Answer:

time at which Kathy overtakes Stan is 6.70 sec

Explanation:

given data

time = 1 sec

acceleration= 3.4 m/s²

acceleration = 4.49 m/s²

to find out

the time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

solution

we consider here travel time for kathy = t1

and travel time for stan is = t2

and we know initial velocity = 0

so

t1 = 1 + t2

and distance travel equation by kinematic is

d1 = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ at²

d1 = 0+ $\frac{1}{2}$ 4.49 (t2)² ................1

and

d2 = 0 + $\frac{1}{2}$ 3.4 (1+t2)² ..................2

and when overtake distance same so from equation 1 and 2

$\frac{1}{2}$ 4.49 (t2)² = $\frac{1}{2}$ 3.4 (1+t2)²

t2 = 6.703828 sec

so time at which Kathy overtakes Stan is 6.70 sec

Calculate the electric field at the center of a square

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

Explanation:

Given:

side of a square, $a=52.5\ cm$

charge on one corner of the square, $q_1=+45\times 10^{-6}\ C$

charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square, $q_2=q_3=q_4=-27\times 10^{-6}\ C$

<u>Distance of the center from each corners</u> $=\frac{1}{2} \times diagonals$

$diagonal=\sqrt{52.5^2+52.5^2}$

$diagonal=74.25\cm=0.7425\ m$

∴Distance of center from corners, $b=0.3712\ m$

Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times \frac{q}{b^2}$

<u>For charge $q_1$ we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:</u>

$E_1=9\times 10^9\times \frac{45\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_1=2938775.5\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:</u>

$E_2=E_3=E_4=9\times 10^9\times \frac{27\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_2=E_3=E_4=1763265.3\ N.C^{-1}$

<u> Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:</u>

$E_y=E_1-E_4$

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:</u>

$E_y=E_2-E_3$

$E_y=0\ N.C^{-1}$

So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

lianna [129]

Answer:

<em>A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases. </em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

A merry-go-round spins freely when Diego moves quickly to the center along a radius of the merry-go-round. As he does this, It is true to say that

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

B) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed decreases.

C) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed remains the same.

D) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed increases.

E) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed decreases

In angular momentum conservation, the initial angular momentum of the system is conserved, and is equal to the final angular momentum of the system. The equation of this angular momentum conservation is given as

$I_{1} w_{1} = I_{2} w_{2}$ ....1

where $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ are the initial and final moment of inertia respectively.

and $w_{1}$ and $w_{2}$ are the initial and final angular speed respectively.

Also, we know that the moment of inertia of a rotating body is given as

$I = mr^{2}$ ....2

where $m$ is the mass of the rotating body,

and $r$ is the radius of the rotating body from its center.

We can see from equation 2 that decreasing the radius of rotation of the body will decrease the moment of inertia of the body.

From equation 1, we see that in order for the angular momentum to be conserved, the decrease from $I_{1}$ to $I_{2}$ will cause the angular speed of the system to increase from $w_{1}$ to $w_{2}$ .

From this we can clearly see that reducing the radius of rotation will decrease the moment of inertia, and increase the angular speed.

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.
