n astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter. Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a time interval 11.2 s . What are the average acceleration in each interval? Assume that the positive direction is to the right.
Answer:-
-1 m/s^2
Explanation:
The average acceleration is given by dividing the change in velocity by change in time;
[tex]a_f=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{(0-11.2)}{(11.2-0)}=-1 m/s^2[/tex]
the point to be noted here is if the velocity is to the left we substitute it with a negative sign and if it is to the right we substitute it with a positive sign.
The magnitude of the magnetic field at a certain distance from a long, straight conductor is represented by B. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at twice the distance from the conductor
Answer:

4. A neutrally charged conductor has a negatively charged rod brought close to it, and thus has an induced positive charge on the surface closest to the rod. What can we say about the overall charge on the conductor
Answer:
Overall charge still remains zero on conductor until touched by charged rod.
Explanation:
Here, we want to know what has happened to the overall charge on the conductor.
Since the conductor is neutral, the overall charge on the conductor must remain zero because positive charge is induced on close end to rod then equal and negaitve charge is induced on far end to rod.
Thus, overall charge still remains zero on conductor until touched by charged rod.
250cm3 of fres
er of density 1000kgm-3 is mixed with 100cm3 of sea water of density 1030kgm-3. Calculate the density of the mixture. *
Answer:
1008.57kg/m3
Explanation:
Now the mass of fresh water is 250×1000 /1000000 = 0.25kg
Now the mass of salt water is
100×1030 /1000000 = 0.103kg
Note Density = mass / volume
Mass = volume × density
Note that converting from cm3 to m3 we divide by 1000000
Total mass = 0.25kg +0.103kg= 0.353kg.
Total volume also is (250 +100 )/1000000= 35 × 10^{-5}m3
Hence the density of the mixture= total mass / total volume
0.353kg/35 × 10^{-5}m3=1008.57kg/m3
A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 90 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strikes the ground. The initial velocity of the ball is 36.2 m/s if air resistance is negligible. The time when the ball strikes the ground is closest to
Answer:
The time when the ball strikes the ground is closest to [tex]t_t = 9.4 \ s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time of projection is t = 0.0 s
The distance of the point from the ground is [tex]d = 90 \ m[/tex]
The initial velocity of the ball is [tex]v _i = 36 .2 \ m/s[/tex]
generally the time required to reach maximum height is
[tex]t_r = \frac{g}{v}[/tex]
Where is the acceleration due to gravity with value [tex]g = 9.8 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]t_r = \frac{36.2}{9.8}[/tex]
[tex]t_r = 3.69 s[/tex]
when returning the time and velocity at the roof level is t = 3.69 s and u = 36.2 m/s this due to the fact that air resistance is negligible
The final velocity at which it hit the ground is
[tex]v_f^2 = u^2 + 2ag[/tex]
So
[tex]v_f = \sqrt{ u^2 + 2gs}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]v_f = \sqrt{ 3.69^2 + 2* 9.8 * 90}[/tex]
[tex]v_f = 55.45 \ m/s[/tex]
The time taken for the ball to move from the roof level to the ground is
[tex]t_g = \frac{v-u}{a}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t_g = \frac{55.45 -36.2}{9.8}[/tex]
[tex]t_g = 1.96 \ s[/tex]
The total time for this travel is
[tex]t_t = t_g + 2 t_r[/tex]
[tex]t_t = 1.96 + 2(3.69)[/tex]
[tex]t_t = 9.4 \ s[/tex]
Consider two copper wires of equal cross-sectional area. One wire has 3 times the length of the other. How do the resistivities of these two wires compare?
Explanation:

[tex]\rho[/tex] is resistivity of material
l is length of wire
A is area of cross section of wire
Resistivity of a material is the hidden property. If one wire has 3 times the length of the other, then it doesn't affect its resistivity. Hence, the resistivity of two wires is

