A pendulum on Earth has a period of 1.2 seconds. The same pendulum on Mercury (dark side) has a period of 1.95 seconds. What is the free-fall acceleration of Mercury (in m/s^2)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]g'=3.71\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Time period of a pendulum on the earth's surface, T₁ = 1.2 s

Time period of the same pendulum on Mercury, T₂ = 1.95 s

The time period of the pendulum is given by :

[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}[/tex]

On earth :

[tex]T_1=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}[/tex]

[tex]1.2=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{9.8}}[/tex].............(1)

Let g' is the acceleration due to gravity on Mercury. So,

[tex]1.95=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g'}}[/tex]............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

[tex]\dfrac{1.2}{1.95}=\sqrt{\dfrac{g'}{9.8}}[/tex]

[tex]g'=(\dfrac{1.2}{1.95})^2\times 9.8[/tex]

[tex]g'=3.71\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration due to gravity on the mercury is [tex]3.71\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.

A) Is it possible to say that a wave pulse( waves packet) has one particular wavelength? B) How are wave packets built (mathematically speaking)?

Answers

Answer: A) we can write a wave packet like Y = ∑aₙ*cos(w*n*t)

So you have lots of different wavelengths here, and you think that a wave packet has a unified frequency, but not wavelength.

B) mathematically speaking you will write a wave packet like i did up there, has a sum of many waves, where for each one you can have an intensity aₙ and a different frequency, the only thing you must see is that all the waves you are suming are moving in the same direction.

A speed trap is set up with two pressure-activated
stripsplaced across a highway, 110 m apart. A car is speeding
alongat 33m/s, while the speed limit is 21 m/s. At the instant
thecar activates the first strip, the driver begins slowingdown.
What minimum deceleration is needed in order that theaverage speed
is within the limit by the time the car crosses thesecond
marker?

Answers

Final answer:

The question is asking to calculate the required minimum deceleration of a speeding car to fit the speed limit when it crosses the end of a measured stretch of the road. The deceleration required can be calculated using the motion equations of physics by first calculating the time it takes to travel the distance between the two strips and then using this time to calculate the required deceleration.

Explanation:

The subject area of this question is kinematics, which is a branch of physics that deals with the concepts of distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. The problem is asking for the minimum deceleration the car needs to have in order to not exceed the speed limit when it reaches the second strip. To solve this, you would use the equation v = v0 + at, where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, a is acceleration (in this case deceleration, so it will be negative), and t is time. But first, we need to figure out the time. The time it takes to travel between the two strips can be calculated by t = d/v. The distance d is given as 110m, and the average speed v we want is 21 m/s (the speed limit).

Once we have the time, we can substitute the values into the first equation and solve for a. The values are v = 21 m/s (the speed we want to have in the end), v0 = 33 m/s (the initial speed), and we've calculated t from the previous step. For deceleration, as the speed is decreasing, a will be a negative number.

an egg is dropped from the top of the library roof. then 2.2 seconds after that a second egg is thrown straight down with an initial speed of 58m/s. it is then observed that the two eggs splat on the ground at the same instant. how high in meters is the library

Answers

Answer:

39.8 m

Explanation:

Let h be the required height and t be the time to reach the egg which was thrown later on. The egg thrown earlier took ( t +2.2) s , with initial velocity zero to cover distance of h.,

So

h = 1/2 g( t +2.2)²

For the egg thrown with velocity of 58 m/s

h = 58 t + 1/2 g t²

Equating these two equations

1/2 g( t +2.2)²  =  58 t + 1/2 g t²

1/2 g ( t² + 4.4 t + 4.84 ) = 58 t + 1/2 g t²

58 t = 21.56 t + 23.716

t = .65 s

h = 1/2 x 9.8 x (2.2+.65)²

h = 39.8 m

Light of wavelength 597 nm falls on a double slit, and the first bright fringe of the interference pattern is seen at an angle of 15.8° with the horizontal. Find the separation between the slits. µm

Answers

Answer:

2.2 µm

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

[tex]d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda[/tex]

