Answer:
Explanation:
a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force
R = mg where m is mass of the block
Force of friction F = μ x mg
= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8
= 20.68 N
b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so
deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²
acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²
c )
v² = u² - 2 a s
v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s
a = 1.7 m /s
0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s
s = 4.47 m
A purse at radius 2.00 m and a wallet at radius 3.00 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the ride turns. They are on the same radial line. At one instant, the acceleration of the purse is (2.00 m/s2 ) (4.00 m/s2 ) .At that instant and in unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of the wallet
Complete Question:
A purse at radius 2.00 m and a wallet at radius 3.00 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the ride turns.
They are on the same radial line. At one instant, the acceleration of the purse is (2.00 m/s2 ) i + (4.00 m/s2 ) j .At that instant and in unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of the wallet
Answer:
aw = 3 i + 6 j m/s2
Explanation:
Since both objects travel in uniform circular motion, the only acceleration that they suffer is the centripetal one, that keeps them rotating.It can be showed that the centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the square of the angular velocity, as follows:[tex]a_{c} = \omega^{2} * r (1)[/tex]
Since both objects are located on the same radial line, and they travel in uniform circular motion, by definition of angular velocity, both have the same angular velocity ω.∴ ωp = ωw (2)
⇒ [tex]a_{p} = \omega_{p} ^{2} * r_{p} (3)[/tex]
[tex]a_{w} = \omega_{w}^{2} * r_{w} (4)[/tex]
Dividing (4) by (3), from (2), we have:[tex]\frac{a_{w} }{a_{p}} = \frac{r_{w} }{r_{p}}[/tex]
Solving for aw, we get:[tex]a_{w} = a_{p} *\frac{r_{w} }{r_{p} } = (2.0 i + 4.0 j) m/s2 * 1.5 = 3 i +6j m/s2[/tex]
A Ping-Pong ball has a mass of 2.3 g and a terminal speed of 9.3 m/s. The drag force is of the form bv2 What is the value of b?
Answer:
The value is [tex]b = 0.00026 \ kg / m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the Ping-Pong is [tex]m = 2.3 \ g = 0.0023 \ kg[/tex]
The terminal speed is [tex]v = 9.3 \ m/s[/tex]
The drag force is [tex]bv^2[/tex]
Generally the resultant force on the Ping- Pong is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = mg - bv^2[/tex]
when terminal velocity is attained , the resultant force is zero so
[tex]0 = mg - bv^2[/tex]
=> [tex]b = \frac{m * g}{v^2}[/tex]
=> [tex]b = \frac{0.0023 * 9.8}{ 9.3 ^2}[/tex]
=> [tex]b = 0.00026 \ kg / m[/tex]
Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton
Answer:
a
[tex]\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m[/tex]
b
[tex]\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the person is [tex]m = 180 \ kg[/tex]
The speed of the person is [tex]v = 1 \ m/s[/tex]
The energy of the proton is [tex]E_ p = 5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \ J[/tex]
Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as
[tex]\lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }[/tex]
Here h is the Planck constant with the value
[tex]h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s[/tex]
So
[tex]\lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180 * 1 }[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m[/tex]
Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as
[tex]E_p = \frac{1}{2} * m_p * v^2_p[/tex]
Here [tex]m_p[/tex] is the mass of proton with value [tex]m_p = 1.67 *10^{-27} \ kg[/tex]
=> [tex]8.0*10^{-13} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.67 *10^{-27} * v^2[/tex]
=> [tex]v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }[/tex]
=> [tex]v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \ m/s[/tex]
So
[tex]\lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }[/tex]
so [tex]\lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m[/tex]

