I. The velocity of the wrench is equal and opposite to the velocity of the astronaut.
Il. The momentum of the wrench is equal and opposite to the momentum of the astronaut.
III. The impulse applied to the wrench is equal and opposite to the impulse applied to the astronaut
a) ll and ill only
b) I only II only
c) I, II, and III
d) I and Il only

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) ll and Ill only

Explanation:

Let the mass of the wrench = m

and the mass of the astronaut = M

Initially, the velocity of the astronaut and wrench are zero.

The astronaut throws the wrench in one direction and subsequently recoils back with a velocity in the opposite direction.

Let v and V be the velocity of the wrench and the velocity of the astronaut respectively.

In space, there is no external force acting, the momentum must be conserved.

So, m(0)+M(0)=m(v)+M(V)

So, 0=mv+MV

[tex]\Rightarrow mv=-MV[/tex] ...(i)

Here, the momentum of the wrench = mv, and the momentum of the astronaut= MV. The negative sign showing that both the momentum are in opposite direction.

Therefore, the momentum of the wrench is equal and opposite to the momentum of the astronaut.

According to Newton's second law, the rate of change of momentum = applied force.

Let it take [tex]\Delta t[/tex] seconds to change the momentum.

So, for the wrench

[tex]m(v-0)/\Delta t= F_w \\\\\Rightarrow m(v-0)=F_w\Delta t \\\\\Rightarrow mv=F_w\Delta t \cdots(ii)[/tex]

Here, [tex]F_w\Delta t[/tex] is the impulse applied to the wrench.

Similarly, for the astronaut

[tex]M(-V-0)/\Delta t= F_a[/tex] [negative sign (-V) for opposite direction]

[tex]\Rightarrow M(-V-0)=F_a\Delta t \\\\\Rightarrow -MV=F_a\Delta t[/tex]

Here, [tex]F_a\Delta t[/tex] is the impulse applied to the astronaut.

So, the impulse on the astronaut.

By using equations (i) and (ii)

[tex]F_a\Delta t=F_w\Delta t[/tex]

Therefore, the impulse applied to the wrench is equal and opposite to the impulse applied to the astronaut.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

The motion of a nightingale's wingtips can be modeled as simple harmonic motion. In one study, the tips of a bird's wings were found to move up and down with an amplitude of 8.0 cm and a period of 0.80 s.
Part A: What is the wingtips' maximum speed?
Part B: What is the wingtips' maximum acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

PART A: Maximum speed = 0.314 m/s

PART B: Maximum acceleration = 1.23 m/s²

Explanation:

A simple Harmonic motion is a repetitive motion through an equilibrium point.

Amplitude = 8.0cm = 8/100 = 0.08m (highest displacement)

period (T) = 0.80s

A) maximum speed [tex](V_{max)[/tex]

[tex]V_{max} = 2\pi fA\\where:\\A = Amplitude = 0.08m\\f = frequency = \frac{1}{period(T)} = \frac{1}{0.8} = 1.25 Hz\\\therefore 2\pi fA = 2\pi \times 1.25 \times 0.08\\= 0.314\ m/s[/tex]

B) maximum acceleration [tex](a_{max})[/tex]

[tex]a_{max} = (2\pi f)^2A\\where:\\f = 1.25Hz\\A = 0.08m\\a_{max} = (2\pi \times 1.25)^2 \times 0.08\\= 1.23\ m/s^2[/tex]

The index of refraction of quartz is anisotropic. Suppose that visible light is passing from one grain to another of different crystallographic orientation and at normal incidence to the grain boundary. Calculate the reflectivity at the boundary if the indices of refraction for the two grains are 1.545 and 1.555 in the direction of light propagation. Enter your answer in accordance to the question statement

Answers

Answer:

1.04*10⁻⁵

Explanation:

light wave do showcase some behaviors whenever there is encounters with the end of the medium, some of the behaviors are - reflection, refraction, as well as diffraction. When visible light wave strikes a boundary that exist two different media, a portion of the energy will be transmitted into the new medium and some reflected.

Reflection of a light wave can be regarded as bouncing off of light wave from boundary. refraction on other hand is bending of the path of a light wave.

We were to calculate the reflectivity at the boundary,

reflectivity at the boundary can be calculated using the expression below

Reflectivity= (n₂ - n₁)² /(n₂ + n₁ ) ²

where

n₁= Indices of refraction at first grain= 1.545

n₂= Indices of refraction at second grain=

1.555

(1.555 - 1.545)² / (1.555 - 1.545)²

=(0.01)²/ (3.1)²

= 0.0001/ 9.61

= 1.04*10⁻⁵

Hence, the reflectivity at the boundary if the indices of refraction for the two grains are 1.545 and 1.555 in the direction of light propagation is 1.04*10⁻⁵

A storm front moves in and Rachel and Pam notice the column of mercury in the barometer rises only to 736 mm. Assume the density of mercury is 13, 000 kg/m 3
(a) What is the change in air pressure?
(b) What if their barometer was filled with water instead of mercury, how high does the column rise? Density of water = 1000 kg/m

Answers

Answer:

a

 [tex]\Delta P = 7558.6 \ Pa[/tex]

b

 [tex]h_1 = 10 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The position of the column of mercury in the barometer is  [tex]h = 736 \ mm = 0.76 \ m[/tex]\

