while you are in class, your iclicker falls off your desk to the floor. what forces are acting on your iclicker as it falls to the floor?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravitational forces and drag forces

Explanation:

All objects that are above a certain distance above the ground has gravitational force acting on them. A falling body like the iclicker has gravitational force pulling it down with a magnitude proportional to its mass and the acceleration due to gravity. As the iclicker fall, it experiences air resistance due to the drag forces on it from the air molecules around. This drag force acts upwards so as to oppose the motion of the iclicker downwards, and the magnitude is minimal when compared to the gravitational force. The resultant force is therefore downwards

Why is area a scalar quantity?

Answers

Answer:

Area is a scalar quantity because there is no need of direction to define and also follow the algebraic summation. When we talk about vector there exists a frame of reference with a certain origin. It actually depends on the fact of the physical area, but if that factor changes to a non-directional object such as a rug spread on the floor, you can consider the area or a region as a scalar. (*Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.)

Answers

Answer:

89.6 cm

Explanation:

From the question,

Volume of the rectangular object = Mass/Density.

V = m/D.................. Equation 1

Given: m = 1.278 kg, D = 4.98 g/cm³ = 4980 kg/m³

Substitute into equation 1

V = 1.278/4980

V = 2.57×10⁻⁴ m³.

But,

V = lwh............... Equation 2

Where l = length of the rectangular object, w = width of the rectangular object, h = height of the rectangular object.

make h the subject of the equation

h = V/lw........... Equation 3

Given: V = 2.57×10⁻⁴ m³, l = 0.047 m, w = 0.061 m.

Substitute into equation 3

h = 2.57×10⁻⁴/(0.047×0.061)

h = 0.896 m

h = 89.6 cm

The force of gravity will make it easier to stop your car if you are going uphill, and more difficult to stop your car if you are going downhill.

Answers

The force of gravity will cause your vehicle to speed up when going downhill, and slow down when going uphill. The energy of motion increases proportionally with the increase in weight, and the energy increases proportionally with the square of the increase in speed. Increase with an increase of your kinetic energy. Gravity decreases your kinetic energy when driving uphill and increases it when driving downhill. Therefore, the force of gravity will make it easier to stop your car if you're going uphill but more difficult to stop your car if you're going downhill.

(a) 8/5

(b) 1/2

(c) 3/8

(d) 5/8

(e) 2/1

Answer:

  The correct option is  d

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

     The ratio of the  volume of the object submerged to the total volume of the object  is  [tex]\frac{V_w}{V_o} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Generally the buoyancy force acting on the object is equal to the weight of the water displaced and this is mathematically represented as

      [tex]F_b = W[/tex]

Now the mass of the water displaced is mathematically represented as

      [tex]m_w = \rho_w * V_w[/tex]

While the mass of the object is mathematically represented as

    [tex]m_o = \rho_o * V_o[/tex]

So  

      [tex]F_b = W \ \equiv \ \rho * V_o * g = \rho * V_w * g[/tex]

   =>    [tex]\frac{V_w}{V_o} = \frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w}[/tex]

From the question that it volume of the water displace (equivalent to the volume of the object in water  ) to the volume of the total object is

        [tex]\frac{V_w}{V_o} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

So

     [tex]\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

c). m = 63.4 kg (approx.)

Explanation:

Ex. 2.4.4

The total force acting on mass m is [tex]$ F = F_{spring }= -kx $[/tex] , where x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

The equation of motion is [tex]$ m {\overset{..}x} + kx = 0 $[/tex]

or [tex]$ {\overset{..}x}+ \frac{k}{m}x=0 $[/tex]     or   [tex]$ {\overset{..}x} + w_0^2 x = 0 $[/tex] ,    where [tex]$ w_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} $[/tex]  

The solution is [tex]$ x = A \cos (w_0t + \phi) $[/tex] ,  where A and Ф are constants.

A is amplitude of  motion

[tex]$ w_0$[/tex] is the angular frequency of motion

Ф is the phase angle.

