Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The equation is [tex](m_{b}+m_{c} )u_{b} = (m_{y}+m_{c} )v_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )v_{b}[/tex]

b) Your velocity after collision is 2.64 m/s

c) The force you felt is 7392 N

d) you and your brother undergo an equal amount of acceleration

Explanation:

Your mass [tex]m_{y}[/tex] = 60 kg

your brother's mass [tex]m_{b}[/tex] = 30 kg

mass of the car [tex]m_{c}[/tex] = 80 kg

your initial speed [tex]u_{y}[/tex] = 0 m/s (since you've not started moving yet)

your brother's initial velocity [tex]u_{b}[/tex] = 3 m/s

your final speed [tex]v_{y}[/tex] after collision = ?

your brother's final speed [tex]v_{b}[/tex] after collision = ?

a) equations you need to use to figure out how fast you and your brother are moving after the collision is

[tex](m_{y}+m_{c} )u_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )u_{b} = (m_{y}+m_{c} )v_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )v_{b}[/tex]

but [tex]u_{y}[/tex] = 0 m/s

the equation reduces to

[tex](m_{b}+m_{c} )u_{b} = (m_{y}+m_{c} )v_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )v_{b}[/tex]

b) if your little brother reverses with velocity of 0.36 m/s it means

[tex]v_{b}[/tex] = -0.36 m/s (the reverse means it travels in the opposite direction)

then, imputing values into the equation, we'll have

[tex](m_{b}+m_{c} )u_{b} = (m_{y}+m_{c} )v_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )v_{b}[/tex]

(30 + 80)3 = (60 + 80)[tex]v_{y}[/tex] + (30 + 80)(-0.36)

330 = 140[tex]v_{y}[/tex] - 39.6

369.6 = 140[tex]v_{y}[/tex]

[tex]v_{y}[/tex] = 369.6/140 = 2.64 m/s

This means you will also reverse with a velocity of 2.64 m/s

c) your initial momentum = 0  since you started from rest

your final momentum = (total mass) x (final velocity)

==>  (60 + 80) x 2.64 = 369.6 kg-m/s

If the collision lasted for 0.05 s,

then force exerted on you = (change in momentum) ÷ (time collision lasted)

force on you = ( 369.6 - 0) ÷ 0.05 = 7392 N

d) you changed velocity from 0 m/s to 2.64 m/s in 0.05 s

your acceleration is (2.64 - 0)/0.05 = 52.8 m/s^2

your brother changed velocity from 3 m/s to 0.36 m/s in 0.05 s

his deceleration is (3 - 0.36)/0.05 = 52.8 m/s

you and your brother undergo an equal amount of acceleration. This is because you gained the momentum your brother lost

Answers

Answer:

If the magnitude of the field is decreasing with time the direction of the induced magnetic field is CLOCKWISE

Explanation

This is because If the magnetic field decreases with time, the electric field will be produced in order to oppose the change in line with lenz law. Thus The right hand rule can be applied to find that the direction of electric field is in the clockwise direction.

A record player rotates a record at 45 revolutions per minute. When the record player is switched off, it makes 4.0 complete turns at a constant angular acceleration before coming to rest. What was the magnitude of the angular acceleration (in rads/s2) of the record as it slowed down

Answers

Answer:

The  angular acceleration is [tex]\alpha = 0.4418 \ rad /s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  angular speed is [tex]w_f = 45 \ rev / minutes = \frac{45 * 2 * \pi }{60 }= 4.713 \ rad/s[/tex]

       The  angular displacement is  [tex]\theta =4 \ rev = 4 * 2 * \pi = 25.14 \ rad[/tex]

From the first equation of motion we can define the movement of the record as

      [tex]w_f ^2 = w_o ^2 + 2 * \alpha * \theta[/tex]

Given that the record started from rest [tex]w_o = 0[/tex]

So

       [tex]4.713^2 = 2 * \alpha * 25.14[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 0.4418 \ rad /s^2[/tex]

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

Answers

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]

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?

Answers

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

In your own words, discuss how energy conservation applies to a pendulum. Where is the potential energy the most? Where is the potential energy the least? Where is kinetic energy the most? Where is kinetic energy the least?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy conservation applies to the swinging of pendulum . When the bob is at one extreme , it is at some height from its lowest point . So it has some gravitational potential energy . At that time since it remains at rest its kinetic energy is zero or the least . As it goes down while swinging , its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases following conservation of mechanical energy . At the At the lowest point , its potential energy is least  and kinetic energy is maximum .

In this way , there is conservation of mechanical energy .

Answer:

a

 [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?

Answers

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 Force

According 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

Thus the response above is appropriate answer.
