Why empty tin-cans ocillating for a longer time

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: When you speak into the can, your voice creates air vibrations that travel into the can, vibrate the bottom of the can, which in turn vibrates the string all the way over to the other can, in turn vibrating the other can's bottom, then the air again.

If earth had no atmosphere, would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity?

stepan [7]

No, because terminal velocity is when the acceleration of the Earth’s gravity is balanced by the air resistance of the atmosphere.

A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N,

Serggg [28]

Answer:

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\$

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\$ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

$Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\$

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\$

Substitute the given parameters

$Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a = 1.736m/s^2\\$

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²

A tank is filled with an ideal gas at 400 K and pressure of 1.00 atm.

bekas [8.4K]

To find the temperature it is necessary to use the expression and concepts related to the ideal gas law.

Mathematically it can be defined as

$PV=nRT$

Where

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = Number of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

When the number of moles and volume is constant then the expression can be written as

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

Or in practical terms for this exercise depending on the final temperature:

$T_2 = \frac{P_2T_1}{P_1}$

Our values are given as

$T_1 = 400K\\P_1 = 1atm\\P_2 = 2atm$

Replacing

$T_2 = \frac{(2)(400)}{1}\\T_2 = 800K$

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 800K

For a wire has a circular cross section with a radius of 1.23mm.

Mila [183]

Answer:

$5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

Decrease

Explanation:

I = Current = 3.7 A

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

n = Conduction electron density in copper = $8.49\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3$

$v_d$ = Drift velocity of electrons

r = Radius = 1.23 mm

Current is given by

$I=neAv_d\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{3.7}{8.49\times 10^{28}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \pi (1.23\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow v_d=5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

The drift speed of the electrons is $5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

$v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}$

From the equation we can see the following

$v_d\propto \dfrac{1}{n}$

So, if the number of conduction electrons per atom is higher than that of copper the drift velocity will decrease.

Why is the spectrum of a star called an absorption spectrum?

ladessa [460]

It is called absorption spectrum because a gas of hydrogen will make a line spectrum and if viewed for another angle it would be between a continuum light and a emission line spectrum
