Answer:
Explanation:
According to first law of thermodynamics:
∆U= q + w
= 10kj+(-70kJ)
-60kJ
, w = + 70 kJ
(work done on the system is positive)
q = -10kJ ( heat is given out, so negative)
∆U = -10 + (+70) = +60 kJ
Thus, the internal energy of the system decreases by 60 kJ.

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 622 nm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of the slit to the screen is [tex]D = 5 \ m[/tex]
The order of the fringe is m = 6
The distance between the slit is [tex]d = 0.9 \ mm = 0.9 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The fringe distance is [tex]Y = 1.9 \ cm = 0.019 \ m[/tex]
Generally the for a dark fringe the fringe distance is mathematically represented as
[tex]Y = \frac{[2m - 1 ] * \lambda * D }{2d}[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = \frac{Y * 2 * d }{[2*m - 1] * D}[/tex]
substituting values
=> [tex]\lambda = \frac{0.019 * 2 * 0.9*10^{-3} }{[2*6 - 1] * 5}[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = 6.22 *10^{-7} \ m[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 622 nm[/tex]
The 2-Mg truck is traveling at 15 m/s when the brakes on all its wheels are applied, causing it to skid for 10 m before coming to rest. The total mass of the boat and trailer is 1 Mg. Determine the constant horizontal force developed in the coupling C, and the friction force developed between the tires of the truck and the road during this time.
Answer:
constant horizontal force developed in the coupling C = 11.25KN
the friction force developed between the tires of the truck and the road during this time is 33.75KN
Explanation:
See attached file
The friction force between the tires of the truck and the road is 22500 N.
Calculating the friction force:It is given that a 2 Mg truck ( m = 2000 Kg) is initially moving with a speed of u = 15 m/s.
Distance traveled before coming to rest, s = 10m
The final velocity of the truck will be zero, v = 0
When the breaks are applied, only the frictional force is acting on the truck and it is opposite to the motion of the truck.
The frictional force is given by:
f = -ma
the acceleration of the truck = -a
The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is opposite to the motion.
Applying the third equation of motion we get:
v² = u² -2as
0 = 15² - 2×a×10
225 = 20a
a = 11.25 m/s²
So the magnitude of frictional force is:
f = ma = 2000 × 11.25 N
f = 22500 N

Unpolarized light passes through a vertical polarizing filter, emerging with an intensity I0. The light then passes through a horizontal filter, which blocks all of the light; the intensity transmitted through the pair of filters is zero. Suppose a third polarizer with axis 45 ? from vertical is inserted between the first two.
What is the transmitted intensity now?
Express your answer in terms of I0. I got I0/8. But this is not right. I guess they want a number?
Answer:
I₂ = 0.25 I₀
Explanation:
To know the light transmitted by a filter we must use the law of Malus
I = I₀ cos² θ
In this case, the intensity of the light that passes through the first polarizer is I₀, it reaches the second polarized, which is at 45⁰, therefore the intensity I1 comes out of it.
I₁ = I₀ cos² 45
I₁ = I₀ 0.5
this is the light that reaches the third polarizer, which is at 45⁰ with respect to the second, from this comes the intensity I₂
I₂ = I₁ cos² 45
I₂ = (I₀ 0.5) 0.5
I₂ = 0.25 I₀
this is the intensity of the light transmitted by the set of polarizers
Two buses are moving in opposite directions with velocities of 36 km/hr and 108
km/hr. Find the distance between them after 20 minutes.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Speed of bus 1 is 36 km/h and speed of bus 2 is 108 km/h. We need to find the distance between bus 1 and 2 after 20 minutes.
Time = 20 minutes = [tex]\dfrac{20}{60}\ h=\dfrac{1}{3}\ h[/tex]
As the buses are moving in opposite direction, then the concept of relative velocity is used. So,
Distance, [tex]d=v\times t[/tex]
v is relative velocity, v = 108 + 36 = 144 km/h
So,
[tex]d=144\ km/h \times \dfrac{1}{3}\ h\\\\d=48\ km[/tex]
So, the distance between them is 48 km after 20 minutes.

