In fig. 2-27, a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel t

o an x axis. at time t 0, the red car is at xr 0 and the green car is at xg 220 m. if the red car has a constant velocity of 20 km/h, the cars pass each other at x 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of 40 km/h, they pass each other at x 76.6 m.what are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?

Answer:

a) V₀ = 13.5m/s

b) a = 2.1 m/s²

Explanation:

1) Convert velocities to m/s

i) 20 km/h × 1000m/kg × 1h/3600s = 5.556m/s

ii) 40km/h = 11.111m/s

2) Red car, time elapsed to reach position x = 44.5m

Constant velocity ⇒ x = V×t ⇒ t = x / V

⇒ t₁ = 44.5m / 5.556m/s = 8s

3) Red car, time elapsed to reach position x = 77.6m

t₂ = 76.6m / 11.111/s = 6.9s

4) Green car, distance run at t₁ = 8s, x = 44.5m

i) uniform acceleration equation d = V₀t + at² / 2

ii) d = 220m - x = 220m - 44.5m = 175.5m = V₀ (8) + a (8)² /2

175.5 = 8V₀ + 32a ↔ equation (1)

5) Green car, distance run at t₂ = 6.9s, x = 76.6m

i) d = 220m - x = 220m - 76.6m = 143.4

ii) 143.4 = V₀t₂ + at₂² / 2

143.4 = V₀ (6.9) + a(6.9)² / 2

143.4 = 6.9V₀ + 23.8a ↔ equation (2)

6) Solve the system of equations:

175.5 = 8V₀ + 32a ↔ equation (1)

143.4 = 6.9V₀ + 23.8a ↔ equation (2)

V₀ = 13.5m/s

a = 2.1 m/s²

The inductance of a closely packed coil of 560 turns is 8.9 mH. Calculate the magnetic flux through the coil when the current is
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

0.11\times 10^{-6}weber

Explanation:

We have given number of turns N = 560

Inductance L = 8.9 mH

Current through the coil = 7 mA

Inductance of the coil is given as L=\frac{N\Phi }{I}

Where N  is number of turns I is current and \Phi is flux

So \Phi =\frac{LI}{N}=\frac{8.9\times 10^{-3}\times 7\times 10^{-3}}{560}=0.11\times 10^{-6}weber

A river 800m wide flows at the rate of 5km/h . A swimmer who can swim at 10km/h in still water wants to cross the river straight
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

At an angle of 30^{\circ}

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}

The length of a certain wire is kept same while its radius is doubled. what is the new resistivity of this wire?
anastassius [24]
The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.

The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is
\rho =  \frac{AR}{L}
where
\rho is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length

the cross-sectional area is given by
A=\pi r^2
where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find
\rho =  \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is
\rho' =  \frac{\pi r'^2 R}{L'}= \frac{\pi (2r)^2 R}{L}=4  \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}   = 4 \rho
Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.