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

Given wavelength = 597 nm

Angle, [tex]\theta[/tex]  = 15.8°

First bright fringe means , m = 1

So,

[tex]d\times sin\ 15.8^0=1\times \597\ nm[/tex]

[tex]d\times 0.2723=1\times \597\ nm[/tex]

[tex]d=2192.43481\ nm[/tex]

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1 µm = 10⁻⁶ m

So,

1 nm = 10⁻³ nm

Thus,

Distance between slits ≅ 2.2 µm

Answer:

The separation between the slit is [tex]2.19\mu m[/tex]

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength of light, [tex]\lambda = 597 nm = 597\times 10^{-9} m[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 15.8^{\circ}[/tex]

Now, by Young's double slit experiment:

[tex]xsin\theta = n\lambda[/tex]

here,

n = 1

x = slit width

Therefore,

[tex]x = \frac{597\times 10^{-9}}{sin15.8^{\circ}} = 2.19\times 10^{- 6} m[/tex]

[tex]x = 2.19\mu m[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

(a): [tex]F_e = 8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.[/tex]

(b): [tex]F_g = 3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.[/tex]

(c): [tex]\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}.[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053[tex]\times 10^{-9}[/tex] m.

Part (a):

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges [tex]q_1[/tex] and [tex]q_2[/tex] respectively is given by

[tex]F_e = \dfrac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]k[/tex] = Coulomb's constant = [tex]9\times 10^9\ \rm Nm^2/C^2.[/tex][tex]r[/tex] = distance of separation between the charges.

For the given system,

The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom, [tex]q_1 = +1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.[/tex]

The charge on the electron, [tex]q_2 = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.[/tex]

These two are separated by the distance, [tex]r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.[/tex]

Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

[tex]F_e = \dfrac{(9\times 10^9)\times |+1.6\times 10^{-19}|\times |-1.6\times 10^{-19}|}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.[/tex]

Part (b):

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses [tex]m_1[/tex] and [tex]m_1[/tex] respectively is given by

[tex]F_g = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}.[/tex]

where,

[tex]G[/tex] = Universal Gravitational constant = [tex]6.67\times 10^{-11}\ \rm Nm^2/kg^2.[/tex][tex]r[/tex] = distance of separation between the masses.

For the given system,

The mass of proton, [tex]m_1 = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg.[/tex]

The mass of the electron, [tex]m_2 = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.[/tex]

Distance between the two, [tex]r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.[/tex]

Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

[tex]F_g = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})\times (1.67\times 10^{-27})\times (9.11\times 10^{-31})}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.[/tex]

The ratio [tex]\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}[/tex]:

[tex]\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{8.202\times 10^{-8}}{3.6125\times 10^{-47}}=2.27\times 10^{39}.[/tex]

Your school science club has devised a special event for homecoming. You’ve attached a rocket to the rear of a small car that has been decorated in the green and gold school colors.

The car passes the judges’ box in the center of the grandstand, 990 m from the starting line, exactly 12 s after you fire the rocket. What is the car’s speed as it passes the judges

Answers

Answer:

V=120m/s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t                                     (1)

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X                (2)

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}                   (3)

X=(Vf+Vo)T/2                                 (4)

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

for this problem you must divide the problem into two parts 1 and 2, when the rocket accelerates (1), and when the rocket decelerates (2).

Then you raise equations 3 and 1 in both parts.

finally you use algebraic methods to find the value of speed

An important news announcement is transmitted by radio waves to people sitting next to their radios 42 km from the station and by sound waves to people sitting across the newsroom 9.26 m from the newscaster. Taking the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s, who receives the news first?

Answers

Answer:

news will reach to the listener who are 42 km apart

Explanation:

given,

distance of the radios from the station = 42 Km

speed of the sound in the air = 343 m/s

distance of the people = 9.26 m

[tex]time =\dfrac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

time taken by the signal to reach to the radio

speed of the electromagnetic wave to reach to the people

speed of electromagnetic wave = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

[tex]t =\dfrac{42000}{3 \times 10^8}[/tex]

t = 1.4 μs

time taken to reach to the people

[tex]time =\dfrac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

[tex]t =\dfrac{9.26}{343}[/tex]

t = 27 ms

time taken by the station to radio is less.

hence, news will reach to the listener who are 42 km apart

A cannon tilted up at a 29.0° angle fires a cannon ball at 81.0 m/s from atop a 22.0 m -high fortress wall. What is the ball's impact speed on the ground below?

