Classes are canceled due to snow, so you take advantage of the extra time to conduct some physics experiments. You fasten a larg

e toy rocket to the back of a sled and take the modified sled to a large, flat, snowy field. You ignite the rocket and observe that the sled accelerates from rest in the forward direction at a rate of 14.5 m/s2 for a time period of 3.10 s. After this time period, the rocket engine abruptly shuts off, and the sled subsequently undergoes a constant backward acceleration due to friction of 5.65 m/s2.
After the rocket turns off, how much time does it take for the sled to come to a stop?time: ____sBy the time the sled finally comes to a rest, how far has it traveled from its starting point?distance traveled: ____m

Answer:

Time : <u>7.96 s</u>

Distance Traveled : <u>357.8 m</u>

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we first consider the accelerated motion of rocket. We will be using the subscript 1 for accelerated motion.

So, for accelerated motion, we have:

Acceleration = a₁ = 14.5 m/s²

Time Period = t₁ = 3.1 s

Initial Velocity = Vi₁ = 0 m/s (Since, it starts from rest)

Final Velocity = Vf₁

Distance covered by sled during acceleration motion = s₁

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + (a₁)(t₁)

Vf₁ = 0 m/s + (14.5 m/s²)(3.1 s)

Vf₁ = 44.95 m/s

Now, using 2nd equation of motion:

s₁ = (Vi₁)(t) + (0.5)(a₁)(t₁)

s₁ = (0 m/s)(3.1 s) + (0.5)(14.5 m/s²)(3.1 s)

s₁ = 22.5 m

Now, we first consider the decelerated motion of rocket. We will be using the subscript 2 for decelerated motion.

So, for accelerated motion, we have:

Deceleration = a₂ = - 5.65 m/s²

Time Period = t₂ = ?

Initial Velocity = Vi₂ = Vf₁ = 44.95 m/s (Since, decelerate motion starts, where accelerated motion ends)

Final Velocity = Vf₂ = 0 m/s (Since, rocket will eventually stop)

Distance covered by sled during deceleration motion = s₂

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf₂ = Vi₂ + (a₂)(t₂)

0 m/s = 44.95 m/s + (- 5.65 m/s²)(t₂)

t₂ = (44.95 m/s)/(5.65 m/s²)

<u>t₂ = 7.96 s</u>

Now, using 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = (Vi₂)(t₂) + (0.5)(a₂)(t₂)

s₂ = (44.95 m/s)(7.96 s) + (0.5)(- 5.65 m/s²)(7.96 s)

s₂ = 357.8 m - 22.5 m

s₂ = 335.3 m

Thus, the total distance covered by sled will be:

Total Dustance = S = s₁ + s₂

S = 22.5 m + 335.3 m

<u>S = 357.8 m</u>

Suppose the original segment of wire is stretched to 10 times its original length. How much charge must be added to the wire to

Debora [2.8K]

Here we want to study how the linear charge density changes as we change the measures of our body.

We will find that we need to add 9*Q of charge to keep the linear charge density unchanged.

<em>I will take two assumptions:</em>

The charge is homogeneous, so the density is constant all along the wire.

As we work with a linear charge density we work in one dimension, so the wire "has no radius"

Originally, the wire has a charge Q and a length L.

The linear charge density will be given by:

λ = Q/L

Now the length of the wire is stretched to 10 times the original length, so we have:

L' = 10*L

We want to find the value of Q' such that λ' (the <u>linear density of the stretched wire</u>) is still equal to λ.

Then we will have:

λ' = Q'/L' = Q'/(10*L) = λ = Q/L

Q'/(10*L) = Q/L

Q'/10 = Q

Q' = 10*Q

So the new <u>charge must be 10 times the original charge</u>, this means that we need to add 9*Q of charge to keep the linear charge density unchanged.

Explain what happens to the energy in a group in a system if one object loses energy according to the Law of Conservation of Ene

konstantin123 [22]

energy never disappears, for example, if you give some kinetic energy to a ball and it stops few seconds later, friction steals this energy to ground which ball was going on. "Law of Conservation of Energy" tell us that energy can't disappear

A solenoidal coil with 26 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 350 turns. The inner solenoid is 20.0 cm long

noname [10]

Answer:

Part a)

$\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2$

Part B)

$M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H$

Part C)

$EMF = 0.1 V/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

Magnetic field due to a long ideal solenoid is given by

$B = \mu_0 n i$

n = number of turns per unit length

$n = \frac{N}{L}$

$n = \frac{350}{0.20}$

$n = 1750 turn/m$

now we know that magnetic field due to solenoid is

$B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(1750)(0.100)$

$B = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} T$

Now magnetic flux due to this magnetic field is given by

$\phi = B.A$

$\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi r^2)$

$\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi(0.02)^2)$

$\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2$

Part B)

Now for mutual inductance we know that

$\phi_{total} = M i$

$\phi_{total} = N\phi$

$\phi_{total} = 20(2.76 \times 10^{-4})$

$\phi_{total} = 5.52 \times 10^{-6}$

now we have

$M = \frac{5.52 \times 10^{-6}}{0.100}$

$M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H$

Part C)

As we know that induced EMF is given as

$EMF = M \frac{di}{dt}$

$EMF = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} (1800)$

$EMF = 0.1 V/s$
