Answer:

x2 = 64 revolutions.

it rotate through 64 revolutions in the next 5.00 s

Explanation:

Given;

wheel rotates from rest with constant angular acceleration.

Initial angular speed v = 0

Time t = 2.50

Distance x = 8 rev

Applying equation of motion;

x = vt +0.5at^2 ........1

Since v = 0

x = 0.5at^2

making a the subject of formula;

a = x/0.5t^2 = 2x/t^2

a = angular acceleration

t = time taken

x = angular distance

Substituting the values;

a = 2(8)/2.5^2

a = 2.56 rev/s^2

velocity at t = 2.50

v1 = a×t = 2.56×2.50 = 6.4 rev/s

Through the next 5 second;

t2 = 5 seconds

a2 = 2.56 rev/s^2

v2 = 6.4 rev/s

From equation 1;

x = vt +0.5at^2

Substituting the values;

x2 = 6.4(5) + 0.5×2.56×5^2

x2 = 64 revolutions.

it rotate through 64 revolutions in the next 5.00 s

Answer:

This example shows that alloys are stronger than either of it's parent materials by themselves.

Explanation:

Since carbon is added to iron to make steel, it means steel is an alloy of iron and carbon.

This is because an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, where at least one element is a metal.

Now, steel is stronger than either carbon or or iron by itself because Steel contains atoms of other elements including carbon and iron. These atoms have different sizes to iron carbon atoms, so they distort the layers of atoms in the pure iron and carbon. This means that a greater force is required for the layers to slide over each other in steel, so steel is harder than pure iron.

Complete question is;

Assuming 100% efficient energy conversion how much water stored behind a 50 centimeter high hydroelectric dam would be required to charge the battery with power rating, 12 V, 50 Ampere-minutes

Answer:

Amount of water required to charge the battery = 7.35 m³

Explanation:

The formula for Potential energy of the water at that height = mgh

Where;

m = mass of the water

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

H = height of water = 50 cm = 0.5 m

We know that in density, m = ρV

Where;

ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

V = volume of water

So, potential energy is now given as;

Potential energy = ρVgH = 1000 × V × 9.8 × 0.5 = (4900V) J

Now, formula for energy of the battery is given as;

E = qV

We are given;

q = 50 A.min = 50 × 60 = 3,000 C

V = 12 V

Thus;

qV = 3,000 × 12 = 36,000 J

E = 36,000 J

At a 100% conversion rate, the energy of the water totally powers the battery.

Thus;

(4900V) = (36,000)

4900V = 36,000

V = 36,000/4900

V = 7.35 m³

Answer

The rate at which the magnetic field is changing is  [tex][\frac{dB}{dt} ] = 0.000467 T/s[/tex]

Explanation

From the question we are told that

   The electric field strength is [tex]E = 3.5mV/m = 3.5 *10^{-3} \ V/m[/tex]

    The radius is  [tex]r = 1.5 \ m[/tex]

The rate of change of the  magnetic  field  is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\frac{d \phi }{dt} = \int\limits^{} {E \cdot dl}[/tex]

Where [tex]dl[/tex] is change of a unit length

     [tex]\frac{d \phi}{dt} = A * \frac{dB}{dt}[/tex]

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

     [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

    So

    [tex]E \int\limits^{} { dl} = ( \pi r^2) (\frac{dB}{dt} )[/tex]  

  [tex]E L = ( \pi r^2) (\frac{dB}{dt} )[/tex]  

where L is the circumference of the circle which is mathematically represented as

     [tex]L = 2 \pi r[/tex]

So

     [tex]E (2 \pi r ) = (\pi r^2 ) [\frac{dB}{dt} ][/tex]

      [tex]E = \frac{r}{2} [\frac{dB}{dt} ][/tex]

       [tex][\frac{dB}{dt} ] = \frac{E}{ \frac{r}{2} }[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex][\frac{dB}{dt} ] = \frac{3.5 *10^{-3}}{ \frac{15}{2} }[/tex]

      [tex][\frac{dB}{dt} ] = 0.000467 T/s[/tex]    

Answer:

18 N

Explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula.

f= m*a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

We know the desk has a mass of 36 kilograms. We also know that its acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2.

m= 36 kg

a= 0.5 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

f= 36 kg * 0.5 m/s^2

Multiply 36 and 0.5

f=18 kg m/s^2

1 kg m/s^2 is equivalent to 1 Newton, or N.

f= 18 Newtons

The force being applied is 18 kg m/s^2, Newtons, or N

Answer:

Explanation:

According to snell's law which states that the ratio of the sin of incidence (i) to the angle of refraction(n) is a constant for a given pair of media.