In a certain time, light travels 3.50 km in a vacuum. During the same time, light travels only 2.35 km in a liquid. What is the refractive index of the liquid?
Answer:
1.45
Explanation:
Refractive index of the liquid is given as;
Refractive index = [tex]\frac{speed of light in vacuum}{speed of light in liquid}[/tex]
But,
speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Since a certain light of specific wavelength was used during the same time, let the time be represented by t.
So that;
speed of light in vacuum = [tex]\frac{3500}{t}[/tex]
speed of light in the liquid = [tex]\frac{2350}{t}[/tex]
Refractive index = [tex]\frac{3500}{t}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{2350}{t}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3500}{t}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{t}{2350}[/tex]
Refractive index = [tex]\frac{3500}{2350}[/tex]
= 1.4536
= 1.45
The refractive index of the liquid is 1.45.
Which is increased when the string of a stringed instrument is tightened?
timbre
pitch
wavelength
loudness
When the string of the instrument is tightened then the length of the string decreases hence the pitch and frequency will increase so, option B is correct.
What is pitch?The frequency at which the sound waves that create a sound vibrate determines its pitch. High-frequency sound waves produce high-pitched noises, and low-frequency sound waves make low-pitched noises. The ability to discern between harsh and flat sounds is known as pitch.
A string will vibrate at a varied frequency depending on its length. Higher frequency and higher pitch are produced by shorter strings.
The pitch rises as the anxiety does as well. A string's length is also crucial. A string vibrates and makes music when it is supported at two points and pulled. The pitch of this string will, however, rise if the length is shortened.

Two identical bars are conducting heat from a region of higher temperature to one of lower temperature. In arrangement A, the bars conduct 80 J of heat in a certain amount of time. How much heat is conducted in B during the same time
Answer:
Q' = 320 J
Explanation:
The arrangements are given in attachment. The Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction states that:
Q = KAΔT/L
where,
Q = Heat Transferred
K = Constant (Conduction Coefficient)
A = Surface Area of Heat Transfer
ΔT = Difference of Temperature between two surfaces
L = Length between surfaces
For Arrangement AL
Q = 80 J
Therefore,
80 = KAΔT/L ------------- equation (1)
Now, for arrangement B:
A' = 2 A (As, the rods are now connected in parallel with each other)
L' = L/2
Therefore,
Q' = K(2A)ΔT/(L/2)
Q' = 4 KAΔT/L
using equation (1)
Q' = 4(80 J)
Q' = 320 J

Answer:
a) they both will appear to have the same loudness
Explanation:
When we talk about how loud a sound is , we describe it in decibels (dB). The value of this unit on measurement in this question is what we are going to build our answer on.
Their sound intensity level is the same at 60db even though each of these separate sounds have different frequencies of 40Hz and 100Hz respectively.
The both of them will therefore have the same loudness actually as their sound intensity level has no difference bat 60db each.
A potential difference of 107 mV exists between the inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane. The inner surface is negative relative to the outer surface. How much work is required to eject a positive sodium ion (Na ) from the interior of the cell?
Answer:
The workdone is [tex]W = 1.712 *10^{-20 } \ J[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The potential difference is [tex]V = 107 mV = 107 *10^{-3} \ V[/tex]
Generally the charge on [tex]Na^{+}[/tex] is [tex]Q_{Na^{+}} = 1.60 *10^{-19 } \ C[/tex]
Generally the workdone is mathematically represented as
[tex]W = Q_{Na^{+}}V[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 1.60 *10^{-19 } * 107 *10^{-3}[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 1.712 *10^{-20 } \ J[/tex]

A circular coil of wire 8.6 cm in diameter has 15 turns and carries a current of 2.7 A. The coil is in a region where the magnetic field is 0.56 T. (a) What orientation of the coil gives the maximum torque on the coil, and what is this maximum torque? (b) For what orientation of the coil is the magnitude of the torque 71% of the maximum found in part (a)?
Answer:
(a) (i) The orientation of the coil which gives maximum torque on the coil is 90⁰
(a)(ii) The maximum torque is 0.132 Nm
(b) The orientation of the coil is 45⁰
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of the circular wire, d = 8.6 cm = 0.086 m
radius of the wire, r = d /2 = 0.043 m
number of turns, N = 15 turns
magnetic field, B = 0.56 T
The torque on the wire is given by;
τ = NIABsinθ
where;
θ is the orientation of the wire
(a) maximum torque occurs when the orientation of the wire is at 90⁰
The maximum torque is given by;
τ = NIABsin(90⁰)
τ = NIAB
τ = (15)(2.7)(π x 0.043²)(0.56)
τ = 0.132 Nm
(b)
71% of 0.132 = 0.71 x 0.132 = 0.0937 Nm
[tex]\tau = NIAB sin\theta\\\\sin\theta = \frac{\tau}{NIAB }\\\\ sin\theta = \frac{0.0937}{(15)(2.7)(\pi *0.043^2)(0.56)} \\\\sin\theta = 0.7111\\\\\theta = sin^{-1}(0.7111)\\\\\theta =45.32\\\\\theta = 45^0[/tex]

