is the acceleration of this object?
t(s) v(m/s)
0.0
9.0
1.0
4.0
2.0
-1.0
3.0
-6.0
A. -5.0 m/s2
B. -2.0 m/s2
C. 4.0 m/s2
D. 0.0 m/s2
Answer:
Option A. –5 m/s²
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (v₁) = 9 m/s
Initial time (t₁) = 0 s
Final velocity (v₂) = –6 m/s
Final time (t₂) = 3 s
Acceleration (a) =?
Next, we shall determine the change in the velocity and time. This can be obtained as follow:
For velocity:
Initial velocity (v₁) = 9 m/s
Final velocity (v₂) = –6 m/s
Change in velocity (Δv) =?
ΔV = v₂ – v₁
ΔV = –6 – 9
ΔV = –15 m/s
For time:
Initial time (t₁) = 0 s
Final time (t₂) = 3 s
Change in time (Δt) =?
Δt = t₂ – t₁
Δt = 3 – 0
Δt = 3 s
Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Change in velocity (Δv) = –15 m/s
Change in time (Δt) = 3 s
Acceleration (a) =?
a = Δv / Δt
a = –15 / 3
a = –5 m/s²
Thus, the acceleration of the object is
–5 m/s².
A popular car stereo has four speakers, each rated at 60 W. In answering the following questions, assume that the speakers produce sound at their maximum power.
A) Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by one 60-Wspeaker at a distance of 1.0 m.
B) Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by one 60-Wspeaker at a distance of 1.5 m.
C) Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by four 60-Wspeakers as heard by the driver. Assume that the driver is located 1.0 m from each of the two front speakers and 1.5 m from each of the two rear speakers.
D)The threshold of hearing is defined as the minimum discernible intensity of the sound. It is approximately 10^(-12) W/m2. Find the distance dfrom the car at which the sound from the stereo can still be discerned. Assume that the windows are rolled down and that each speaker actually produces 0.06 W of sound, as suggested in the last follow-up comment.
Answer:
Explanation:
Intensity of sound = sound energy emitted by source / 4 π d² , where d is distance of the source .
A )
Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /4 π d²
d = 1 m
Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /(4 π 1²)
= 4.78 W m⁻² s⁻¹
B )
Intensity of sound at 1.5 m distance = 60 /4 π d²
d = 1.5 m
Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /(4 π 1.5²)
= 2.12 W m⁻² s⁻¹
C )
Intensity of sound due to 4 speakers at 1.5 m distance = 4 x 60 /4 π d²
d = 1.5 m
= 4 x 60 /(4 π 1.5²)
= 8.48 W m⁻² s⁻¹
D )
Intensity of sound due to .06 W speaker must be 10⁻¹² W s ⁻² . Let the distance be d .
.06 /4 π d² = 10⁻¹²
d² = .06 /4 π 10⁻¹²
d = 6.9 x 10⁴ m .
A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 13 rad/s. During a 8-s interval the angular velocity increases to 57 rad/s. Assume that the angular acceleration was constant during this time interval. How many revolutions does the wheel turn through during this time interval
Answer:
The number of revolutions is 44.6.
Explanation:
We can find the revolutions of the wheel with the following equation:
[tex]\theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\omega_{0}[/tex]: is the initial angular velocity = 13 rad/s
t: is the time = 8 s
α: is the angular acceleration
We can find the angular acceleration with the initial and final angular velocities:
[tex] \omega_{f} = \omega_{0} + \alpha t [/tex]
Where:
[tex] \omega_{f} [/tex]: is the final angular velocity = 57 rad/s
[tex] \alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega_{0}}{t} = \frac{57 rad/s - 13 rad/s}{8 s} = 5.5 rad/s^{2} [/tex]
Hence, the number of revolutions is:
[tex] \theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2} = 13 rad/s*8 s + \frac{1}{2}*5.5 rad/s^{2}*(8 s)^{2} = 280 rad*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 44.6 rev [/tex]
Therefore, the number of revolutions is 44.6.