A particle moves in a velocity field V(x, y) = x2, x + y2 . If it is at position (x, y) = (7, 2) at time t = 3, estimate its location at time t = 3.01.
Answer:
New location at time 3.01 is given by: (7.49, 2.11)
Explanation:
Let's start by understanding what is the particle's velocity (in component form) in that velocity field at time 3:
[tex]V_x=x^2=7^2=49\\V_y=x+y^2=7+2^2=11[/tex]
With such velocities in the x direction and in the y-direction respectively, we can find the displacement in x and y at a time 0.01 units later by using the formula:
[tex]distance=v\,*\, t[/tex]
[tex]distance_x=49\,(0.01)=0.49\\distance_y=11\,(0.01)=0.11[/tex]
Therefore, adding these displacements in component form to the original particle's position, we get:
New position: (7 + 0.49, 2 + 0.11) = (7.49, 2.11)
On a certain planet a body is thrown vertically upwards with an initial speed of 40 m / s. If the maximum height was 100 m, the acceleration due to gravity is

Si se deja caer una piedra desde un helicóptero en reposo, entonces al cabo de 20 s cual será la rapidez y la distancia recorrida por la piedra
Answer:
La piedra alcanza una rapidez de 196.14 metros por segundo y una distancia recorrida de 1961.4 metros en 20 segundos.
Explanation:
Si se excluye los efectos del arrastre por la viscosidad del aire, la piedra experimenta un movimiento de caída libre, es decir, que la piedra es acelerada por la gravedad terrestre. La distancia recorrida y la rapidez final de la piedra pueden obtenerse con la ayuda de las siguientes ecuaciones cinemáticas:
[tex]v = v_{o} + g\cdot t[/tex]
[tex]y - y_{o} = v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2}[/tex]
Donde:
[tex]v[/tex], [tex]v_{o}[/tex] - Rapideces final e inicial de la piedra, medidas en metros por segundo.
[tex]t[/tex] - Tiempo, medido en segundos.
[tex]g[/tex] - Aceleración gravitacional, medida en metros por segundo al cuadrado.
[tex]y[/tex]. [tex]y_{o}[/tex] - Posiciones final e inicial de la piedra, medidos en metros.
Si [tex]v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]y_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], entonces:
[tex]v = 0\,\frac{m}{s} +\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (20\,s)[/tex]
[tex]v = -196.14\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]y-y_{o} = \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (20\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (20\,s)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]y-y_{o} = -1961.4\,m[/tex]

[tex]a_{max} = 0.00246 \ m/s^2[/tex]
b
[tex]k =722.2 \ N/m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The amplitude is [tex]A = 1.8 \ cm = 0.018 \ m[/tex]
The period is [tex]T = 17 \ s[/tex]
The test weight is [tex]W = 13 \ N[/tex]
Generally the radial acceleration is mathematically represented as
[tex]a = w^2 r[/tex]
at maximum angular acceleration
[tex]r = A[/tex]
So
[tex]a_{max} = w^2 A[/tex]
Now [tex]w[/tex] is the angular velocity which is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 * \pi }{T}[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]a_{max} = [\frac{2 * \pi}{T} ]^2 * A[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]a_{max} = [\frac{2 * 3.142}{17} ]^2 * 0.018[/tex]
[tex]a_{max} = 0.00246 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Generally this test weight is mathematically represented as
[tex]W = k * A[/tex]
Where k is the spring constant
Therefore
[tex]k = \frac{W}{A}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]k = \frac{13}{0.018}[/tex]
[tex]k =722.2 \ N/m[/tex]
A 46-ton monolith is transported on a causeway that is 3500 feet long and has a slope of about 3.7. How much force parallel to the incline would be required to hold the monolith on this causeway?
Answer:
2.9tons
Explanation:
Note that On an incline of angle a from horizontal, the parallel and perpendicular components of a downward force F are:
parallel ("tangential"): F_t = F sin a
perpendicular ("normal"): F_n = F cos a
At a=3.7 degrees, sin a is about 0.064 and with F = 46tons:
F sin a ~~ (46 tons)*0.064 ~~ 2.9tons
Also see attached file
The required force parallel to the incline to hold the monolith on this causeway will be "2.9 tons".
Angle and ForceAccording to the question,
Angle, a = 3.7 degrees or,
Sin a = 0.064
Force, F = 46 tons
We know the relation,
Parallel (tangential), [tex]F_t[/tex] = F Sin a
By substituting the values,
= 46 × 0.064
= 2.9 tons

