A 16 kg science book is dropped of a 120 meter high cliff. Assuming a closed system:
a) how fast is book traveling the instant before it impacts the ground below the cliff?
b) how far above the bottom of the cliff is the object moving at 12 m/s?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of that science book...wow. In pounds that would be 35.2! Yikes!

Anyway, we need final velocity here, and the mass of the book has nothing to do with how fast it falls. Everything is pulled by the same gravity. A feather falls at 9.8 m/s/s and so does an elephant. Mass is useless information. The equation we will use is

[tex]v^2=v_0^2+2a[/tex]Δx  where

v is the final velocity, our unknown,

v₀ is the initial velocity which is 0 since someone had to be holding the book before dropping it,

a is the pull of gravity which is always -9.8 m/s/s, and

Δx = -120 which is the displacement (it's negative because the book falls below the point from which it was dropped). Filling in:

[tex]v^2=0^2+2(-9.8)(-120)[/tex] so

[tex]v=\sqrt{2(-9.8)(-120)}[/tex] and

v = 48 m/s

As far as how far above the bottom of the cliff the object is when it is moving at 12 m/s we will use the same equation, but the velocity will be 12:

[tex]12^2=0^2+2(-9.8)[/tex]Δx and

144 = -19.6Δx so

Δx = -7.3 m. That's how far from the top of the cliff it is. We subtract then t find out how far it is from the bottom:

120 - 7.3 = 112.7 m off the ground.

You have a simple pendulum that oscillates with a period of 2 s as you stand on the surface of Earth. Your friend, an astronaut standing on the surface of the Moon, has a pendulum of the same length. What would be the period of oscillation of your friend’s pendulum?

a. Less than 2 s
b. The answer depends on whether the amplitudes are the same
c. More than 2 s
d. Exactly 2 s

Answers

Answer:

c. More than 2 s

Explanation:

First, we will find the length of the pendulum:

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\\2\ s = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81\ m/s^2}}\\\\4\ s^2 = 4\pi^2 (\frac{l}{9.81\ m/s^2})\\\\l = \frac{(4\ s^2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}{4\pi^2} \\\\l = 0.99\ m[/tex]

Now, the value of g becomes 1.625 m/s² on the surface of the moon. So the time period will be:

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\\T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.99\ m}{1.625\ m/s^2}}\\\\[/tex]

T = 4.9 s

Therefore, the correct option is:

c. More than 2 s

An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the terminals of a 8.85-V battery and charges up. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery, and the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled. As a result of this change, what is the new voltage between the plates of the capacitor

Answers

Answer:

The new voltage is 17.7 V.  

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 8.85 V

The spacing is doubled.

When it is disconnected, the charge remains same,

q = C V ..... (1)

where, C is the capacitance, V is the voltage.  

The capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the two plates.

So, when the spacing is doubled, the capacitance is halved.

Let the new voltage is V'.

C V = C' V'

C x 8.85 = C/2 x V'

V' = 17.7 V

A block is projected with speed v across a horizontal surface and slides to a stop due to friction. The same block is then projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction. In which case did the total mechanical energy of the block decrease the least

Answers

Answer: C. The case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

Explanation:

First and foremost, it should be noted that the mechanical energy is the addition of the potential and the kinetic energy.

From the information given, it should be known that when the block is projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction, the box will lose its kinetic energy but there'll be na increase in the potential energy as a result of the veritcal height. This then brings about an increase in the mechanical energy.

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the block will decrease the least when the case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

A bucket of mass m in a well is held up by a rope. the rope is wound around a drum of radius r there is also a handle of length R attached to the drum. the tension in the rope is equal to T. If the buket is allowed to fall into the well, which point will have the greatest angular acceleration, a point on the rim of the drum (at radius r) or a point on the end of the handle (at radius R)?

a. The point on the rim of the drum.
b. The point at the end of the handle.
c. They will both have the same angular acceleration.

Answers

Answer:

the correct answer is C

Explanation:

This is a system with circular motion, there is a relationship between the linear and angular variables

         a = α r

with the cube going down the well, the tension of the leather is maintained therefore the acceleration of the cube is

          W = m a

          -mg = ma

          a = -g

this acceleration a is the same as that at the edge of the drum.