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC
Take the coefficient of expansion to be 25 x 10-6 (oC)-1 . Write the answer in meters with three significant figures
Answer:
ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m
Explanation:
This is a thermal expansion exercise
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT
ΔT = T_f - T₀
where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature
Let's reduce the length to SI units
L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m
let's calculate
ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))
ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m
using the criterion of three significant figures
ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

A block of mass M is connected by a string and pulley to a hanging mass m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block M and the table is 0.2, and also, M = 20 kg, m = 10 kg. How far will block m drop in the first seconds after the system is released?
How long will block M move during above time?
At the time, calculate the velocity of block M
Find out the deceleration of the block M, if the connected string is
removal by cutting after the first second. Then, calculate the time
taken to contact block M and pulley.
Answer:
a) y = 0.98 t², t=1s y= 0.98 m,
b) he two blocks must move the same distance
c) v = 1.96 m / s, d) a = -1.96 m / s², e) x = 0.98 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we can use Newton's second law
Big Block
Y axis
N-W = 0
N = M g
X axis
T- fr = Ma
the friction force has the expression
fr = μ N
fr = μ Mg
small block
w- T = m a
we write the system of equations
T - fr = M a
mg - T = m a
we add and resolved
mg- μ Mg = (M + m) a
a = [tex]g \ \frac{m - \mu M}{m+M}[/tex]
a = [tex]9.8 \ \frac{10- 0.2 \ 20}{ 10 \ +\ 20}[/tex]
a = 9.8 (6/30)
a = 1.96 m / s²
a) now we can use the kinematic relations
y = v₀ t + ½ a t²
the blocks come out of rest so their initial velocity is zero
y = ½ a t²
y = ½ 1.96 t²
y = 0.98 t²
for t = 1s y = 0.98 m
t = 2s y = 1.96 m
b) Time is a scale that is the same for the entire system, the question should be oriented to how far the big block will move.
As the curda is in tension the two blocks must move the same distance
c) the velocity of the block M
v = vo + a t
v = 0 + 1.96 t
for t = 1 s v = 1.96 m / s
t = 2 s v = 3.92 m / s
d) the deceleration if the chain is cut
when removing the chain the tension becomes zero
-fr = M a
- μ M g = M a
a = - μ g
a = - 0.2 9.8
a = -1.96 m / s²
e) the distance to stop the block is
v² = vo² - 2 a x
0 = vo² - 2a x
x = vo² / 2a
x = 1.96² / 2 1.96
x = 0.98 m
the time to travel this distance is
v = vo - a t
t = vo / a
t = 1.96 /1.96
t = 1 s
How do the magnitude and direction of the electric field on the left side of the dipole compare to the right side for the same distance
Answer:
The magnitude of the electric field is same while the direction at the left and at the right is opposite to each other.
Explanation:
The direction of the electric field due to the dipole on the axial line is same as the direction of dipole moment.
The magnitude of the electric field due to an electric dipole on its axial line is
[tex]E=\frac{2kp}{r^3}[/tex]
where, k is the constant, p is the electric dipole moment and r is the distance from the center of dipole.
The magnitude of the electric field is same while the direction at the left and at the right is opposite to each other.
If the potential (relative to infinity) due to a point charge is V at a distance R from this charge, the distance at which the potential (relative to infinity) is 2V is
A. 4R
B. 2R
C. R/2.
D. R/4
Answer:
R/2
Explanation:
The potential at a distance r is given by :
[tex]V=\dfrac{kq}{r}[/tex]
Where
k is electrostatic constant
q is the charge
The potential (relative to infinity) due to a point charge is V at a distance R from this charge. So,
[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]\dfrac{V}{2V}=\dfrac{r_2}{R}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{r_2}{R}\\\\r_2=\dfrac{R}{2}[/tex]
So, the distance at which the potential (relative to infinity) is 2V is R/2.A solenoid 10.0 cm in diameter and 85.1 cm long is made from copper wire of diameter 0.100 cm, with very thin insulation. The wire is wound onto a cardboard tube in a single layer, with adjacent turns touching each other. What power must be delivered to the solenoid if it is to produce a field of 8.90 mT at its center
Answer:
P = 29.3 W
Explanation:
The magnetic field in a solenoid is
B = μ₀ n i
i = B /μ₀ n
where n is the density of turns
We can use a direct rule of proportions or rule of three to find the number of turns, 1 a turn has a diameter of 0.100 cm = 10⁻³ m, in the length of
L= 85.1 cm = 0.851 m how many turns there are
#_threads = 0.851 / 10⁻³
#_threads = 8.50 10³ turns
the density of turns is
n = # _threads / L
n = 8.51 103 / 0.851
n = 104 turn / m
the current that must pass through the solenoid is
i = 8.90 10-3 / 4pi 10-7 104
i = 0.70823 A
now let's find the resistance of the copper wire
R = ρ L / A
the resistivity of copper is ρ = 1.72 10⁻⁸ Ω m
wire area
A = π r²
A = π (5 10⁻⁴)
A = 7,854 10⁻⁷ m²
let's find the length of wire to build the coil, the length of a turn is
Lo = 2π r = ππ d
Lo = π 0.100
Lo = 0.314159 m / turn
With a direct proportion rule we find the length of the wire to construct the 8.5 103 turns
L = Lo #_threads
L = 0.314159 8.50 10³
L = 2.67 10³ m
resistance is
R = 1.72 10⁻⁸ 2.67 10₃ / 7.854 10⁻⁷
R = 5,847 10¹
R = 58.47 ohm
The power to be supplied to the coil is
P = VI = R i²
P = 58.47 0.70823²
P = 29.3 W

