A 2.0 kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The block’s initial speed is 10 m/s. What vert
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Vertical Height = 0.784 meter, Speed back at starting point = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

V is the overall velocity vector, Vi and Ui are its initial vertical and horizontal components

R = 10 m/s\\ Projection Angle (theta) = 30 degrees\\Vi   = 10*sin(30) = 5 m/s\\Ui  = 10*cos(30) = 8.66 m/s

To find:

Max Height h achieved

Calculation:

1) Using the 3^{rd} equation of motion, we know

2*a*s = Vf^{2}  - Vi^{2}

2) In terms of gravity g height h and  the vertical component of Velocity Vf , Vi.

3) As Vf = 0 as at maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero maximum height achieved

2*g*h = Vf^{2}  -Vi^{2}

putting values

4) h = 0.784 m/s

5) As for the speed when it reaches back its starting point, it will have a speed similar to its launching speed, the reason being the absence of air friction (Air drag)

The density of Mercury is 1.36 × 10 by 4 Kgm - 3 at 0 degrees. Calculate its value at 100 degrees and at 22 degrees. Take cubic
Drupady [299]

a) Density at 100 degrees: 1.34\cdot 10^4 kg/m^3

Explanation:

The density of mercury at 0 degrees is d=1.36\cdot 10^4 kg/m^3

Let's take 1 kg of mercury. Its volume at 0 degrees is

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{1 kg}{1.36\cdot 10^4 kg/m^3}=7.35\cdot 10^{-5} m^3

The formula to calculate the volumetric expansion of the mercury is:

\Delta V= \alpha V \Delta T

where

\alpha=180\cdot 10^{-6} K^{-1} is the cubic expansivity of mercury

V is the initial volume

\Delta T is the increase in temperature

In this part of the problem, \Delta T=100 C-0 C=100 C=100 K

So, the expansion is

\Delta V= \alpha V \Delta T=(180\cdot 10^{-6} K^{-1})(7.35\cdot 10^{-5} m^3)(100 K)=1.3\cdot 10^{-6} m^3

So, the new density is

d'=\frac{m}{V+\Delta V}=\frac{1 kg}{7.35\cdot 10^{-5} m^3+1.3\cdot 10^{-6} m^3}=1.34\cdot 10^4 kg/m^3


b) Density at 22 degrees: 1.355\cdot 10^4 kg/m^3

We can apply the same formula we used before, the only difference here is that the increase in temperature is

\Delta T=22 C-0 C=22 C=22 K

And the volumetric expansion is

\Delta V= \alpha V \Delta T=(180\cdot 10^{-6} K^{-1})(7.35\cdot 10^{-5} m^3)(22 K)=2.9\cdot 10^{-7} m^3

So, the new density is

d'=\frac{m}{V+\Delta V}=\frac{1 kg}{7.35\cdot 10^{-5} m^3+2.9\cdot 10^{-7} m^3}=1.355\cdot 10^4 kg/m^3

Water is being heated in a closed pan on top of a range while being stirred by a paddle wheel.
BigorU [14]

Heat transfer in a closed system is the addition of changes in internal energy and the total amount of work done by it.  The final energy of the system is 35.5kJ.  

<h3>What is heat transfer? </h3>

Heat transfer is the transfer of heat energy due to temperature differences.

The paddle-wheel paintings are quantities of workdone, 500 N.m or 0.5kJ.

The preliminary (initial) power of the device is 10 kJ.

Total warmness transferred in the course of the method is 30 kJ

Total warmness misplaced in the course of the method to the encompassing air is 5 kJ.

The energy of the system is given as:

The energy of the system = Energy in - Energy out

The energy of the system = Initial energy + Energy transferred + Work done - Energy lost

Energy of the system = 10 + 30 + 0.5 - 5 kJ

Energy of the system = 35.5 kJ

A tank whose bottom is a mirror is filled with water to a depth of 20.0 cm. A small fish floats motionless 7.0 cm under the surf
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The apparent depth of (a) the fish is 5.3 cm and (b) the image of the fish is 24.8 cm.

Explanation:

According to the following equation:

\frac{n_{w} }{s} +\frac{n_{a} }{s'} = \frac{n_{a}- n_{w}}{R_{c} } \\

where <em>nw</em> and <em>na</em> is the refractive indices of water (1.33) and air (1.00) respectively; <em>s</em> is the depth of the fish below the surface of the water; s' is the apparent depth of the fish from normal incidence and Rc is the radius of curvature of the mirror at the bottom of the tank.

Note that the bottom of the tank is assumed to be a flat mirror, therefore the radius of curvature is very large (R⇒∞).

Therefore, the above equation can be expressed as:

\frac{n_{w}}{s} +\frac{n_{a}}{s'}=0

Now we can solve for the apparent depth of the fish.

(a) s'=-(\frac{n_{a}}{n_{w}})x s (Make s' subject of the formula from the above equation)

s'=(\frac{1.00}{1.33} )x7cm

∴ s'=5.3 cm.

(b) The motionless fish floats 13 cm above the mirror, therefore the image of the fish will be situated at 13 + 20 =33 cm away from the real fish.

Therefore, s = 33 cm

s'=-(\frac{n_{a}}{n_{w}})x s

s'=(\frac{1.00}{1.33} )x 33 cm

s'=24.8 cm.

NB: Here, it is assumed that the water is pure, as impurities may alter the refractive index of water.

A large cube has a mass of 25kg. It is being acclerated
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

p= 400.29N ........the horizontal force

Explanation:

Given data

mass=25 kg

small cube mass mass=4 kg

Us (The Coefficient of static b/w two cubes) = 0.71

to find

The horizontal force to keep the small cube  from sliding downward

Solution

F=ma.........................from Newton Second law

Where F=force

a=acceleration

m=mass

we can write equation in form of acceleration  

a=F/m

The acceleration on small box is same as that on the large box.

Let P be force to find.

then:

a=p/(25kg+4kg)

a=p/(29kg)m/s²

The force acting on small box:

F=ma

f=4*(p/29)N........................normal force

friction force= Us*(normal force).........where Us is coefficient of static friction.

friction force= 0.71*(4*p/29)

Now to find weight

weight= mg

weight= 4*9.8

for the object(small box) not to slide down the friction force b/w the two objects have to be exactly the same as the weight of the object.

0.71*(4*p/29)=4*9.8

solving for p(force)

p= 400.29N ........the horizontal force
