A stone sphere of radius 7.00 m rests in a flat field. Relative to the ground, what is the gravitational potential energy of a 90.0-kg person sitting on the very top of the sphere?
a. 7.76 x 104 J
b. 1.23 x 104 J
c. 3.88 x 104 J

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(B)  1.23 x 10 J

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the sphere, r = 7.0 m

diameter of the sphere, d = 2r = 14.0 m

mass of the person sitting on the sphere, m = 90.0 kg

The gravitational potential energy of the person is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is the height above the ground level = d = 14.0 m

P.E = mgh

P.E = (90)(9.8)(14)

P.E = 12348 J

P.E = 1.2348 x 10 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the person is 1.2348 x 10 J

Microwave signals are beamed between two mountaintops 52 km apart. How long does it take a signal to travel from one mountaintop to the other?
Express your answer in ms and using two significant figures.
t = ________ms

Answers

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

1)

Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

        [tex]v = \lambda * f (1)[/tex]

Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

       [tex]f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)[/tex]

⇒     f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

2)

Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       [tex]v =\frac{d}{t} (3)[/tex]

       where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

       d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

Solving for t, we get:

       [tex]t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)[/tex]

       ⇒  t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)

The achilles tendon is subjected to a large tension stress that results in a strain of 6%. if the unloaded tendon is 10 cm long, how much does it elongate as a result of this strain?

The answer is .6cm I need to understand the work to get here.

Answers

Answer: 0.6cm

Explanation:

Strain is defined as  how much an object can be stretched or deformed  when force is applied to it .  it measures the  fractional change of the object’s length when the object faces  tensional stress. It is calculated  by using the formulae

Strain =  ΔL/ L

where strain = 6%

L= Original length

ΔL= change in length

 6% = ΔL/ 10 cm

ΔL= 10cm X 0.06

ΔL=0.6cm

A rotating wheel requires 8.00 s to rotate 27.0 revolutions. Its angular velocity at the end of the 8.00-s interval is 99.0 rad/s. What is the constant angular acceleration (in rad/s) of the wheel?

Answers

Answer:

∝ = 28.92 rad/s²

Explanation:

Applying third equation of motion to the angular motion, we have:

2∝θ = ωf² - ωi²

where,

∝ = angular acceleration = ?

θ = angular displacement = (27 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 169.64 rad/s

ωf = final angular velocity = 99 rad/s

ωi = initial angular velocity = 0 rad/s

Therefore,

(2)∝(169.64 rad) = (99 rad/s)² - (0 rad/s²)

∝ = (9801 rad²/s²)/(38.8 rad)

∝ = 28.92 rad/s²

Answers

Answer:

velocity = 44.98 m/s

Explanation:

given data

velocity = 45.0 m/s

angle = 30.0 degrees

solution

first we get here time that is

time = 2u × sin θ ÷ g   .............1

time = 2×45 × sin 30 ÷ 9.8

time = 4.59 sec

and

velocity = [tex]\sqrt{vx^2+vy^2}[/tex]   .....................2

here

vx = 45 cos30 = 38.97 m/s

vy = uy - gt

vy = 45 sin30 - 9.8 ×  4.59  = -22.48 m/s

so velocity will be

velocity = [tex]\sqrt{38.97^2+22.48^2}[/tex]

velocity = 44.98 m/s

My solar system has two types of planets: terrestrials and jovians. The solar nebula hypothesis offers what explanation for the different compositions of these two types of planets? A. The large gravitational forces of Jupiter tended to prevent planet formation in the inner solar system and eventually attracted most of the material into the region of the Jovian planets. B. During condensation, the heavier elements tended to sink nearer the Sun and, being rare, only provided enough material to build the relatively small terrestrial planets. C. The terrestrial planets were formed near the Sun where, because of the high temperatures, only heavier elements were able to condense. D. During the collapse of the gaseous nebula, most of the material tended to collect far from the Sun because of the large centrifugal forces, which provided the necessary material to build the large Jovian planets.

