A 500 kg cannon exerts a force of 600 N on a 10 kg cannon ball. Find (a) the acceleration of the cannon and (b) the acceleration of the cannon ball.

Answers

Answer 1

A 500 kg cannon exerts 600 N force on 10 kg cannon ball

Now here we can say that as per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction force

So here when cannon exert a force of 600 N on the ball then equal and opposite magnitude force will act on cannon itself

Part a)

Okay now we will find the acceleration of cannon using the same force

so as per Newton's formula

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

[tex]600 = 500 * a[/tex]

[tex]a = 1.2 m/s^2[/tex]

Part b)

Okay now we will find the acceleration of cannon ball using the given force

so as per Newton's formula

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

[tex]600 = 10 * a[/tex]

[tex]a = 60 m/s^2[/tex]

While running around the track at school, Milt notices that he runs due East in the 100m homestretch and due West on the 100m backstretch. To train for the 800 m event, he runs both the 100 m homestretch and the 100m backstretch in 12.2 seconds. How do Mills velocities on the homestretch and backstretch compare

Answers

They have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.

Answer:

The magnitude of both velocities will be same but direction will be opposite.

Explanation:

Distance on Homestretch = d1 = 100 m

Distance on backstretch = d2 = 100 m

Time = t = 12.2 s

Magnitude of velocity on Homestretch = V1 = d1/t = 100/12.2 = 8.196 m/s

Magnitude of velocity on backstretch = V2 = d2/t = 100/12.2 = 8.196 m/s  

if we look at the racecourse, we will come to know that runner runs on homestretch and backstretch in opposite direction. Hence, magnitude of velocities will be same but direction will be opposite.  

Constants Modern wind turbines are larger than they appear, and despite their apparently lazy motion, the speed of the blades tips can be quite high-many times higher than the wind speed. A turbine has blades 58 m long that spin at 14 rpm . At the tip of a blade, what is the centripetal acceleration?

Answers

It is given that the length of blade of the turbine is 58 m.

During the motion, the turbine will undergo rotational motion. Hence the radius of the circle traced by the turbine is equal to the length of the blade.

Hence radius r = 58 m.

The frequency of the turbine [f] =14 rpm.

Here rpm stands for rotation per minute.

Hence the frequency of the turbine in one second-

                                                      [tex]f=\frac{14}{60}\ s^-1[/tex]

                                                      [tex]f=0.23333 Hz[/tex]

Here Hz[ hertz] is the unit of frequency.

The angular velocity of the turbine [tex]\omega =2\pi f[/tex]

                                                          [tex]\omega=2*3.14*0.2333[/tex]

                                                          [tex]\omega=1.465124[/tex] radian/second

Now we have to calculate the centripetal  acceleration of the blade.

Let the linear velocity of the blade is v.

we know that  linear velocity v=ωr

The centripetal acceleration is calculated as-

                                                                      [tex]a_{c} =\frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

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

                                                                            [tex]=\omega^2r[/tex]

                                                                            [tex]=[1.465124]^2 *58[/tex]

                                                                            [tex]=124.5021234 m/s^2[/tex]      [ans]

Centripetal acceleration depends on the rotational speed of object. The required value of the centripetal acceleration of the wind turbine blade is [tex]125.33 \;\rm rad/s^{2}[/tex].

What is centripetal acceleration?

The magnitude of acceleration possessed by any object with rotational motion, such that the direction of acceleration is towards the center, then such acceleration is called centripetal acceleration.

Given data-

The length of the turbine blade is, r = 58 m.

The angular speed of blade is, N = 14 rpm.

Convert the angular speed into rad/s as,

[tex]\omega = \dfrac{2 \pi N}{60}\\\\\\\omega = \dfrac{2 \pi \times 14}{60}\\\\\omega =1.47 rad/s[/tex]

And the expression for the angular acceleration is given as,

[tex]\alpha = \omega^{2} \times r[/tex]

Solving as,

[tex]\alpha = 1.47^{2} \times 58\\\\\alpha =125.33 \;\rm rad/s^{2}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the required value of the centripetal acceleration of wind turbine blade is [tex]125.33 \;\rm rad/s^{2}[/tex].