Now, [tex]$ w_0 = 2 \pi f_0 = \sqrt{k/m} $[/tex]

or [tex]$ m = \frac{k}{4\pi f_0^2} $[/tex]

Given [tex]$ f_0 = 0.8 Hz , k = 4 N/m $[/tex]

a).  [tex]$ m = \frac{4}{4(3.14)^2(0.8)^2} = 0.158\ kg$[/tex]

b). [tex]$ w_0^2 = k/m $[/tex]  

or  [tex]$ m = k/ w_0^2 = k / (2\pi f_0)^2 = k / 4 \pi^2 f_0^2 $[/tex]

Ex. 2.4.5

a). Total force acting on the mass m is [tex]$F = F_{spring}+f $[/tex]

                                                                    [tex]$ = -kx-bv $[/tex]

    The equation of motion is [tex]$ m {\overset{..}x}= -kx-b{\overset{.}x} $[/tex]

    or [tex]$ w_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} $[/tex] ,  angular frequency of the undamped oscillation.

   γ = b/2m  is called the damping coefficient (γ=C)

   [tex]$ k = m w_0^2 = 4 \pi^2 m f_0^2 $[/tex]

   for 1 kg weight (= 9.8 N), [tex]$ f_0$[/tex] = 1.1 Hz

    k = 4 x (3.14)² x (9.8) x 1.1²  = 4.6 x 10² N/m

  For 2 kg weight (= 19.6 N), [tex]$ f_0$[/tex] = 0.8 Hz

    k = 4 x 9.8596 x 2 x 9.8 x 0.8²  = 5 x [tex]$ 10^7$[/tex] N/m

   [tex]$ \gamma = \frac{b}{2m_1} = \frac{b}{2m_2} $[/tex]

or [tex]$ \gamma = \frac{b}{2 \times 1} = \frac{b}{2 \times 2} $[/tex]

γ = b/2 (for 1 kg)  and   γ = b/4 (for 2 kg)

C = b/2   and C = b/4

b). [tex]$ w_0^2 = \frac{k}{m} \Rightarrow \frac{k}{w_0^2} = \frac{k}{(2 \pi f_0)^2} = \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f_0^2} $[/tex]

 For two particle problem,

   [tex]$ w'_0^2 = \sqrt{\frac{k(m_1+m_2)}{m_1 +m_2}} $[/tex]

[tex]$ \therefore T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m_1 +m_2}{k (m_1 + m_2)}} = 2 \pi \sqrt{ \mu/k}$[/tex]

where, μ is the reduced mass.

This time period is same for both the particles.

Answers

Using

V = Amplitude x angular frequency(omega)

But omega= 2πf

So v= 1.25mm x 5498.5

= 6.82m/s

B. .Acceleration is omega² x radius= 104ms²

Answer:

a

  [tex]v _{max } = 6.82 \ m/s[/tex]

b

 [tex]a_{max} = 37489.5 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The amplitude is [tex]A = 1.24 \ mm = 1.24 * 10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

   The frequency is  [tex]f = 875 \ Hz[/tex]

   

Generally the maximum speed is mathematically represented as

           [tex]v _{max } = A * 2 * \pi * f[/tex]

=>        [tex]v _{max } = 1.24*10^{-3} * 2 * 3.142 * 875[/tex]

=>        [tex]v _{max } = 6.82 \ m/s[/tex]

Generally the maximum acceleration is mathematically represented as

       [tex]a_{max} = A * (2 * \pi * f)[/tex]

=>      [tex]a_{max} = 1.24*10^{-3} * (2 * 3.142 * 875 )^2[/tex]

=>       [tex]a_{max} = 37489.5 \ m/s^2[/tex]

The 2-kg collar is attached to a spring that has an un-stretched length of 3.0 m. If the collar is drawn to point B and releases from rest, what is the speed when it arrives at point A. Note that k = 3.0 N/m and neglect friction.

Answers

Complete Question

The image for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

[tex]v = 3.4 \ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the collar is  [tex]m = 2 \ kg[/tex]

    The original length is  [tex]L = 3.0 \ m[/tex]

     The spring constant is  [tex]k = 3.0 \ N/m[/tex]

     

Generally the extension of the spring  is  mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]e = 4 -3 = 1 \ m[/tex]

Now with Pythagoras theorem we can obtain the length from A to B as

        [tex]AB = \sqrt{5 ^2 + 4^2}[/tex]

       [tex]AB = 6.4 \ m[/tex]

The  extension of the spring at B is  

     [tex]e_b = 6.4 - 3 = 3.4 \ m[/tex]

According to the law of energy conservation

   The energy stored in the spring at point A +  the kinetic energy of the  spring =  The  energy stored on the spring at B

So

     [tex]\frac{1}{2} * k * e + \frac{1}{2} * m* v^2 = \frac{1}{2} * k * e_b[/tex]

substituting values

    [tex]\frac{1}{2} * 3 * 1^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 2* v^2 = \frac{1}{2} * 3 * 3.4^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]v = 3.4 \ m/s[/tex]

Answer:

La resistencia que debe ser conectada en paralelo con una de 20 Ω para hacer una  resistencia combinada de 15 Ω tiene un valor de 60 Ω

Explanation:

Las resistencias son aquellos dispositivos en los circuitos eléctricos que suelen emplearse para oponerse al paso de la corriente eléctrica.

