An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know about the explosion?
Choose:--
From the sound of the explosion
From the light due to the explosion
From light and sound due to the explosion
From the vibrations due to the explosion

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

‏A 50 - N x m torque acts on a wheel with a moment of inertia 150 kg x m² . If the wheel starts from rest , how long will it take the wheel to make one revolution ?

Answers

Answer:

t = 6.17 s

Explanation:

For a 1 revolution movement, [tex]\triangle \theta = 2\pi[/tex]

Torque, [tex]\tau = 50 Nm[/tex]

Moment of Inertia, [tex]I = 150 kg m^2[/tex]

If the wheel starts from rest, [tex]w_{0} = 0 rad/s[/tex]

The angular displacement of the wheel can be given by the formula:

[tex]\triangle \theta = \omega_0 t + 0.5 \alpha t^2[/tex]................(1)

Where [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the angular acceleration

[tex]\tau = I \alpha\\\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\alpha = 50/150\\\alpha = 0.33 rad/s^2[/tex]

To get t, put all necessary parameters into equation (1)

[tex]2\pi = 0(t) + 0.5(0.33)t^2\\2\pi =0.5(0.33)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{4 \pi}{0.33} \\t^2 = 38.08\\t = 6.17 s[/tex]

Explain the following behaviour of molecules water rises up in a harrow tubes but mercury which is also a liquid falls in a narrow tubes to level below the outside surface

Answers

Answer: find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

The capillarity of water molecules is different from the mercury molecules.

What is capillarity ?

This is the tendency of a liquid substance to rise in a capillary tube.

Molecules water rises up in a harrow tubes because of the force of adhesion between the water molecules and the tube molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between the water molecules. This helps water to wet the tube and rise. While mercury which is also a liquid falls in a narrow tubes to level below the outside surface because the force of cohesion between the mercury molecules is greater than the force of adhesion between the mercury molecules and the tube molecules. Mercury does not wet.

A rocket is launched from atop a 101 foot cliff with an initial velocity of 116 ft/s.

\a. Substitute the values into the vertical motion formula h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0 . Let h(t) = 0

b. How long will the rocket take to hit the ground after it is launched? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

Answers

Answer:

A. 16t2 -116t -101=0 B. 8.0s

Explanation:

Known parameters from the question:

Height of Cliff,h0 = 101ft

Velocity of rocket ,v= 116ft/s.

1.Substituting the above to the above formula we have;

h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0

Since h(t) =0, it means the rocket is falling towards the ground, when it gets to the ground when it's at rest the height h(t) = 0m

{Note the rocket is launched from the height of the Cliff so that would be the initial height of the rocket,h0}

2.Substituting into h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0

We have;

0 = -16t2 + 116t + 101=> 16t2 -116t -101=0

Using formula method for solving quadratic equation we have;

t = -(-116)+_√[(-116)^2 -( 4× 16 ×-101]/ (2× 16)

t = [116 +_(141.1382)]/32

t = (116 -141.1382)/32 or (116 +141.1382)/32

-0.786s or 8.036s

-0.8s or 8.0s to the nearest tenth.

Now time cannot be negative in real life situation hence the time is 8.0s

Note : the general equation of a quadratic equation with variable t is given below;

at2 + bt + c=0

Formula method for quadratic equation is :

t =( -b+_√[(b^2 -( 4× a×c)] ) / (2× a)

C. Doctors diagnosing cases of schizophrenia.

D. eyewitnesses identifying suspects from a lineup.

Answer:

A.  bartenders serving alcohol

Explanation:

This is because of the underage rule concerning sale of alcohol. Thus, there are occasional period in which underage person or a minor will want to buy alcohol, and without necessarily asking for the birth certificate or ID card that contains Age information, it is therefore, necessary for bartenders to be able to tell the age of their unfamiliar customers, by mere looking at them, so as not to sell to a minor.

Hemce, Rhodes research in guessing the age of unfamiliar person has important implications for BARTENDERS SERVING ALCOHOL, because it will guide them to determine Underage or Minor, that want to buy alcohol from them.

