Answer:

a. 14.68m/s

b. 1.043N

Explanation:

a.

Given

Mass = m = 144g = 0.144kg

Height = h = 11m

Using energy conservation,

½mv² = mgh where g = 9.8m/s² ----- divide both sides by m

½v² = gh ---- divide both sides by ½

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 * 9.8 * 11)

v = 14.68332387438212m/s

v = 14.68m/s ----- Approximated

b.

v = 7.5m/s

By definition, “the average force of air resistance,”

When work done against air resistance is solved by multiplying height by the average force of resistance ------ by definition

i.e. W = -Fh

Minus is used because F and h points to different direction (when viewed as vectors).

This is proved by:

W = Fhcos(180) because h points toward the direction of motion (downward) while F points opposite.

W = Fh * -1

W = Fh

Using energy conservation,

mgh - Fh = ½mv² ---- Make Fh, the subject of formula

Fh = mgh - ½mv² ---- Divide through by h

F = mg - mv²/2h

F = 0.144 * 9.8 - 0.144 * 7.5²/(2 * 11)

F = 1.043N

A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp.

Genrish500 [490]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp = 39.78 m/s

b) Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp with 7° above the horizontal = 23.93 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

a) The height of ramp = 1.5 meter

Horizontal distance he must clear = 22 meter

The car is having horizontal motion and vertical motion. In case of vertical motion the acceleration on the car is acceleration due to gravity.

We have equation of motion, $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In case of vertical motion initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate time when displacement = 1.5 meter.

$1.5=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 0.553 seconds$

So the car has to cover a distance of 22 meter in 2.119 seconds.

So minimum speed required = 22/0.553 = 39.78 m/s

Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp = 39.78 m/s

b) When the take of angle is 7⁰ the vertical speed of car is not zero = V sin 7 = 0.122 V

So the in case of vertical motion we have initial velocity = 0.122 V, S = -1.5 meter( below ramp), acceleration = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$-1.5=0.122V*t-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2-0.122Vt-1.5=0$

In case of horizontal motion

Horizontal speed of car = V cos 7 = 0.993V

So it has to travel 22 meter in t seconds

0.993Vt = 22, Vt = 22.155 m

Substituting in the equation $4.9t^2-0.122Vt-1.5=0$

We will get $4.9t^2-0.122*22.155-1.5=0\\ \\ t = 0.926 seconds$

Speed required = 22.155/0.926 = 23.93 m/s

Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp with 7° above the horizontal = 23.93 m/s

Resolving power of a telescope whose objective lens has diameter 1.22m for a wavelength 4000 Å.

Mamont248 [21]

$\sf \huge \purple{ Answer : - }$

Diameter of objective lens = 1.22m

Wavelength of light = 4000Å

We have to find resolving power of telescope ..

★ Resolving power of telescope is given by

RP = D/1.22λ

D denotes diameter of lens
λ denotes wavelength of light

RP = D/1.22λ

RP = (1.22×10⁷)/(1.22×4)

RP = 0.25 × 10⁷

RP = 2.5 × 10⁶

★ Resolving power of microscope is given by

RP = 2μsinθ/λ

Choose the 200 kg refrigerator. set the applied force to 400 n (to the right). be sure friction is turned off. what is the net f

Firlakuza [10]

The net force acting on the refrigerator is 400 N to the right.

<h3></h3><h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>

The net force or resultant force is the sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object in x and y axes.

Forces along the y-axis The forces that usually act on an object vertically (in the y-axis) are: gravitational force which is a downward force and the normal force which is an upward (perpendicular) force exerted by a surface on an object resting above it that keeps the object from falling.
Forces along the x-axis These include the force or forces applied to cause a left or right motion of an object along the horizontal plane (called the Applied Force) and the force that opposes the motion or friction.

In this problem the forces acting on the x and y - axes can be determined:

Along the x-axis:

gravitational force = -1960 N
normal force = +1960 N
Net force = -1960 N + 1960 N = 0

The gravitational force is the weight of the object obtained by multiplying the mass of the object (in kg) with the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s^2. It is given a negative (-) sign to indicate that it is a downward force.

Since the object is not falling through the surface, it can be assumed that the gravitational force and normal force are balanced. Hence, the size of the normal force is the same as the gravitational force but with the opposite direction indicated by the + sign for an upward force.

The forces along the x-axis are balanced (i.e. net force is zero) so the object neither moves upward or downward.

Along the y-axis

applied force = +400 N
friction = 0
Net force = +400 N + 0 = +400 N

The applied force is +400 N. It is given a + sign to indicate that its direction is to the right.

The friction, as mentioned in the problem, is set to zero or "turned off".

The net force along the y-axis is +400. The forces are unbalanced so the object will move to the right as force is applied to it.
