depth of half  the height .

= 4.85 x 10⁻⁴ x .954 x 980 x .954/2 x 9.8

= 2.12  J .

Potential energy of vessel with liquid upto height 1.58 m

= 4.85 x 10⁻⁴ x 1.58 x 980 x 1.58/2 x 9.8

= 5.8 J  

Total energy = 2.12 + 5.8 = 7.92 J

when the level becomes equal , common height becomes

(1.58 + .954 )/ 2 = 1.267 m

potential energy of liquid in two cylinders = 2 x 4.85 x 10⁻⁴ x 1.267 x 980 x 1.267/2 x 9.8

= 7.477 J

Work done by gravitational force

= 7.92 - 7.477 = .443 J

On Venus, the atmospheric temperature is a hot 720 K due to the greenhouse effect. It consists mostly of carbon dioxide (molar mass 44 g/mol) and the pressure is 92 atm. What is the total translational kinetic energy of 3 moles of carbon dioxide molecules?

Answers

Answer:

The value is   [tex]E_t = 17958.2 \ J[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The atmospheric temperature is [tex]T_a = 720 \ K[/tex]

       The molar mass of carbon dioxide is  [tex]Z = 44 \ g/mol[/tex]

        The pressure is [tex]P = 92 \ atm =[/tex]

      The number of moles is [tex]n = 3 \ moles[/tex]

Generally the translational kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

        [tex]E_t = \frac{f}{2} * n * R T[/tex]

       Here  R is the gas constant with value  [tex]R = 8.314 J\cdot K^{-1}\cdot mol^{-1}[/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom of carbon dioxide in terms of  translational motion is  f =  3

     So

           [tex]E_t = \frac{ 3}{2} * 2 * 8.314 * 720[/tex]

=>         [tex]E_t = 17958.2 \ J[/tex]

A car of mass 1200 kg travels at a steady dpeed of 22 m/s around a bend of radius 50 m. Find the centripetal force required?

Answers

Compute the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration a :

a = (22 m/s)² / (50 m) = 9.68 m/s²

Then the magnitude of the centripetal force is

F = (1200 kg) (9.68 m/s²) = 11,616 N ≈ 12,000 N

The truck needs 11,616 N of centripetal force to bend around a radius 50 m.

From the centripetal acceleration,

[tex]a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

Where,

[tex]a[/tex]- Centripetal acceleration

[tex]v[/tex]- velocity = 22 m/s

[tex]r[/tex]- radius = 50 m

Put the values,

[tex]a =\dfrac { (22 \rm \ m/s)^2}{(50\rm \ m)}\\\\a = 9.68\rm \ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the centripetal force is

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

Where, m is the mass = 1200 kg

So,

[tex]F= 1200\rm \ kg\times 9.68\rm \ m/s^2 \\\\F = 11,616\rm \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the truck needs 11,616 N of  centripetal force to bend around a radius 50 m.

A 5 kg block rests on an inclined plane with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.30. What is the minimum angle at which the block will begin to slide

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\theta = 16.70 ^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:

The coefficient of static friction is equal to the tangent of the minimum angle at which an object will begin to start sliding down a ramp.  

[tex]\displaystyle u_s=\frac{F_f}{F_N} = \frac{F_g\ \text{sin}\theta}{F_g\ \text{cos} \theta} = \text{tan} \theta[/tex]

Since we are given the coefficient of static friction we can solve for the minimum angle that the block will begin to slide.

Let's solve for the force of gravity that is acting on the block. The force of gravity is also known as the weight force, which can be calculated by using w = mg.

[tex]w=mg[/tex]

We are given the mass of the block (kg) and we know that g = 9.8 m/s².

[tex]w=(5)(9.8) = 49 \ \text{N}[/tex]

Now we can use this force in the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle u_s = \frac{F_g \ \text{sin} \theta }{F_g \ \text{cos} \theta}[/tex]

Plug [tex]\displaystyle u_s = 0.30[/tex] and 49 N into the equation.

[tex]\displaystyle 0.30 = \frac{(49) \ \text{sin} \theta }{(49) \ \text{cos} \theta}[/tex]  [tex]0.30=\text{tan} \theta[/tex]

Notice that the gravitational force cancels out in the end, so we can actually start with [tex]0.30=\text{tan} \theta[/tex].