         α = a / r

where we can see that the angular acceleration is constant

consequently the correct answer is C

how many atoms are in a 4.7 g copper coin?​

Answers

3.11 is the answer I think

Answer:

x = 4.45 * 10 ^22  Note. Technically, this should be rounded to 4.5 * 10^22. There are only 2 sig digits.

Explanation:

You have to assume that the coin is pure copper, which I doubt.  What a coin is actually made of  depends on when it was minted. But for the sake of this question, we'll assume coins are pure copper.

Copper has an atomic mass of 63.546 grams / mol

So 4.7 g of copper = 4.7 / 63.545 mol

We have 0.07396 mol of copper

1 mol of anything = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms (in this case).

0.07396 mol        = x

Cross Multiply

               

1 * x = 0.07396 * 6.02 * 10^23

x = 4.45 * 10 ^22  atoms of copper

A 47.2 kg girl is standing on a 177 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.53 m/s relative to the plank. What is her velocity relative to the ice surface

Answers

Answer:

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of girl; m_g = 47.2 kg

Mass of plank; m_p = 177 kg

Let the velocity of girl to ice be v_g,i

Let the velocity of plank to ice be v_p,i

Since the velocity of the girl is 1.53 m/s relative to the plank, then;

v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53

From conservation of momentum;

m_g × v_g,i = m_p × v_p,i

Thus;

47.2(v_g,i) = 177(v_p,i)

Dividing both sides by 47.2 gives;

v_g,i = 3.75(v_p,i)

v_pi = (v_g,i)/3.75

Thus, from v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53, we have;

v_g,i + ((v_g,i)/3.75) = 1.53

v_g,i(1 + 1/3.75) = 1.53

1.267v_g,i = 1.53

v_g,i = 1.53/1.267

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

Suppose there are 3 molecules in a container. If each molecule has a 1-in-2 chance of being in the left half of the container, what is the probability that there are exactly 2 molecules in the left half of the container?

Answers

Answer:

Total probability = 3/8

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Number of molecules in the container = 3

The probability of one molecule in the left half, P = 3 / 2 = 1.5 or 1/2

The probability of second molecule in the left half, P1 = (3/4)

Total probability = P x P1

Total probability = (1/2) x (3/4)

Total probability = 3/8

The sound from a trumpet radiates uniformly in all directions in 20C air. At a distance of 5.00 m from the trumpet the sound intensity level is 52.0 dB. The frequency is 587 Hz. (a) What is the pressure amplitude at this distance

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The intensity level (B) of a sound wave is given by:

If a force of 50 N stretches a spring 0.40 m, what is the spring constant?

Answers

Answer:

The spring constant = 125 N/m

Explanation:

Given that :

Force = 50 N

distance (x) = 0.40 m

Recall that, From Hooke's law

Force = kx

where;

k = spring constant.

50 N = k × 0.40 m

k = 50 N/0.40m

k = 125 N/m

A horizontal force is applied to a 4.0 kg box. The box starts from rest, moves a horizontal distance of 10.0 meters, and obtains a velocity of 7.0 m/s. The change in the kinetic energy is:_____.

Answers

Answer:

98 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Change in kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy

ΔK.E = mv²/2-mu²/2..............Equation 1

Where ΔK.E = Change in kinetic energy, m = mass of the box, u = initial velocity of the box, v = final velocity of the box.

From the question,

Given: m = 4.0 kg, u = 0 m/s, v = 7 ,0 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

ΔK.E = (4(7²)/2)-(4(0²)/2)

ΔK.E = (2×49)-0

ΔK.E = 98 J

Hence the change in kinetic energy 98 J

a. for the return flight
b. for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning

Answers

Answer:

a)   v = -4.74 m / s, b)  v = 0 m / s

Explanation:

Average speed is

          v = Δx /Δt

a) the variation of the distance on the return trip is

          Δx = -5120 km = -5120 10³ km

the negative sign is because the bird is going back

          Δt = 12.5 days (24 h / 1 day) (3600 s / 1 h) = 1.08 10⁶ s

          v = -5120 10³ / 1.08 10⁶

          v = -4.74 m / s

b) the displacement for the round trip is zero, therefore the average velocity is

         v = 0 m / s