Astronauts in space move a toolbox from its initial position ????????→=<15,14,−8>m to its final position ????????→=<17,14,−1>m. The two astronauts each push on the box with a constant force. Astronaut 1 exerts a force ????1→=<18,7,−12>???? and astronaut 2 exerts a force ????2→=<16,−10,16>????.
Required:
What is the total work performed on the toolbox?
If both forces are measured in Newtons, then the net force is
F = (18, 7, -12) N + (16, -10, 16) N = (34, -3, 4) N
The toolbox undergoes a displacement (i.e. change in position) in the direction of the vector
d = (17, 14, -1) m - (15, 14, -8) m = (2, 0, -9) m
The total work done by the astronauts on the toolbox is then
F • d = (34, -3, 4) N • (2, 0, -9) m = (68 + 0 - 36) N•m = 32 J
The work done by the two astronauts is equal to 96 J.
What is work done?work done?Work done is defined as the product of force applied and the distance moved by the force.
Work done = Force × DistanceThe forces applied = 18+16 N, 7+ -10 N, and -12 + 16N
Forces = 34 N, -3 N, and 4N
Distances = (17 - 15, 14 - 14, -1 - - 8) m
Distances = 2, 0, 7
Work done = 34 × 2 + -3 × 0 + 4 × 7
Work done = 96 J
Therefore, the work done by the two astronauts is equal to 96 J.

A car is moving at a speed of 60 mi/hr (88 ft/sec) on a straight road when the driver steps on the brake pedal and begins decelerating at a constant rate of 10ft/s2 for 3 seconds. How far did the car go during this 3 second interval?
Answer:
219 ft
Explanation:
Here we can define the value t = 0s as the moment when the car starts decelerating.
At this point, the acceleration of the car is given by the equation:
A(t) = -10 ft/s^2
Where the negative sign is because the car is decelerating.
To get the velocity equation of the car, we integrate over time, to get:
V(t) = (-10 ft/s^2)*t + V0
Where V0 is the initial velocity of the car, we know that this is 88 ft/s
Then the velocity equation is:
V(t) = (-10 ft/s^2)*t + 88ft/s
To get the position equation we need to integrate again, this time we get:
P(t) = (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (88ft/s)*t + P0
Where P0 is the initial position of the car, we do not know this, but it does not matter for now.
We want to find the total distance that the car traveled in a 3 seconds interval.
This will be equal to the difference in the position at t = 3s and the position at t = 0s
distance = P(3s) - P(0s)
= ( (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*(3s)^2+ (88ft/s)*3s + P0) - ( (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*(0s)^2 + (88ft/s)*0s + P0)
= ( (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*9s^2+ (88ft/s)*3s + P0) - ( P0)
= (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*9s^2+ (88ft/s)*3s = 219ft
The car advanced a distance of 219 ft in the 3 seconds interval.

The two balls swing up together just after the collision to their highest point. energy is conserved.
What is the law of conservation of momentum?According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.
According to the law of conservation of momentum
Momentum before collision =Momentum after collision
When the first ball is released and just before it hits the stationary ball, The two balls collide, The two balls swing up together just after the collision to their highest point. energy is conserved.
The balls swing like pendulums. During the collision in part (2) energy is conserved as the collision is inelastic.
We are requested to describe the conservation methods for each element of the activity in this exercise.
Because the bodies do not change in sections 1 and 3, energy is conserved.
Because the bodies change in part 2 is joined, the moment is conserved and some of the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy.