Computation:
Work is done by friction = -Fd
Work is done by friction = -(30)(5.5)
Work is done by friction = -165 J
Which of the following is analogous to the pipes in an electrical circuit?
A. capacitors storing the incoming charge from the battery
B. large resistors causing restrictions to the flow of charge
C. electric current flowing “downhill” from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in a battery electric current being forced uphill by the battery
D. electric current being forced uphill by the battery back to the positive terminal
The correct answer is D. electric current being forced uphill by the battery back to the positive terminal.
What is Electric Current?
Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conducting medium, such as a wire, due to the movement of electrons or ions. The flow of charge is typically caused by the presence of an electric field that creates a potential difference (voltage) between two points in a circuit
In an electrical circuit, pipes are analogous to wires or conductive paths that allow the flow of electric current. The flow of electric current is from the positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal, which is opposite to the direction of conventional current flow. Therefore, option C is incorrect.

Use the position function s(t) = -16t + v_0t + s_0 for free falling objects. A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a 600-foot building with an initial velocity of -30 feet per second. (a) Determine the position and velocity functions for the ball. (b) Determine the average velocity on the interval [1, 3]. (c) Find the instantaneous velocities when t=1 and t=3. (d) Find the time required for the ball to reach ground level. (e) Find the velocity of the ball at impact.
Answer:
a) v = -30 - 32 t , s (t) = 600 - 30 t -16 t² , b) v = -32 ft / s
c) v (1) = -62 ft / s, v (3) = -126 ft / s , d) t = 7.13 s , e) v = -258.16 ft / s
Explanation:
a) For this exercise they give us the function of the position of the ball
s (t) = s (o) + v_o t - 16 t²
notice that you forgot to write the super index
indicate the initial position of the ball
s (o) = 600 ft
also indicates initial speed
v_o = - 30 ft / s
let's substitute in the equation
s (t) = 600 - 30 t -16 t²
to find the speed we use
v = ds / dt
v = v_o - 32 t
v = -30 - 32 t
b) To find the average speed, look for the speed at the beginning and end of the time interval
t = 1 s
v (1) = -30 -32 1
v (1) = - 62 ft / s
t = 3 s
v (3) = -30 -32 3
v (3) = -126 ft / s
the average speed is
v = (v (3) -v (1)) / (3-1)
v = (-126 +62) / 2
v = -32 ft / s
c) instantaneous speeds, we already calculated them
v (1) = -62 ft / s
v (3) = -126 ft / s
d) the time to reach the ground
in this case s = 0
0 = 600 - 30 t -16 t²
t² + 1,875 t - 37.5 = 0
we solve the quadratic equation
t = [-1,875 ±√ (1,875² + 4 37.5)] / 2
t = [1,875 ± 12.39] / 2
t₁ = 7.13 s
t₂ = negative
Since the time must be positive, the correct answer is t = 7.13 s
e) the speed of the ball on reaching the ground
v = -30 - 32 t
v = -30 - 32 7.13
v = -258.16 ft / s

A transformer has a primary coil with 375 turns of wire and a secondary coil with 1,875 turns. An AC voltage source connected across the primary coil has a voltage given by the function Δv = (130 V)sin(ωt). What rms voltage (in V) is measured across the secondary coil?
Answer:
The rms voltage (in V) measured across the secondary coil is 459.62 V
Explanation:
Given;
number of turns in the primary coil, Np = 375 turns
number of turns in the secondary coil, Ns = 1875 turns
peak voltage across the primary coil, Ep = 130 V
peak voltage across the secondary coil, Es = ?

