-- F = m a ... ==>  a = F/m

-- The tension in the rope is 362 N.  That same force acts on the asteroid and on the tug, pulling them together.

-- The asteroid's acceleration is 362N / 6240 kg = 0.058 m/s², headed for a point on the rope somewhere between the asteroid and the tug.

-- The tug's acceleration is 362 N / 3220 kg = 0.112 m/s², also headed for a point on the rope somewhere between the tug and the asteroid.

-- So now we have a gap between them, initially 311 m long, closing with a speed that starts at zero and accelerates at  0.170 m/s² .

-- D = (1/2) a T²

311 m = (1/2) (0.170 m/s²) (T²)

T²  =  311 m / 0.085 m/s²

T = √(311/0.085)  seconds

T = 60.41 seconds

The answer I get is so durn near 60 seconds (1 minute) that it suggests two things to me:  ==> That's where the weird numbers of 362N and 311m came from, and ==> there's a good chance that my answer is correct.

Note:  It's important to me that you know that 5 points for this one is really cheap and chintzy, and the reason I decided to try it was only to see whether I could.

vertical component of the velocity of arrow

= 26 sin 60 = 22.516 m

height reached by it after 3.99 s

h = ut - 1/2 g t²

= 22.516 x 3.99 - .5 x 9.8 x 3.99²

= 89.83 - 78

11.83 m

Total height of cliff = 1.55 + 11.83

= 13.38 m

c ) maximum height covered s

v² = u² - 2gs

0 = u² - 2gs

s = u² / 2g

= 22.516² / 2 x 9.8

= 25.86

maximum height reached

= 25.86 + 1.55

= 27.41 m

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which states that 'the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to their sum after collision. The bodies will move together with a common velocity after collision.

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Before collision;

Momentum of receiver m1u1= 0 kgm/s (since the receiver is standing still)

Momentum of the tackler

m2u2 = 2.60*122 = 317.2 kgm/s

where m2 and u2 are the mass and velocity of the tacker respectively.

Sum of momentum before collision = 0+317.2 = 317.2 kgm/s

After collision

Momentum of the bodies = (m1+m2)v

v = their common velocity

m1 = mass of the receiver

Momentum of the bodies = (122+m1)(1.30)

Momentum of the bodies = 158.6+1.30m1

According to the law above;

317.2 = 158.6+1.30m1

317.2-158.6 = 1.30m1

158.6 = 1.30m1

m1 = 158.6/1.30

m1 = 122kg

The mas of the receiver is 122kg

Answer:

The final speed of the ball is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

A steel ball is dropped from a diving platform. It is required to find the velocity of the ball 0.9 seconds after its released. It will move under the action of gravity. Using equation of motion to find it as :

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]

u = 0 (at rest), a = g

[tex]v=gt\\\\v=10\times 0.9\\\\v=9\ m/s[/tex]

So, the final speed of the ball is 9 m/s.

Answer:

  c.  in the absence of an unbalanced force, an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion.

Explanation:

First law: things keep doing what they are doing, unless force is applied.

Answer:

A. F = 0.06 N

B. t = 6.37 s

Explanation:

A)

First we need to find the constant acceleration of the cart. For this purpose, we use 2nd equation of motion:

s = (Vi)(t) + (0.5)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = 1.62 m

Vi = 0 m/s   (Since, it starts from rest)

t = Time Taken = 4.34 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

1.62 m = (0 m/s)(4.34 s) + (0.5)(a)(4.34 s)²

1.62 m/9.4178 s² = a

a = 0.172 m/s²

Now, from Newton's Second law, we know that:

F = ma

where,

F = Net Force of the combination = ?

m = Mass pf combination = 354 g = 0.354 kg

Therefore,

F = (0.354 kg)(0.172 m/s²)

F = 0.06 N

B)

Now, for the same force, but changed mass = 762 g = 0.762 kg, we have the acceleration to be:

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 0.06 N/0.762 kg

a = 0.08 m/s²

Now, using  2nd equation of motion:

s = (Vi)(t) + (0.5)at²

1.62 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(0.08 m/s²)t²

t² = 1.62 m/(0.04 m/s²)

t = √40.54 s²

t = 6.37 s

a population increase

Explanation:

During the 20th century, the world population increased from 1.65 billion to 6 billion. In 1970, the world's population was half that of today. In less than 15 years, 47% of the population will live in areas already under heavy water stress. In Africa, between 75 and 250 million people will face growing shortages in 2020 due to climate change. The scarcity of some arid and semi-arid regions will have a decisive impact on migration.

