Further explanation

Given

17.4 g bullet

5506 g wooden

The velocity of the block+bullet :1.61 m/s

Required

The initial speed

Solution

Momentum

m₁v₁+m₂v₂=m₁v₁'+m₂v₂'

v₂=0 ⇒block at rest

v₁'=v₂'=1.61 m/s

Two cellists, one seated directly behind the other in an orchestra, play the same note for the conductor who is directly in front of them. Because of the separation between the cellists, destructive interference occurs at the conductor. This separation is the smallest that produces destructive interference. Would this separation increase, decrease, or remain the same if the cellists produced a note with a higher frequency

Answers

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

In order to have a destructive interference, the path difference between the sources of the sound, must be equal to an odd multiple of the semi-wavelength, as follows: ⇒ d = d₂ - d₁ = n*(λ/2) The minimum posible value for this distance, is when n=1, as it can be seen here: dmin = λ/2 In any traveling wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the wave speed, the frequency and the wavelength: v = λ*f Therefore, assuming that the speed of sound keeps constant, if the frequency is increased, in order to keep the right side of the expression above balanced, λ must be decreased.As the smallest separation that produces destructive interference is directly proportional to the wavelength, this means that this separation will decrease if the cellists produced a note with a higher frequency.

A spring with an unknown spring constant is hung vertically, and a 200 g (0.200 kg) mass is attached to the bottom. If the spring stretches 0.250 m from its resting position to the position at which the hanging mass is in equilibrium, what is the spring constant of this spring?

Answers

Answer:

k = 7.84 N/m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass hanging object; m = 0.2 kg

Extension; Δx = 0.25 m

Now, formula for the force is;

F = k•Δx

Where k is the spring constant

Since we have mass, then F = W = mg = 0.2 × 9.8 = 1.96 N

Thus;

1.96 = k × 0.25

k = 1.96/0.25

k = 7.84 N/m

A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 17.9 km. The trip took 26.6 min.
a) What was her average speed, in kilometers per hour?
b) IS she returned home by the same path 7 h 30 min after she left, what was her average speed and velocity for the entire trip?

Answers

Answer:

See calculation below

Explanation:

Average speed = Distance/Time

a) Given

Distance = 17.9km

Time = 26.6minutes

Time = 26.6/60 hr

Time = 0.443hr

Average speed  = 17.9/0.443

Average speed = 40.38km/hr

b) If she returned home by the same path 7 h 30 min after she left, the distance will be the same;

Distance = 17.9km

Time = 7.5hr

Average speed = 17.9/7.5

Average speed = 2.387km/hr

Velocity of the entire trip = 40.38km/hr + 2.387km/hr

Velocity of the entire trip = 42.77km/hr

Hence the velocity of the entire trip is 42.77km/hr

Two stationary positive point charges, charge 1 of magnitude 3.95 nC and charge 2 of magnitude 1.80 nC, are separated by a distance of 39.0 cm. An electron is released from rest at the point midway between the two charges, and it moves along the line connecting the two charges.What is the speed of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from charge 1?

Answers

Answer:

the speed of the electron from charge q1 is 7.17×10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the potential at the center of the two charges will be;

V = k( q1/(d/2) + q2/(d/2)

so we substitute

V = (9×10⁹)( (3.95×10⁻⁹/(0.39/2) + 1.80×10⁻⁹/(0.39/2)

V = 265.4 V

the potential at a distance of 10 cm from the charges will be

V = k( q1/(d1) + q2/(d2)

(d1 = 10cm = 0.1m and d2 = 39cm - 10cm = 29cm = 0.29m )

V' = (9×10⁹)( (3.95×10⁻⁹/0.1 + 1.80×10⁻⁹/0.29

V' = 411.4 V

Now, from the conservation of energy the speed of the electron from charge q1 will be;

E = ( V' - V) qe

1/2mv² = ( V' - V) qe

v² = [( V' - V) qe] / 1/2m

v =√ ([( V' - V) qe] / 1/2m)

v =√ ([2( V' - V) qe] / m)

we substitute

v =√ (2[( 411.4  - 265.4) 1.6×10⁻¹⁹] / 9.1×10³¹)

v = 7.17×10⁶ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the electron from charge q1 is 7.17×10⁶ m/s

A bird lands on a bird feeder which is connected to a spring. The mass of the bird is exactly the same as the mass of the bird feeder. How does the added mass affect the period of oscillation of the bird feeder?

Answers

Answer:

The added mass will mean a longer period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation here is given by the formula;

T = 2π√(m/k)

Where m is mass and k is spring constant

From the equation of oscillation period above, it's obvious that when we increase the mass, the oscillation period will also increase.

Thus, the added mass will mean a longer period of oscillation.

Basketball player Darrell Griffith is on record as
attaining a standing vertical jump of 1.2 m (4 ft).
(This means that he moved upward by 1.2 m after
his feet left the floor.) Griffith weighed 890 N (200
lb). g=9.8 m/s2

1- What is his speed as he leaves the floor?


2- if the time of the part of the jump before his feet left the floor was 0.300s, what was the magnitude of his average acceleration while he was pushing against the floor?

Answers

Explanation:

1.

We use the equation

h = [tex]\frac{gt^2}{2}[/tex], where

h is the height traveled,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and

t is the time taken to reach height h.

We can now calculate t to be

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*1.2 m}{9.81 m/s^2} }[/tex]

= 0.495 s

Let v be the initial velocity of the player.

The player deaccelarates from v m/s to 0 m/s in 0.495 s at the rate of 9.81 m/s^2.

v = 9.81 m/s^2 x 0.495 s = 4.85 m/s

2.

