Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Leavitt

Explanation:

In the course of her work, Leavitt discovered 2,400 new variable stars, half the known ones in her day. A certain group of variable stars, later called Cepheid variables, fluctuate in brightness (luminosity) in a regular pattern called their “period.” This period ranges from about one day to nearly four months.

Find the resistance that must be placed in series with a 25.0Ω25.0 Ω galvanometer having a 50.0µA50.0 μA sensitivity (the same as the one discussed in the text) to allow it to be used as a voltmeter with a 0.100-V full-scale reading

Answers

Answer:

1975 ohm

Explanation:

The maximum current that can pass through the galvanometer is 50.0µA

p.d across the galvanometer at a full scale deflection is given by

V = IR

V = (50.0×10^-6)*25

V1 = 1/800 or 0.00125volts

Since the p.d across the multiplier and galvanometer at full scale deflection is 0.100volts,the p.d across the multiplier alone must be given by

V2 = 0.100-0.00125

= 0.09875volts

Current passing through the multiplier is (50.0×10^-6)A

Hence if R is the resistance of the multiplier, we have that

V2 = (50.0×10^-6)×R

0.09875volts = (50.0×10^-6)×R

Divide both sides by 0.09875volts

R = 0.09875/(50.0×10^-6)

R =( 0.09875) ÷ 1/20000

R = 0.09875×20000

R = 1975 ohms

A water balloon is thrown horizontally with a
speed of 8.31 m/s from the roof of a building of
height H=23.0 m. How far does the balloon travel
horizontally before striking the ground? (Use the
vertical formula Av=v0v+1 2aw/2 to solve for time
and plug your components into the equation for
the horizontal direction Ar-vxt)
Your answer

Answers

Answer:

18m

Explanation:

Given

speed of water balloon = 8.31m/s

Height of building = 23.0m

Required

Horizontal distance

First we need to get the time using the equation of motion

S  = ut + 1/2at²

23 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

23 = 4.905t²

t² = 23/4.905

t² = 4.689

t = √4.689

t = 2.17secs

Next is to get the horizontal direction expressed as:

Sh = Vxt

Sh =  8.31 * 2.17

Sh = 17.99m

Sh ≈ 18m

Hence the horizontal distance of the object before striking the ground is approximately 18m

A conveyor belt dumps 2500 yd3 of gravel to form a cone-shaped pile. How high could this pile of gravel be, and what could the circumference of the pile of gravel be at ground level

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

r is the radius

h is the height

2500 = 1/3πr²h

Criss multiply

r²h = 2500 × 3π

Rewrite the expression

r²h = 50² × 3π

Compare values

r² = 50²

r = √50²

r = 50yd

The radius is 50yards

Also;

h = 3π yards

h = 3(3.14)

h = 9.42yards

Hence the pile is 9.42yards high

Circumference of the pile = 2πr

Given r = 50

Substitute

Circumference = 2π(50)

Circumference = 100π

Circumference = 100(3.14)

Circumference = 314yards

Hence the circumference of the pile at the ground level is 314yards

the whale shark is the largest of all fish and can have the mass of 3 adult elephants. suppose that a crane is lifting a whale shark into a tank for delivery to an aquarium. The crane must exert a force of 25000 N to lift the shark from rest. if the sharks acceleration equals 1.25m/s^2, what is the sharks mass ?

Answers

Answer: The whale shark is the largest type of fish in the world. Its mass can be as large as 2.00 x 10^4kg, which is the equivalent mass of three average adult elephants. Suppose a crane lifts a net with a 2.00 x 10^4kg whale shark off the ground. The net is steadily accelerated from rest over an interval of 2.5s until the net reaches a speed of 1.0 m/s.

Explanation:

How long will it take an object that falls from rest to attain a velocity of 147 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

15 seconds

Explanation:

We can use this formula to solve this problem:

Velocity = Initial Velocity + Acceleration * Time

We know that initial velocity is 0, the velocity is 147, and acceleration is 9.8(because of earth's gravitational pull), so we can plug those numbers in and solve for time:

147 = 0 + 9.8*t

t = 15

Therefore, it will take 15 seconds for an object that falls from rest to reach 147 m/s.

What is the angle between a wire carrying an 8.00-A current and the 1.20-T field it is in if 50.0 cm of the wire experiences a magnetic force of 2.40 N? (b) What is the force on the wire if it is rotated to make an angle of 90 ∘ 90∘ with the field?

Answers

Answer:

(a) the angle between the wire and field is 30⁰

(b) the force is 4.8 N

Explanation:

Given;

current in the wire, I = 8 A

magnetic field, B = 1.2 T

length of the wire, L = 50.0 cm = 0.5 m

magnetic force, F = 2.4 N

The magnetic force on the wire is given by;

F = BILsinθ

where;

θ is the angle between the wire and field

sinθ = F / BIL

sinθ = 2.4 / (1.2 x 8 x 0.5)

sinθ = 0.5

θ = sin ⁻¹ (0.5)

θ = 30⁰

(b) the force on the wire if it is rotated to make an angle of 90⁰

F = BIL(sin90⁰)

F = BIL(1)

F = BIL

F = 1.2 x 8 x 0.5

F = 4.8 N

Two ropes are tied to a 50 kg boat. One pulls with a force of 120 N due West and the other rope pulls with a force of 140 N due South. Find the net force of the boat (magnitude and direction) and the acceleration.

Answers

The net force on the boat is the vector

F = (-120 N) i + (-140 N) j

where we take West and South to be the negative directions going left-and-right and up-and-down, respectively.