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The frequency for the first note is [tex]F_1 = 330 Hz[/tex]
The beat frequency of the first note is [tex]f_b = 5 \ Hz[/tex]
The frequency for the second note is [tex]F_2 = 350 \ H_z[/tex]
The beat frequency of the first note is [tex]f_a = 25 \ Hz[/tex]
Generally beat frequency is mathematically represented as

A 7.0-kg shell at rest explodes into two fragments, one with a mass of 2.0 kg and the other with a mass of 5.0 kg. If the heavier fragment gains 100 J of kinetic energy from the explosion, how much kinetic energy does the lighter one gain?
Answer:
39.94m/s.Explanation:
Kinetic energy is expressed as KE = 1/2 mv² where;
m is the mass of the body
v is the velocity of the body.
For the heavier shell;
m = 5kg
KE gained = 100J
Substituting this values into the formula above to get the velocity v;
100 = 1/2 * 5 * v²
5v² = 200
v² = 200/5
v² = 40
v = √40
v = 6.32 m/s
Note that after the explosion, both body fragments will possess the same velocity.
For the lighter shell;
mass = 2.0kg and v = 6.32m/s
KE of the lighter shell = 1/2 * 2 * 6.32²
KE of the lighter shell = 6.32²
KE of the lighter shell= 39.94m/s
Hence, the lighter one gains a kinetic energy of 39.94m/s.
The gain in the kinetic energy of the smaller fragment is 249.64 J.
The given parameters;
Mass of the shell, m = 7.0 kgMass of one fragment, m₁ = 2.0 kgMass of the second fragment, m₂ = 5.0 kgKinetic energy of heavier fragment, K.E₁ = 100 JThe velocity of the heavier fragment is calculated as follows;
[tex]K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E\\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v= \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 100}{5} }\\\\v = 6.32 \ m/s[/tex]
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the smaller fragment as;
[tex]m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = v(m_1 + m_2)\\\\-6.32(5) \ + 2u_2 = 0(7)\\\\-31.6 + 2u_2 = 0\\\\2u_2 = 31.6\\\\u_2 = \frac{31.6}{2} \\\\u_2 = 15.8 \ m/s[/tex]
The gain in the kinetic energy of the smaller fragment is calculated as follows;
[tex]K.E_2 = \frac{1}{2} mu_2^2\\\\K.E_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times (15.8)^2\\\\K.E_2 = 249.64 \ J[/tex]

Answer:
F= 3.56e22N
Explanation:
Using the force of radiation acting on the earth which is
force = radiation pressure x area = (intensity/c)xpi R^2
force = 1370W/m^2 x pi x( 6.37x10^6m)^2/3x10^8m/s
force = 5.82x10^8 N
But the sun's gravitational attraction means the magnitude of the solar gravitational force on earth: If that's the case, the answer is approx 10^22 N:
F=GMm/r^2
G=6.67x10^(-11)=6.67e-11
M=mass sun = 2x10^30kg=2e30
m=mass earth = 6x10^24kg
r=earth sun distance = 1.5x10^11m
F=(6.6e-11)(2e30)(6e24)/(1.5e11)^2 =

58.2 = λ N₀
similarly
41 = λ N
dividing
58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N
N = N₀ x .70446
formula of radioactive decay
[tex]N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }[/tex]
[tex].70446 =e^{-\lambda t }[/tex]
- λ t = ln .70446 = - .35
t = .35 / λ
λ = .693 / half life
= .693 / 5715
= .00012126
t = .35 / .00012126
= 2886.36
= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )