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "42.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of 42.0 N without breaking. What is the weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in (a) at constant speed and (b) with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s2?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 42 N

(b)36.7 N

Explanation:

Nomenclature

F= force test line (N)

W : fish weight  (N)

Problem development

(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed

We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:

∑Fy =0

F-W= 0

42N -W =0  

W = 42N

(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²

We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:

 m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

∑Fy =m*a

m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a

42-W=  ( W/9.8 )*1.41

42= W+0.1439W

42=1.1439W

W= 42/1.1439

W= 36.7  N

Final answer:

When the fishing line is reeled in at constant speed, it can support a fish with a weight of 42.0 N. But when there's an upward acceleration of 1.41 m/s², the line can only support a fish with a weight of about 33.7 N.

Explanation:

The subject in question here relates to the physics topic of forces, specifically concerning gravitational pull and tension. Now, let's address the two cases.

(a) When the fisherman reels in the line at a constant speed, there is no acceleration. Therefore, the tension in the line equals the weight of the fish. If the line can withstand a force of 42.0 N, the maximum weight of a fish that the line can support is the same—42.0 N (remember that weight is a force measured in Newtons [N]).

(b) If the fisherman is reeling in the line with an upward acceleration of 1.41 m/s2, the tension in the line will be the weight of the fish (m*g, where m is the mass of the fish and g is the gravity 9.8 m/s2) plus the result of the mass and acceleration of the fish (m*a). So, the tension T can be expressed as:

T = m*g + m*a

Since the maximum tension that the line can withstand is 42.0 N, we can determine the maximum mass fish that can be caught. Let's let the maximum mass be 'M'.

Therefore:

42.0 N = M * 9.8 m/s2 + M * 1.41 m/s2

After calculating this, you'll find that M ≈ 3.44 kg. However, we require the weight, which can be calculated by multiplying the mass by gravitational pull - hence, ≈ 3.44 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = ≈ 33.7 N.

In conclusion, under constant speed, the fisherman can pull up a fish of approximately 42.0 N, but when accelerating, the bridge fishing line can only support a fish of about 33.7 N without breaking.

Which scientist first discovered the white light is a mixture of a rainbow spectrum of light rays

Answers

Issac Newton

In the 17th century, Isaac Newton discovered that prisms could disassemble and reassemble white light, and described the phenomenon in his book Opticks. He was the first to use the word spectrum (Latin for "appearance" or "apparition") in this sense in print in 1671 in describing his experiments in optics.

Final answer:

Isaac Newton first discovered that white light is actually a mixture of different colored light rays, together forming the visible spectrum of a rainbow. therefore, option c is correct

Explanation:

The scientist who first discovered that white light is a mixture of a rainbow spectrum of light rays is Isaac Newton. In the seventeenth century, Newton performed experiments with lenses and prisms and was able to demonstrate that white light consists of the individual colors of the rainbow combined together. He conducted an experiment in which he allowed sunlight to pass through a small hole and then through a prism. Newton found that sunlight, which looks white to our eyes, is actually made up of a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow.

Newton explained his optics findings in terms of a "corpuscular" view of light, in which light was composed of streams of extremely tiny particles traveling at high speeds according to Newton's laws of motion. This view was later complemented by the wave theory of light when Thomas Young demonstrated the interference patterns, reconciling the particle and wave models of light into a more comprehensive dual theory known as the wave-particle duality.

A car has a mass of 900 kg and a truck has a mass of 1800 kg. In which of the following situations would they have the same momentum?


The car travels at twice the velocity of the truck.

The car and truck travel at the same velocity.

The truck has a negative acceleration.

The car has a positive acceleration.

Answers

a) since force = mass * acceleration  

f= 900 * 0 (because constant speed = 0 acceleration)  

similarly b) f = 0

Answer:

The car travels at twice the velocity of the truck.

Explanation:

As we know that momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity

so here we know

mass of the car = 900 kg

mass of the truck = 1800 kg

now let say that the speed of car = [tex]v_1[/tex]

speed of truck = [tex]v_2[/tex]

so if the momentum of car and truck is same

[tex]900 v_1 = 1800 v_2[/tex]

[tex]v_1 = 2 v_2[/tex]

so we can say that car will move with double the speed of truck

identify a coordinate system you could use to describe the motion of a girl swimming across a rectangular pool

Answers

If we imagine the rectangular pool to have a length L and a breadth b, the attached figure shows one of the several possible coordinate systems that can be used to locate the position of the girl at any point of time, thus enabling us to describe her motion.

