If you want to tell a friend about a fish you caught or a tree you cut down,
you're going to tell him WHERE you were ... its position in space, 3 numbers,
'x', 'y', and 'z' ... and also WHEN you were ... its position in time, one more
number.
Dimensions are numbers used to describe the location of a point, and the
difference in location between two points. With four numbers, you can exactly
describe the location of anything, and its distance from any other thing, in
space and time.
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) F = (-kx + kx³/a²)
intensity of field
I = F / m
= (-kx + kx³/a²) / m
If U be potential function
- dU / dx = (-kx + kx³/a²) / m
U(x) = ∫ (kx - kx³/a²) / m dx
= k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)
b )
For equilibrium points , U is either maximum or minimum .
dU / dx = x - 4x³/4a² = 0
x = ± a.
dU / dx = x - x³/a²
Again differentiating
d²U / dx² = 1 - 3x² / a²
Put the value of x = ± a.
we get
d²U / dx² = -2 ( negative )
So at x = ± a , potential energy U is maximum.
c )
U = k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)
When x =0 , U = 0
When x= ± a.
U is maximum
So the shape of the U-x curve is like a bowl centered at x = 0
d ) Maximum potential energy
put x = a or -a in
U(max) = k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)
= k/m ( a² / 2 - a⁴/4a²)
= k/m ( a² / 2 - a²/4)
a²k / 4m
This is the maximum total energy where kinetic energy is zero.
Answer:
if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.
Explanation:
The air in the tube can be considered an ideal gas,
P V = nR T
In that case we have the tube in the air where the pressure is P1 = P_atm, then we introduce the tube to the water to a depth H
For pressure the open end of the tube is
P₂ = P_atm + ρ g H
Let's write the gas equation for the colon
P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂
P_atm V₁ = (P_atm + ρ g H) V₂
V₂ = V₁ P_atm / (P_atm + ρ g h)
If the air obeys Boyle's law e; volume within the had must decrease due to the increase in pressure, if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.
The main assumption is that the temperature during the experiment does not change
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
- mass of 1 skier,
- inclination of hill,
- length of inclined slope,
- time taken to reach the top of hill,
- coefficient of friction,
<em>Now, force normal to the inclined plane:</em>
<em>Frictional force:</em>
<em>The component of weight along the inclined plane:</em>
<em>Now the total force required along the inclination to move at the top of hill:</em>
<em>Hence the work done:</em>
<em>Now power:</em>
<u>So, power required for 30 such bodies:</u>
Answer:
F = 1.0178 × 10^(-2) dyne
Explanation:
From stokes law, the viscous force also known as drag force on rain drop is given by the formula;
F = 6πηrv
Where;
η is viscosity
r is radius
v is velocity
We are given;
η = 18 × 10^(-5) poise
r = 0.3 mm = 0.03 cm
v = 1 m/s = 100 cm/s
Thus;
F = 6π × 18 × 10^(-5) × 0.03 × 100
F = 1.0178 × 10^(-2) dyne
