Three liters (3000 cm3) of oil is spilled onto a smooth lake. If the oil spreads out uniformly until it makes a circular oil slick just one molecule thick, with adjacent molecules just touching, estimate the diameter of the oil slick. Assume the oil molecules are round with a diameter of 2 x 10-10 m.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4.38 km

Explanation:

Volume of oil slick, V = Area of oil slick, A × thickness of 1 molecule, d'

Since the oil slick spreads out in a circular area, it has the area of a circle.

So, V = πd²/4 × d'

d² = 4V/πd'

d = 2√(V/πd') where d = diameter of oil slick.

Since V = 3000 cm³ = 3000 × 10⁻⁶ m³ = 3 × 10⁻³ m³ and d' = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

So, d = 2√(3 × 10⁻³ m³/(π × 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ m))

= 2√(3 × 10⁻³ m³/(6.283 × 10⁻¹⁰ m))

= 2√(0.477 × 10⁷ m²) = 2√(4.775 × 10⁶ m²)

=  2 × 2.19 × 10³ m

= 4.38 × 10³ m

= 4.38 km

a)30 m^2

b) 31.4 m^2

c)31.37 m^2

d)31.371 m^2

Answer:

A. 17.0 m²

B. 31.4 m²

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the area of a rectangle is given as

Area = length x width

The length = 3.547 m

The width = 4.79 m

Then area = 3.547 x 4.79

= 16.990m²

When approximated = 17.0m²

This is the most precise measurement for the area of the bedroom.

B.

We solve b using this formula

Area = pi(diameter/2)^2

= 3.14(6.32/2)²

= 3.14 x 9.9856

= 31.4 m²

The 88-lb force P is applied to the 210-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force F exerted by the horizontal surface on the crate. The friction force is positive if to the right, negative if to the left. Assume 0.47, 0.35.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]F=-88Ib[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force P=88Ib

Mass of crate M_c=210Ib

Generally the equation for Frictional force F is mathematically given by

[tex]Friction\ force (f) = friction\ coefficient\ (u) * Normal\ reaction (N)[/tex]

[tex]F=u*N[/tex]

with [tex]\mu =0.47[/tex]

[tex]F=98.7Ib[/tex]

Therefore since Static Friction supersedes applied force body remains at rest.

Frictional force =88Ib (negative)

[tex]F=-88Ib[/tex]

You yell into a canyon. You hear the echo in 3 seconds. How long did the sound of your voice travel before bouncing off a cliff?

Answers

Answer:

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

Explanation:

The sound is an example of mechanical wave, which means that it needs a medium to propagate itself at constant speed. The time needed to hear the echo is equal to twice the height of the canyon divided by the velocity of sound. In addition, the speed of sound through the air at a temperature of 20 ºC is approximately 344 meters per second. Then, the height of the canyon can be derived from the following kinematic formula:

[tex]2\cdot h = v\cdot t[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]h[/tex] - Height, measured in meters.

[tex]v[/tex] - Velocity of sound, measured in meters per second.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that  [tex]v = 344\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]t = 3\,s[/tex], then the height of the canyon is:

[tex]h = \frac{v\cdot t}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h = \frac{\left(344\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (3\,s)}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h = 516\,m[/tex]

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

Allen and Jason are chucking a speaker around. On one particular throw, Allen throws the speaker, which is playing a pure tone of frequency f, at a speed of 10 m/s directly towards Jason, but his aim is a bit off. As a result, Jason runs forward towards the speaker at a speed of 6 m/s before catching it. Then, the frequency that Jason hears while running can be written as (m/n)f Hz, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Compute m n.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect of sound .

speaker is the source , Jason is the observer . Source is moving at 10 m /s , observer is moving at  6 m/s .

apparent frequency = [tex]f_o\times\frac{V+v_o}{ V-v_s}[/tex]

V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer and v_s is velocity of source and f_o is real frequency of source .

Here V = 340 m/s , v₀ is 6 m/s , v_s is 10 m/s . f_o = f

apparent frequency =  [tex]f\times \frac{340+6}{340-10}[/tex]

= [tex]f\times \frac{346}{330}[/tex]

So m = 346 , n = 330 .

the force that makes objects keep traveling is ____.


a.gravity
b.inertia
c.attraction
d.energy

Answers

Answer:

D-Energy

Explanation:

Answer:  b. inertia

According to Newton's First Law of Motion, if an object is at rest, then it stays at rest as long as no external forces are applied to get the object moving. If an object is in motion, then it stays in motion (again as long as no external forces are applied to say otherwise). This is known as inertia.

For example, if you were to launch a baseball into deep space (far from any planet), then the ball will travel in a straight line at a constant speed until it either hits another object to have it slow down, or another planet's gravity starts to pull on the ball.

A catcher in a baseball game stops a pitched ball that was originally moving at 44 m/s over a distance of 12.5 cm. the mass of the ball is 0.15 kg. what is the average force that the glove imparts to the ball during the catch

Answers

Answer:

Force = -1161.6 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 44m/s

Distance ,s = 12.5cm to m = 12.5/100 = 0.125m

Mass = 0.15kg

To find the acceleration;

We would use the third equation of motion;

V ² = U² + 2as

0² = 44² + 2*a*0.125

0 = 1936 + 0.25a

0.25a = -1936

a = -1936/0.25

Acceleration, a = -7744m/s2

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 0.15 * (-7744)

Force = -1161.6 Newton

The value of its force is negative because the glove decreases the velocity of the ball.