The index of refraction of Sophia's cornea is 1.387 and that of the aqueous fluid behind the cornea is 1.36. Light is incident from air onto her cornea at an angle of 17.5° from the normal to the surface. At what angle to the normal is the light traveling in the aqueous fluid?
Answer:
17.85°
Explanation:
To find the angle to the normal in which the light travels in the aqueous fluid you use the Snell's law:
[tex]n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2[/tex]
n1: index of refraction of Sophia's cornea = 1.387
n2: index of refraction of aqueous fluid = 1.36
θ1: angle to normal in the first medium = 17.5°
θ2: angle to normal in the second medium
You solve the equation (1) for θ2, next, you replace the values of the rest of the variables:
[tex]\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{n_2})\\\\\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{(1.387)(sin17.5\°)}{1.36})=17.85\°[/tex]
hence, the angle to normal in the aqueous medium is 17.85°
Lebron James and Stephen Curry are playing an intense game of minigolf. The final(18th) hole is 8.2 m away from the tee box (starting location) at an angle of 20◦ east of north. Lebron’s first shot lands 8.6 m away at an angle of 35.2◦ east of north and Steph’s first shot lands 6.1 m away at an angle of 20◦ east of north. Assume that the minigolf course is flat.
(A) Which ball lands closer to the hole?
(B) Each player sunk the ball on the second shot. At what angle did each player hit their ball to reach the hole?
Answer:
A. we will see that the notion [tex]\mathbf{|r ^ \to - r_2 ^\to| = 2.10006 \ m}[/tex] which denotes Stephen Curry illustrates that Stephen Curry minigolf ball shot is closer
B. Lebron James hits at an angle of 17.48° North -East.
The direction of Stephen is = 20° due to East of North
Explanation:
Let [tex]r ^ {\to[/tex] represent the position vector of the hole;
Also; using the origin as starting point. Let the east direction be along the positive x axis and the North direction be + y axis
Thus:
[tex]r ^ {\to[/tex] = [tex]8.2 \ sin 20^0 \hat i + 8.2 \ cos 20 \hat j[/tex]
[tex]r ^ {\to[/tex] = [tex](2.8046 \hat i + 7.7055 \hat j ) m[/tex]
Let [tex]r_1 ^ \to[/tex] be the position vector for Lebron James's first shot
So;
[tex]r_1 ^ \to[/tex] = [tex](8.6 \ sin \ 35.2 )^0 \hat i + 8.6 \ cos \ ( 35.2)^0 \hat j[/tex]
[tex]r^ \to = (4.9573 \hat i + 7.02745 \hat j) m[/tex]
Let [tex]r_2 ^ \to[/tex] be the position vector for Stephen Curry's shot
[tex]r_2 ^ \to[/tex] [tex]=6.1 \ sin 20^0 \hat i + 6.1 \ cos \ 20 \hat j[/tex]
[tex]r_2 ^ \to[/tex] = [tex](2.0863 \hat i + 5.7321 \hat j )m[/tex]
However;
[tex]r ^ \to - r_1 ^\to = (-2.1527 \hat i + 0.67805 \hat j) m[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{|r ^ \to - r_1 ^\to| =2.25696 \ m }[/tex]
Also;
[tex]r ^ \to - r_2 ^\to = (0.71013 \hat i - 1.9734 \hat j) m[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{|r ^ \to - r_2 ^\to| = 2.10006 \ m}[/tex]
Thus; from above ; we will see that the notion [tex]\mathbf{|r ^ \to - r_2 ^\to| = 2.10006 \ m}[/tex] which denotes Stephen Curry illustrates that Stephen Curry minigolf ball shot is closer
B .
For Lebron James ;
The angle can be determine using the trigonometric function:
[tex]tan \theta = ( \dfrac{0.67805}{-2.1527}) \\ \\ tan \theta = -0.131498 \\ \\ \theta = tan ^{-1} ( -0.31498) \\ \\ \mathbf{\theta = -17.48^0}[/tex]
Thus Lebron James hits at an angle of 17.48° North -East.
For Stephen Curry;
[tex]tan \theta = ( \dfrac{-1.9734}{0.7183}) \\ \\ tan \theta = -2.74732 \\ \\ \theta = tan ^{-1} ( -2.74732) \\ \\ \mathbf{\theta = -70.0^0}[/tex]
The direction of Stephen is = 90° - 70° = 20° due to East of North