Answers

Answer:

B. During condensation, the heavier elements tended to sink nearer the Sun and, being rare, only provided enough material to build the relatively small terrestrial planets.

D. During the collapse of the gaseous nebula, most of the material tended to collect far from the Sun because of the large centrifugal forces, which provided the necessary material to build the large Jovian planets.

Explanation:

The solar nebular hypothesis is the theory of how the earth came to be as proposed and believed by most scientists. It states that the solar system was formed from a nebular which is a large collection of dust. As the condensation of the nebular progressed, the heavier materials which could withstand higher temperatures formed closer to the sun. Because these materials were not so much the planets formed by them were not large in size.

However, the Jovian planets formed beyond the frost line which could sustain icy compounds. The ices that formed these planets were much thus accounting for their larger sizes. Solar winds blew off the lighter hydrogen and helium elements leading to their accumulation far away from the sun.

In a two-slit experiment using coherent light, the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.10 m, and the distance between the slits is 0.0400 mm. If the second order bright fringe is measured to be 4.20 cm from the centerline on the screen, what is the wavelength of light?
A) 620 nm
B) 200 nm
C) 401 nm
D) 763 nm
E) 381 nm

Answers

Answer:

D) 763 nm

Explanation:

Calculation for the wavelength of light

Using this formula

Wavelength of light=Delta Y*Distance / Length

Where,

Delta Y represent the 2nd order bright fringe

Length represent the distance between both the slits and the screen

Distance represent the Distance between the slits

Let note that cm to m = (4.2) x 10^-2 and mm to m= ( 0.0400x 10^-3)

Now Let plug in the formula

Wavelength of light=[(4.2 x 10^-2m)(0.0400 x 10^-3m) / 2(1.1m)]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light=[(0.042m) (0.0004m)/2.2m]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =(0.0000168m/2.2m)*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =7.63 *10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =763 nm

Therefore the Wavelength of light will be 763 nm

A skateboarder is moving at 2.00m/s and increases his velcity at a rate of 1.6m/s/s for 6.0 seconds. What is the displacement of the skateboarder during this game? Must include Given, Find , and Equation. Show all work .

Answers

Answer:

S = 40.8m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 2m/s

Acceleration, a = 1.6m/s²

Time, t = 6secs

Required to find the displacement

Displacement, S = ?

The displacement of an object is given by the second equation of motion;

[tex] S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

Where;

S represents the displacement measured in meters. u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds. t represents the time measured in seconds. a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] S = 2*6 + \frac {1}{2}*(1.6)*6^{2}[/tex]

[tex] S = 12 + 0.8*36[/tex]

[tex] S = 12 + 28.8 [/tex]

S = 40.8m

Therefore, the displacement of the skateboarder during this game is 40.8 meters.

How much force is required to launch a 1 kg pumpkin 10 meters away from 5 meters off the
ground at a launch angle of zero degrees if it takes the catapult 0.1 seconds to fully launch the
pumpkin?

Answers

Answer:

F= 99 N

Explanation:

Dynamics and Kinematics

This problem is a combination of dynamics and kinematics because we need formulas and concepts of both branches of physics to solve it.

We need to calculate the force required to launch horizontally a pumpkin of m=1 Kg a distance of d=10 m away from a height of h=5 m.

Since the force is:

F = m.a

We need to calculate the acceleration required to move the pumpkin from rest (vo=0) to the launching speed (vf) in a time t=0.1 seconds.

The acceleration can be calculated by using the kinematic equation:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}[/tex]

The final launching speed vf can be calculated knowing the height and maximum horizontal distance reached by the pumpkin.

