Three Hikers Take Three Different Paths To The Top Of A Mountain, Paths 1, 2, And 3. The Hikers Are All

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a

Explanation:

cause i took a test and that is what my science teacher said

Answer 2

Option A - The gravitational potential energy is the same for all of the hikers is correct.

We have three hikers who took three different paths to the top of a mountain labelled as paths 1, 2, and 3. The hikers are all the same height and weight.

We have to find which hiker will have the greatest amount of gravitational potential energy at the top.

What is the gravitational potential energy of the body of mass ' m ' at a height ' h ' above the surface of earth (h <<R)?

The formula to calculate the gravitational potential energy is -

U (h) = mgh

In the question given to us -

Mass of each hiker is same = m kg

Height of each hiker at top is same = h meters

The gravitational Potential Energy of a body is independent of the path taken. Since the mass and height of each hiker is same, therefore -

U (h[1]) = U(h[2]) = U(h[3]) = mgh

Hence, Option A is correct.

A certain sound wave has a wavelength of 2 m and a frequency of 170 hertz. calculate the velocity of this wave.​

Answers

Answer:

340m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Wavelength  = 2m

Frequency   = 170Hz

Unknown:

Velocity of the wave  = ?

Solution:

The velocity of the wave is the product of frequency and wavelength of the wave;

          V  = F λ

V is the velocity

 F is the frequency

λ is the wavelength

  Insert the parameters and solve;

          V = 2  x 170 = 340m/s

The velocity of the wave with the given wavelength and frequency is 340m/s.

Given the data in the question;

Wavelength; [tex]\lambda = 2m[/tex]Frequency; [tex]f = 170Hz = 170 s^{-1}[/tex]

Velocity; [tex]v =\ ?[/tex]

To determine the velocity of the wave, we use the expression for the relations between wavelength, frequency and speed.

[tex]\lambda = \frac{v}{f}[/tex]

Where [tex]\lambda[/tex] is wavelength, f is frequency and v is speed.

We substitute our given values into the equation

[tex]2m = \frac{v}{170s^{-1}}\\\\v = 2m * 170s^{-1}\\\\v = 340m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the velocity of the wave with the given wavelength and frequency is 340m/s.

compared to a maritime tropical air mass, a maritime polar air mass has?

Answers

Continental air masses are characterized by dry air near the surface while maritime air masses are moist. Polar air masses are characterized by cold air near the surface while tropical air masses are warm or hot. ... Maritime polar (mP) air masses are cool, moist, and unstable.

A maritime polar air mass has relatively higher moisture and is relatively cooler than the tropical air mass.

Air masses:

Maritime polar (mP) is cold but moist due to its origination over the oceans. The desert region air masses (hot and dry) are designated by ‘cT’ for ‘continental tropical’. As these air masses move around the earth they can begin to acquire additional attributes.

The continental Tropical (cT) air mass originates in arid or desert regions in the middle or lower latitudes, principally during the summer season. It is strongly heated in general, but its moisture content is very low.

Continental tropical air masses are extremely hot and dry. Arctic, Antarctic, and polar air masses are cold. The qualities of arctic air are developed over ice and snow-covered ground. Arctic air is deeply cold, colder than polar air masses

Maritime Polar (mP) air masses develop over the polar areas of both the Northern and the Southern hemispheres. They generally contain considerably more moisture than the cP air masses. As they move inland in middle and high latitudes, heavy precipitation may occur.

A +4.0 uC charge is placed on the x axis at x= +3.0 m, and a -2.0 uC is located on the y-axis at y= -1.0 m. Point A is on the y axis at y= +4.0 m. Determine the electric potential at point A (relative to zero at the origin).

Answers

Answer:

The potential is  [tex]V_A = 9600 \ V[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The  magnitude of the charge is  [tex]q_1 = 4 \mu C = 4*10^{-6} \ C[/tex]

   The position of the charge is  [tex]x = + 3.0 \ m[/tex]

   The magnitude of the second charge is  [tex]q_2 = -2.0 \mu C = -2.0 *10^{-6} \ C[/tex]

   The position is  [tex]y_1 = - 1.0 \ m[/tex]

     The position of point A is  [tex]y_2 = + 4.0 \ m[/tex]  

Generally the electric potential  at A due to the first charge is mathematically represented as

         [tex]V_a = \frac{k * q_1 }{r_1 }[/tex]

Here k is the coulombs constant with value [tex]k = 9*10^{9} \ \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}[/tex]

        [tex]r_1[/tex]  is the distance between first charge and a which is mathematically represented as

         [tex]r_1 = \sqrt{x^2 + y_2 ^2 }[/tex]

=>      [tex]r_1 = \sqrt{3^2 + 4 ^2 }[/tex]    

=>      [tex]r_1 = 5 \ m[/tex]    

So

           [tex]V_a = \frac{9*10^9 * 4*10^{-6} }{5 }[/tex]

      [tex]V_a = 7200 \ V[/tex]

Generally the electric potential  at A due to the second charge is mathematically represented as

         [tex]V_b = \frac{k * q_2 }{r_2 }[/tex]

Here k is the coulombs constant with value [tex]k = 9*10^{9} \ \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}[/tex]

        [tex]r_2[/tex]  is the distance between second charge and a which is mathematically represented as

         [tex]r_2 = y_2 - y[/tex]

=>      [tex]r _2 = 4.0 - (-1.0)[/tex]    

=>      [tex]r = 5 \ m[/tex]    