The player takes 0.3 s to increase his velocity from 0 m/s to 4.85 m/s. So his average accelaration is

4.85 m/s / 0.3 s = 16.2 m/s^2

1. A plane starts from rest and aceelerates in a

s=0.5*a*t² (initial speed V0=0)

a=(2*s)/t²

a=(2*600)/12²

a≈8.33 m/s²

L= s(t2=12s)-s(t1=11s) -> (distance during the twelfth second)

L=0.5*a*(t2²-t1²)

L=0.5*((2*s)/t²)*(t2²-t1²)

L=0.5*((2*600)/12²)*(12²-11²)

L ≈ 95.83 m

Answers

Answer:

the principle of conservation of energy cannot be violated.

the correct one is: The total power is equal to the sum of the powers dissipated by the resistors.

Explanation:

The power in an electric circuit is given by

         P == I V

In a circuit with several components (resistors) the power dissipated is the current by the voltage in each resistance, by the principle of conservation of energy the current in each resistance is the same if the circuit is in series and the current is the same if The circuit is in parallel, but cannot be greater than the current supplied by the power source.

Therefore, the power dissipated by the entire circuit is the sum of the power dissipated by each part, since the principle of conservation of energy cannot be violated.

When reviewing the answers, the correct one is: The total power is equal to the sum of the powers dissipated by the resistors.

A light rope is attached to a block with mass 3.60 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope passes over a frictionless, massless pulley, and a block with mass m is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 18.8 N .
(a) Draw two free-body diagrams: one for each block.
(b) What is the acceleration of either block?
(c) Find m.
(d) How does the tension compare to the weight of the hanging block?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The fre-body diagrams for each block is shown below. In the block of mass 3.60 kg, there are 3 forces acting on it: horizontal force due to the rope ([tex]F_{t}[/tex]), vertical gravitational force ([tex]F_{g}[/tex]) and vertical normal force ([tex]F_{n}[/tex]), due to the surface. Since there is no vertical movement, [tex]F_{g}[/tex] and [tex]F_{n}[/tex] cancels it out. So, for this block, net force is horizontal due to the rope [tex]F_{t}[/tex].

The block of mass m is hanging from the pulley, so there is the force of the rope ([tex]F_{t}[/tex]) and the gravitational force ([tex]F_{g}[/tex]). Both are vertical, because there is no surface "holding" block m.

(b) Since both blocks are attached to each other, the acceleration will be the same. To calculate it, we use the Second Law of Motion:

[tex]F_{r}=m.a[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{F_{r}}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{18.8}{3.6}[/tex]

a = 5.22

The acceleration of either block is 5.22 m/s².

(c) Block m has 2 forces acting on it: tension and gravitational force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction the Earth does over an object. It is calculated as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration, which has magnitude g = 9.8 m/s².

Suppose positive referential is going up. To determine mass:

[tex]F_{r}=m.a[/tex]

[tex]F_{t}-F_{g}=m.a[/tex]

[tex]F_{t}-m.g=m.a[/tex]

[tex]18.8-9.8m=5.22m[/tex]

[tex]15.02m=18.8[/tex]

m = 1.25

Block m has 1.25 kg.

(d) Gravitational force is also called weight. So, as described above: [tex]F_{g}=m.g[/tex].

The weight for the hanging block is

[tex]F_{g}=1.25*9.8[/tex]

[tex]F_{g}=[/tex] 12.25 N

Comparing tension and weight:

[tex]\frac{12.25}{18.8}[/tex] ≈ 0.65

We can see that, weight of the hanging block is almost 0.65 times smaller than the tension on the rope.

An ideal monatomic gas initially has a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 5.79 atm. It is to expand from volume 420 cm3 to volume 1450 cm3. If the expansion is isothermal, what are (a) the final pressure and (b) the work done by the gas

Answers

Answer:

a) The final pressure is 1.68 atm.

b) The work done by the gas is 305.3 J.

Explanation:

a) The final pressure of an isothermal expansion is given by:

[tex] T = \frac{PV}{nR} [/tex]

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

[tex] \frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{nR} = \frac{P_{f}V_{f}}{nR} [/tex]

Where:

[tex]P_{i}[/tex]: is the initial pressure = 5.79 atm

[tex]P_{f}[/tex]: is the final pressure =?

[tex]V_{i}[/tex]: is the initial volume = 420 cm³

[tex]V_{f}[/tex]: is the final volume = 1450 cm³

n: is the number of moles of the gas

R: is the gas constant

[tex] P_{f} = \frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{V_{f}} = \frac{5.79 atm*420 cm^{3}}{1450 cm^{3}} = 1.68 atm [/tex]

Hence, the final pressure is 1.68 atm.

b) The work done by the isothermal expansion is:

[tex] W = P_{i}V_{i}ln(\frac{V_{f}}{V_{i}}) = 5.79 atm*\frac{101325 Pa}{1 atm}*420 cm^{3}*\frac{1 m^{3}}{(100 cm)^{3}}ln(\frac{1450 cm^{3}}{420 cm^{3}}) = 305.3 J [/tex]

Therefore, the work done by the gas is 305.3 J.

On the way back you travel half the distance at 75 km/h and the other half at 106 km/h. What is your average speed (a) from San Antonio to Houston, (b) from Houston back to San Antonio, and (c) for the entire trip

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) from San Antonio to Houston let distance be d km .

Average speed = total distance / total time

time = distance / speed

Total time = (d / 2 x 75 ) +( d / 2 x 106 )

= .0067 d + .0047 d

= .0114 d

Average speed  = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h

b ) from Houston back to San Antonio

Total time = (d / 2 x 106 ) +( d / 2 x 75 )

= .0047 d + .0067 d

= .0114 d

Average speed  = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h

c )

For entire trip :

total distance = 2d

total time = 2 x .0114 d

Average speed  = 2 d / 2 x .0114 d

= 87.72 km /h .
