A physics student drops a rock from a 55 m cliff, it takes 3.35 seconds to hit the ground.

<u>Solution:</u>

Using the second equation of motion, s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

Where, U= initial velocity of ball

S = distance at which rock is dropped from cliff = 55 m

t = time period

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s

Since the ball is dropped from cliff, initial velocity is zero.

u = 0

\begin{array}{l}{S=0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} 9.8 t^{2}} \\\\ {55=0+4.9 t^{2}} \\\\ {t^{2}=\frac{55}{4.9}=11.22} \\\\ {t=\sqrt{11.22} \approx 3.35 \text { second }}\end{array}

What is the purpose of a reference point?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: <u>To establish a point from which to measure a future distance, or if movement has occurred.</u>

Explanation:

A reference point is a point with respect to which one comes to know whether any movement has occurred or not. A still point is required. When the object changes distance from that point, it means that object has moved. The distance can be calculated from one point to another.

Therefore, A reference point is used to establish a point from which future distance or if movement has occurred is detected.

A small steel wire of diameter 1.0 mm is connected to an oscillator and is under a tension of 7.5 N. The frequency of the oscill
avanturin [10]

Answer:

a

The output power is P= 0.764Watt

b

The Amplitude would decrease by \frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The diameter of the steel wire is = 1.0mm= \frac{1}{1000}  = 1.0*10^{-3}m

    The raduis of this steel wire is r = \frac{1*10^{-3}}{2} = 0.5*10^{-3}m

Now from the question we can deduce that the power output is equal to the power being transmitted by wave on the wire  this is mathematically represented as

                   P = \frac{1}{2} \mu w^2 A^2 v ----(1)

Where \mu is the mass per unit length of the wire

   This is mathematically evaluated as

                      \mu = a* \rho

Where a is the area of the the wire = \pi r^2 = (3.142 * 0.5*10^{-3})^2 =7.855*10^{-7}m^2

         \rho is the density of steel with a generally value of 7850 kg/m^3

  So  

        \mu = 7.855*10^{-7} *7850

           = 6.162*10^{-3}kg/m

          w is velocity of the wave

   This is mathematically evaluated as    

                   w=2 \pi f

substituting  60Hz for f

  We have    

                   w = 2 *3.142 * 60

                      =377.04 \ rad/s

      A is the amplitude with a given value of 0.50 cm = \frac{0.50}{100} = 0.50 *10^{-2}m

          v  is the linear velocity of the wave

  This is mathematically evaluated as    

                  v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

Where T is the tension with a given value of 7.5N

                v = \sqrt{\frac{7.5}{6.162*10^{-3}} }

                  =34.89 m/s

Substituting values into equation 1

       P = 6.162*10^{-3}* 377.04^2 * (0.5*10^{-2})^2 * 34.89

           P= 0.764Watt

Since the doubling of the frequency does not affect the amplitude and  from  equation one the output power  is  \ \frac{1}{2} of the Amplitude, Then the Amplitude would decrease by \frac{1}{2}

Jupiter is made of gas(like Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). What would happen to the strength of gravity if you
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) The strength of gravity decreases if one moved away from Jupiter

b) The strength of gravity increases if one fell into Jupiter

Explanation:

The gravitational attraction is given by Newton law of gravitation as follows;

Force \ (strength) \ of \ gravity = \dfrac{G \times M \times m}{R^2}

Where;

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)

M = The mass of Jupiter

m = The mass of the nearby body

R = The distance between the centers of Jupiter and the body

From the equation, we have that the gravitational strength varies inversely with the square of the separation distance between two bodies

Therefore, as one moves away, R increases, and the strength of gravity reduces

Similarly as the body falls into Jupiter, R, reduces the gravitational strength increases.
