gregori [183]

Complete Question

The diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The distance the block slides before stopping is $d = 0.313 \ m$

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the diagram in the question is shown

From the diagram the angle is $\theta = 25 ^o$

$sin \theta = \frac{h}{d}$

Where $h = h_b - h_a$

So $d sin \theta = h_b - h_a$

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m = 20 \ kg$

The mass of the pendulum is $m_p = 2 \ kg$

The velocity of the pendulum at the bottom of swing is $v_p = 15 m/s$

The coefficient of restitution is $e =0.7$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu _k = 0.5$

The velocity of the block after the impact is mathematically represented as

$v_2 f = \frac{m_b - em_p}{m_b + m_p} * v_2 i + \frac{[1 + e] m_1}{m_1 + m_2 } v_p$

Where $v_2 i$ is the velocity of the block before collision which is 0

$= \frac{20 - (0.7 * 2)}{(2 + 20)} * 0 + \frac{(1 + 0.7) * 2 }{2 + 20} * 15$

Substituting value

$v_2 f = 2.310\ m/s$

According to conservation of energy principle

The energy at point a = energy at point b

So $PE_A + KE _A = PE_B + KE_B + E_F$

Where

$PE_A$ is the potential energy at A which is mathematically represented as

$PE_A = m_b gh_a$ = 0 at the bottom

$KE _A$ is the kinetic energy at A which is mathematically represented as

$K_A = \frac{1}{2} m_b * v_2f^2$

$PE_B$ is the potential energy at B which is mathematically represented as

$PE_B = m_b gh$

From the diagram $h = h_b -h_a$

$PE_B = m_b g(h_b - h_a)$

$KE _B$ is the kinetic energy at B which is 0 (at the top )

Where is $E_F$ is the workdone against velocity which from the diagram is

$\mu_k m_b g cos 25 *d$

So

$\frac{1}{2} m_b v_2 f^2 = m_b g h_b + \mu_k m_b g cos \25 * d$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} * 20 * 2.310^2 = 20 * 9.8 * d sin(25) + 0.5* 20 * 9.8 * cos 25 * d$

So

$d = 0.313 \ m$

2) Two railway tracks are parallel to west east direction. Along one track, train A moves with a speed of 45 m/s from

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

$Relative\ Velocity = 105m/s$

Explanation:

Given

$V_A = 45m/s$

$V_B = 60m/s$

Required

Determine the speed of B w.r.t A

The question implies that, we determine the relative velocity of B w.r.t A

Because both trains are moving towards one another, the required velocity is a $sum\ of\ velocities\ of$ both trains:

This is shown below:

$Relative\ Velocity = V_A + V_B$

$Relative\ Velocity = 45m/s + 60m/s$

$Relative\ Velocity = 105m/s$

The electric field in a region of space increases from 0 to 2150 N/C in 5.00 s. What is the magnitude of the induced magnetic fi

Feliz [49]

To solve this problem we will use the Ampere-Maxwell law, which describes the magnetic fields that result from a transmitter wire or loop in electromagnetic surveys. According to Ampere-Maxwell law:

$\oint \vec{B}\vec{dl} = \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}$

Where,

B= Magnetic Field

l = length

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability

$\epsilon_0$ = Vacuum permittivity

Since the change in length (dl) by which the magnetic field moves is equivalent to the perimeter of the circumference and that the electric flow is the rate of change of the electric field by the area, we have to

$B(2\pi r) = \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{d(EA)}{dt}$

Recall that the speed of light is equivalent to

$c^2 = \frac{1}{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}$

Then replacing,

$B(2\pi r) = \frac{1}{C^2} (\pi r^2) \frac{d(E)}{dt}$

$B = \frac{r}{2C^2} \frac{dE}{dt}$

Our values are given as

$dE = 2150N/C$

$dt = 5s$

$C = 3*10^8m/s$

$D = 0.440m \rightarrow r = 0.220m$

Replacing we have,

$B = \frac{r}{2C^2} \frac{dE}{dt}$

$B = \frac{0.220}{2(3*10^8)^2} \frac{2150}{5}$

$B =5.25*10^{-16}T$

Therefore the magnetic field around this circular area is $B =5.25*10^{-16}T$
