Neptune: 4.45 billion km / 2.77 billion miles (29.8 AU)

Astronomers often use a term called astronomical unit (AU) to represent the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

List at least three pieces of evidence to support the idea that sound is a wave.
Schach [20]

Answer:

1. It undergoes reflection. 2. It undergoes refraction. 3. It undergoes diffraction.

Explanation:

1. It undergoes reflection. This is because it bounces off surfaces when incident on them.

2. It undergoes refraction. This is because it changes direction when it passes from one medium to another

3. It undergoes diffraction. This is because it spreads out when it passes through doors and windows similar in dimension to the dimensions of its wavelength

A hollow cylinder that is rolling without slipping is given a velocity of 5.0 m/s and rolls up an incline to a vertical height o
inysia [295]

Answer:

The hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, total kinetic energy = total potential energy

M.E_T = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 + mgh

The total energy at the bottom of the inclined plane = total energy at the top of the inclined plane.

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_i^2 + mg(0) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_f^2 + mgh

moment of inertia, I, of a hollow cylinder = ¹/₂mr²

substitute for I in the equation above;

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2  \omega_i^2) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2  \omega_f^2) + mgh\\\\ but \ v = r \omega\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_i^2  ) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_f^2) + mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\\frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\mgh = \frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 -  \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2\\\\gh = \frac{3}{4}v_i^2 -  \frac{3}{4}v_f^2\\\\

h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2)

given;

v₁ = 5.0 m/s

vf = 0

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2) =\frac{3}{4*9.8}(5^2 -0) = 1.91 \ m

Therefore, the hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 21.0 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The blocks must be pushed with a force higher than 359 Newtons horizontally in order to accomplish this friction levitation feat.

Explanation:

The first step in resolving any physics problem is to draw the given scenario (if possible), see the attached image to have an idea of the objects and forces involved.

The large cube in red is being pushed from the left by a force \vec{P} whose value is to be found. That cube has its own weight \vec{w}_1=m_1\vec{g}, and it is associated with the force of gravity which points downward. Newton's third law stipulates that the response from the floor is an upward pointing force on the cube, and it's called the normal force \vec{N}_1.

A second cube is being pushed by the first, and since the force \vec{P} is strong enough it is able to keep such block suspended as if it were glued to the first one, due to friction. As in the larger cube, the smaller one has a weight \vec{w}_2=m_2\vec{g} pointing downwards, but the normal force in this block doesn't point upwards since its 'floor' isn't below it, but in its side, therefore the normal force directs it to the right as it is shown in the picture. Normal forces are perpendicular to the surface they contact. The final force is the friction between both cubes, that sets a resistance of one moving parallel the other. In this case, the weight of the block its the force pointing parallel to the contact surface, so the friction opposes that force, and thus points upwards. Friction forces can be set as Fr=\mu~N, where \mu is the coefficient of static friction between the cubes.

Now that all forces involved are identified, the following step is to apply Newton's second law and add all the forces for each block that point in the same line, and set it as equal its mass multiplied by its acceleration. The condition over the smaller box is the relevant one so its the first one to be analyzed.

In the vertical component: \Sigma F^2_y=Fr-w_2=m_2 a_y Since the idea is that it doesn't slips downwards, the vertical acceleration should be set to zero a_y=0, and making explicit the other forces: \mu N_2-m_2g=0\quad\Rightarrow (0.710)N_2-(4.5)(10)=0\quad\Rightarrow N_2=(4.5)(10)/(0.710)\approx 63.38 [N]. In the last equation gravity's acceleration was rounded to 10 [m/s^2].

In its horizontal component: \Sigma F^2_x=N_2=m_2 a_x, this time the horizontal acceleration is not zero, because it is constantly being pushed. However, the value of the normal force and the mass of the block are known, so its horizontal acceleration can be determined: 63.38=(4.5) a_x \quad \Rightarrow a_x=(63.38)/(4.5)\approx 14.08 [m/s^2]. Notice that this acceleration is higher than the one of gravity, and it is understandable since you should be able to push it harder than gravity in order for it to not slip.

Now the attention is switched to the larger cube. The vertical forces are not relevant here, since the normal force balances its weight so that there isn't vertical acceleration. The unknown force comes up in the horizontal forces analysis: \Sigma F_x=P=m a_x, since the force \vec{P} is not only pushing the first block but both, the mass involved in this equation is the combined masses of the blocks, the acceleration is the same for both blocks since they move together; P=(21.0+4.5) 14.08\approx 359.04 [N]. The resulting force is quite high but not impossible to make by a human being, this indicates that this feat of friction suspension is difficult but feasable.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A. Power generated by meteor = 892857.14 Watts

Yes. It is obvious that the large amount of power generated accounts for the glowing trail of the meteor.

B. Workdone = 981000 J

Power required = 19620 Watts

Note: The question is incomplete. A similar complete question is given below:

A shooting star is actually the track of a meteor, typically a small chunk of debris from a comet that has entered the earth's atmosphere. As the drag force slows the meteor down, its kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy, leaving a glowing trail across the sky. A typical meteor has a surprisingly small mass, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in speed. Assume that a meteor has a mass of 1.5 g and is moving at an impressive 50 km/s, both typical values. What power is generated if the meteor slows down over a typical 2.1 s? Can you see how this tiny object can make a glowing trail that can be seen hundreds of kilometers away? 61. a. How much work does an elevator motor do to lift a 1000 kg elevator a height of 100 m at a constant speed? b. How much power must the motor supply to do this in 50 s at constant speed?

Explanation:

A. Power = workdone / time taken

Workdone = Kinetic energy of the meteor

Kinetic energy = mass × velocity² / 2

Mass of meteor = 1.5 g = 0.0015 kg;

Velocity of meteor = 50 km/s = 50000 m/s

Kinetic energy = 0.0015 × (50000)² / 2 = 1875000 J

Power generated = 1875000/2.1 = 892857.14 Watts

Yes. It is obvious that the large amount of power generated accounts for the glowing trail of the meteor.

B. Work done by elevator against gravity = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height

Work done = 1000 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 100 m

Workdone = 981000 J

Power required = workdone / time

Power = 981000 J / 50 s

Power required = 19620 Watts

Therefore, the motor must supply a power of 19620 Watts in order to lift a 1000 kg to a height of 100 m at a constant speed in 50 seconds.
