A train is traveling at 55m/s begins to slow down as it approaches a bend in the tracks. If it travels around the bend at a speed of9 m/s and it takes 49 s to properly slow down, what distance does the train travel while slowing down?

Answers

Answer:

x = 1127 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the equations of kinematics. With the first equation, we must find the acceleration and with the second equation we must find the distance.

[tex]v_{f} =v_{o} -a*t[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity = 9 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 55 [m/s]

a = acceleration o desacceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 49 [s]

Now replacing:

9 = 55 - a*49

a*49 = 55 + 9

a = 1.306 [m/s²]

Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the speed decreases.

Now using the second equation.

[tex]v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2} -2*a*x[/tex]

(9)² = (55)² - 2*(1.306)*x

2944 = 2.612*x

x = 1127 [m]

How far from the mouthpiece of the flute should the hole be that must be uncovered to play D above middle C at 294 Hz? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

Answers

Answer:  Please see answer in explanation column.

Explanation:

Given that

v≈(331 + 0.60T)m/s

where Temperature, T =  14°C

v≈(331 + 0.60 x 14)m/s

v =331+ 8.4 = 339.4m/s

In our solvings, note that

f= frequency

 λ=wavelength

L = length

v= speed of sound

a) Length of the pipe is calculated using the fundamental frequency formulae that

f=v/2L

Length = v/ 2f

= 339.4m/s/ 2 x 494Hz ( s^-1)= 0.3435m

b) wavelength of the fundamental standing wave in the pipe

L = nλ/2,

λ = 2L/ n

λ( wavelength )= 2 x 0.3435/ 1

= 0.687m

c) frequency of the fundamental standing wave in the pipe

F = v/  λ

= 339.4m/s/0.687m=

494.03s^-1 = 494 Hz

d) the frequency in the traveling sound wave produced in the outside air.

This is the same as the frequency in the open organ pipe = 494Hz

e)The wavelength of the travelling sound wave produced in the outside air is the same as the wavelength calculated in b above = 0.687m

f) To play D above middle c . the distance is given by

L =v/ 2 f

= 343/ 2 x 294

=0.583m

Compute the size of the charge necessary for two spheres separated by 1m to be attached with the force of 1N. How many electrons is this charge?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons[/tex]

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law

The force between two charged particles of charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance d is given by the Coulomb's Law formula:

[tex]\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2[/tex]

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We know both charges are identical, i.e. q1=q2=q. This reduces the formula to:

[tex]\displaystyle F=k\frac{q^2}{d^2}[/tex]

Since we know the force F=1 N and the distance d=1 m, let's find the common charge of the spheres solving for q:

[tex]\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{F}{k}}\cdot d[/tex]

Substituting values:

[tex]\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{1}{9\cdot 10^9}}\cdot 1[/tex]

[tex]q = 1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c[/tex]

This charge corresponds to a number of electrons given by the elementary charge of the electron:

[tex]q_e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c[/tex]

Thus, the charge of any of the spheres is:

[tex]\displaystyle q = \frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons}[/tex]

Air enters into the hollow propeller tube at A with a mass flow of 4 kg/s and exits at the ends B and C with a velocity of 400 m/s, measured relative to the tube. If the tube rotates at 1500 rev/min, determine the frictional torque M on the tube.

Answers

Answer:

643N.m

Explanation:

From this question we have:

Mass flow = 4kg/s

Velocity V = 400m/s

Rotation N = 1500rev/min

We get the relative velocity at exit to be:

V2 = V - r2w

400-0.5x [(2*π*1500)/60]

= 400-78.5

= 321.5m/s

Then we have to calculate the frictional torque My

Mt = Mr2 x V2

= 4x0.5x321.5

= 643Nm

From the calculations above, we get the frictional torque M on the tube to be 643Nm.

What is acceleration?

The rate at which an item changes its velocity is known as acceleration, a vector quantity. If an object's velocity is changing, it is acceleration.

Tension of the line = the weight + force from pulling up the fish

30 N = mg + ma

30 = (6)(9.8) + (6)a

10.4 = 6 a

a = 1.7333333 m/s²

mutualism- relationship between two or more organisms where both are benefited. Example-oxpecker with rhino/zebra. They eat bugs off of them which means that they are getting food, while the rhino/zebra are getting cleaned up with pest control.

commensalism- relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other isn't benefited or harmed. EX- tree frogs use plants as protectioin.he frog is benefited, and the plant is neither harmed nor benefited. Remora fish have a disk on their heads that they use to attach themselves to larger animals for protection. The animals they attach to are neither harmed nor benefited.  

parasitism- in a relationship where an organism benefits at the expense of the other. (one is benefited while the other is harmed) ex- fleas and ticks that live on cats and dogs, tape worms that live in people and animals that eat the food which means that the people aren't getting the food or nutrition that they eat. lice, etc

competition- interaction within organisms/species in which both the organisms/species are harmed and is apart of natural selection. Examples may include two males fighting over a mate, animals competing over food, limited habitats that they are fighting over, territory, etc.

predation- the preying of one animal on another. It's where the predator hunts and eats another organism which is its prey. categorized within-(1) carnivory, (2) herbivory, (3) parasitism, and (4) mutualism. Each type of predation can by categorized based on whether or not it results in the death of the prey.ex- owls hunting mice, wolves hunting rabbits, lion hunting gazelle, etc.