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed vf from a height h, the range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle d=v_f\cdot\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}[/tex]

Solving for vf:

[tex]\displaystyle v_f=d\cdot\sqrt{\frac {g}{2h}}[/tex]

Substituting:

[tex]\displaystyle v_f=10\cdot\sqrt{\frac {9.8}{2\cdot 5}}[/tex]

Calculating:

[tex]v_f=9.9\ m/s[/tex]

Now we calculate the acceleration:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{9.9-0}{0.1}[/tex]

[tex]a= 99\ m/s^2[/tex]

Thus, the force required is:

[tex]F=1\ Kg\cdot 99\ m/s^2[/tex]

F= 99 N

In a binary star system, the average separation between the stars is 5.0 AU, and their orbital period is 5.0 years. What is the sum of their two masses?The average distance of Star A from the center of mass is four times that of Star B. What are their individual masses?

Answers

Answer:

A. 5.03 solar mass.

B. the masses of Star A and B are 1.01 solar mass and 4.02 solar mass respectively.

Explanation:

A. The sum of their two masses can be found using Kepler's third law:

[tex]\frac{P^{2}}{a^{3}} = \frac{4\pi^{2}}{G(m_{A} + m_{B})}[/tex]

Where:

P: is the period = 5 y = 1.58x10⁸ s

a: is the separation between the stars = 5 AU = 7.5x10¹¹ m

G: is the gravitational constant = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹s⁻²

[tex]m_{A}[/tex] and [tex]m_{B}[/tex] are the masses of Star A and Star B respectively.    

[tex]m_{A} + m_{B} = \frac{4\pi^{2}a^{3}}{P^{2}G} = \frac{4\pi^{2}(5 AU*\frac{1.5\cdot 10^{11} m}{1 AU})^{3}}{(1.58 \cdot 10^{8} s)^{2}6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^{3}*kg^{-1}*s^{-2}} = 1.00 \cdot 10^{31} kg*\frac{1 M_{\bigodot}}{1.989\cdot 10^{30} kg} = 5.03 M_{\bigodot}[/tex]    

Hence, the sum of their two masses is 5.03 solar mass.  

B. Their individual masses can be found using the center of the mass equation:

[tex] a_{B} = (\frac{m_{A}}{m_{A} + m_{B}})a [/tex]

Where:

[tex]a_{B}[/tex] is the distance of Star B from the center of the mass

Since, [tex]a_{A}[/tex] is four times [tex]a_{B}[/tex] and a = 5 AU we have:

[tex] a_{A} = 4a_{B} [/tex]

[tex] a = a_{A} + a_{B} [/tex]

[tex] a_{B} = a - a_{A} = a - 4a_{B} \rightarrow a_{B} = \frac{a}{5} [/tex]      

Then, their individual masses are:

[tex]\frac{a}{5} = (\frac{m_{A}}{5.03 M_{\bigodot}})a[/tex]  

[tex]m_{A} = \frac{5.03 M_{\bigodot}}{5} = 1.01 M_{\bigodot}[/tex]

Now, the mass of Star B is:

[tex]m_{B} = m_{T} - m_{A} = 5.03 M_{\bigodot} - 1.01 M_{\bigodot} = 4.02 M_{\bigodot}[/tex]

Therefore, the masses of Star A and B are [tex]1.01 M_{\bigodot}[/tex] and [tex]4.02 M_{\bigodot}[/tex] respectively.

I hope it helps you!                              

A basketball has a coefficient of restitution of 0.821 in collisions with the wood floor of a basketball court. The ball is dropped on such a floor from a height of 2.07 m . How high is its fourth bounce?

Answers

Answer: The height of its fourth bounce = 0.43m

Explanation:

The coefficient of restitution denoted by (e), is the ratio that shows the  final velocity to initial relative velocity between two objects after collision

IT is given by the formula in terms of height as

Coefficient of Restitution, e  = √(2gh))/√(2gH) = √(h/H)

Where

Coefficient of Restitution, e= 0.821

H = 2.07 m

At fourth bounce ,   we have that

Coefficient of Restitution, e⁴  =√(h₄/H)  

Putting the given values and solving , we have,

e⁴  =√(h₄/H)  

= 0.821⁴ = √(h₄/2.07)

 (0.821⁴ )² =h₄/2.07

0.2064 x 2.07 = 0.427 = 0.43

At  fourth bounce,  h₄ height = 0.43m