Answer:

(a) f = 185 Hz

(b) v = 266.4 m/s

Explanation:

(a) The lowest frequency can be calculated by using the following formula for the calculation of the modes (resonant frequencies) in a string:

[tex]f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}[/tex]

[tex]f_n=nf[/tex]

n: order of the mode

v: velocity of the waves in the string

L: length of the string = 72.0cm = 0.72m

fn: frequency of the n-th mode

With the information about two consecutive modes you can find the lowest resonant frequency. First you find the resonant mode n:

[tex]f_n=nf\\\\f_{n-1}=(n-1)f\\\\\frac{f_n}{f_{n-1}}=\frac{n}{n-1}[/tex]

you solve the previous equation for n:

[tex](n-1)f_n=nf_{n-1}\\\\555n-555=370n\\\\n=3[/tex]

With this information you can calculate the lowest resonant frequency:

[tex]f_n=nf\\\\f=\frac{f_n}{n}=\frac{555}{3}=185Hz[/tex]

b) You have information about two consecutive modes fn, fn-1. Then, you can calculate the velocity of the waves:

[tex]f_{n}-f_{n-1}=n\frac{v}{2L}-(n-1)\frac{v}{2L}\\\\f_n-f_{n-1}=\frac{v}{2L}\\\\v=2L(f_n-f_{n-1})[/tex]

fn = 555 Hz

fn-1: 370 Hz

[tex]v=2(0.72m)(555-370)Hz=266.4\frac{m}{s}[/tex]´

hence, the velocityof the waves in the string is 266.4 m/s

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Now the net force is the applied force minus the frictional force; this is expressed mathematically as:

Fnet= Fappplied - Ffrictional

Now the frictional force is given as ;

Coefficient of friction × normal reaction

Normal reaction is the weight of the human acting in opposite direction.

Normal reaction of the human is ;

35 × 9.8 = 343N { note that weight = m× g and g= 9.8m/S2, a known standard }

Hence the Frictional force =343×0.4 =137.20N

Hence Fnet = 200-137.20 = 62.8N

Fnet = 63N to the nearest whole

The net force on the couch as it slides is  63N.

What is frictional force?

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction force.

The friction force is given by

f = coefficient of friction x Normal force

Given, the coefficient of kinetic friction between a couch and the floor is 0.4. If the couch has a mass of 35 kg and you push it with a force of 200 N.

Normal reaction is the weight of the human acting in opposite direction.

Normal reaction N =35 × 9.8 = 343N

Frictional force f =0.4 x 343

                          f =137.20N

The net force will be

Fnet= Fappplied - Ffrictional

Fnet = 200-137.20 = 62.8N

Fnet = 63N

Thus,  the net force on the couch as it slides is  63N.

The entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

Explanation:

Given;

temperature of the sun, [tex]T_s[/tex] = 5,300 K

temperature of the Earth, [tex]T_E[/tex] = 293 K

radiation energy transferred by the sun to the earth, E = 6000 J

The sun loses Q of heat and therefore decreases its entropy by the amount

[tex]\delta S_{sun} = \frac{-Q}{T_s}[/tex]

The earth gains Q of heat and therefore increases its entropy by the amount

[tex]\delta S_{Earth} = \frac{-Q}{T_E}[/tex]

The total entropy change is:

Answer:

The net torque exerted on CD is [tex]1.680 \times 10^{-3}\,N\cdot m[/tex].

Explanation:

As CD is acceleration uniformly, the following equation of motion can be used to determine the angular acceleration:

[tex]\dot n^{2} = \dot n_{o}^{2} + 2\cdot \ddot n \cdot \Delta n[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\dot n_{o}[/tex] - Initial angular speed, measured in revolutions per minute.

[tex]\dot n[/tex] - Final angular speed, measured in revolutions per minute.

[tex]\ddot n[/tex] - Angular acceleration, measured in revolution per square minute.

[tex]\Delta n[/tex] - Change in angular position, measured in revolutions.