The diagram below shows a 5.0-kilogram bucket of water being swung in a horizontal circle of 0.70-meter radius
at a constant speed of 2.0 meters per second.
5.0-kg Bucket

The magnitude of the centripetal force on the bucket of water is approximately
1) 5.7 N
2) 14 N
3) 29 N
4) 200 N

Answers

Answer:

F = 29 N

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of the bucket of water is 5 kg

Radius of a horizontal circle is 0.7 m

Speed of the circle is 2 m/s

It is required to find the magnitude of centripetal force on the bucket of water. The formula used to find the magnitude of centripetal force is given by :

[tex]F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F=\dfrac{5\times (2)^2}{0.7}\\\\F=28.57\ N[/tex]

or

F = 29 N

So, the centripetal force on the bucket of water is 29 N.

The magnitude of the centripetal force on the bucket of water is approximately 29 N

Definition of centripetal force

Centripetal force is the force that acts to keep an object moving in a circular motion. It is expressed mathematically as:

F = mv² / r

With the above formula, we can obtain the centripetal force acting on the bucket.

How to determine centripetal force

•Mass (m) = 5 Kg

•Radius (R) = 0.7 m

•Velocity (v) = 2 m/s

•Centripetal force (F) =?

F = mv² / r

F = (5 × 2²) / 0.7

F = (5 × 4) / 0.7

F = 20 / 0.7

F = 29 N

In a hydroelectric power station, how much potential energy is lost by 100tonnes of water flowing down through the pipes, falling a vertical distance of 200metres? [1tonne=1000kg.]

Answers

Answer:

196000000 J

Explanation:

Potential Energy: This can be defined as the energy of a body due to its position in the gravitational field.

From the question,

P.E = mgh.................. Equation 1

Where P.E = potential Energy, m = mass of the water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 100 tonnes = (100×1000) = 100000 kg, h = 200 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

P.E = 100000(200)(9.8)

P.E = 196000000 J.

Note: When a object falls through a height he losses its potential energy.

Hence the potential energy lost = 196000000 J = 196 MJ.

The space shuttle is accelerated off its launch pad to a velocity of 525 m/s in 18.0 seconds.
What is its average acceleration?

Answers

Answer: 29.17m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Velocity = 525 m/s

Time = 18 seconds

Acceleration = change in Velocity with time

Using the motion equation:

v = u + at

Where v = final Velocity

u = Initial Velocity and t = time

Plugging our values

525 = 0 + a × 18

525 = 18(a)

a = 525 / 18

a = 29.166666

a = 29.17 m/s^2

A 31.7 kg kid, initially at rest, slides
down a frictionless water slide at 53.2º.
How fast is she moving 3.45 s later?

Answers

Answer:

34.55m/s

Explanation:

Now from Newton's law of motion;

V= U+ a×t

V- final velocity

U- initial velocity = 0m/s

a- acceleration

t- time

Note that a = g/cos53.2°

Now g is acceleration of free fall due to gravity

This is a vertical acceleration since the course of motion is along a plane inclined at 53.2° to the height of the pool.

Also from trigonometry identity

cos 53.2°= vertical component a/ acceleration ( cos a = adjacent/hypothenus)

If we assume g = 9.8m/S2 { a generally given value}

Substituting t = 3.45s as the time of consideration, we have;

V = 0 + (9.8/cos53.2°)×3.45

= -34.55m/s

Note the -ve sign is just telling us this velocity is causing the object to move down.

Hence V = 34.55m/s

A wave has an amplitude of 2 cm. What is its energy (KW)?

Answers

Answer:

1.962 × 10⁻³ kW

Explanation:

The energy of a wave of a wave, such as an ocean wave, in regions of considerable water depth given its amplitude in a meter of crest and surface  unit is given by the relation;

[tex]E = \dfrac{\rho \times g \times A^2}{2}[/tex]

Where:

ρ = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

A = Wave amplitude = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We therefore have;

[tex]E = \dfrac{1000 \times 9.81 \times (0.02)^2}{2} = 1.962 \ \dfrac{m^2 \cdot kg}{s^2} = 1.962 \ J[/tex]

The energy is power is the energy per second which is gives;

P = E /second = 1.962 J/s = 1.962 W = 1.962 × 10⁻³ kW.