Answers

Answer:

The speed of the ball when it hits the ground is 83.4 m/s

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a description of the problem.

The vector velocity at time "t" can be written as follows:

[tex]v = (v0 * cos\alpha ; v0 * sin\alpha + g*t)[/tex]

where:

v0 : module of the initial velocity vector.

α: launching angle.

g: acceleration due to gravity.

t: time

To calculate the impact speed, we can use this equation once we know the time at which the ball hits the ground. For this, we can use the equation for position:

[tex]r = ( x0 + v0*t*cos\alpha ; y0 + v0*t*sin\alpha + 1/2 g*t^{2})[/tex]

where:

r= vector position

x0 = horizontal initial position

y0 = vertical initial position

The problem gives us information about the vertical displacement. If we take the base of the wall as the center of the reference system, at the time at which the ball hits the ground, the module of the vertical component of the vector position, r, is 0 m (see figure). The initial vertical position is  22 m.

if ry is the vertical component of the vector r at final time:

[tex]ry = (0; y0 + v0*t*sin\alpha +1/2 g*t^{2})[/tex]

then, the module of ry is (see figure):

module ry =[tex]0 = 22m + v0*t*sin\alpha + 1/2*g*t^{2}[/tex]

Let´s replace with the given data:

[tex]0 = 22m + 39.3 m/s*t -4.9 m/s^{2}*t^{2}[/tex]

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = -0.5 and t = 8.5 s

At 8.5 s after firing, the ball hits the ground.

Now, we can find the module of the velocity vector when the ball hits the ground:

[tex]v = (v0 * cos\alpha ; v0 * sin\alpha + g*t)[/tex]

at time t = 8.5s

[tex]v = (81.0m/s * cos\alpha ; 81.0m/s * sin\alpha - 9.8 m/s^{2} *8.5s)[/tex]

v = (70.8 m/s; -44.0 m/s)

module of v = [tex]\sqrt{(70.8m/s)^{2} + (-44.0m/s)^{2}}[/tex] = 83.4 m/s

Answers

Answer:

p = 727.273 kg/m3,  y = 7134.545 N/m^3, SG = 0.7273

Explanation:

Density is simply the amount of mass of a substance per unit of volume. It can be found by dividing the mass in kg by the volume im m^3:

[tex]p = \frac{m}{v}  = \frac{40kg}{55lt*\frac{1 m^3}{1000 lt}} = 727.273 kg/m^3[/tex]

Specific weight is the weight of the substance per unit of volume. The weight is the mass of the material times the gravity, and it represents the force that the earth exerts on an object. Another way of calculate this value, its multiplying the density of the fuel times the gravity. Then:

[tex]y =  p*g = 727.273 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 = 7134.545 N/m^3[/tex]

Specific Gravity is the ratio of the density of the substance to the density of a reference substance. For liquids, the reference substance is water at 4°C, which has a density of about 1000 kg/m^3.

[tex]SG =\frac{ p_{fuel}}{p_{water}}  = \frac{727.273 kg/m^3}{1000 kg/m^3} = 0.7273[/tex]

A 5.0 c charge is 10 m from a small test charge. what is the magnitude of the electric field at the location of the test charge ?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]4.50*10^8\frac{N}{C}[/tex]

Explanation:

The electric field is generated by a charge and represents the force exerted on a test charge, that is, the electric force per unit of charge. Therefore the equation for the electric field can be obtained from Coulomb's law.

[tex]E=\frac{F}{q}\\E=\frac{kq}{r^2}\\E=\frac{5C*8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{C^2}}{(10 m)^2}=4.50*10^8\frac{N}{C}[/tex]

Final answer:

The magnitude of the electric field created by a larger charge Q at the location of a test charge is calculated by the formula E = k*Q/r² where k is Coulomb's constant, Q is the charge creating the field, and r is the distance between the charges. Substituting the given values into the formula, we find the electric field magnitude to be 4.495 x 10^8 N/C.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field created by a point charge Q can be calculated using Coulomb's law as follows:

The equation for calculating the electric field E in relation to the force F imparted on a small test charge q is defined as E = F/q.