sini/sinr = n

n is the constant = refractive index

Since the diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat, the refractive index n = nw/ng

nw is the refractive index of water and ng is that of glass

sini/sinr = nw/ng

given i = 30°, nw = 1.33, ng = 1.5, r = angle the light leave the glass

On substitution;

sin 30/sinr = 1.33/1.5

1.5sin30 = 1.33sinr

sinr = 1.5sin30/1.33

sinr = 0.75/1.33

sinr = 0.5639

r = arcsin0.5639

r ≈35°

angle the light leave the glass is 35°

Answer:

T = 676 N

Explanation:

Given that: f = 65 Hz, L = 2.0 m, and ρ = 5.0 g[tex]/m^{2}[/tex] = 0.005 kg

A stationary wave that is set up in the string has a frequency of;

f = [tex]\frac{1}{2L}[/tex][tex]\sqrt{\frac{T}{M} }[/tex]

⇒      T = 4[tex]L^{2}[/tex][tex]f^{2}[/tex]M

Where: t is the tension in the wire, L is the length of the wire, f is the frequency of the waves produced by the wire and M is the mass per unit length of the wire.

But M = L × ρ = (2 × 0.005) = 0.01 kg/m

T = 4 × [tex]2^{2}[/tex] ×[tex]65^{2}[/tex] × 0.01

   = 4 × 4 ×4225 × 0.01

   = 676 N

Tension of the wire is 676 N.

Complete question is;

Assuming 100% efficient energy conversion how much water stored behind a 50 centimeter high hydroelectric dam would be required to charge the battery with power rating, 12 V, 50 Ampere-minutes.

Answer:

Amount of water required to charge the battery = 7.35 m³

Explanation:

The formula for Potential energy of the water at that height = mgh

Where;

m = mass of the water

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of water = 50 cm = 0.5 m

We know that in density, m = ρV

Where;

ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

V = volume of water

So, potential energy is now given as;

Potential energy = ρVgH = 1000 × V × 9.8 × 0.5 = (4900V) J

Now, formula for energy of the battery is given as;

E = qV

We are given;

q = 50 A.min = 50 × 60 = 3,000 C

V = 12 V

Thus;

qV = 3,000 × 12 = 36,000 J

E = 36,000 J

At a 100% conversion rate, the energy of the water totally powers the battery.

Thus;

(4900V) = (36,000)

4900V = 36,000

V = 36,000/4900

V = 7.35 m³

Answer:

a. 63.89°  in the north-southward manner

b.  2.2 sec

Explanation:

The goose is flying at 100 km/h

Air from east to west is 44 km/h

angle relative to the north-south direction for the bird to travel south will be

cos∅ = 44/100 = 0.44

∅ = [tex]cos^{-1}[/tex]0.44 = 63.89°  in the north-southward manner

Speed south relative to the ground will be v

Tan 63.89 = v/100

2.04 = v/100

v = 2.04 x 100 = 204 km/hr

to cover a distance of 450 m from north to south at this speed time will be

t = d/v = 450/204 = 2.2 sec

Answer:

a. about 20 years younger

b. Malcolm sits around for 49.94 years

c. 2.268x[tex]10^{17}[/tex] m

Explanation:

light travels 3x[tex]10^{8}[/tex] m in one seconds

in 20 years that will be 3x[tex]10^{8}[/tex] x 20 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 1.89x[tex]10^{17}[/tex] m

for the to and fro journey, total distance covered will be 2 x 1.89x[tex]10^{17}[/tex]  = 3.78x[tex]10^{17}[/tex] m

Flo's speed = 80% of speed of light = 0.8 x 3x[tex]10^{8}[/tex]  = 2.4x[tex]10^{8}[/tex]  m/s

time that will pass for Malcolm will be  distance/speed = 3.78x[tex]10^{17}[/tex] /2.4x[tex]10^{8}[/tex]  

= 1575000000 s = 49.94 years

the relativistic time t' will be

t' = t x [tex]\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }[/tex]

t' = 49.94 x [tex]\sqrt{1 - 0.8^{2} }[/tex]

t' = 49.94 x 0.6 = 29.96 years       this is the time that has passed for Flo

this means that Flo will be about 20 years younger than Malcolm when she returns

relativistic distance is

d' = d x [tex]\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }[/tex]

d' = 3.78x[tex]10^{17}[/tex] x [tex]\sqrt{1 - 0.8^{2} }[/tex]

d' = 3.78x[tex]10^{17}[/tex] x 0.6

d' = 2.268x[tex]10^{17}[/tex] m     this is how far it is to Flo

Gravity

Explanation:

The solar system is held together by rotational forces and gravity. This can be seen from billions of years ago when the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas. This cloud of dust and gas is known as the solar nebula. All of these dust and gas were brought together by the rotational movement as well as the action of gravity which brought all the particles together to form a larger one. This alone brought about the sun's formation in the center of the nebula as well the formation of other planetary bodies, etc.