A tuning fork is held over a resonance tube, and resonance occurs when the surface of the water is 12 cm below the top of the tube. Resonance occurs again when the water is 34 cm below the top of the tube. If the air temperature is 23 degrees Celsius, find the frequency of the tuning fork.
Answer:
786 Hz
Explanation:
Recall, the speed of sound is
v = 332 + 0.6t
Where t = 23°
v = 332 + 0.6(23)
v = 332 + 13.8
v = 345.8 m
Also, it is known that distance between two consecutive resonance length is half of the wavelength.
L2 - L1 = λ/2
34 - 12 = λ/2
λ/2 = 22
λ = 44 cm
Finally, remember that also
Frequency = speed/ wavelength
Frequency = 345.8/0.4
Frequency = 786 Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the tuning fork is 786 Hz

The potential energy for a certain mass moving in one dimension is given by U(x) = (2.0 J/m3)x3 - (15 J/m2)x2 + (36 J/m)x - 23 J. Find the location(s) where the force on the mass is zero. 3.0 m, 5.0 m 4.0 m, 5.0 m 2.0 m, 3.0 m 1.0 m
Answer:
The location are [tex]x_1 = 2 \ and \ x_2 = 3[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The potential energy is [tex]U(x) = (2.0 \ J/m^3) * x^3 - (15 \ J/m) * x^2 + (36 \ J/m) * x - 23 \ J[/tex]
The force on the mass can be mathematically evaluated as
[tex]F = - \frac{d U(x)}{d x } = -( 6 x^2 - 30x +36)[/tex]
The negative sign shows that the force is moving in the opposite direction of the potential energy
[tex]F = - 6 x^2 + 30x - 36[/tex]
At critical point
[tex]\frac{d U(x)}{dx} = 0[/tex]
So
[tex]- 6 x^2 + 30x - 36 = 0[/tex]
[tex]- x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0[/tex]
Using quadratic equation formula to solve this we have that
[tex]x_1 = 2 \ and \ x_2 = 3[/tex]

An object is known to have a coefficient of kinetic friction (µk) of 0.167 and a coefficient of static friction (µk) of 0.42. If the normal force is 200 N, how much frictional force will it encounter while it is moving?
Answer:
Ff = 33.4N
Explanation:
To find the frictional force while the object is moving, you take into account that the friction force depends of the coefficient of kinetic friction.
The frictional force is given by:
[tex]F_f=\mu_kN[/tex] (1)
Ff: frictional force = ?
µk: coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.167

The potential difference between them is 25 kV. Electrons enter through a small hole in the cathode, are accelerated, and then exit through a small hole in the anode. Assume the plates act as a capacitor.
a. What is the electric field strength and direction between the plates?
b. With what speed does an electron exit the electron gun if its entry speed is close to zero? [Note: ignore relativity]
c. If the capacitance of the plates is 1 nF, how much charge is stored on each plate? How many extra electrons does the cathode have?
d. If you wanted to push an electron from the anode to the cathode, how much work would you have to do?
Answer:
A. 2.083 MV/m from anode to cathode.
B. 93648278.15 m/s
C. 2.5x10^-5 C and there are about 1.56x10^14 electrons
D. 4x10^-15 Joules
Explanation:
Voltage V across plate is 25 kV = 25x10^3 V
Distance apart x = 1.2 cm = 1.2x10^-2 m
A. Electric field strength is the potential difference per unit distance
E = V/x = 25x10^3/1.2x10^-2 = 2083333.3 V/m
= 2.083 MV/m
B. Energy of electron is electron charge times the voltage across
i.e eV
Charge on electron = 1.6x10^-19 C
Energy of electron = 1.6x10^-19 x 25x10^3 = 4x10^-15 Joules
Mass of electron m is 9.12x10^-31 kg
Kinetic energy of electron = 0.5mv^2
Where v is the speed
4x10^-15 = 0.5 x 9.12x10^-31 x v^2
v^2 = 8.77x10^15
v = 93648278.15 m/s
C. From Q = CV
Q = charge
C = capacitance = 1 nF 1x10^-9 F
V = voltage = 25x10^3 V
Q = 1x10^-9 x 25x10^3 = 2.5x10^-5 C
Total number of electrons = Q/e
= 2.5x10^-5/1.6x10^-19 = 1.56x10^14 electrons
D. To push electron from cathode to anode, I'll have to do a work of about
4x10^-15 Joules
