Hi there!

A.

We can use the work-energy theorem to solve.

Initially, both blocks have gravitational potential energy, which is then converted to kinetic energy.

Recall:
[tex]U = mgh \\[/tex]

U = Potential Energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

h = height (m)

And at the end, block 2 has both kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic is defined as:
[tex]KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

v = velocity (m/s)

We can do a summation of initial and final forces.

Initial:
[tex]E_i = m_2g\frac{h}{2} + m_1gh[/tex]

Final:
[tex]E_f = \frac{1}{2}m_2 v^2 + m_2g\frac{3h}{2} + \frac{1}{2}m_1 v^2[/tex]

Set the two equal (no energy loss in this situation) and solve for velocity.

[tex]m_2g\frac{h}{2} + m_1gh = \frac{1}{2}m_2 v^2 + m_2g\frac{3h}{2} + \frac{1}{2}m_1 v^2\\\\m_2g\frac{h}{2} + m_1gh - m_2g\frac{3h}{2} = \frac{1}{2}m_2 v^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1 v^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{gh(\frac{m_2}{2} + m_1 - \frac{3m_2}{2})}{\frac{1}{2}m_2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1}\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{gh(\frac{m_2}{2} + m_1 - \frac{3m_2}{2})}{\frac{1}{2}m_2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1}}\\\\v = \boxed{3.704 \frac{m}{s}}[/tex]

**This can be solved in a simpler way using a summation of forces.

B.

Now, we can do a summation of forces to solve. First, we must solve for the acceleration of the system now that we have found the velocity. Use the kinematic equation:
[tex]v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad[/tex]

Initial velocity is 0 m/s, so:
[tex]v_f^2 = 2ad\\\\a = \frac{v_f^2}{2d} = \frac{(3.704^2)}{2(2.10)} = 3.267 \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

Now, we can use a summation of forces for any block. We can do block 1:
[tex]\Sigma F = m_1g - T[/tex]

Using Newton's Second Law:
[tex]m_1a = m_1g - T\\\\T = m_1g - m_1a \\T = m_1 (g - a) = 4.10(9.8 - 3.267) = \boxed{26.828 N}[/tex]

What is angular speed ?

Angular speed can be defined as the measures of speed of how fast the central angle of a rotating body changes with respect to time

Angular speed mainly implies how quickly the rotation of an object occur means it is described as the change in the angle of the object per unit of time.

To calculate the speed of a rotational motion the angular speed value need to be known, hence  The angular speeds formula is used to calculate the distance traveled by an object in terms of rotation and revolutions per unit of time.

The unit of angular speed of an object is radian per second and Both angular speed, angular velocity are determined by using the same formula, angular velocity is  vector quantity which describes both magnitude and direction.

2. Box A has 2x the mass of Box B. Compare the inertia of the 2 bodies.

Answers

Box A has 2x the mass of Box B so Box A has more inertia as compared to Box B.

Relationship between inertia and mass

More the mass of an object, there is more inertia of the body. Thus, if mass of two bodies is same their inertia will also be same. Hence, inertia of A and B will be same as mass of both A and B are same.

So we can conclude that Box A has 2x the mass of Box B so Box A has more inertia as compared to Box B.

A single coil of wire, with a radius of 0.13 m is rotated in a uniform magnetic field such that the angle between the field vector and the area vector obeys θ=ωt. If the strength of the field is 3.746 T, and the angular frequency is 524.7 rad/s, what is the induced emf in the loop at t=1.16 s?

Answers

The magnitude of emf induced in the single coil of wire rotated in the uniform magnetic field is 0.171 V.


Induced emf

The emf induced in the loop is determined by applying Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

emf = N(dФ/dt)

where;

N is number of turns of the wireФ is magnetic flux

Ф = BA

where;

B is magnetic field strengthA is the area of the loop

emf = NBA/t

A = πr²

A = π x (0.13)²

A = 0.053 m²

emf = NBA/t

emf = (1 x 3.746 x 0.053)/(1.16)

emf = 0.171 V

Thus, the magnitude of emf induced in the single coil of wire is 0.171 V.