Final answer:

A suitable coordinate system to describe a girl swimming across a rectangular pool is to use the long side as the x-axis and the short side as the y-axis. One can treat the swimmer's path as two-dimensional motion, analyzing her velocities in both x and y directions separately to predict her speed and swimming time.

Explanation:

To describe the motion of a girl swimming across a rectangular pool, we could set up a coordinate system by choosing the long side of the pool as the x-axis and the short side as the y-axis, with the origin (0,0) placed at one corner of the pool. If we observe the motion from above, we can treat the swimmer's path as two-dimensional motion.

In our coordinate system, the swimmer's position (x,y) changes over time as she swims across the pool. Since the pool is a controlled environment with no external forces like wind or currents, we can assume there's no acceleration in the horizontal x-direction (ax = 0). The swimmer might push off from one side of the pool to begin moving, in which case her initial horizontal velocity (Vx) could be constant throughout her swim if she maintains a steady pace.

To analyze the swimmer's motion, we would separately consider her velocity in the x-direction (Vx = v cos θ) and y-direction (Uy = v sin θ), where v is the magnitude of her velocity and θ is its direction relative to the x-axis. By mapping her position over time, we could use kinematic equations to predict her motion, such as her speed and the time taken to swim across the pool.

Sarah wanted to know the velocity of an airplane traveling from Houston to Dallas. After recording the distance (in miles) and time (in hours) it took to travel to Dallas, what other measurement does Sarah need to determine the airplanes velocity?
A) acceleration
B) direction
C) force
D) inertia

Answers

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

 Velocity of a body = Displacement of the body/Time taken

Displacement and velocity are a vector. Both have direction and magnitude.

Displacement is generally distance with direction.

If we divide distance with time taken we will get speed of the airplane. Speed with direction is called velocity. So we need distance between Houston and Dallas, time taken by plane to travel from Houston to Dallas and direction of displacement from Houston to Dallas.

So we need direction.

Option B is the correct answer.

Answers

[1] When any body falls under gravity,the body will move in vertical downward direction towards the centre of earth under a constant acceleration called acceleration due to gravity .As per the question, the rock falls to earth.

Hence,the correct option to it is A] It accelerates as it falls.

7] When a body moves with constant speed in a circular path,it's direction changes continuously which leads to an acceleration.

Hence the correct answer to the question is C) A car driving straight along a highway at a constant speed.

8] Speed is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude while velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction for its specification.

Hence,the correct answer to this question is C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

9]A unit of length in the metric system will be metre or its multiples.

Hence,the correct answer to the question is B) kilometer.

10] A car taking a round curve will experience an acceleration called centripetal acceleration which is required to keep the car along the circular curve.

Hence,the correct answer to the question is B) a car that rounds a curve at a constant speed

11]The initial velocity of car is u =0

   The final velocity of car is v= 20 m/s

   The time taken t= 3.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that-

                                          v=u+at

                                         20=0×t+3.5a

                                          [tex]a=\frac{20}{3.5} m/s^2[/tex]

                                           [tex]a=5.71 m/s^2[/tex]

Hence,the correct answer to the question is B] 5.7.

12] Any body under free fall accelerates with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence,the correct answer to the question is C) gradually more in each picture.

13] Milt moves 100 m homestretch due east and 100 m backstretch due west.

The time taken by him is 12.2 seconds. The homestretch average velocity and backstretch average velocity are anti parallel to each other as they opposite in direction.

Hence the correct answer to the question will be the homestretch and backstretch have velocities with the same in their magnitude.

14]The distance given here is constant for each lap i.e 400 m.

It has been told that he is taking 5 seconds less in each lap.

We know that average speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken.As time is decreasing in each lap,so its average speed will be more for each lap.

Hence the correct answer to the question is C] increases and inversely.

The difference between speed and velocity is that

A) speed is a vector and requires a direction.  

B) speed is a vector and requires a magnitude.  

C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

D) velocity is a vector and requires a magnitude.

I should feel exceedingly diffident to appear before you wholly unused as I am to public speaking, were I not nerved by a sense of right and dutydid I not feel that the time had fully come for the question of woman's wrongs to be laid before the publicdid I not believe that woman herself must do this workfor woman alone can understand the height and the depth, the length and the breadth of her own degradation and woe.