Evaluate this equation by taking the inverse tangent of both sides of the equation.

[tex]\text{tan}^-^1 (0.30) = \text{tan}^-^1 (\text{tan}\theta)[/tex] [tex]\text{tan}^-^1 (0.30) =\theta[/tex] [tex]\theta = 16.69924423[/tex]

The minimum angle at which the block will begin to slide is about 16.70 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Vertical Launch Upwards

It occurs when an object is launched vertically up without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.

If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle h_m=\frac{v_o^2}{2g}[/tex]

We'll assume the acceleration of gravity as [tex]g=10\ m/s^2[/tex].The pellet is vertically upward launched with vo=80 m/s. The maximum height is:

[tex]\displaystyle h_m=\frac{80^2}{2*10}=320[/tex]

[tex]h_m = 320\ m[/tex]

That height is 3 meters above the edge of the cliff, thus the cliff is 320-3=317 m hight

Explanation:

Molar mass (M) is equal to the mass of one mole of a particular element or compound; as such, molar masses are expressed in units of grams per mole (g mol–1) and are often referred to as molecular weights. The molar mass of a particular gas is therefore equal to the mass of a single particle of that gas multiplied by Avogadro’s number (6.02 x 1023 ). To find the molar mass of a mixture of gases, you need to take into account the molar mass of each gas in the mixture, as well as their relative proportion.

How much kinetic energy does the dirt gain?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a common question on Khan Academy's "Calculating change in kinetic energy from a force" practice exercises. (AP Physics 1)

The simplest method to use is the following: [tex]W = F * d * cos(theta)[/tex], where W represents work (joules), F represents force (newtons), d represents distance (meters), and theta represents the angle of the force that's being applied.In this scenario, the force being applied is horizontal, so we can remove the [tex]cos(theta)[/tex] from our equation.So, our equation is now: [tex]W = F * d[/tex]. This would mean that [tex]W = 20 * 15[/tex], which is equal to [tex]300[/tex]. Our answer is 300 joules. (this value is positive and not negative because kinetic energy is being GAINED, not LOST)

A 950 kg car rounds an unbanked curve at a speed of 25 m/s. If the radius of the curve is 72 m, what is the minimum coefficient of friction between the car and the road required so that the car does not skid?

Answers

Compute the car's weight:

W = m g = (950 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 9310 N

The net vertical force on the car is

F = N - W = 0

so the normal force has magnitude

N = W = 9310 N

Then the friction force that keeps the car from skidding has magnitude F = µ N, where µ is the coefficient of friction, and it's friction that makes up the net horizontal force on the car. By Newton's second law, we have

F = m a

µ N = m v ² / R

µ (9310 N) = (950 kg) (25 m/s)² / (72 m)

µ ≈ 0.89

A 1 200-kg automobile moving at 25 m/s has the brakes applied with a deceleration of 8.0 m/s2. How far does the car travel before it stops?

Answers

Answer:

Δx = 39.1 m

Explanation:

Assuming that deceleration keeps constant during the braking process, we can use one of the kinematics equations, as follows:

        [tex]v_{f} ^{2} - v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a * \Delta x (1)[/tex]

        where  vf is the final velocity (0 in our case), v₀ is the initial velocity

        (25 m/s), a is the acceleration (-8.0 m/s²), and Δx is the distance

        traveled since the brakes are applied.

Solving (1) for Δx, we have:

        [tex]\Delta x = \frac{-v_{o} ^{2} }{2*a} = \frac{-(25m/s)^{2}}{2*(-8.0m/s2} = 39.1 m (2)[/tex]        

The car will travel a distance of 39.1 m before its stops.

To solve the problem above, use the equations of motion below.

Equation:

v² = u²+2as................... Equation 1

Where:

v = final velocity of the automobileu = initial velocity of the automobilea = accelerations = distance covered

From the question,

Given:

v = 0 m/s (before its stops)u = 25 m/sa = -8 m/s² (decelerating)

Substitute these values into equation 1

⇒ 0² = 25²+2(-8)(s)

Solve for s

⇒ 0²-25² = -16s⇒ -16s = -625⇒ s = -625/16⇒ s = 39.1 m

Hence, The car will travel a distance of 39.1 m before its stops.