However, the Coulomb’s law gives the force F between two charges as F = k*Q*q/r², where, k is the Coulomb's constant (8.99 × 10^9 N.m²/C²), Q is the charge creating the field, q is the test charge, and r is the distance between them.

In the case where we want to find the electric field created by a larger charge Q at the location of a small charge q, we consider the force on the small charge exerted by Q, and therefore, we rewrite the equation as E = k*Q/r².

Therefore for your question, the magnitude of the electric field (E) at the location of the test charge is calculated as E = (8.99 x 10^9 N.m²/C² * 5.0 C) / (10m)² = 4.495 x 10^8 N/C.

[tex]E = \frac{(f^2c^2 - v_o^2)M}{2QD}[/tex]

Part c)

[tex]E = \frac{2.07 \times 10^5}{D}[/tex]

Explanation:

Part a)

As per Coulomb's law we know that force on a charge placed in electrostatic field is given as

[tex]F = QE[/tex]

now acceleration of charge is given as

[tex]a = \frac{QE}{M}[/tex]

now if charge moved through the distance D in electric field and its speed changes from vo to fraction f of speed of light c

then we will have

[tex]v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d[/tex]

[tex](fc)^2 - v_o^2 = 2(\frac{QE}{M})D[/tex]

so we have

[tex]E = \frac{(f^2c^2 - v_o^2)M}{2QD}[/tex]

Part b)

Now using work energy theorem we can say that total work done by electric force on moving charge will convert into kinetic energy

So we will have

[tex]QED = \frac{1}{2}M(cf)^2 - \frac{1}{2}Mv_o^2[/tex]

so we have

[tex]E = \frac{M(c^2f^2 - v_o^2)}{2QD}[/tex]

Part c)

Now if an electron is accelerated using this field

[tex]Q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C[/tex]

[tex]c = 3\times 10^8 m/s[/tex]

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 1.87 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.166 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high above the ground was the acorn before it fell (assuming that the acorn didn\'t run into any branches or leaves on the way down)?

Answers

Answer:

3.25 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.166 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

s = 1 because meter stick is 1 meter in length

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.166^2}{0.166}\\\Rightarrow u=5.21\ m/s[/tex]

Here, the initial velocity of point B is calculated from the time which is given. This velocity will be the final velocity of the acorn which falling from point A.

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{5.21^2-0^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=1.38\ m[/tex]

The distance of the acorn from the ground is 1.87+1.38 = 3.25 m

A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providing a steady force of 161 N that is parallel to the motion of the sled. The combined mass of the girl and the sled is 87.7 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the runners of the sled is 0.151. How much time is required for the sled to travel down a 271-m slope, starting from rest?

Answers

Answer:

The sled required 9.96 s to travel down the slope.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the problem. In red are the x and y-components of the gravity force (Fg). Since the y-component of Fg (Fgy) is of equal magnitude as Fn but in the opposite direction, both forces get canceled.

Then, the forces that cause the acceleration of the sled are the force of the wind (Fw), the friction force (Ff) and the x-component of the gravity force (Fgx).

The sum of all these forces make the sled move. Finding the resulting force will allow us to find the acceleration of the sled and, with it, we can find the time the sled travel.

The magnitude of the friction force is calculated as follows:

Ff = μ · Fn

where :

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fn =  normal force

The normal force has the same magnitude as the y-component of the gravity force:

Fgy = Fg · cos 30º = m · g · cos 30º

Where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then:

Fgy = m · g · cos 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · cos 30º

Fgy = 744 N

Then, the magnitude of Fn is also 744 N and the friction force will be:

Ff = μ · Fn = 0.151 · 744 N = 112 N

The x-component of Fg, Fgx, is calculated as follows:

Fgx = Fg · sin 30º = m·g · sin 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · sin 30º = 430 N

The resulting force, Fr, will be the sum of all these forces:

Fw + Fgx - Ff = Fr

(Notice that forces are vectors and the direction of the friction force is opposite to the other forces, then, it has to be of opposite sign).

