Answer:
Young's modulus for the rope material is 20.8 MPa.
Explanation:
The Young's modulus is given by:
[tex] E = \frac{FL_{0}}{A\Delta L} [/tex]
Where:
F: is the force applied on the wire
L₀: is the initial length of the wire = 3.1 m
A: is the cross-section area of the wire
ΔL: is the change in the length = 0.17 m
The cross-section area of the wire is given by the area of a circle:
[tex] A = \pi r^{2} = \pi (\frac{0.006 m}{2})^{2} = 2.83 \cdot 10^{-5} m^{2} [/tex]
Now we need to find the force applied on the wire. Since the wire is lifting an object, the force is equal to the tension of the wire as follows:
[tex] F = T_{w} = W_{o} [/tex]
Where:
[tex] T_{w} [/tex]: is the tension of the wire
[tex]W_{o} [/tex]: is the weigh of the object = mg
m: is the mass of the object = 1700 kg
g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
[tex] F = mg = 1700 kg*9.81 m/s^{2} = 16677 N [/tex]
Hence, the Young's modulus is:
[tex] E = \frac{16677 N*0.006 m}{2.83 \cdot 10^{-5} m^{2}*0.17 m} = 20.8 MPa [/tex]
Therefore, Young's modulus for the rope material is 20.8 MPa.

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of planet 1 is 22 m/s^2. The radius and the mass of planet 2 are twice those of planet 1. What is the free-fall acceleration on planet 2?
Answer:
g₂ = 11 m/s²
Explanation:
The value of free-fall acceleration on the surface of a planet is given by the following formula:
[tex]g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}[/tex]
where,
g = free-fall acceleration
G = Universal Gravitational Constant
m = mass of the planet
r = radius of planet
FOR PLANET 1:
[tex]g_1 = \frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2}\\\\\frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2} = 22 m/s^2[/tex] --------------------- equation (1)
FOR PLANET 2:
[tex]g_2 = \frac{Gm_2}{r_2^2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{G(2m_1)}{(2r_1)^2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2}\\\\[/tex]
using equation (1):
[tex]g_2 = \frac{g_1}{2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{22\ m/s^2}{2}[/tex]
g₂ = 11 m/s²
A disk rotates about its central axis starting from rest and accelerates with constant angular acceleration. At one time it is rotating at 10 rev/s; 60 revolutions later, its angular speed is 15 rev/s. Calculate
(a) the angular acceleration,
(b) the time required to complete the 60 revolutions,
(c) the time required to reach the 10 rev/s angular speed, and
(d) the number of revolutions from rest until the time the disk reaches the 10 rev/s angular speed.
Explanation:
Given:
[tex]\omega_0[/tex] = 10 rev/s = [tex]20\pi\:\text{rad/s}[/tex]
[tex]\omega[/tex] = 15 rev/s = [tex]30\pi\:\text{rad/s}[/tex]
[tex]\theta[/tex] = 60 rev = [tex]120\pi\:\text{rads}[/tex]
a) the angular acceleration [tex]\alpha[/tex] is given by
[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_0^2}{2\theta}[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{(30\pi)^2 - (20\pi)^2}{240\pi} = 6.5\:\text{rad/s}^2[/tex]
b) [tex]t = \dfrac{\omega - \omega_0}{\alpha} = \dfrac{30\pi - 20\pi}{6.5} = 4.8\:\text{s}[/tex]
c) [tex]t = \dfrac{\omega - \omega_0}{\alpha}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{20\pi - 0}{6.5} = 9.7\:\text{s}[/tex]