Se denomina resistencia resultante o equivalente al valor de la resistencia que se obtiene al considerar un conjunto de ellas.

Cuando tenes resistencias en paralelo la corriente se divide y circula por varios caminos.

La resistencia equivalente de un circuito de resistencias en paralelo es igual al recíproco de la suma de los inversos de las resistencias individuales:

[tex]R=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{R_{1} } +\frac{1}{R_{2} } +...+\frac{1}{R_{N} }}[/tex]

Esto también puede ser expresado como:

[tex]\frac{1}{R} =\frac{1}{R_{1} } +\frac{1}{R_{2} } +...+\frac{1}{R_{N} }[/tex]

Entonces, en este caso sabes:

R= 15 ΩR1= 20 ΩR2=?

Reemplazando:

[tex]\frac{1}{15} =\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{R2}[/tex]

y resolviendo:

[tex]\frac{1}{R2} =\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{R2} =\frac{1}{60}[/tex]

se obtiene:

R2=60 Ω

Answers

Answer:

    The  wavelength of the light is  [tex]\lambda = 636 \ nm = 636 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

    The  refractive index of the glass lens is  [tex]n_g = 1.56[/tex]

   

Generally the condition for destructive interference of a films is  

               [tex]2t = [ m + \frac{1}{2} ] \frac{\lambda}{n}[/tex]

for  minimum m =  0  

       [tex]2t = [ 0 + \frac{1}{2} ] \frac{\lambda}{n}[/tex]

=>    [tex]2t = [ 0 + \frac{1}{2} ] \frac{636 *10^{-9}}{1.56}[/tex]

20 copper wires of length l and diameter d are connected in parallel to form a single composite conductor of resistance R. What is the ratio of the diameter of a single copper wire to d, if its length is also l and it has the same resistance?

Please show work and type out answer.

Answers

Answer:

D = 4.47d

Explanation:

given that

1/R(eq) = 20/R

R(eq) = R/20

also, we know that the formula for resistance is given by the relation

R = pl/A, where A is πd²/4

If we substitute the value of A, we have

R = pl/(πd²/4)

R = 4pl/πd²

Now, we substitute this in the earlier derived equation

R(eq) = (4pl/πd²) / 20

R(eq) = pl/5πd²

To find the resistance of a single wire made of the same material, the resistance is

R(D) = 4pl / πD²

R(eq) = R(D), and thus

pl/5πd² = 4pl/πD²

1/5d² = 4/D²

D² = 20d²

D = √20d²

D = 4.47 d

An ideal gas, initially at a pressure of 11.2 atm and a temperature of 299 K, is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volume doubles.

Required:
What is the gas’s final pressure, in atmospheres, if the gas is diatomic?

Answers

Answer:

The pressure is  [tex]P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The initial pressure is [tex]P_1 = 11.2\ a.t.m[/tex]

   The  temperature is  [tex]T_1 = 299 \ K[/tex]

   

Let the first volume be  [tex]V_1[/tex] Then the final volume will be  [tex]2 V_1[/tex]

 Generally for a diatomic  gas

           [tex]P_1 V_1 ^r = P_2 V_2 ^r[/tex]

Here r is the radius of the molecules which is  mathematically represented as

    [tex]r = \frac{C_p}{C_v}[/tex]

Where [tex]C_p \ and\ C_v[/tex] are the molar specific heat of a gas at constant pressure and  the molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume with values

     [tex]C_p=7 \ and\ C_v=5[/tex]

=>   [tex]r = \frac{7}{5}[/tex]

=>  [tex]11.2*( V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } ) = P_2 * (2 V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } )[/tex]

=>   [tex]P_2 = [\frac{1}{2} ]^{\frac{7}{5} } * 11.2[/tex]

=>  [tex]P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m[/tex]

The final pressure of the gas will be 4.244 atm.

Given information:

The initial pressure of the gas is [tex]P_1=11.2\rm\;atm[/tex].

The initial temperature of the gas is [tex]T_1=299\rm\; K[/tex].