The magnitude of the net force is

F = √((-120 N)² + (-140 N)²) = 20 √(85) N ≈ 180 N

and its direction is

tan(θ) = (-140 N) / (-120 N)   →   θ ≈ -130°

relative to due East, or approximately 50° South of West.

Problem 6 (20 points) A ballistic pendulum is a device often used for measuring the velocity of a projectile. Assume to projectile fully embeds itself in the pendulum. If the projectile mass is 25 grams, the pendulum mass is 2.5 kg, and the vertical displacement of the pendulum after the collision is 12 cm, find the velocity of the projectile just prior to the collision.

Answers

Answer:

The velocity of the projectile just prior to the collision is 154.934 meters per second.

Explanation:

Let consider the projectile-pendulum system as our system of study, from statement we know that projectile gives kinetic energy to the pendulum and turns into gravitational potential energy. By Principle of Energy Conservation we construct the following expression:

[tex]U_{g,1}+K_{1} = U_{g,2}+K_{2}[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]U_{g,1}[/tex], [tex]U_{g,2}[/tex] - Initial and final gravitational potential energies, measured in joules.

[tex]K_{1}[/tex], [tex]K_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final kinetic energies, measured in joules.

By applying definitions of gravitational potential and kinetic energies, we expand and simplify the equation above:

[tex](m+M)\cdot g \cdot (y_{2}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (m+M)\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})[/tex]

[tex]g\cdot (y_{2}-y_{1})=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})[/tex]

And we clear the initial velocity of the pendulum-projectile system:

[tex]v_{1}=\sqrt{v_{2}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (y_{2}-y_{1})}[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

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

[tex]M[/tex] - Mass of the ballistic pendulum, measured in kilograms.

[tex]v_{1}[/tex], [tex]v_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final speeds of the pendulum-projectile system, measured in meters per second.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

[tex]y_{1}[/tex], [tex]y_{2}[/tex] - Initial and vertical position of the pendulum-projectile system, measured in meters.

Under the consideration of inellastic collision, we find the velocity of the projectile prior to the collision by Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation:

[tex]m\cdot v_{o, P} + M\cdot v_{o,B} = (m+M)\cdot v_{1}[/tex]

[tex]v_{o,P} = \frac{(m+M)\cdot v_{1}-M\cdot v_{o,B}}{m}[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

[tex]v_{o, P}[/tex] - Velocity of the project prior to the collision, measured in meters per second.

[tex]v_{o,B}[/tex] - Velocity of the ballistic pendulum prior to the collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that [tex]v_{2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]y_{2}-y_{1} = 0.12\,m[/tex], [tex]m = 0.025\,kg[/tex], [tex]M = 2.5\,kg[/tex] and [tex]v_{o,B} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the velocity just prior to the collision is:

By (Eq. 1):

[tex]v_{1} =\sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.12\,m)}[/tex]

[tex]v_{1} \approx 1.534\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

By (Eq. 2):

[tex]v_{o,P} = \frac{(0.025\,kg+2.5\,kg)\cdot \left(1.534\,\frac{m}{s} \right)-(2.5\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{0.025\,kg}[/tex]

[tex]v_{o,P} = 154.934\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The velocity of the projectile just prior to the collision is 154.934 meters per second.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Drag is comprised of parasite drag and induced drag. The Parasite drag is the drag that acts on an object when the said object happens to be moving through a fluid. Parasite drag is also a combination of two forms of drag. These two forms of drag are called form drag and skin friction drag.

As the speed of an airplane increases, the parasite drag also increases while the induced drag of the airplane decreases. The parasite drag of an airplane in theory becomes four times greater, when it's airspeed is doubled.

Determine the required height h of the crest of the roller coaster to thebottom so that when it is essentially at rest at the crest of the hill it will reacha speed of 28 m/s when it comes to the bottom.

Answers

Answer:

h = 40 m

Explanation:

Assuming no friction present, total mechanical energy must be conserved, so the following expression stands:ΔK + ΔU = 0 (1)Now, if the car is at rest at the crest of the hill, the change in kinetic energy is just as follows:

       [tex]\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m* v_{b} ^{2}[/tex]  (2)

       where vb = speed at the bottom = 28 m/s

If we define the bottom as our zero reference level for the gravitational potential energy, we can write the following equation:

       [tex]\Delta U = U_{f} - U_{i} = 0- m*g*h = -m*g*h[/tex] (3)

From (1) we get:ΔK = -ΔUReplacing by (2) and (3), we get:

       [tex]\frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = m*g*h[/tex]

Simplifying and rearranging terms, we can solve for h (height required) as follows:

       [tex]h = \frac{v_{b} ^{2} }{2*g} = \frac{(28m/s)^{2}}{2*9.8m/s2} = 40 m[/tex]

A bus is moving to the right at an absolute velocity U. You throw a water balloon at the bus at an absolute velocity V (greater than U) after the bus passes you. A person on the bus sees the balloon hit the bus at a speed of:

Answers

Answer:

The person on the bus will see the balloon hit the bus at a velocity = V - U

Explanation:

There is relative motion between the water balloon and the person sitting in the bus.

Relative motion is the motion of a body with respect to another body (eg. an observer) from the point of reference of the second body (observer).

The person on the bus has a velocity which is the same as that of the moving bus = U

The velocity of the thrown water balloon (greater than U) = V

The relative motion between the person and the water balloon is the difference between their velocities (since they are both moving in the same direction) = V - U

Therefore, the person on the bus will see the balloon hit the bus at a velocity = V - U