Fr = 161 N + 430 N - 112 N = 479 N

With this resulting force, we can calculate the acceleration of the sled:

F = m·a

where:

F = force

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

Then:

F/m = a

a = 479N/87.7 kg = 5.46 m/s²

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the sled starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the sled starts sliding, x0 and v0 = 0.

x = 1/2· a ·t²

Let´s find the time at which the position of the sled is 271 m:

271 m = 1/2 · 5.46 m/s² · t²

2 · 271 m / 5.46 m/s² = t²

t = 9.96 s

The sled required almost 10 s to travel down the slope.

2) A 10-milliliter graduate weighs 42.745 grams. When 6 milliliters of distilled water are measured in it, the combined weight of graduate and water is 48.540 grams. By definition, 6 milliliters of water should weigh 6 grams. Calculate the weight of the measured water and express any deviation from 6 grams as percentage of error (%, to the nearest hundredth).

Answers

Answer:

4 %

2 ) 3.42 %

Explanation:

Sensitivity requirement of 4 milligram means it is not sensitive below 4 milligram or can not measure below 4 milligram .

Given , 4 milligram is the maximum error possible .

Measured weight = 100 milligram

So percentage maximum potential error

= (4 / 100)  x 100

4 %

2 )

As per measurement

weight of 6 milliliters of water

= 48.540 - 42.745 = 5.795 gram

6 milliliters of water should measure 6 grams

Deviation = 6 - 5.795 = - 0.205 gram.

Percentage of error =(.205 / 6 )x 100

= 3.42 %

What is the difference in energy between a beta particle at rest and one traveling 0.35c?

Answers

Answer:

They have a difference in energy of 35 eV.

Explanation:

The energy at rest of a particle is given by:

[tex]E_{R} = m_{0}c^2[/tex]   (1)

Where [tex]m_{0}[/tex] is the mass of the particle at rest and c is the speed of light.

Beta particles are high energy and high velocity electrons or positrons ejected from the nucleus of an atom as a consequence of a radioactive decay. Either if the beta particle is an electron¹ or a positron² it will have the same mass.

Hence, the mass of the beta particle at rest in equation (1) will be equal to the mass of an electron:

[tex]m_{e} = 9.1095x10^{-31} Kg[/tex]

Replacing the values of [tex]m_{e}[/tex] and c in equation (1) it is gotten:

[tex]E_{R} = (9.1095x10^{-31} Kg)(3.00x10^{8} m/s)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]E_{R} = 8.19x10^{-14} Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}[/tex]

But [tex]1 J = Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}[/tex], therefore:

[tex]E_{R} = 8.19x10^{-14} J[/tex]

It is better to express the rest energy in electronvolts (eV):

[tex]1eV = 1.60x10^{-19} J[/tex]

[tex]8.19x10^{-14} J . \frac{1 eV}{1.60x10^{-19} J}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]511.875 eV[/tex]

[tex]E_{R} = 511.875 eV[/tex]

So the energy of the beta particle at rest is 511.875 eV.

Case for the one traveling at 0.35c:

Since it is traveling at 35% of the speed of light it is necessary to express equation (1) in a relativistic way, that can be done adding the Lorentz factor to it:

[tex]E = \frac{m_{0}c^{2}}{sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}[/tex]   (2)

Where v is the velocity of the particle (for this case 0.35c).

[tex]E = \frac{511.875 eV}{sqrt{1-\frac{(0.35c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}[/tex]

[tex]E = \frac{511.875 eV}{sqrt{1-\frac{0.1225c^{2}}{c^{2}}}}[/tex]

[tex]E = \frac{511.875 eV}{sqrt{1-0.1225}}[/tex]

[tex]E = \over{511.875 eV}{sqrt{0.8775}}[/tex]

[tex]E = \over{511.875 eV}{0.936}[/tex]

[tex]E = 546.875 eV[/tex]

The difference in energy between the two particles can be determined using the relativistic form of the kinetic energy:

[tex]K = E – E_{R}[/tex]  (3)

Where E is the energy of the particle traveling at 0.35c and [tex]E_{R}[/tex] is the energy of the beta particle at rest.