Let the initial volume of the gas be V. So, the final volume will be double or 2V.

The given diatomic gas is expanded adiabatically. So, the equation of the adiabatic process will be,

[tex]P_1V_1^{\gamma}=P_2V_2^{\gamma}[/tex]

where [tex]\gamma[/tex] is the ratio of specific heats of the gas which is equal to 1.4 for a diatomic gas.

So, the final pressure [tex]P_2[/tex] can be calculated as,

[tex]P_1V_1^{\gamma}=P_2V_2^{\gamma}\\11.2\times V^{1.4}=P_2\times (2V)^{1.4}\\P_2=4.244\rm\;atm[/tex]

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas will be 4.244 atm.

(b) What is the minimum work required of the hiker?
(c) Can the actual work done be greater than this? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

A) Change in potential energy is approximately 766 KJ

B) The minimum work required by the hiker is 765 KJ

C). Yes, the actual work can be greater than this

Explanation:

A) The hiker's potential energy can be calculated at the two different elevations, and then subtracted.

P.E at 1280 m = m X g X h = 60.5kg X 9.81 m/s2 X 1280 = 759, 686 J

P.E at 2570 m = m X g X h = 60.5kg X 9.81 m/s2 X 2570 = 1, 525, 307.85 J

Change in P.E = 1, 525, 307.85 J -759, 686 J = 765, 621.85 J = 766 KJ

B) Work which was done = Force X distance moved.

The force can be got from the effect of gravity on the hiker's mass = 60.5 kg X 9.81 = 593.5 Newton.

The distance moved can be obtained by subtracting the two elevations = 2570 -1280 = 1290 m

Work done = 593 X 1290 = 765, 615 J

The minimum work required by the hiker is 765 KJ

C) Yes, the actual work can be greater than this. This is because we can now put into consideration the fact that the hiker is climbing up the elevation against the force of gravity. This will mean that the hiker is actually doing more work than if he covered the distance on flat terrain,

A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following statements concerning this process is correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.)
A. The entropy gained by the iron is equal to the entropy lost by the ocean.
B. The ocean gains less entropy than the iron loses.
C. The change in the entropy of the iron-ocean system is zero.
D. The entropy lost by the iron is equal to the entropy gained by the ocean.
E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Answers

Answer:

E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Explanation:

When there is a spontaneous process , entropy of the system increases . Here hot iron is losing entropy and ocean is gaining entropy . Net effect will be gain of entropy . That means entropy gained by ocean is more than entropy lost by iron .

Hence option E is correct .

A vertical scale on a spring balance reads from 0 to 220 N. The scale has a length of 15.0 cm from the 0 to 220 N reading. A fish hanging from the bottom of the spring oscillates vertically at a frequency of 2.70 Hz. Ignoring the mass of the spring, what is the mass m of the fish?

Answers

Mass of fish is 5.09Kg

Explanation:

First to find the spring constant K using

k = F/s

= 220/0.15 = 1466.7 N/m

So using the formula

T = 2π√(m/k)

f = 1/T = 1/2πx √(k/m)

f² x 4π²= k/m

So

m = k/(f² x π²)

m = 1466.7/(2.7² x 4π²)

m = 5.09 kg

In a region of space where the magnetic field of the earth has a magnitude of 80 μT and is directed 30° below the horizontal, a 50-cm length of wire oriented horizontally along an east-west direction is moved horizontally to the south with a speed of 20 m/s. What is the magnitude of the induced potential difference between the ends of this wire?

Answers

Answer:

V_ind = 4 × 10^(-4) V

Explanation:

We are given;

Magnetic field; B = 80 μT = 8 × 10^(-5) T

Angle;θ = 30°

Lenght;L = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Speed; v = 20 m/s

Now, formula for the induced potential difference is known as;

V_ind = NBLVsin θ

Where;

V_Ind = Induced potential difference/voltage

N = Number of turns

B = Magnetic field

V = velocity

L = length

Number of turns in this case is 1 since it's just a wire between both ends.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values, we have;

V_ind = 1 × 8 × 10^(-5) × 20 × 0.5 × sin 30

V_ind = 4 × 10^(-4) V

A beak ball is thrown in an arc and in 2.0s its shadow on the ground travels 180 m in a straight line. What is the average speed of the shadow

Answers

Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

The formula for speed is distance/time. The distance is 180 m and the time it took for the ball to travel is 2 s.

180 m/2 s = 90 m/s