The angular acceleration is cleared and calculated:

[tex]\ddot n = \frac{\dot n^{2}-\dot n_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \Delta n}[/tex]

Given that [tex]\dot n_{o} = 0\,\frac{rev}{min}[/tex], [tex]\dot n = 430\,\frac{rev}{min}[/tex] and [tex]\Delta n = 4\, rev[/tex], the angular acceleration is:

[tex]\ddot n = \frac{\left(430\,\frac{rev}{min} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rev}{min} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (4\,rev)}[/tex]

[tex]\ddot n = 23112.5\,\frac{rev}{min^{2}}[/tex]

The angular accelaration measured in radians per square second is:

[tex]\alpha = \left(23112.5\,\frac{rev}{min^{2}} \right)\cdot \left(2\pi\,\frac{rad}{rev}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{min^{2}}{s^{2}} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\alpha \approx 40.339\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}[/tex]

Net torque experimented by the CD during its accleration is equal to the product of its moment of inertia with respect to its axis of rotation and angular acceleration:

[tex]\tau = I \cdot \alpha[/tex]

Where:

[tex]I[/tex] - Moment of inertia, measured in [tex]kg \cdot m^{2}[/tex].

[tex]\alpha[/tex] - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

In addition, a CD has a form of a uniform disk, whose moment of inertia is:

[tex]I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot r^{2}[/tex]

Where:

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

[tex]r[/tex] - Radius of the CD, measured in meters.

If [tex]m = 0.017\,kg[/tex] and [tex]r = 0.07\,m[/tex], then:

[tex]I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.017\,kg)\cdot (0.07\,m)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]I = 4.165\times 10^{-5}\,kg\cdot m^{2}[/tex]

Now, the net torque exerted on CD is:

[tex]\tau = (4.165\times 10^{-5}\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot \left(40.339\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\tau = 1.680\times 10^{-3}\,N\cdot m[/tex]

The net torque exerted on CD is [tex]1.680 \times 10^{-3}\,N\cdot m[/tex].

Answer:

[tex]\vec{F_3}=(-34.0N)\hat{i}+(-12.0N)\hat{j}[/tex]

Explanation:

You have three forces F1, F2 an F3 that produce the following  acceleration:

a = −(8.00m/s^2)ˆi + (6.00m/s^2)ˆj

you know that force F1 and F2 are:

F1 = (30.0N)ˆi + (16.0N)ˆj

F2 = −(12.0N)ˆi + (8.00N)ˆj

and the force F3 is unknown:

F3 = F3x ˆi + F3y ˆj

The second Newton law is given by the following equation:

[tex]\vec{F}=m\vec{a}[/tex]

F: the total force = F1 +F2 + F3

m: mass of the object = 2 kg

By the properties of vectors you have:

[tex]\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}+\vec{F_3}=m\vec{a}\\\\(30.0-12.0+F_{3x})N\hat{i}+(16.0+8.00+F_{3y})N\hat{j}=(2.0kg)[(-8.00m/s^2)\hat{i}+(6.00m/s^2)\hat{j}]\\\\(18.0+F_{3x})N\hat{i}+(24.0+F_{3y})\hat{j}=(-16.00N)\hat{i}+(12.0N)\hat{j}[/tex]

Both x and y component must be equal in the previous equality, then you have:

[tex]18.0N+F_{3x}=-16.00N\\\\F_{3x}=-34.00N\\\\24.0N+F_{3y}=12.0N\\\\F_{3y}=-12.00N[/tex]

Hence, the vector F3 is:

[tex]\vec{F_3}=(-34.0N)\hat{i}+(-12.0N)\hat{j}[/tex]

The distance covered by puck A before collision is  [tex]z = 8.56 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The label on the two hockey pucks is  A and  B

    The distance between the  two hockey pucks is D   18.0 m

     The speed of puck A is  [tex]v_A = 3.90 \ m/s[/tex]

        The speed of puck B is  [tex]v_B = 4.30 \ m/s[/tex]

The distance covered by puck A is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z = v_A * t[/tex]

  =>  [tex]t = \frac{z}{v_A}[/tex]

 The distance covered by puck B  is  mathematically represented as

      [tex]18 - z = v_B * t[/tex]

=>   [tex]t = \frac{18 - z}{v_B}[/tex]

Since the time take before collision is the same

        [tex]\frac{18 - z}{V_B} = \frac{z}{v_A}[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]\frac{18 -z }{4.3} = \frac{z}{3.90}[/tex]

=>      [tex]70.2 - 3.90 z = 4.3 z[/tex]

=>       [tex]z = 8.56 \ m[/tex]

