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.
g A proton is held at rest in a uniform electric field. When it is released, the proton will lose... electrical potential energy. kinetic energy. both kinetic energy and electric potential energy. neither kinetic energy or electric potential energy.
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.
During a football game, a receiver has just caught a pass and is standing still. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocity of 2.60 m/s, grabs and holds onto him so that they move off together with a velocity of 1.30 m/s. If the mass of the tackler is 122 kg, determine the mass of the receiver. Assume momentum is conserved.
Answer:
122kgExplanation:
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

When the play button is pressed, a CD accelerates uniformly from rest to 430 rev/min in 4.0 revolutions. If the CD has a radius of 7.0 cm and a mass of 17 g , what is the torque exerted on it?
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].
A freight car moves along a frictionless level railroad track at constant speed. The freight car is open on top. A large load of coal is suddenly dumped into the car. What happens to the speed of the freight car
Answer:
The speed of the freight car decreases.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of momentum indicates that for colliding in an isolated system, the total momentum pre and post collision is same for the two objects this is done because the momentum that one item has lost is same for the momentum that the other received
In the given situation, the freight car travels at constant speed along a frictionless railroad line. The top floor freight car is open. Then a huge load of coal is dumped inside the car.
Therefore the speed of the freight car decreased by applying the law of conservation of momentum i
A 2 kg object is subjected to three forces that give it an acceleration −→a = −(8.00m/s^2)ˆi + (6.00m/s^2)ˆj. If two of the three forces, are −→F1 = (30.0N)ˆi + (16.0N)ˆj and −→F2 = −(12.0N)ˆi + (8.00N)ˆj, find the third force.
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]

A string is stretched between fixed supports separated by 72.0 cm. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of 370 and 555 Hz, and no other resonant frequencies between these two.(a) What is the lowest resonant frequency for this string?(b) What is the wave speed for this string?
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
An aluminium pot whose thermal conductivity is 237 W/m.K has a flat, circular bottom
with diameter 15 cm and thickness 0.4 cm. Heat is transferred steadily to boiling water in
the pot through its bottom at a rate of 1400 W. If the inner surface of the bottom of the pot
is at 105 °C, determine the temperature at the outer surface of the bottom of the pot
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
Convert from scientific notation to standard form

The temperature at the surface of the Sun is approximately 5,300 K, and the temperature at the surface of the Earth is approximately 293 K. What entropy change of the Universe occurs when 6.00 103 J of energy is transferred by radiation from the Sun to the Earth?
Answer:
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:
[tex]\delta S_{Earth} + \delta S_{sun} = \frac{Q}{T_E} -\frac{Q}{T_S} \\\\ = Q(\frac{1}{T_E} -\frac{1}{T_S} )\\\\= 6000(\frac{1}{293} -\frac{1}{5300} )\\\\=6000(0.0032243)\\\\= 19.346 \ J/K[/tex]
Therefore, the entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on a smooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of 18.0 m . Simultaneously, each puck is given a quick push, and they begin to slide directly toward each other. Puck A moves with a speed of 3.90 m/s , and puck B moves with a speed of 4.30 m/s . What is the distance covered by puck A by the time the two pucks collide
Answer:
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]
An arrow is shot from a height of 1.55 m toward a cliff of height H. It is shot with a velocity of 26 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on the top edge of the cliff 3.99 s later.
(a) Draw a sketch of the given example. Include the x-y coordinate system.
(b) What is the height of the cliff?
(c) What is the maximum height reached by the arrow along its trajectory?
(d) What is the arrow's impact speed just before hitting the cliff?
Answer:
Explanation:
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
d )
vertical speed after 3.99 s
v = u - gt
= 22.516 - 9.8 x 3.99
= -16.586
Horizontal component will remain unchanged
Horizontal component = 26 cos 60
= 13 m /s
Resultant of two velocities
= √ 13²+ 16.568²

1. In 214 BC, Archimedes invented a large spherical-type mirror used to focus the sun's intense rays onto far away enemy boats, which would eventually light them on fire. If the boats were travelling in a nearby channel approximately 1,000 m from the river bank, what would the radius of curvature of his mirror need to be? Show your work.
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
When an electromagnetic wave falls on a white, perfectly reflectingsurface, it exerts a force F on that surface. If the surfaceis now painted a perfectly absorbing black, the force that the samewave would exert on the surface is:___________.
A) F
B) F/2
C) F/4
D) 2F
E) 4F
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

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.
An object is thrown vertically and has an upward velocity of 18 m/s when it reaches one fourth of its maximum height above its launch point. What is the initial (launch) speed of the object
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

A light spring having a force constant of 115 N/m is used to pull a 9.00 kg sled on a horizontal frictionless ice rink. The sled has an acceleration of 2.10 m/s2. Part A By how much does the spring stretch if it pulls on the sled horizontally
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)
Question 7 of 10
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. what is the
net force on the couch as it slides?
O A. 337 N
B. 143 N
O C. 343 N
O D. 63 N
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 motion of an object undergoing constant acceleration can be modeled by the kinematic equations. One such equation is xf=xi+vit+12at2 where xf is the final position, xi is the initial position, vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. Let's say a car starts with an initial speed of 15 m/s, and moves between the 1000 m and 5000 m marks on a roadway in a time of 60 s. What is its acceleration?
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
At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3220-kg space tug and a 6240-kg asteroid. They pull on the asteroid with a force of 362 N. Initially the tug and the asteroid are at rest, 311 m apart. How much time does it take for the ship and the asteroid to meet
-- 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.
Sr-90 has a half-life of T1/2 = 2.85 a (years). How much Sr-90 will remain in a 5.00 g sample after 5.00 a? Show all of your work. (2 marks)
Answer:
1.48 g
Explanation:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the final amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is time,
and T is the half life.
A = (5.00 g) (½)^(5.00 a / 2.85 a)
A = 1.48 g