The cart travels the track again and now experiences a constant tangential acceleration from point A to point C. The speeds of the cart are 10.6 ft/s at point A and 15.6 ft/s at point C. The cart takes 4.00 s to go from point A to point C, and the cart takes 1.80 s to go from point B to point C. What is the cart's speed at point B
Answer:
a) [tex]a_{avg}=1.25ft/s^2[/tex]
b) [tex]v_b=13.35ft/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Speed at point A [tex]v_A=10.6ft/s[/tex]
Speed at point C [tex]v_C=15.6ft/s[/tex]
Time from Point A to C [tex]T_{ac}=4.00s[/tex]
Time from Point B to C [tex]T_{bc}=1.80s[/tex]
Generally the equation for acceleration From A to B is mathematically given by
[tex]a_{avg}=\frac{v_c-v_a}{\triangle t}[/tex]
[tex]a_{avg}=\frac{15.6-10.6}{4.0 }[/tex]
[tex]a_{avg}=1.25ft/s^2[/tex]
Generally the equation for cart speed at B is mathematically given by
[tex]a_{avg}=\frac{v_c-v_a}{T_{bc}}[/tex]
[tex]v_b=v_c-a_{avg}*T_{bc}[/tex]
[tex]v_b=15.6ft/s-(1.25ft/s^2)(1.80)[/tex]
[tex]v_b=13.35ft/s[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]6.63\times 10^8\ N/C[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 2.21
We need to find the magnitude of the electric field. Let it is E. So,
[tex]\dfrac{E}{B}=c\\\\E=Bc[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]E=2.21\times 3\times 10^8\\\\=6.63\times 10^8\ N/C[/tex]
So, the magnitude of the electric field is equal to [tex]6.63\times 10^8\ N/C[/tex].
* A ball is projected horizontally from the top of
a building 19.6m high.
a, How long when the ball take to hit the ground?
b, If the line joining the point of projection to
the point where it hits the ground is 45
with the horizontal. What must be the
initial velocity of the ball?
c,with what vertical verocity does the ball strike
the grounds? (9= 9.8 M152)
Explanation:
Given
Ball is projected horizontally from a building of height [tex]h=19.6\ m[/tex]
time taken to reach ground is given by
[tex]\text{Cosidering vertical motion}\\\Rightarrow h=ut+0.5at^2\\\Rightarrow 19.6=0+0.5\times 9.8t^2\\\Rightarrow t^2=4\\\Rightarrow t=2\ s[/tex]
(b) Line joining the point of projection and the point where it hits the ground makes an angle of [tex]45^{\circ}[/tex]
From the figure, it can be written
[tex]\Rightarrow \tan 45^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=h\cdot 1\\\Rightarrow x=19.6[/tex]
Considering horizontal motion
[tex]\Rightarrow x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow 19.6=u_x\times 4\\\Rightarrow u_x=4.9\ m/s[/tex]
(c) The vertical velocity with which it strikes the ground is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow v^2-u_y^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v^2-0=2\times 9.8\times 19.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{384.16}\\\Rightarrow v=19.6\ m/s[/tex]
Thus, the ball strikes with a vertical velocity of [tex]19.6\ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
Ball is projected horizontally from a building of height
time taken to reach ground is given by
(b) Line joining the point of projection and the point where it hits the ground makes an angle of
From the figure, it can be written
Considering horizontal motion
(c) The vertical velocity with which it strikes the ground is given by
Thus, the ball strikes with a vertical velocity of
The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.85g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg. If an 80 kg passenger rode along, what would the car's acceleration be?
Answer:
7.9 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]
Explanation:
Take the fact that mass is inversely proportional to accelertation:
m ∝ a
Therefore m = a, but because we are finding the change in acceleration, we would set our problem up to look more like this:
[tex]\frac{m_{1} }{m_{2} } = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} } \\[/tex]
Using algebra, we can rearrange our equation to find the final acceleration, [tex]a_{2}[/tex]:
[tex]a_{2} = \frac{a_{1}*m_{1} }{m_{2} } \\[/tex]
Before plugging everything in, since you are being asked to find acceleration, you will want to convert 0.85g to m/s^2. To do this, multiply by g, which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2:
0.85g * 9.8 [tex]\frac{m }{s^{2} }[/tex] = 8.33 [tex]\frac{m }{s^{2} }[/tex]
Plug everything in:
7.9 [tex]\frac{m }{s^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{ 8.33\frac{m}{s^{2} }*1510kg }{1590kg}[/tex]
(1590kg the initial weight plus the weight of the added passenger)