You are given two identical neutral metal spheres A and B mounted on fixed insulating supports, as well as a thin conducting wire and a glass rod that you can rub with silk. You can attach the wire between the spheres or between a sphere and ground. You cannot touch the rod to a sphere or between a sphere and the ground. You cannot touch the rod to a sphere. How can you give the spheres charges of:

a. equal magnitude and the same sign?
b. equal magnitude and opposite signs?

Answers

Answer:

a) we bring the rod closer to one of the spheres connected to Earth,  

   we disconnect the ground cable and move the rod away and join the two spheres with the wire

b) we connect a sphere to ground,  bring the rod closer

   we disconnect the ground cable

   Now we bring the rod closer to the other isolated sphere

   

Explanation:

In this interesting exercise we will use that electric charges are of two types positive and negative, where charges of the same sign repel and of opposite sign attract.

In metals the charges are mobile and can be displaced, we will conspire the earth as a receptor of charges and the glass rod does not have mobile charges, but it does have charges created by friction with silk.

With these concepts let's analyze the requested situations

a) How to create charge of equal magnitude and same sign in the spheres.

To create this situation we bring the rod closer to one of the spheres connected to Earth with the wire, in this case the charge induced by the sphere stops to the ground, then we disconnect the ground cable and move the rod away, therefore the sphere that with a charge of equal magnitude of the rod but of opposite sign.

Now we join the two spheres with the wire and the charge is distributed between the two, we remove the wire and each sphere with a charge equal to the mistad of the cheek and of the opposite sign.

Therefore the two spheres have a charge of equal magnitude and sign.

b) how to create charge of equal magnitude and opposite signs.

For this case we connect a sphere to ground with the wire, we bring the rod closer and an induced charge is created on the sphere of equal magnitude to the rod charge and of opposite sign, an equal charge and of the same sign as the rod passes to ground through the wire, disconnect the wire and remove the rod. The sphere with a charge equal to that of the rod and with the opposite sign.  

Now we bring the rod closer to the other isolated sphere, an induced charge of opposite sign to the rod and of the same magnitude is created,

in this case we keep the rod in this position and we have two charges of equal magnitude, but without opposite in each sphere

At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 120 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of gravity, in ft/s2, at that elevation

Answers

Answer:

31.905 ft/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the pilot, m = 120 lb

Weight of the pilot, w = 119 lbf

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.05 ft/s²

Local acceleration of gravity of found by using the relation

Weight in lbf = Mass in lb * (local acceleration/32.174 lbft/s²)

119 = 120 * a/32. 174

119 * 32.174 = 120a

a = 3828.706 / 120

a = 31.905 ft/s²

Therefore, the local acceleration due to gravity at that elevation is 31.905 ft/s²

A piece of putty and a tennis ball with the same mass are thrown against a wall with the same velocity. Which object experiences a greater force from the wall or are the forces equal

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, we have to define momentum.

Momentum is define as the product of mass and velocity.

That is P = mass×velocity

Also considering the third law of motion which states that: For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

Moreso, considering the 2nd law of motion which states that the rate of change in the momentum of a body is equal to the applied force and takes place in the direction of the applied force.

Now, applying P = mass×velocity

They both have same mass and velocity definitely, they will both experience same momentum.

Also from the question, the both share same velocity hence, the will both hit the wall with same velocity meaning the will both feel the same impact from the wall as well. Hence the third law of motion proves this right.

Two floors in a building are separated by 4.1 m. People move between the two floors on a set of stairs. (a) Determine the change in potential energy of a 3.0 kg backpack carried up the stairs. (b) Determine the change in potential energy of a person with weight 650 N that descends the stairs.

Answers

Answer:

a) The change in potential energy of a 3.0 kilograms backpack carried up the stairs.

b) The change in potential energy of a persona with weight 650 newtons that descends the stairs is -2665 joules.

Explanation:

Let consider the bottom of the first floor in a building as the zero reference ([tex]z = 0\,m[/tex]). The change in potential energy experimented by a particle ([tex]\Delta U_{g}[/tex]), measured in joules, is:

[tex]\Delta U_{g} = m\cdot g\cdot (z_{f}-z_{o})[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass, measured in kilograms.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

[tex]z_{o}[/tex], [tex]z_{f}[/tex] - Initial and final height with respect to zero reference, measured in meters.

Please notice that [tex]m\cdot g[/tex] is the weight of the particle, measured in newtons.

a) If we know that [tex]m = 3\,kg[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]z_{o} = 0\,m[/tex] and [tex]z_{f} = 4.1\,m[/tex], then the change in potential energy is:

[tex]\Delta U_{g} = (3\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (4.1\,m-0\,m)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U_{g} = 120.626\,J[/tex]

The change in potential energy of a 3.0 kilograms backpack carried up the stairs.

b) If we know that [tex]m\cdot g = 650\,N[/tex], [tex]z_{o} = 4.1\,m[/tex] and [tex]z_{f} = 0\,m[/tex], then the change in potential energy is:

[tex]\Delta U_{g} = (650\,N)\cdot (0\,m-4.1\,m)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U_{g} = -2665\,J[/tex]

The change in potential energy of a persona with weight 650 newtons that descends the stairs is -2665 joules.

Answers

Answer:

The voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V

Explanation:

The voltage drop equation is given by:

[tex]V=\frac{\Delta W}{\Delta q}[/tex]

Where:

ΔW is the total work done (4.6kJ)

Δq is the total charge

We need to use the definition of electric current to find Δq

[tex]I=\frac{\Delta q}{\Delta t}[/tex]

Where:

I is the current (2 A)

Δt is the time (20 s)

[tex]2=\frac{\Delta q}{20}[/tex]

[tex]q=40 C[/tex]

Then, we can put this value of charge in the voltage equation.

[tex]V=\frac{4600}{40}=115 V[/tex]

Therefore, the voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V.