Answers

Answer:

(a) θ = 45° = 0.78 rad

(b) θ = 32.27° = 0.56 rad

(c) θ = 57.27° = 1 rad

Explanation:

When a vector is resolved into its rectangular components, the formula for the direction angle of the vector with positive x-axis is given as:

tan θ = Ay/Ax

θ = tan⁻¹(Ay/Ax)

(a)

Ax = 12 m

Ay = 12 m

θ = tan⁻¹(12 m/ 12 m)

θ = tan⁻¹(1)

θ = 45° = 0.78 rad

(b)

Ax = 19 m

Ay = 12 m

θ = tan⁻¹(12 m/19 m)

θ = tan⁻¹(0.6315)

θ = 32.27° = 0.56 rad

(c)

Ax = 12 m

Ay = 19 m

θ = tan⁻¹(19 m/12 m)

θ = tan⁻¹(1.58333)

θ = 57.27° = 1 rad

What horizontal speed must a pumpkin be thrown to hit a car 13.4 meters away from a building which stands 10.4 meters tall?
A) 1.5 m/s
B) 2.1 m/s
C)6.1 m/s
D) 8.9 m/s​

Answers

Answer:

V₀ₓ = 9.2 m/s

Nearest answer:

D) 8.9 m/s

Explanation:

First we find the time taken by the pumpkin to hit the car. For that purpose we apply 2nd equation of motion to the pumpkin:

h = V₀y t + (1/2)gt²

where,

h = height of building = 10.4 m

V₀y = vertical component of initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

10.4 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (1/2)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = (10.4 m)(2)/(9.8 m/s²)

t = √[2.122 s²]

t = 1.45 s

Now, we analyze horizontal motion for horizontal component of initial velocity. We assume air friction to be zero so that the horizontal motion is uniform. Therefore,

s = V₀ₓ t

where,

s = horizontal distance between building and car = 13.4 m

V₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Initial Velocity = ?

Therefore,

13.4 m = V₀ₓ(1.45 s)

V₀ₓ = 13.4 m/1.45 s

V₀ₓ = 9.2 m/s

2) What is the speed when the object is 5.00 cm from equilibrium? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)
3) What is the speed when the object is at the equilibrium position? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Answers

Answer:

1) v = 0.45 m/s

2) v = 0.65 m/s

3) v = 0.75 m/s  

Explanation:

1) We can find the speed of the object by conservation of energy:

[tex] E_{i} = E_{f} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} [/tex]

Where:

k: is the spring constant = 280 N/m

v: is the speed of the object =?

m: is the mass of the object = 5.00 kg

x: is the displacement of the spring

[tex] \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.08 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2} [/tex]                              

[tex] v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} - 280N/m(0.08 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.45 m/s [/tex]

2) When the object is 5.00 cm (0.050 m) from equilibrium, the speed of the object is:

[tex] \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} [/tex]    

[tex] \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.05 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2} [/tex]      

[tex] v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} - 280N/m(0.05 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.65 m/s [/tex]      

 

3) When the object is at the equilibrium position, the speed of the object is:

[tex] \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} [/tex]    

[tex] \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2} [/tex]      

[tex] v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.75 m/s [/tex]

Compression of spring and conservation of energy:

Given that the mass of the object, m = 5 kg

spring constant, k = 280 N/m

compression of the spring , x = 10 cm = 0.1m

(i) the spring compression is at d = 8cm

according to the conservation of energy:

v = 0.449 m/s

(ii) the spring compression is at d = 5cm

according to the conservation of energy:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}kd^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

where v is the speed at the given compression of the spring.

v = 0.648 m/s

(iii) the spring is at equilibrium so compression is at d = 0cm

according to the conservation of energy:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}kd^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

where v is the speed at the given compression of the spring.

Approximating Venus's atmosphere as a layer of gas 50 km thick, with uniform density 21 kg/m3, calculate the total mass of the atmosphere.Express your answer using two significant figures.m venus atmosphere = ____ kg

Answers

Answer:

m = 4.9 10⁸ kg

Explanation:

The expression for the density is

           ρ = m / V

           m = ρ V

the volume of the atmosphere is the volume of the sphere of the outer layer of the atmosphere minus the volume of the plant

          V = V_atmosphere - V_planet

           V = 4/3 π R_atmosphere³ - 4/3 π R_venus³

           V = 4/3 π (R_atmosphere³ - R_venus³

)

the radius of the planet is R_venus = 6.06 10⁶ m.