A wave pulse travels along a stretched string at a speed of 200 cm/s. What will be the speed if:
a. The string's tension is doubled?
b. The string's mass is quadrupled (but its length is unchanged)?
c. The string's length is quadrupled (but its mass is unchanged)?
d. The string's mass and length are both quadrupled?
Answer:
a. 282.84 cm/s b. 100 cm/s c. 400 cm/s d. 200 cm/s
Explanation:
The speed of the wave v = √(T/μ) where T = tension and μ = mass per unit length = m/l where m = mass of string and l = length of string.
So, v = √(T/μ)
v = √(T/m/l)
v = √(Tl/m)
a. The string's tension is doubled?
If the tension is doubled, T' = 2T the new speed is
v' = √(T'l/m)
v' = √(2Tl/m)
v' = √2(√Tl/m)
v' = √2v
v' = √2 × 200 cm/s
v' = 282.84 cm/s
b. The string's mass is quadrupled (but its length is unchanged)?
If the mass is quadrupled, m' = 4m the new speed is
v' = √(Tl/m')
v' = √(Tl/4m)
v' = (1/√4)(√Tl/m)
v' = v/2
v' = 200/2 cm/s
v' = 100 cm/s
c. The string's length is quadrupled (but its mass is unchanged)?
If the length is quadrupled, l' = 4l the new speed is
v' = √(Tl'/m)
v' = √(T(4l)/m)
v' = √4)(√Tl/m)
v' = 2v
v' = 200 × 2 cm/s
v' = 400 cm/s
d. The string's mass and length are both quadrupled?
If the length is quadrupled, l' = 4l and mass quadrupled, m' = 4m, the new speed is
v' = √(Tl'/m')
v' = √(T(4l)/4m)
v' = √(Tl/m)
v' = v
v' = 200 cm/s
A cannon and a supply of cannonballs are inside a sealed railroad car of length L, as in Fig. 7-33. The cannon fires to the right; the car recoils to the left. The cannonballs remain in the car after hitting the far wall. (a) After all the cannonballs have been fired, what is the greatest distance the car can have moved from its original position
Answer:
Initially let n cannonballs with a total mass of m be to the left of the center of mass at L /2 and the mass of the car at L/2
x1 = [-m / (m + M)] * L / 2 is the original position of the CM
x2 = (m (x + L/2) + M x) / (m + M) * L/2 final position of CM with all cannon balls to the right
[-m x - m L / 2 + m x - M x] / (M + m) * L/2
= - ( m L / 2 + M x) / (m + M) * L/2 = Xcm
Check the math, but maximum distance occurs when the cannonballs of mass m move from -L/2 to L/2 and the car of mass M moves from zero to -x
what is Friction
short note on friction
Answer:
Explanation:
Friction can be defined as a force that resists the relative motion of two objects when there surface comes in contact. Thus, it prevents two surface from easily sliding over or slipping across one another. Also, friction usually reduces the efficiency and mechanical advantage of machines but can be reduced through lubrication.
Generally, there are four (4) main types of friction and these includes;
I. Static friction.
II. Rolling friction.
III. Sliding friction.
IV. Fluid friction.

Answer:
A) E = 8740 N/C
B) E = -6536 N/C
Explanation:
The formula for electric field is;
E = kq/r²
Where;
q is charge
k is a constant with value 8.99 x 10^(9) N•m²/C²
A) Now, to find the net electric field at point A, the formula would now be;
E = (kq1/(r1)²) - (kq2/(r2)²)
Where;
r1 is distance from charge q1 to point A
r2 is distance from charge q2 to point A.
q1 = -6.25 nC = -6.25 × 10^(-9) C
q2 = -12.5 nC = -12 5 × 10^(-9) C
From the attached image, r1 = 25 cm - 10 cm = 15 cm = 0.15 m
r2 = 10 cm = 0.1 m
Thus;
E = (8.99 x 10^(9)) × ((-6.25 × 10^(-9))/0.15^(2)) - ((-12.5 × 10^(-9))/0.1^(2))
E = 8740 N/C
B) similarly, electric field at point B;
E = (kq1/(r1)²) + (kq2/(r2)²)
Where;
r1 is distance from charge q1 to point B
r2 is distance from charge q2 to point B.
q1 = -6.25 nC = -6.25 × 10^(-9) C
q2 = -12.5 nC = -12 5 × 10^(-9) C
From the attached image, r1 = 10 cm = 0.1 m
r2 = 25cm + 10 cm = 35 cm = 0.35 m
Thus;
E = (8.99 x 10^(9)) × ((-6.25 × 10^(-9))/0.1^(2)) + ((-12.5 × 10^(-9))/0.35^(2))
E = -6536 N/C