Answer:

v = 25.45 m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the initial speed of the object, you take into account the formula for the maximum height reaches by the object. Such a formula is given by:

[tex]h_{max}=\frac{v_o^2}{g}[/tex]   (1)

vo: initial speed of the object = 18 m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

Furthermore you use the following formula for the final speed of the object:

[tex]v^2=v_o^2-2gh[/tex]       (2)

h: height

You know that the speed of the object is 18m/s when it reaches one fourth of the maximum height. You use this information, and you replace the equation (1) in to the equation (2), as follow:

[tex]v^2=v_o^2-2g(\frac{h_{max}}{4})=v_o^2-\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{v_o^2}{g})\\\\v^2=v_o^2-\frac{1}{2}v_o^2=\frac{1}{2}v_o^2[/tex]

Then, you solve the previous result for vo:

[tex]v_o=\sqrt{2}v=\sqrt{2}(18m/s)=25.45\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The initial speed of the object was 25.45 m/s

Answer:

Stretch in the spring = 0.1643 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the sled (m) = 9 kg

Acceleration of the sled (a) = 2.10 m/s ²

Spring constant (k) = 115 N/m

Computation:

Tension force in the spring  (T) = ma

Tension force in the spring  (T) = 9 × 2.10

Tension force in the spring  (T) = 18.9 N

Tension force in the spring = Spring constant (k) × Stretch in the spring

18.9 N = 115 N  × Stretch in the spring

Stretch in the spring = 18.9 / 115

Stretch in the spring = 0.1643 (Approx)

Answer:

B. F/2

Explanation:

The radiation force per unit area (radiation pressure Prad) exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a perfectly absorbing body has been found by experiment to be equal to the energy density of the wave

i.e Prad = u

For a reflecting body, this force exerted per unit area has been found to be twice the energy density of the wave.

i.e Prad = 2u.

Therefore, if the force exerted on a perfectly reflective body is F, then the force exerted on a perfectly absorbing body will be F/2

Answer:

It will lose electrical potential energy.

Explanation:

A photon held at rest in a uniform electrical field will lose electrical potential energy when it is released this is because the electrical potential energy is the energy posses by the photon at rest or by virtue of the position is converted to kinetic energy which is energy posses by a body in motion.

Since the photon is released and set in motion , it now has kinetic energy and has lost the potential energy because it is set in motion.

Answer:

T₁ = 378.33 k = 105.33°C

Explanation:

From Fourier's Law of heat conduction, we know that:

Q = - KAΔT/t

where,

Q = Heat Transfer Rate = 1400 W

K = Thermal Conductivity of Material (Aluminum) = 237 W/m.k

A =Surface Area through which heat transfer is taking place=circular bottom

A = π(radius)² = π(0.15 m)² =  0.0707 m²

ΔT = Difference in Temperature of both sides of surface = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = Temperature of outer surface = ?

T₂ = Temperature of inner surface = 105°C + 273 = 378 k

ΔT = 388 k - T₁

t = thickness of the surface (Bottom of Pot) = 0.4 cm = 0.004 m

Therefore,

1400 W = - (237 W/m.k)(0.0707 m²)(378 k - T₁)/0.004 m

(1400 W)/(4188.14 W/k) = - (378 k - T₁)

T₁ = 0.33 k + 378 k

T₁ = 378.33 k = 105.33°C

Answer:

a = 1.72 m/s²

Explanation:

The given kinematic equation is the 2nd equation of motion. The equation is as follows:

xf = xi + (Vi)(t) + (1/2)(a)t²

where,

xf = the final position =  5000 m

xi = the initial position = 1000 m

Vi = the initial velocity = 15 m/s

t = the time taken = 60 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

5000 m = 1000 m + (15 m/s)(60 s) + (1/2)(a)(60 s)²

5000 m = 1000 m + 900 m + a(1800 s²)

5000 m = 1900 m + a(1800 s²)

5000 m - 1900 m = a(1800 s²)

a(1800 s²) = 3100 m

a = 3100 m/1800 s²

a = 1.72 m/s²

Answer:

2000 m

Explanation:

since the boat is 1000 m from the river bank, the beam must be focused at this point. This indicates that the focal length is 1000 m

for a spherical mirror, the focal length is given by

f = R/2

where R is the radius of curvature

1000 = R/2

R = 2000 m

R = 2000 m

this means that the radius of curvature must be 2000 m
