Positive because the ball is falling downwards.
Work done(Wd)= force x distance travelled in the direction of the force,
Wd=(2x9.8)x1.5

Three long wires are connected to a meter stick and hang down freely. Wire 1 hangs from the 50-cm mark at the center of the mete

disa [49]

Answer:

Three long wires are connected to a meter stick and hang down freely. Wire 1 hangs from the 50-cm mark at the center of the meter stick and carries 1.50 A of current upward. Wire 2 hangs from the 70-cm mark and carries 4.00 A of current downward. Wire 3 is to be attached to the meterstick and to carry a specific current, and we want to attach it at a location that results ineach wire experiencing no net force.

(a) Determine the position of wire 3.

b) Determine the magnitude and direction of current in wire 3

Explanation:

a) $F_{net} \text {on wire }3=0$

$\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_3}{2 \pi x} = \frac{\mu I_2 I_3}{2 \pi (0.2+x)} \\\\\frac{1.5}{x} =\frac{4}{0.2+x} \\\\0.03+1.5x=4x\\\\x=0.012m\\\\=1.2cm$

position of wire = 50 - 1.2

= 48.8cm

b) $F_{net} \text {on wire }1=0$

$\frac{\mu _0 I_1 I_3}{2 \pi (1.2)} = \frac{\mu _0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi (20)} \\\\\frac{I_3}{1.2} =\frac{4}{20} \\\\I_3=0.24A$

Direction ⇒ downward

The winch takes in cable at the constant rate of 130 mm/s. if the cylinder mass is 115 kg, determine the tension in cable 1. neg

nikitadnepr [17]

By applying Newton's second law of motion;

ma = mg - T

Where,
m = mass; a = downward accelerations (+ve value) or upward acceleration (-ve value); g = gravitational acceleration; T = tension.

For the current case, the velocity is constant therefore,
a = 0

Then,
0 = mg - T
T = mg = 115*9.81 = 1128.15 N

Tension in the cable is 1128.15 N.

If kinetic energy of a body is decreased by 10percent then decrease in linear momentum of that body

algol [13]

Answer:

E = 1/2 M V^2 = 1/2 P V since P = M V

E2 / E1 = P2 V2 / (P1 V1)

P2 / P1 = E2 V1 / (E1 V2) = V2^2 V1 / (V1^2 V2) = V2 / V1

E2 / E1 = V2^2 / V1^2

V2 / V1 = (E2 / E1)^1/2

V2 / V1 = (.9)1/2 = .95

The linear momentum would have to decrease by 5%

A 0.38 kg drinking glass is filled with a hot liquid. The liquid transfers 7032 J of energy to the glass. If the

kaheart [24]

Answer:

841 J/kg.K

Explanation:

The computation of the specific hear of the glass is shown below:

As we know that

E= cmΔt

where

c denotes specific heat

m denotes 0.38 kg

Δt = temperature = 22k

E denotes energy = 7032 J

Now

7032 J = (0.38) (22) (c)

7032 J = 8.36 (c)

So C = 7032 J ÷ 8.36

= 841 J/kg.K
