Answer:

The direction will be NE i.e North east.

Explanation:

From the question, it will be travelling in North east direction because the the negative X components in vector is in horizontal direction which is the Eastern direction when using the four cardinal points and the Y components, the positive is in North direction if you use the four cardinal points. Therefore, the vector with both X components and Y components will be travelling in Northeast direction.

The resistance and the magnitude of the current depend on the path that the current takes. The drawing shows three situations in

maria [59]

Answer: (a). Resistance = 0.4286ohms and Current (I) = 7A

(b). Resistance (R) = 0.027 ohms and Current (I) = 111.1A

(c). Resistance (R) = 0.1071 ohms and Current (I) = 28A

Explanation:

From the question, given that;

ρ = 1.5*10-2ῼ.m

Lo = 7cm = 0.07m

V = 3V

From the formula R = ρL/A, where A is the area of cross section, L is the length of material and ρ is the resistivity.

(A)

L = 4Lo and A = 2Lo*Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρ4Lo/(2Lo*Lo)

R = 2ρ /Lo = 2*1.5*10-2/0.07

R = 0.4286 ῼ

From this the current becomes;

I = V/R = 3/ 0.4286 = 6.99 = 7A

(B)

L = Lo and A = 4Lo * 2Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρLo/ (4Lo*2Lo) after eliminating Lo from both sides we get,

R = ρ/8Lo = 1.5*10-2 / 8*0.07

R = 0.027

Current (I) = V/R = 3/0.027 = 111.1A

(C)

L = 2Lo and A = Lo * 4Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρ2Lo/ (Lo*4Lo) eliminating Lo from both sides we get,

R = ρ/2Lo = 1.5*10-2 / 2*0.07 = 0.1071

The current becomes;

I = V/R = 3/0.1071 = 28A

Use this formula to solve this problem:

Maslowich

Well, you gave us the formula to calculate power from work and time,
but you didn't give us the formula for work. We have to know that.

   Work = (force) x (distance)

The work to raise Sara to the top of the hill is

   Work = (300 N) x (15 meters)

   = 4,500 newton-meters = 4,500 joules .

Now we're ready to use the formula that you gave us. (Thank you.)

Power = (work) / (time)

= (4,500 joules) / (10 seconds)

450 joules/second = 450 watts.

You are sitting on a merry-go-round of mass 200 kg and radius 2m that is at rest (not spinning). Your mass is 50 kg. Your friend

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a. $\tau=200J$ b. $\alpha=0.44 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ c. $\alpha=0.33\frac{rad}{s^2}$ d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger.

Explanation:

a. The magnitude of the torque is given by $\tau=rF\sin \theta$ , being r the radius, F the force aplied and $\theta$ the angle between the vector force and the vector radius. Since $\theta=90^{\circ}, \, \sin\theta=1$ and so $\tau=rF=2m100N=200Nm=200J$ .

b. Since the relation $\tau=I\alpha$ hols, being I the moment of inertia, the angular acceleration can be calculated by $\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$ . Since we have already calculated the torque, all left is calculate the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia of a solid disk rotating about an axis that passes through its center is $I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2$ , being M the mass of the disk. If we assume that a person has a punctual mass, the moment of inertia of a person would be given by $I_p=m_pr_p^{2}$ , being $m_p$ the mass of the person and $r_p^{2}$ the distance from the person to the center. Given all of this, we have

$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{\tau}{I_{disk}+I_{person}}=\frac{Fr}{\frac{1}{2}Mr^2+m_pr_p^{2}}=\frac{200Nm}{\frac{1}{2}200kg*4m^2+50kg*1m^2}=\frac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{450Nm^2}\approx 0.44\frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

c. Similar equation to b, but changing $r_p=2m$ , so

$alpha=\dfrac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{\frac{1}{2}200*4kg\,m^2+50*4 kg\,m^2}=\dfrac{200}{600}\dfrac{1}{s^2}\approx 0.33 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger because the moment of inertia of the person is smaller, meaning that the person has less inertia to rotate.
