An apple is initially sitting on the bottom shelf of a pantry. A hungry physics student picks up the apple to eat it, but change

s her mind and puts the apple down on a shelf somewhere above its original location. During this process, the total work done on the apple by all forces is:

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Work done is given by multiplying force and distance moved. The distance is moved both positive and negative and it's equal distance. Since force used is the same hence work

W=F*d+ (F*-d)=0

Therefore, total work done is zero

A ball is thrown up into the air with an initial velocity of 18 m/s. A) How high does the ball go? B) Calculate the time needed
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B) t = 1.83 [s]

A) y = 16.51 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} -g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vo = initial velocity = 18 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign in the above equation means that the acceleration of gravity is acting in the opposite direction to the motion.

A) The maximum height is reached when the final velocity of the ball is zero.

0 = 18 - (9.81*t)

9.81*t = 18

t = 18/9.81

t = 1.83 [s], we found the answer for B.

Now using the following equation.

y = y_{o} + v_{o}*t - 0.5*g*t^{2}\\

where:

y = elevation [m]

Yo = initial elevation = 0

y = 18*(1.83) - 0.5*9.81*(1.83)²

y = 16.51 [m]

After the collapse of a nebular cloud, atoms begin gravitating together to form a condensed center. What happens next in the sta
ELEN [110]
Well, first of all, I don't think "After the collapse of a nebular cloud ..."
is the first time that "atoms begin gravitating together".  Seems to me like
that's what was going on all the time, and it's what caused the nebular cloud
to collapse in the first place.

In any case, once the pressure and temperature at the center get high enough,
you get "ignition" of nuclear fusion, and that's when you first have a "star".

A long, thin solenoid has 450 turns per meter and a radius of 1.06 . The current in the solenoid is increasing at a uniform rate
kirill115 [55]

Answer:9.34 A/s

Explanation:

Given

radius of solenoid R=1.06 m

Emf induced E=8.50\times 10^{-6} V/m

no of turns per meter n=450

we know Induced EMF is given by

\int Edl=-\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi}{\mathrm{d} t}=-\frac{\mathrm{d} B}{\mathrm{d} t}A

Magnetic Field is given by

B=\mu _0ni

thus \frac{\mathrm{d} B}{\mathrm{d} t}=-\mu _0n\frac{\mathrm{d} i}{\mathrm{d} t}

Area of cross-section

A=\pi R^2 where

solving integration we get

E.\cdot 2\pi r=\mu _0n\frac{\mathrm{d} i}{\mathrm{d} t}\pi R^2

where r=distance from axis

R=radius of Solenoid

\frac{\mathrm{d} i}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{Er}{\mu _0nR^2}

\frac{\mathrm{d} i}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{8.50\times 10^{-6}\times 3.49\times 10^{-2}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 1.06^2}

\frac{\mathrm{d} i}{\mathrm{d} t}=9.34 A/s