Answer:

1.25 m/s^2

Explanation:

F = m*a ...... force = mass * acceleration

force = 100 N, mass = 80 kg

100 = 80 * a

100/80 = a = 1.25 m/s^2

Answer:

The acceleration is 1.25m/s².

Explanation:

You have to apply Newton's Second Law which is F = m×a where F represents force, m is mass and a is acceleratipn. Then you have to substitute the following values into the formula :

[tex]f = m \times a[/tex]

Let F = 100,

Let m = 80,

[tex]100 = 80 \times a[/tex]

[tex]100 = 80a[/tex]

[tex]a = 100 \div 80[/tex]

[tex]a = 10 \div 8[/tex]

[tex]a = 1.25[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T[/tex]

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field, you use the following formula for the calculation of the magnetic field generated by a current in a wire:

[tex]B=\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}[/tex]

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

I: current = 6.0 A

r: distance to the wire in which magnetic field is measured

In this case, you have four wires at corners of a square of length 9.0cm = 0.09m

You calculate the magnetic field in one corner. Then, you have to sum the contribution of all magnetic field generated by the other three wires, in the other corners. Furthermore, you have to take into account the direction of such magnetic fields. The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand side rule.

If you assume that the magnetic field is measured in the up-right corner of the square, the wire to the left generates a magnetic field (in the corner in which you measure B) with direction upward (+ j), the wire down (down-right) generates a magnetic field with direction to the left (- i)  and the third wire generates a magnetic field with a direction that is 45° over the horizontal in the left direction (you can notice that in the image attached below). The total magnetic field will be:

[tex]B_T=B_1+B_2+B_3\\\\B_{T}=\frac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r_1}\hat{j}-\frac{\mu_o I_2}{2\pi r_2}\hat{i}+\frac{\mu_o I_3}{2\pi r_3}[-cos45\hat{i}+sin45\hat{j}][/tex]

I1 = I2 = I3 = 6.0A

r1 = 0.09m

r2 = 0.09m

[tex]r_3=\sqrt{(0.09)^2+(0.09)^2}m=0.127m[/tex]

Then you have:

[tex]B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{r_2}-\frac{cos45}{r_3})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{sin45}{r_3})\hat{j}}]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{0.09m}-\frac{cos45}{0.127m})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{0.09m}+\frac{sin45}{0.127m})]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[-16.67\hat{i}+16.67\hat{j}]\\\\B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T[/tex]

Answer:

E = -4556.18 N/m

Explanation:

Given data

u = 3.6×10^6 m/sec

angle = 34°

distance x = 1.5 cm = 1.5×10^-2 m  (This data has been assumed not given in

Question)

from the projectile motion the horizontal distance traveled by electron is

x = u×cosA×t

⇒t = x/(u×cos A)

We also know that force in an electric field is given as

F = qE

q= charge , E= strength of electric field

By newton 2nd law of motion

ma = qE

⇒a = qE/m

Also, y = u×sinA×t - 0.5×a×t^2

⇒y = u×sinA×t - 0.5×(qE/m)×t^2

if y = 0 then

⇒t = 2mu×sinA/(qE) = x/(u×cosA)

Also, E = 2mu^2×sinA×cosA/(x×q)

Now plugging the values we get

E = 2×9.1×10^{-31}×3.6^2×10^{12}×(sin34°)×(cos34°)/(1.5×10^{-2}×(-1.6)×10^{-19})

E = -4556.18 N/m

The value of Ey such that the particle will cross the x axis at x=1.5 cm is -4556.18 N/m.

The field developed when a charge is moved. In this field, a charge experiences an electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion depending on the nature of charge.

Given is a particle leaves the origin with a speed of 3.6 x 10⁶ m/s at 34 degrees to the positive x axis. It moves in a uniform electric field directed along positive y axis.

The distance x = 1.5 cm = 1.5×10⁻² m (assumed, not given in question)

The horizontal distance traveled by particle is

x = ucosθt

t = x/ucosθ

The force in an electric field is F = qE...................(1)

where, q is charge , E is the strength of electric field

From, newton 2nd law of motion, Force F = ma.................(2)

Equating both the equations, we get

ma = qE

a = qE/m..................(3)

The vertical distance, y =usinθt - 1/2at²

From equation 3, we have

y = usinθt  -  1/2 (qE/m) t²

if y = 0, t = 2musinθ/(qE) = x / (ucosθ)

The electric field is represented as

Also, E = 2mu²×sinθ×cosθ/(xq)

Plug the values, we get

E = 2×(9.1×10⁻³¹)×(3.6 x 10⁶)²×sin34°×cos34°/( 1.5×10⁻² ×(-1.6)×10⁻¹⁹)

E = -4556.18 N/m

Thus, the electric field of the particle is  -4556.18 N/m.