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron in the 1st excited state moves at a speed of 2.19 106 m/s in a circular path having a radius of 5.29 10-11 m. What is the effective current associated with this orbiting electron?
Answer:
I = 1.05x10⁻³ A
Explanation:
By definition, an electric current is the rate of charge flow at a given time:
[tex] I = \frac{q}{t} [/tex]
Where:
q: is the electrons charge = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹ C
t: is the time
In a circular motion, the time is given by:
[tex] t = T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi}{v/r} = \frac{2\pi r}{v} [/tex]
Where:
ω: is the angular speed = v/r
v: is the speed = 2.19x10⁶ m/s
r: is the radius = 5.29x10⁻¹¹ m
[tex] t = \frac{2\pi r}{v} = \frac{2\pi 5.29 \cdot 10^{-11} m}{2.19 \cdot 10^{6} m/s} = 1.52 \cdot 10^{-16} s [/tex]
Now, the effective current is:
[tex] I = \frac{q}{t} = \frac{1.602 \cdot 10^{-19} C}{ 1.52 \cdot 10^{-16} s} = 1.05 \cdot 10^{-3} A [/tex]
Therefore, the effective current associated with this orbiting electron is 1.05x10⁻³ A.

B. Lenses reflect light; mirrors do not.
C. Lenses refract light; mirrors do not.
D. Lenses focus light; mirrors do not.
Answer:
C. lenses refract light; mirrors do not
This question involves the concepts of reflection and refraction.
The comparison of lenses and mirrors in their interaction with light is "C. Lenses refract light; mirrors do not.".
LENSES AND MIRRORSWhen it comes to the interaction with light, the key difference between lenses and mirrors is the difference of refraction and reflection. Reflection means the complete rebound of the light rays after striking on a surface without any absorption or transmission. On the other hand, refraction is the bending of light rays, while passing through a medium, without any rebound or absorption.
Lenses are tansparent from both sides, so they refract the light rays. While, mirrors are coated opaque from one side, so they reflect back the light rays.

A hydraulic car jack needs to be designed so it can lift a 2903.57 lb car assuming that a person can exert a force of 24.41 lbs. If the piston the person is pushing on had a radius of 3.26 cm, what should the diameter of the piston be that is used to raise the car?
Answer:
Diameter of the piston would be 0.71 m (71.1 cm)
Explanation:
From the principle of pressure;
[tex]\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }[/tex]
Let [tex]F_{1}[/tex] = 2903.57 lb, [tex]F_{2}[/tex] = 24.41 lbs, [tex]r_{2}[/tex] = 3.26 cm = 0.0326 m.
[tex]A_{2}[/tex] = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x [tex](0.0326)^{2}[/tex]
= 0.00334 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]
So that:
[tex]\frac{2903.57}{A_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{24.41}{0.00334}[/tex]
[tex]A_{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2903.57*0.00334}{24.41}[/tex]
= 0.3973
[tex]A_{1}[/tex] = 0.4 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]
The radius of the piston can be determined by:
[tex]A_{1}[/tex] = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
0.3973 = [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x [tex]r^{2}[/tex]
[tex]r^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.3973*7}{22}[/tex]
= 0.1264
r = [tex]\sqrt{0.1264}[/tex]
= 0.3555
r = 0.36 m
Diameter of the piston = 2 x r
= 2 x 0.3555
= 0.711
Diameter of the piston would be 0.71 m (71.1 cm).