The radius of the outermost layer of the atmosphere

          R_atmosphere = 50 10³ + R_ venus = 50 10³ + 6.06 10⁶

           R_atmosphere = 6.11 10⁶ m

let's find the volume

           V = 4/3 pi [(6,11 10⁶)³ - (6,06 10⁶)³]

            V = 23,265 10⁶ m³

A container is filled to a depth of 21.0 cm with water. On top of the water floats a 35.0-cm-thick layer of oil with specific gravity 0.600. What is the absolute pressure at the bottom of the container

Answers

Answer:

P_abs = 105120.2 N/m²

Explanation:

We are given;

Specific gravity of oil; ρ_oil = 0.6 g/cm³ = 600 kg/m³

Depth of water; h_w = 21 cm = 0.21 m

Depth of oil; h_o = 35 cm = 0.35 m

From tables specific gravity of water is; ρ_w = 1000 kg/m³

Thus, to get the absolute pressure at the bottom of the container, we will use the formula;

P_abs = (ρ_w × g × h_w) + (ρ_oil × g × h_oil) + P_a

Where P_a is atmospheric pressure with a standard value of 1.01 × 10^(5) N/m²

g is gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

P_abs = (1000 × 9.81 × 0.21) + (600 × 9.81 × 0.35) + (1.01 × 10^(5))

P_abs = 105120.2 N/m²

But Altaf could expect the children to hear his call.The dub-dub rhythms of the engine spread out and beckoned every boy and girl within earshot. Their short brown legs kicking up a cloud of dust, they flocked to the riverbank. They jumped up and down, their shrill voices piercing the air.Altaf had encountered this scene a hundred times as he made his way east from Calcutta through the tangled waterways of the delta. This time his motorboat did not rush past the children. It slowed down and headed right towards them. Their jumps turned into stomps and their shouts became screams of delight. When he cut the engine, Altaf heard what they were saying.Ingreji-shaheb! Ingreji-shaheb!From the back of the boat, Shiraj chuckled, They think you are an Englishman. Altaf smiled. Why not? These children might never have seen the English but having just crowned George the Sixth as Emperor of India,1 they were still the masters of this land. Altaf doubted that any other motorboat had ever come into this village. No one would expect a Bengali man to bring one here. Besides, Altaf was taller than average, fair in complexion, and wearing European clothes. He would have been more comfortable travelling in a lungi2, but today he had put on khaki pants and a sky-blue shirt. A straw hat protected his head from the sun.Exhausted after three days of travel, Altaf was relieved the journey was over. When he had turned off the Meghna river and entered this smaller channel, he was not sure this was the one that led to his village. Then he sighted, on the horizon, the corrugated iron roof framed by the twin palmyra trees with their broad leaves spread like huge fans. Home.Still, he could not be positive. He was returning after ten years. This is Modhupur village, isnt it? he shouted at the children.He-speaks-in-Bangla. Not-an-Ingreji-shaheb! Our-folk! One-of-us!He repeated his question.Yes-this-is-Modhupur. But-who-are-you? Who-do-you-want? Where-did-you-come-from?I belong to that house over there, he said, thrusting a finger towards the palmyra trees.The children swivelled their necks to look. None of them were old enough to remember him. They questioned him and each other. Are-you-this-ones-brother? Is-he-that-ones son? The-other-ones-cousin? Finally a voice made itself heard over the rest and said, Masooms-uncle-who-went-away-to-the-city. It could have been the certainty in his voiceslightly older than the othersor they may have run out of possibilities to consider, but the boys remark settled the debate. The children quieted down and just stared at Altaf, as if searching his face for some sign of familiarity so they could place him as part of their world.Clutching the mooring rope in his hands, Shiraj jumped into the water and tugged the boat towards the bank. A few of the children rushed forward to help him pull. Shiraj tied the rope around a tree. Nearby a few small dinghies were also moored. They rocked in the water from the waves stirred up by the motorboat.While Altaf supervised the mooring, the children craned their necks to look inside the boat and resumed their inquiries. Where-are-your-sails? How-can-it-move-without-sails? What-is-that-thing-you-call-an-engine? Why-does-it-make-the-loud-noise? Where-did-you-get-it-from? Are-you-a-very-rich-man?Altaf could not keep up with them. With each reply, they pelted him with a dozen more questions. At times he felt like telling them to shut up, but he enjoyed their attention. Their chatter distracted him from what lay ahead.Leaning over the bow of the boat, he passed his bedding and leather suitcase to Shiraj. He balanced himself on the edge of the hull, then leaped on to the bank.Used by permission.The events of the passage are ordered according to the familiar literary pattern ofA a journey homeB an unsolved mysteryC a quest for powerD a personal tragedyE an atonement for misdeeds Help me PLEASE ixlllll Most Brazilians are descendants of people from: Africa Spain Holland Portugal Find the percent the first number is of the second 7 ft, 7 yd An object is lifted upward at a constant speed.
