A rogue band of colonists on the moon declares war and prepares to use a catapult to launch large boulders at the earth. Assume

that the boulders are launched from the point on the moon nearest the earth. For this problem you can ignore the rotation of the two bodies and the orbiting of the moon.1) What is the minimum speed with which a boulder must be launched to reach the earth? Hint: The minimum speed is not the escape speed. You need to analyze a three-body system.2) Ignoring air resistance, what is the impact speed on earth of a boulder launched at this minimum speed?

Answer:

  • 2.3 km/s
  • 11 km/s

Explanation:

The system is made up of three body system which are the boulder, earth and the moon also the sum of potential ad kinetic energies are assumed to be the same also note that the boulder was launched from the moon at an initial velocity

A ) Minimum speed of the boulder for it to reach the earth = 2.3 km/s

B) ignoring air resistance the impact speed on earth of a boulder launched at this minimum speed = 11 km/s

What is the momentum p if the mass m is doubled?<br> Vzp<br> 1) р<br> 2) 2p<br> 3) 4p
aliina [53]

Answer:

<em>Correct answer: 2) 2p</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum</u>

Momentum is a measurement of mass in motion or how much mass is in how much motion. The symbol for momentum is p and is defined as:

p = m . v

Where m is the mass of the object and v is the speed. Note this is the scalar version of the formula because both p and v are vectors.

Suppose the mass of the object is doubled to 2m, then the new momentum is:

p' = (2m) . v = 2 m . v

Or, equivalently:

p' = 2p

Correct answer: 2) 2p

The oscillating electric field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7B50%5Csin%20%28%5
Scorpion4ik [409]

Here, we are given with:

{:\implies \quad \longrightarrow \begin{cases}\sf E_{0}= 50\: V/m\\ \sf \nu = 2\times 10^{7}Hz\end{cases}}

(a) So now, we can thus obtain

{:\implies \quad \sf \omega =2\pi \nu}

{:\implies \quad \sf \omega =2\pi (2\times 10^{7})}

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{\omega = 4\pi \times 10^{7}\: s^{-1}}}}

Now, finding \lambda

{:\implies \quad \sf \lambda =\dfrac{c}{\omega}=\dfrac{3\times 10^{8}}{4\pi \times 10^{7}}}

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{\lambda \approx 2.39\:m}}}

Now, finding k

{:\implies \quad \sf k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=\dfrac{200\pi}{239}}

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{k\approx 2.63\:m^{-1}}}}

Thus, expression for the electric field is:

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{E=50\sin \bigg(4\pi \times 10^{7}t-\dfrac{263x}{100}\bigg)}}}

(b) Now, here

{:\implies \quad \sf B_{0}=\dfrac{E_{0}}{c}=\dfrac{50}{3\times 10^{8}}}

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{B_{0}\approx 16.67×10^{-7}\:T}}}

Thus, expression for the magnetic field:

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{B_{y}=16.67\times 10^{-7}\sin \bigg(4\pi \times 10^{7}t-\dfrac{263x}{100}\bigg)\:T}}}

(c) The electromagnetic wave propagates along Z-axis

Moving 2.0 coulombs of charge a distance of 6.0 meters from point A to point B within an electric field requires a 5.0-newton fo
amm1812

Answer:

15 V

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as the product of Electric field and distance. Mathematically:

V = E * r

Where E = Electric field

r = distance = 6m

Electric field, E, is:

E = F / q

Where F = Electric force = 5N

q = Electric charge = 2C

Therefore, electric potential will be:

V = (F * r) / q

V = (5 * 6) / 2

V = 15V

A uniform cylinder of radius 25 cm and mass 27 kg is mounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that is parallel to
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                     STEP 1

<u>Given</u>

Radius of cylinder = r = 25cm, 2.5m

mass = 27kg

cylinder is mounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that is parallel to and 60cm to the central logitudinal axis of the cylinder

height = 0.6m

<u>part 1</u>

The cylinder is mounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis tha is paralle to 60cm from the central longitudinal axis of then cylinder. The rotational inertia of the cylinder about the axis of rotation is given by

<em>I = Icm + mh²</em>

<em>∴ I = 1/2mr² + mh² = 1/2x27x (0.5)² + 20  x  (0.6)²</em>

<em>I=13.09kg.m²</em>

where

<em>I</em>cm is the rotational inertia of the cylinder about its central axis

m is the mass of the cylinder

h is the distance between the axis of the rotation and the central axis of the cylinder

r is the radius of the cylinder

<em>                                        </em><em> I=13.09kg.m²</em>

<em>part2</em>

<em>from the conservation of the total mechanical energy of the meter stick, the change in gravitational potential energyof the meter stick plus the change in kinetic energy must be zero</em>

<em>Δk + Δu = 0</em>

<em>1/2 </em>I(w²-w²) = Ui-Uf

1/2 x 13.09w² = mgh

∴w=√20 x 9.8 x 0.6/(1/2 x 13.09) =117.6/6.5

w=18.09rad/s