[tex]K = 546.875 eV – 511.875 eV[/tex]

[tex]K = 35 eV[/tex]

They have a difference in energy of 35 eV.

What does it mean when we say that each side of the seafloor away from the mid ocean ridge is a mirror image of the other side?

Answers

Answer:

It means at a diverging boundary when magma spreads to both sides it is almost identical in both the side.

Explanation:

At a diverging boundary when magma spreads to both sides it is almost identical in both the side.

If you take a picture of one side of the boundry and the spreading of sea floor and place it before a mirror you can see the image is identical to the picture of other side.

Therefore, the meaning of saying, each side of the sea floor away from the mid ocean ridge is a mirror image of the other side is explained above.

Final answer:

The statement that each side of the seafloor away from the mid ocean ridge is a mirror image of the other side refers to the symmetric nature of seafloor spreading. Molten material rises from the Earth's mantle at the mid-ocean ridge, cools, and forms new oceanic crust, creating symmetric magnetic striping patterns. This is akin to the bilaterally symmetric structure observed in certain organisms.

Explanation:

When we say that each side of the seafloor away from the mid ocean ridge is a mirror image of the other side, we are referencing the symmetric nature of seafloor spreading. Just as a mirror image reflects an object exactly, so does the seafloor on one side of the mid-ocean ridge reflect the seafloor on the opposite side. This is because molten material rises from the Earth's mantle at the mid-ocean ridge, cools, and forms new oceanic crust. This new crust then moves away from the ridge due to tectonic forces, and the process repeats, creating a pattern of symmetrical magnetic striping on the seafloor.

This 'mirroring' effect is similar to the bilaterally symmetric structure seen in certain organisms, where a plane cut from the front to back of the organism produces distinct left and right sides that are mirror images of each other. You can see this symmetry in the images of the Moon provided – two different sides, yet mirroring similar physical traits.

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 11.8 m/s. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2 Take the water surface to be y0 = 0. Choose UPWARD as positive y direction. Keep 2 decimal places in all answers. (a) How high (what maximum height) in meters does his body rise above the water? To solve this part, first note that the body's final velocity at the maximum height is known (implicitly) and identify its value. Then identify the unknown, and chose the appropriate equation (based on the knowns and unknown) to solve for it. After choosing the equation, solving for the unknown, checking units, think about whether the answer is reasonable.(b) How long in seconds is the dolphin in the air? Neglect any effects due to his size or orientation. Note: this is the total time of jumping up from water to hightest point and falling down to water.

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]y_{max}=7.10m[/tex]

b) [tex]t=2.40 s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the exercise, we know the initial velocity, gravitational acceleration and initial position of the dolphin.

[tex]v_{oy}=11.8m/s[/tex]

[tex]y_{o}=0m\\ g=9.8m/s^{2}[/tex]

a) To find maximum height, we know that at that point the dolphin's velocity is 0 and it becomes coming down later.

Knowing that, we need to know how much time does it take the dolphin to reach maximum height.

[tex]v_{y}=v_{oy}+gt[/tex]

[tex]0=11.8m/s-(9.8m/s^{2} )t[/tex]

Solving for t

[tex]t=1.20 s[/tex]

So, the dolphin reach maximum point at 1.20 seconds

Now, using the equation of position we can calculate maximum height.

[tex]y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t +\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=0+11.8m/s(1.20s)-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2} )(1.20s)=7.10m[/tex]

b) To find how long is the dolphin in the air we need to analyze it's hole motion

At the end of the jump the dolphin return to the water at y=0. So, from the equation of position we have that

[tex]y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t +\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}[/tex]

[tex]0=0+11.8t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}[/tex]

What we have here, is a quadratic equation that could be solve using:

[tex]t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}[/tex]

[tex]a=-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)[/tex]

[tex]b=11.8\\c=0[/tex]

[tex]t=0s[/tex] or [tex]t=2.40 s[/tex]

Since the answer can not be 0, the dolphin is 2.40 seconds in the air.