So

           [tex]V_a = \frac{9*10^9 * -2*10^{-6} }{5 }[/tex]

      [tex]V_a = -3600 \ V[/tex]

So the net potential difference at point A  due to the charges is mathematically represented as

       [tex]V_n = V_a + V_b[/tex]

=>     [tex]V_n = 7200 - 3600[/tex]

=>     [tex]V_n = 3600 V[/tex]

Generally the net potential difference at the origin due to both charges is mathematically represented as

     [tex]V_N = V_c + V_d[/tex]

Here  

      [tex]V_c = \frac{k * q_1 }{x}[/tex]

=>   [tex]V_c = \frac{9*10^9 * 4*10^{-6} }{3}[/tex]

=>   [tex]V_c = 12000 V[/tex]

and

              [tex]V_d= \frac{k * q_2 }{y}[/tex]

=>   [tex]V_c = \frac{9*10^9 * -2*10^{-6} }{1}[/tex]

=>   [tex]V_c =- 18000 V[/tex]

Generally the net potential difference at the origin is  

       [tex]V_N = 12000 - 18000[/tex]

=>     [tex]V_N = -6000[/tex]

Generally the potential difference at A relative to zero at the origin is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]V_A = V_n - V_N[/tex]

=>      [tex]V_A = 3600 - (-6000)[/tex]

=>      [tex]V_A = 9600 \ V[/tex]

An object is swung in a horizontal circle on a length of string that is 0.93 m long. Its acceleration is 26.36 m/s2. What is the time it takes the object to complete one horizontal circle?



P.S. : I know the answer is 1.18 seconds but I just don’t know how to get there. Can someone explain to me how to do it? Thanks

Answers

Answer:

The object takes approximately 1.180 seconds to complete one horizontal circle.  

Explanation:

From statement we know that the object is experimenting an Uniform Circular Motion, in which acceleration ([tex]a[/tex]), measured in meters per square second, is entirely centripetal and is expressed as:

[tex]a = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot R}{T^{2}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]T[/tex] - Period of rotation, measured in seconds.

[tex]R[/tex] - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

If we know that [tex]a = 26.36\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]R = 0.93\,m[/tex], then the time taken by the object to complete one revolution is:

[tex]T^{2} = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot R}{a}[/tex]

[tex]T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{R}{a} }[/tex]

[tex]T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.93\,m}{26.36\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }[/tex]

[tex]T \approx 1.180\,s[/tex]

The object takes approximately 1.180 seconds to complete one horizontal circle.

A.4 m/s^2
B.8 m/s^2
C.12 m/s^2
D.16 m/s^2

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration is 8 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity, u = 2 m/s

The final velocity, v = 6 m/s

The distance the acceleration took place, s = 2 m

The acceleration, a, can be found from the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

By substituting the values, we have;

6² = 2² + 2 × a × 2

6² - 2² = 2 × a × 2

32 = 4·a

a = 32/4 = 8 m/s²

The acceleration, a, of the given motion = 8 m/s².

Answers

Answer:

Exercise 1;

The centripetal acceleration is approximately 94.52 m/s²

Explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The diameter of the circle = 8 cm = 0.08 m

The radius of the circle = Diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m

The speed of motion = 7 km/h = 1.944444 m/s

The centripetal acceleration = v²/r = 1.944444²/0.04 ≈ 94.52 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration ≈ 94.52 m/s²

Mass is a numerical measure of inertia, which is a basic feature of all matter. It is, in effect, a body of matter's resistance to a change in speed or position caused by the application of a force.

In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the unit of mass.

be?

Answers

Answer:

His initial velocity (speed) must be 64.16 m/s.

Explanation:

Horizontal Motion

When an object is horizontally launched at a speed v from a height h, the maximum horizontal distance (also called Range) traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}[/tex]

Our daredevil is attempting to clear a river d=420 m wide with his motorcycle from a cliff h=210 m high. We need to find the speed needed to safely reach the opposite edge of the river.

From the above equation, we solve for v:

Speed:

[tex]\displaystyle v=d\cdot\sqrt{\frac {g}{2h}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v=420\cdot\sqrt{\frac {9.8}{2\cdot 210}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v=420\cdot\sqrt{\frac {9.8}{420}}[/tex]

v = 64.16 m/s

His initial velocity (speed) must be 64.16 m/s.

B.) Contact forces such as friction are caused primarily by electrostatic forces and not by gravitational ones.
C.) The electric force has a relative strength that is much greater than the strength of the gravitational force.
D.)On the scale of the solar system, electric forces cancel out and gravitational forces dominate.

Option D (On the...............dominate) would be the right approach.

Explanation:

The Gravitational constant (G) will be:

It is quite since there are so many categories of allegations throughout the planet's atmosphere that balance out someone else's effects, there's only yet another form of momentum, because although the forces are still cumulative, as well as therefore offering to help everything hold to the universe, encouraging the universe just to rotate across the sun.

The latter three choices aren't connected to either the situation mentioned in the clarification segment elsewhere here.

The statement that provides evidence that there must be at least two types of electrical charge, but that there is only one type of mass is that on the scale of the solar system, electric forces cancel out and gravitational forces dominate.

The examples that provides conclusive evidence of is option d because the Gravitational constant is (G)=6.67*10-11 while the Coulomb's law constant(K)=9*109.

Coulomb's law often connotes that the electrical force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of the quantity of charge on the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two objects.

The interaction between charged objects is regarded as a non-contact force that acts over some distance of separation.