As a rough model of the impact of walking/running, consider that half the mass of the body falls from a height of 4.77-cm onto a single foot. (During a typical stride, an adult's center-of-mass moves approximately this distance vertically). Use the kinematic equations to calculate the speed of an object falling from this height at the moment of impact with the ground under the influence of gravity.A. As a rough model of the impact of walking, consider that half of the mass of the entire body strikes the ground with a downward velocity of 1.0 m/s and comes to a full vertical stop over an impact duration of 20 ms. Calculate the force associated with this single step for a person with a mass of 74.2 kg. B. Calculate the stress (solid pressure) of a force of 1880 N applied across the 0.4 cm^2 cross-sectional area of the typical Achilles tendon. For reference, the maximum rupture stress of tendons has been reported in the range of 100-150 MPa.
Answer:
0.967 m/s
1855 N
[tex]46.375\ \text{MPa}[/tex]
Explanation:
v = Final velocity
u = Initial velocity = 0
s = Displacement = 4.77 cm
g = a = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]
From the kinematic equations
[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.0477+0}\\\Rightarrow v=0.967\ \text{m/s}[/tex]
The velocity of the object at the moment of impact is 0.967 m/s
Now
[tex]\Delta v[/tex] = Change in velocity = 1 m/s
t = Time taken = 20 ms
m = Half mass of the person = [tex]\dfrac{74.2}{2}=37.1\ \text{kg}[/tex]
[tex]F=\dfrac{m}{t}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{37.1\times 1}{20\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow F=1855\ \text{N}[/tex]
The force associated with a single step of the person is 1855 N
A = Area = [tex]0.4\ \text{cm}^2[/tex]
Stress is given by
[tex]\sigma=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{1855}{0.4\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=46375000\ \text{Pa}=46.375\ \text{MPa}[/tex]
The stress on the tendon is [tex]46.375\ \text{MPa}[/tex]
The speed of object during falling is 0.967 m/s.
(A) The magnitude of force associated with this single step for a person is 1855 N.
(B) The required value of stress at tendons is [tex]4.70 \times 10^{7} \;\rm Pa[/tex].
Given data:
The height of fall is, h = 4.77 cm = 0.0477 m.
The magnitude of downward velocity is, v' = 1.0 m/s.
The duration of impact is, [tex]t = 20 \;\rm ms =20 \times 10^{-3} \;\rm s[/tex].
The mass of person is, m = 74.2 kg.
The magnitude of force is, F' = 1880 N.
The cross-sectional area is, [tex]A =0.4 \;\rm cm^{2} = 0.4 \times 10^{-4} \;\rm m^{2][/tex].
The problem has several parts using different concepts. First obtain the final speed of object to fall by using the second kinematic equations of motion as,
[tex]v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh[/tex]
Solving as,
[tex]v^{2}=0^{2}+(2 \times 9.8 \times 0.0477)\\\\v = \sqrt{(2 \times 9.8 \times 0.0477)} \\v = 0.967 \;\rm m/s[/tex]
Thus, the speed of object during falling is 0.967 m/s.
(A)
Now coming to next part, the half of mass means, m' = m/2 = 74.2/2 = 37.1 kg.
Apply the expression of average force as,
[tex]F =\dfrac{m'v'}{t}[/tex]
Solving as,
[tex]F =\dfrac{37.1 \times 1}{20 \times 10^{-3}}\\\\F = 1855 \;\rm N[/tex]
Thus, the magnitude of force associated with this single step for a person is 1855 N.
(B)
The expression for the stress is given as,
[tex]\sigma = \dfrac{F'}{A}[/tex]
Solving as,
[tex]\sigma = \dfrac{1880}{0.4 \times 10^{-4}}\\\\\sigma =4.70 \times 10^{7} \;\rm Pa[/tex]
Thus, the required value of stress at tendons is [tex]4.70 \times 10^{7} \;\rm Pa[/tex].

This question is incomplete. However, it should be noted that the voltage, V, across resistors in parallel is the same (although there currents are not the same). Thus, if a voltage has been provided, it remains the same but if not provided, you can solve for it using the formulas below
V = IR
where V is the voltage. I is the current and R is the resistance
R in parallel can be calculated as R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + ......
A rod is pivoted about its center and oriented horizontally. A 5.0-N force directed upward is applied 4.0 m to the left of the pivot and another upward 5.0-N force is applied 1.5 m to the right of the pivot. What is magnitude of the total torque about the pivot?
Answer:
The total torque is 27.5 Nm
Explanation:
Given;
5.0-N force directed upward is applied 4.0 m to the left of the pivot,
5.0-N force directed upward is applied 1.5 m to the right of the pivot,
Taking the moment about the pivot, the total torque is given by;
τ = Fr
where;
F is the appllied force
r is the radius of the force arm
τ = (5 N x 4 m) + (5 N x 1.5 m)
τ = 27.5 Nm
Therefore, the total torque is 27.5 Nm
