Having aced your Physics 2111 class, you get a sweet summer-job working in the International Space Station. Your room-mate, Cosm

onaut Valdimir tosses a banana at you at a speed of 16 m/s. At exactly the same instant, you fling a scoop of ice cream at Valdimir along exactly the same path. The collision between banana and ice cream produces a banana split 8.2 m from your location 1.4 s after the banana and ice cream were launched.
1. How fast did you toss the ice cream?

2. How far were you from Valdimir when you tossed the ice cream?

Answer:

a

The speed is   s =  5.857 m/s

b

The distance is  D = 22.4  \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the banana is  v =  16 \ m/s

   The distance from my  location is  d =  8.2  \ m  

     The time taken is  t = 1.4 \ s

The speed of the ice cream is

          s =  \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

        s =  \frac{8.4}{1.4}

        s =  5.857 m/s

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

   So  

          D =  v * t

substituting values

        D = 16 *  1.4

        D = 22.4  \  m

A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 0.40 m2 and plate separation of 0.20 mm. The capacitor is connected to a 9.0 V bat
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

a) E = 4.5*10⁴ V/m

b) C= 17.7 nF

c) Q = 159. 3 nC  

Explanation:

a)

  • By definition, the electric field is the electrostatic force per unit charge, and since the potential difference between plates is just the work done by the field, divided by the charge, assuming a uniform electric field, if V is the potential difference between plates, and d is the separation between plates, the electric field can be expressed as follows:

       E = \frac{V}{d} = \frac{9.0V}{2*10-4m} =4.5 * 10e4 V/m (1)

b)

  • For a parallel-plate capacitor, applying the definition of capacitance as the quotient between the charge on one of the plates and the potential difference between them, and assuming a uniform surface charge density σ, we get:

       Q = \sigma* A (2)

        From (1), we know that V = E*d, but at the same time, applying Gauss'

        Law at a closed surface half within the plate, half outside it , it can be

        showed than E= σ/ε₀, so finally we get:

       C = \frac{Q}{V} =\frac{\sigma*A}{E*d}  = \frac{\sigma*A}{\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_{o} } d} =\frac{\epsilon_{0}*A}{d} = \frac{8.85e-12F/m*0.4m2}{2e-4m} = 17.7 nF (3)

c)    

  • From (3) we can solve for Q as follows:

       Q = C* V = 17.7 nF * 9.0 V = 159.3 nC  (4)

On a horizontal frictionless surface a mass M is attached to two light elastic strings both having length l and both made of the
EastWind [94]

Answer:

ω = √(2T / (mL))

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the mass.  There are two tension forces, one pulling down and left, the other pulling down and right.

The x-components of the tension forces cancel each other out, so the net force is in the y direction:

∑F = -2T sin θ, where θ is the angle from the horizontal.

For small angles, sin θ ≈ tan θ.

∑F = -2T tan θ

∑F = -2T (Δy / L)

(b) For a spring, the restoring force is F = -kx, and the frequency is ω = √(k/m).  (This is derived by solving a second order differential equation.)

In this case, k = 2T/L, so the frequency is:

ω = √((2T/L) / m)

ω = √(2T / (mL))

on the surface of planet x a body with a mass of 10 kilograms weighs 40 newtons. The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravit
tamaranim1 [39]
Based on the Newton's second law of motion, the value of the net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. If we let a be the acceleration due to gravity, the equation that would allow us to calculate it's value is,
      W = m x a
where W is weight, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Substituting the known values,
    40 kg m/s² = (10 kg) x a
Calculating for the value of a from the equation will give us an answer equal to 4. 
ANSWER: 4 m/s².

Reil [10]

Answer:

Speed; v = 17 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Radius; r = 110m

Angle; θ = 15°

Now, we know that in circular motion,

v² = rg•tanθ

Thus,

v = √(rg•tanθ)

Where,

v is velocity

r is radius

g is acceleration due to gravity

θ is the angle

Thus,

v = √(rg•tanθ) = √(110 x 9.8•tan15)

v = √(288.85)

v = 17 m/s