A water-balloon launcher with mass 2 kg fires a 0.75 kg balloon with a
velocity of 14 m/s to the west. What is the recoil velocity of the launcher?
What is the answer
Answer:
5.25 m/s to the east
Explanation:
Applying,
MV = mv.............. Equation 1
Where M = mass of the launcher, V = recoil velocity of the launcher, m = mass of the balloon, v = velocity of the balloon
make V the subject of the equation
V = mv/M............ Equation 2
From the question,
M = 2 kg, m = 0.75 kg, v = 14 m/s
Substitute these values into equation 2
V = (0.75×14)/2
V = 5.25 m/s to the east
Q 26.12: Assume current flows in a cylindrical conductor in such a way that the current density increases linearly with radius, from zero at the center to 1.0 A/m2 at the surface of the conductor. If the conductor has a cross sectional area of 1.0 m2, what can you say about the current in this conductor
Answer:
The current is 0.67 A.
Explanation:
Density, J = 1 A/m^2
Area, A = 1 m^2
Let the radius is r. And outer is R.
Use the formula of current density
[tex]I = \int J dA = \int J 2\pi r dr\\\\I = \int_{0}^{R}\frac{2\pi r^2}{R} dr\\\\I = \frac{2 \pi R^2}{3}.... (1)Now A = \pi R^2\\\\1 =\pi R^2\\\\R^2 = \frac{1}{\pi}\\\\So, \\\\I = \frac{2\pi}{3}\times \frac{1}{\pi}\\\\I = 0.67 A[/tex]
High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a -g golf club is traveling at m/s just before it strikes a -g golf ball at rest on a tee. After the collision, the club head travels (in the same direction) at m/s. Find the speed of the golf ball just after impact.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a 200 g golf club is traveling at 60 m/s just before it strikes a 50 g golf ball at rest on a tee. After the collision, the club head travels (in the same direction) at 40 m/s. Find the speed of the golf ball just after impact.
Solution :
We know that momentum = mass x velocity
The momentum of the golf club before impact = 0.200 x 60
= 12 kg m/s
The momentum of the ball before impact is zero. So the total momentum before he impact is 12 kg m/s. Therefore, due to the conservation of momentum of the two bodies after the impact is 12 kg m/s.
Now the momentum of the club after the impact is = 0.2 x 40
= 8 kg m/s
Therefore the momentum of the ball is = 12 - 8
= 4 kg m/s
We know momentum of the ball, p = mass x velocity
4 = 0.050 x velocity
∴ Velocity = [tex]$\frac{4}{0.050}$[/tex]
= 80 m/s
Hence the speed of the golf ball after the impact is 80 m/s.
The total resistance of a parallel circuit is 25 ohms. If the total current is 100mA, how much current is through a 220 ohm resistor that makes up part of the parallel circuit?
Answer:
The current across the resistance is 0.011 A.
Explanation:
Total resistance, R = 25 ohms
Total current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A
Let the voltage is V.
By the Ohm's law
V = I R
V = 0.1 x 25 = 2.5 V
Now the resistance is R' = 220 ohm
As they are in parallel so the voltage is same. Let the current is I'.
V = I' x R'
2.5 = I' x 220
I' = 0.011 A
A cylindrical tank with radius 7 m is being filled with water at a rate of 2 m3/min. How fast is the height of the water increasing (in m/min)?
Answer:
0.013 m/min
Explanation:
Applying,
dV/dt = (dh/dt)(dV/dh)............. Equation 1
Where
V = πr²h................ Equation 2
Where V = volume of the tank, r = radius, h = height.
dV/dh = πr²............ Equation 3
Substitute equation 3 into equation 1
dV/dt = πr²(dh/dt)
From the question,
Given: dV/dt = 2 m³/min, r = 7 m, π = 3.14
Substitute these values into equation 3
2 = (3.14)(7²)(dh/dt)
dh/dt = 2/(3.14×7²)
dh/dt = 0.013 m/min
Every object around you is attracted to you. In fact, every object in the galaxy is attracted to every other object in the galaxy.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
With the gravitational pull that our planets have, we are able to remain in orbit. This demonstrates how every object in the galaxy is attracted to every other object. Every object in the universe that has mass exerts a gravitational pull on every other mass. We as humans do it too, but since our force isn't strong, we don't have much of an effect.

One hazard of space travel is the debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.100-mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 4.00×10^3 m/s, given the collision lasts 6.00×10^8s.
Answer:
F = 6666.7 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a chip, m = 0.1 mg
Initial speed, u = 0
Final speed,[tex]v=4\times 10^{3}\ m/s[/tex]
Time of collision,[tex]t=6\times 10^{-8}\ s[/tex]
We know that,
Force, F = ma
Put all the values,
[tex]F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.1\times 10^{-6}\times (4\times 10^3-0)}{6\times 10^{-8}}\\\\F=6666.7\ N[/tex]
So, the required force is 6666.7 N.

A box-shaped metal can has dimensions 8 in. by 4 in. by 10 in. high. All of the air inside the can is removed with a vacuum pump. Assuming normal atmospheric pressure outside the can, find the total force on one of the 8-by-10-in. sides
Answer:
The force on the side is 5252 N.
Explanation:
Area, A = 8 in x 10 in = 80 in^2 = 0.052 m^2
height, h = 10 in
The force on the area is
F = P x A
where, P is the atmospheric pressure and A is the area.
P = 1.01 x 10^5 Pa
Force = 1.01 x10^5 x 0.052 = 5252 N