Maybe the question is :

A karate expert breaks a stack of bricks with his bare hand. If the force applied is 520 newtons and the impact time is [tex] \sf{5.0 \times 10^{-4}} [/tex] seconds, what is the value of impulse ?

So, the value of impulse is (A). 0.26 newton seconds.

Introduction

Hi ! Here, I will help you about the impulse. Impulse is described as a quantity which expresses the integral of the amount force respect to time. The amount of impulse will be proportional to the amount of force or time (the greater  value of the force or the value of time, the value of impuls is greater too). The relationship between impulse, force, and time is expressed in this equation :

[tex] \boxed{sf{\bold{I = F \times \Delta t}}} [/tex]

With the following condition:

I = impulse that occurs (N.s)F = force that given (N)[tex] \sf{\Delta t} [/tex] = interval of the time (s)

Problem SolvingWe know that :F = force that given = 520 N[tex] \sf{\Delta t} [/tex] = interval of the time = [tex] \sf{5.0 \times 10^{-4} \: s}[/tex]

What was asked :

I = impulse that occurs = ... N.s

Step by step :

[tex] \sf{I = F \times \Delta t} [/tex]

[tex] \sf{I = 520 \times (5.0 \times 10^{-4}} [/tex]

[tex] \sf{I = 2,600 \times 10^{-4}} [/tex]

[tex] \sf{I = 2.60 \times 10^3 \times 10^{-4}} [/tex]

[tex] \sf{I = 2.60 \times 10^{3 + (-4)}} [/tex]

[tex] \sf{I = 2.60 \times 10^{-1} = \boxed{0.26 \: N.s}} [/tex]

Conclusion :

So, the value of impulse is (A). 0.26 newton seconds

A uniformly charged insulating rod is bent into the shape of a semicircle of radius R = 5 cm. If the rod has a total charge of Q = 3.10-9C, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at O, the center of the circle.

Answers

Hi there!

We can begin by using Coulomb's Law:

[tex]E = \frac{kq}{r^2}[/tex]

k = Coulomb's Constant (8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²)

E = Electric field strength (N/C)
r = distance from point (m)

q = charge (C)

Since this is a continuous charge, we must use calculus.

We can express this as the following:
[tex]q = \lambda L[/tex]

λ = Linear charge density (C/m)

L = Length of rod (m)

Now, since this is an arc, L = s (arc length). Additionally, we must find the differential elements of each:
[tex]dq = \lambda ds\\\\dq = \lambda rd\theta[/tex]

Our new equation is:
[tex]dE = \frac{kdq}{r^2}\\\\dE = \frac{k\lambda rd\theta}{r^2}[/tex]

However, we will only take the cosine component of the electric field since the vertical components will cancel out. (Electric fields are a vector). Therefore:
[tex]dE = \frac{k\lambda rd\theta}{r^2}cos\theta\\\\dE = \frac{k\lambda}{r}cos\theta d\theta[/tex]

Integrate. For a semicircle, the bounds will be from -π/2 to π/2.

[tex]E = \frac{k\lambda}{r}\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}} {cos\theta} \, d\theta\\\\E = \frac{k\lambda}{r}sin\theta\left \|{\frac{\pi}{2}} \atop {-\frac{\pi}{2}}} \right. \\\\E = \frac{k\lambda}{r}(1 - (-1)) = \frac{2k\lambda}{r}[/tex]

We need to solve for λ, which is Q/ L:
[tex]\lambda = \frac{3.10 \times 10^{-9} C}{\pi (0.05)} = 1.9735 \times 10^{-8} \frac{C}{m}[/tex]

Now, plug and solve for the electric field strength:
[tex]E = \frac{2(8.99\times 10^9)(1.9735\times 10^{-8})}{0.05} = \boxed{7096.783 \frac{N}{C}}[/tex]