It takes 15 min to drive 6.0 mi in a straight line to the local hospital. It takes 10 min to go the last 3.0 mi, 2.0 min to go the last mile, and only 30 s (0.50 min) to go the last 0.50 mi. What is the average speed of the trip? Take the positive xx ‑direction to be from the starting point toward the hospital.

Answers

Final answer:

The average speed for the trip to the hospital, which covers a distance of 6.0 miles in 15 minutes, is 24 miles per hour (mph).

Explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the trip to the hospital, you take the total distance traveled and divide it by the total time taken. The student has specified that it takes 15 minutes to drive 6.0 miles in total. Therefore, the average speed can be calculated as follows:

Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
Speed = 6.0 miles / 15 minutes
Speed = 0.4 miles per minute

To convert this to miles per hour (mph), multiply by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour):

Speed = 0.4 miles/minute × 60 minutes/hour
Speed = 24 mph.

Therefore, the average speed for the entire trip is 24 mph.

Answers

Answer:14.72 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity (u)=16.6 m/s

[tex]\theta =40.9^{\circ}[/tex]

Horizontal velocity component ([tex]u_x[/tex])=16.6cos40.9=12.54 m/s

As the ball comes down so its vertical displacement is zero except 3 m elevation

Thus [tex]v_y=\sqrt{\left ( 16.6sin40.9\right )^2+2\left ( -9.81\right )\left ( 3\right )}[/tex]

[tex]v_y=\sqrt{10.868^2-58.86}[/tex]

[tex]v_y=\sqrt{59.253}[/tex]

[tex]v_y=7.69 m/s[/tex]

there will be no change is horizontal velocity as there is no acceleration

Therefore Final Velocity

[tex]v=\sqrt{u_x^2+v_y^2}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{12.54^2+7.69^2}[/tex]

Calculate the rotational inertia of a wheel that has akinetic
energy of 24,400 J when rotating at 566 rev/min.

Answers

Answer:

J = 14.4 kg*m^2

Explanation:

Assuming that the wheel is not moving anywhere, and the kinetic energy is only due to rotation:

Ek = 1/2 * J * w^2

J = 2 * Ek / (w^2)

We need the angular speed in rad / s

566 rev/min * (1 min/ 60 s) * (2π rad / rev) = 58.22 rad/s

Then:

J = 2 * 24400 / (58.22^2) = 14.4 kg*m^2

Magnitude of a vector is positive if it is directed in +x and negative if is is directed in -X direction. Magnitude of a vector can be zero if only one of components is zero. If vector A has bigger component along x direction than vector B, it immediately means, the vector A has bigger magnitude than vector B. Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero.

Answers

Answer:

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero."

Explanation:

"The magnitude of a vector can be smaller than length of one of its components."

Wrong, the magnitude of a vector is at least equal to the length of a component. This is because of the Pythagoras theorem. It can never be smaller.

"Magnitude of a vector is positive if it is directed in +x and negative if is is directed in -X direction."

False. Magnitude of a vector is always positive.

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero if only one of components is zero."

Wrong. For the magnitude of a vector to be zero, all components must be zero.

"If vector A has bigger component along x direction than vector B, it immediately means, the vector A has bigger magnitude than vector B."

Wrong. The magnitude of a vector depends on all components, not only the X component.

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero."

True.

The correct statements are A and E.

A) True. The magnitude of a vector can indeed be smaller than the length of one of its components, especially when the vector has components in multiple directions.

B) False. The magnitude of a vector is always positive or zero, regardless of its direction. It is not negative if directed in the -x direction.

C) False. The magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all of its components are zero. Having only one component as zero does not guarantee a zero magnitude.

D) False. The magnitude of a vector depends on the vector's components in all directions, not just the component along the x direction. It cannot be immediately concluded that vector A has a bigger magnitude than vector B solely based on the x-component.

E) True. The magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of the vector are zero. This is a fundamental property of vectors; they have zero magnitude only if they have no components in any direction.