While an object near the earths surface is in free fall, its
A) velocity increases
B) acceleration increases
Answer:
a
Explanation:
The rate of change of an object's location with relation to a reference point is its velocity, which is dependent on time. when an object is dropped from space at rest (t = 0) under the influence of gravity, the velocity of the object changes and increases with time while the acceleration decreases.
An object is moving from north to south what is the direction of the force of friction of the object
Answer:
North
Explanation:
Friction is a reaction force against the direction of movement. So since the direction of movement is south the friction would be opposite and move north.
Answer:
South To North
Explanation:
Frictional force acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of a body. Because the object is moving from north to south, the direction of frictional force is from south to north
Two objects are at rest on a frictionless surface. Object 1 has a greater mass than object 2.
(a) When a constant force is applied to object 1, it accelerates through a distance d. The force is removed from object 1 and is applied to object 2. At the moment when object 2 has accelerated through the same distance d, which statements are true? (Select all that apply.)
K1 < K2 p1 = p2 p1 < p2 p1 > p2 K1 > K2 K1 = K2
(b) When a force is applied to object 1, it accelerates for a time interval ?t. The force is removed from object 1 and is applied to object 2. Which statements are true after object 2 has accelerated for the same time interval ?t? (Select all that apply.)
K1 > K2 K1 = K2 p1 = p2 p1 > p2 K1 < K2 p1 < p2
Answer:
Look at explanation
Explanation:
a) Kinetic energy= ΔW. W=Fd, and since in both scenarios the same force and same distance is travelled. K1=K2. I am assuming that the objects are at non zero height so by P=mgh, P1>P2
b. Again I am assuming that the objects are at non zero height so by P=mgh, P1>P2. A heavier mass, a constant force means a smaller acceleration. So a1<a2. We can then use x-x0=v0t+1/2at² and since v0=0, x-x0(d)=1/2at². Solve for t²=2d/a. Since t is the same for both but a1<a2, d1<d2. And since Kinetic Energy=ΔW, W=Fd and F is constant while d1<d2, K1<K2.
According to the question,
Potential energy be "P".Kinetic energy be "K".(a)
Word done towards both the block will be similar.
So,
→ [tex]P1 = P2[/tex]
→ [tex]K1= K2[/tex]
(b)
We know,
→ [tex]a = \frac{F}{M}[/tex]
or,
→ [tex]V = a\times t[/tex]
Now,
→ [tex]K = \frac{1}{2} MV^2[/tex]
[tex]= 0.5\times M\times V^2[/tex]
[tex]=0.5\times M\times (\frac{F^2}{M^2} )\times t^2[/tex]
[tex]= 0.5\times F^2\times \frac{t^2}{M}[/tex]
The force and t will be same. So K of the smaller mass will be greater than the larger mass.
hence,
→ [tex]K1<K2[/tex]
Thus the above responses are correct.

Answer:
The angle between the electric field lines and the equipotential surface is 90 degree.
Explanation:
The equipotential surfaces are the surface on which the electric potential is same. The work done in moving a charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface is always zero.
The electric field lines are always perpendicular to the equipotential surface.

A 56.0 kg bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the period of oscillation is 11.2 s, what is the spring constant of the bungee cord, assuming it has negligible mass compared to that of the jumper in N/m
Answer:
2.80N/m
Explanation:
Given data
mass m= 56kg
perios T= 11.2s
The expression for the period is given as
T=2π√m/k
Substitute
11.2= 2*3.142*√56/k
square both sides
11.2^2= 2*3.142*56/k
125.44= 351.904/k
k=351.904/125.44
k= 2.80N/m
Hence the spring constant is 2.80N/m
Find the force on a negative charge that is placed midway between two equal positive charges. All charges have the same magnitude.
Answer: The force on a negative charge that is placed midway between two equal positive charges is zero when all charges have the same magnitude.
Explanation:
Let us assume that
[tex]q_{1} = q_{2} = +q[/tex]
[tex]q_{3} = -q[/tex]
As [tex]q_{3}[/tex] is the negative charge and placed midway between two equal positive charges ([tex]q_{1}[/tex] and [tex]q_{2}[/tex]).
Total distance between [tex]q_{1}[/tex] and [tex]q_{2}[/tex] is 2r. This means that the distance between [tex]q_{1}[/tex] and [tex]q_{3}[/tex], [tex]q_{2}[/tex] and [tex]q_{3}[/tex] = d = r
Now, force action on charge [tex]q_{3}[/tex] due to [tex]q_{1}[/tex] is as follows.
[tex]F_{31} = k(\frac{q_{1} \times q_{3}}{d^{2}})[/tex]
where,
k = electrostatic constant = [tex]9 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}[/tex]
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]F_{31} = k(\frac{q_{1} \times q_{3}}{d^{2}})\\= 9 \times 10^{9} (\frac{q \times (-q)}{r^{2}})\\= - 9 \times 10^{9} (\frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}})[/tex] ... (1)
Similarly, force acting on [tex]q_{3}[/tex] due to [tex]q_{1}[/tex] is as follows.
[tex]F_{32} = k \frac{q_{2}q_{3}}{d^{2}}\\= -9 \times 10^{9} \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}}\\[/tex] ... (2)
As both the forces represented in equation (1) and (2) are same and equal in magnitude. This means that the net force acting on charge [tex]q_{3}[/tex] is zero.
Thus, we can conclude that the force on a negative charge that is placed midway between two equal positive charges is zero when all charges have the same magnitude.
