A space vehicle is traveling at 2980 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

3054.4 km/h

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum

momentum before separation = 5M × 2980 Km/h where M represent the mass of the module while 4 M represent the mass of the motor

initial momentum = 14900 M km/h

let v be the new speed of the motor so that the

new momentum = 4Mv and the new momentum of the module = M ( v + 94 km/h )

total momentum = 4Mv + Mv + 93 M = 5 Mv + 93M

initial momentum = final momentum

14900 M km/h = 5 Mv + 93M

14900 km/h = 5v + 93

14900 - 93 = 5v

v = 2961.4 km/h

the speed of the module = 2961.4 + 93 = 3054.4 km/h

Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s

nlexa [21]

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, $y_{m} = 8.4\ cm$

Wavelength, $\lambda = 5.3\ cm$

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

$v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega$

where

$\omega = 2\pi f$ = angular speed of the particle

Thus

$v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}$

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

$v = f\lambda$

Now,

The ratio is given by:

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}$

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95$

An elastic conducting material is stretched into a circular loop of 9.65 cm radius. It is placed with its plane perpendicular to

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The induced emf in the coil is 0.522 volts.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular loop, r = 9.65 cm

It is placed with its plane perpendicular to a uniform 1.14 T magnetic field.

The radius of the loop starts to shrink at an instantaneous rate of 75.6 cm/s , $\dfrac{dr}{dt}=-0.756\ m/s$

Due to the shrinking of radius of the loop, an emf induced in it. It is given by :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{-d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=B\dfrac{-d(\pi r^2)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=2\pi rB\dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=2\pi \times 9.65\times 10^{-2}\times 1.14\times 0.756\\\\\epsilon=0.522\ V$

So, the induced emf in the coil is 0.522 volts.