   The density of mercury is  [tex]\rho = 13,000 \ kg / m^3[/tex]

Generally the  pressure of the atmosphere at that column is mathematically represented as  

         [tex]P = \rho * g * h[/tex]

=>      [tex]P =13 000 * 9.8 * 0.736[/tex]

=>      [tex]P = 93766.4 \ Pa[/tex]

Generally the atmospheric pressure at sea level (Generally the pressure before the change in level of the mercury column)  is  [tex]P_a = 101325 \ Pa[/tex]

Generally the change in air pressure  is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\Delta P = P_a - P[/tex]

=>   [tex]\Delta P = 101325 - 93766.4[/tex]

=>   [tex]\Delta P = 7558.6 \ Pa[/tex]

Generally the height which the column will rise to is mathematically evaluated as  

         [tex]h_1 = \frac{P}{ \rho_w * g }[/tex]

Here [tex]\rho_w[/tex] is the density of water with value  [tex]\rho_w = 1000 \ kg/m^3[/tex]

So

       [tex]h_1 = \frac{ 93766.4}{ 1000 * 9.8 }[/tex]

=>   [tex]h_1 = 10 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

A 100 kg gymnast comes to a stop after tumbling. Her feet do 5,000 J of work to stop her. The girl's velocity when she began to stop is 10 m/sec.

What is velocity?

When an item is moving, its velocity is the rate at which its direction is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time. Velocity is vector quantity.

Uniform motion an object is said to have uniform motion when object cover equal distance in equal interval of time within exact fixed direction. For a body in uniform motion, the magnitude of its velocity remains constant over time. Here in the question velocity is changing by using work energy theorem we have,

work done = change in kinetic energy

5000 = (.5).m.v² , where v is velocity.

5000 = (.5).100.v²

v = 10 m/sec

The voltage between two points in a circuit is 3.6 V. If the resistance between
the points is 75 , what is the current, according to Ohm's law?
A. 76.6 A
B. 0.048 A
C. 20.8 A
D. 270 A

Correct answer is B!

Answers

Considering the Ohm's law, the correct answer is option B. the current is 0.048 A.

Definition of current

The flow of electricity through an object, such as a wire, is known as current (I). Its unit of measure is amps (A). So the current is a measure of the speed at which the charge passes a given reference point in a specified direction.

Definition of voltage

The driving force (electrical pressure) behind the flow of a current is known as voltage and is measured in volts (V) (voltage can also be referred to as the potential difference or electromotive force). That is, voltage is a measure of the work required to move a charge from one point to another.

Definition of resistance

Resistance (R) is the difficulty that a circuit opposes to the flow of a current and it is measured in ohms (Ω).

Ohm's law

Ohm's law establishes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

This law establishes that the intensity of the current that passes through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the same and inversely proportional to the resistance that it presents.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is expressed as:

[tex]I=\frac{V}{R}[/tex]

Where I is the current measured in amps (A), V the voltage measured in volts (V); and R the resistance that is measured in ohms (Ω).

This case

In this case, you know that the voltage between two points in a circuit is 3.6 V and the resistance between the points is 75 Ω.

Replacing in the Ohm's Law:

[tex]I=\frac{3.6 volts}{75 ohm}[/tex]

Solving:

I= 0.048 amps

Finally, the correct answer is option B. the current is 0.048 A.

A small mass m traveling at speed v collides with and attaches to the stick at a distance 2L/3 away from the end through which it is pinned to the surface. (a) Find an expression for the moment of inertia of the stick mass object after the collision. (b) Find an expression for the final angular speed of the combined object

Answers

Answer:

a)  I = ([tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4m}{9}[/tex]) L²  ,   b)     w = (\frac{27 M}{18 m} + 2)⁻¹  Lv₀

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia is a scalar that represents the inertia in circular motion, therefore it is an additive quantity.

The moment of inertia of a rod held at one end is

         I₁ = 1/3 M L²

The moment of inertia of the mass at y = L

        I₂ = m y²

 

The total inertia method

        I = I₁ + I₂

        I = \frac{1}{3} M L² + m (\frac{2}{3} L)²

        I = ([tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{4m}{9}[/tex] ) L²

   

b) The conservation of angular momentum, where the system is formed by the masses and the bar, in such a way that all the forces during the collision are internal.    

Initial instant. Before the crash  

       L₀ = I₂ w₀  

angular and linear velocity are related  

       w₀ = y v₀  

      w₀ = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]L v₀  

      L₀ = I₂ y v₀  

Final moment. After the crash  

      [tex]L_{f}[/tex] = I w

 

how angular momentum is conserved  

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I₂ y v₀ = I w

substitute

      m ([tex]\frac{2L}{3}[/tex])² (\frac{2L}{3} v₀ =  ([tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{4m}{9}[/tex] ) L²  w

      [tex]\frac{6}{27}[/tex]  m L³ v₀ = ([tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{4m}{9}[/tex] ) L²  w

        [tex]\frac{6}{27}[/tex]  m L v₀ = ([tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{4m}{9}[/tex] )   w

        L v₀ = [tex](\frac{27 M}{18 m} + 2)[/tex]  w     

       w = (\frac{27 M}{18 m} + 2)⁻¹  Lv₀