Answer:

Thus, the energy stored by a 50 Ampere minute battery is found to be  36 KJ.

Explanation:

The power delivered by a battery is given by the formula:

P = VI

where,

P = Power Delivered by battery in 1 second

V = Voltage of battery = 12 volt

I = Current stored in battery

But, if we multiply both sides of equation by time (t), then:

Pt = VIt

where,

Pt = Power x Time = E = Energy Stored = ?

It = Rating of Battery = (50 A.min)(60 sec/min) = 3000 A.sec

Therefore,

E = (12 volt)(3000 A.sec)

E = 36000 J = 36 KJ

Thus, the energy stored by a 50 Ampere minute battery is found to be  36 KJ.

a) [tex]E = 6.024\,USD[/tex], For m kilograms, it is 4184m J., 3600000 joules, b) [tex]i = 88.200\,A[/tex]

Explanation:

a) The amount of heat needed to warm water is given by the following expression:

[tex]Q_{needed} = m_{w}\cdot c_{w}\cdot (T_{f}-T_{i})[/tex]

Where:

[tex]m_{w}[/tex] - Mass of water, measured in kilograms.

[tex]c_{w}[/tex] - Specific heat of water, measured in [tex]\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex].

[tex]T_{f}[/tex], [tex]T_{i}[/tex] - Initial and final temperatures, measured in [tex]^{\circ}C[/tex].

Then,

[tex]Q_{needed} = (1440\,kg)\cdot \left(4184\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (40^{\circ}C - 10^{\circ}C)[/tex]

[tex]Q_{needed} = 180748800\,J[/tex]

The energy needed in kilowatt-hours is:

[tex]Q_{needed} = 180748800\,J\times \left(\frac{1}{3600000}\,\frac{kWh}{J} \right)[/tex]

[tex]Q_{needed} = 50.208\,kWh[/tex]

The electric energy required to heat up the water is:

[tex]E = \frac{50.208\,kWh}{0.75}[/tex]

[tex]E = 66.944\,kWh[/tex]

Lastly, the cost of heating a hot tub is: (USD - US dollars)

[tex]E = (66.944\,kWh)\cdot \left(0.09\,\frac{USD}{kWh} \right)[/tex]

[tex]E = 6.024\,USD[/tex]

The heat needed to raise the temperature a degree of a kilogram of water is 4184 J. For m kilograms, it is 4184m J. Besides, a kilowatt-hour is equal to 3600000 joules.

b) The current required for the electric heater is:

Answer:

a = 1.72 m/s²

Explanation:

The given kinematic equation is the 2nd equation of motion. The equation is as follows:

xf = xi + (Vi)(t) + (1/2)(a)t²

where,

xf = the final position =  5000 m

xi = the initial position = 1000 m

Vi = the initial velocity = 15 m/s

t = the time taken = 60 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

5000 m = 1000 m + (15 m/s)(60 s) + (1/2)(a)(60 s)²

5000 m = 1000 m + 900 m + a(1800 s²)

5000 m = 1900 m + a(1800 s²)

5000 m - 1900 m = a(1800 s²)

a(1800 s²) = 3100 m

a = 3100 m/1800 s²

a = 1.72 m/s²

Density = Mass /volume

Density = 18.15g/1.728cm³

Density of the metal = 10.50g/cm³

Comparing the density of metal obtained with the densities given in the table above, we can see that the density of the metal is the same with that of silver.

Therefore, the metal is silver.

Answer:

  a) -5.26 m/s

  b) 27.91 m

Explanation:

a) The acceleration due to gravity makes the velocity increase in magnitude in a linear way. The average velocity over the interval will be equal to the actual velocity halfway through the interval. The velocity at the beginning of the interval will be higher (less negative) by the amount velocity changes in the first half of the interval.

  average velocity = (0 -(26.5 m))/(1.85 s) ≈ -14.324 m/s

The change in velocity in the first half of the interval is ...

  Δv = (Δt/2)×(-9.8 m/s²) = (1.85 s)(-4.9 m/s²) = -9.065 m/s

So, the initial velocity (at the beginning of the last 1.85 s interval) is ...

  v1 = (average velocity) -Δv = (-14.324 m/s) -(-9.065 m/s)

  v1 = -5.259 m/s

__

b) The velocity when the object hits the ground is ...

  v2 = average velocity +Δv = -14.324 m/s -9.065 m/s = -23.389 m/s

This is related to the distance traveled by ...

  v² = 2dg . . . . . where g is the acceleration and d is the distance traveled

  d = v²/(2g) = 23.389²/(2·9.8) = 27.911 . . . . meters

The object travels a total distance of about 27.911 meters.
