A girl rides her bike 5.4 km due east. While riding she experiences a resistive force from the air that has a magnitude of 3.1 N

and points due west. She then turns around and rides due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 3.3 N and points due east.?

Answer:

(A) = 34,560 J

(B) Work done during the round trip is not zero, hence the resistive force is not a conservative force.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A girl rides her bike 5.4 km due east. While riding she experiences a resistive force from the air that has a magnitude of 3.1 N and points due west. She then turns around and rides due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 3.3 N and points due east.? (a) Find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip. (b) Based on your answer to part (a), is the resistive force a conservative force? Explain.

SOLUTION:

distance covered by the girl due east (De) = 5.4 km = 5400 m

magnitude of resistive force by the air (Fw) = 3.1 N due west

distance covered by the girl due west (Dw) = 5.4 km = 5400 m

magnitude of resistive force by the air (Fe) = 3.3 N due east

(A) to find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip we have to get the work done by the resistive force due west and add it to the work done by the resistive force due east

  • work done by the resistive force due west = (Fw.cosθ) x De

        where θ is the angle between the displacement and the force. The    

        displacement is due east while the force is due west, hence θ = 180°

       work done (W1) = (3.1 x cos 180) x 5400 = -16,740 j

  • work done by the resistive force due east = (Fe.cosθ) x Dw

        where θ is the angle between the displacement and the force. The    

        displacement is due west while the force is due east, hence θ = 180°

       work done (W2) = (3.3 x cos 180) x 5400 = -17,820 j

Hence work done during the round trip = W1 + W2 = (-16,740 ) + (-17,820)

= 34,560 J

(B) A conservative force is a force in which the work done by the force in moving an object around a closed path is zero. From part (A) above the work done during the round trip is not zero, hence the resistive force is not a conservative force.

What is E of a hydrogen atom in the 3p state?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

E=-1.51 eV.

L=\hbar\sqrt{2}

Explanation:

The nth level energy of a hydrogen atom is defined by the formula,

E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{n^{2} }

Given in the question, the hydrogen atom is in the 3p state.

Then energy of n=3 state is,

E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{(3)^{2} }\\E_{n}=-1.51eV

Therefore, energy of the hydrogen atom in the 3p state is -1.51 eV.

Now, the value of L can be calculated as,

L=\hbar\sqrt{l(l+1)}

For 3p state, l=1

L=\hbar\sqrt{1(1+1)}\\L=\hbar\sqrt{2}

Therefore, the value of L of a hydrogen atom in 3p state is L=\hbar\sqrt{2}.

5. 3 women push a stalled car. Each woman pushes with a 400N force. What is the mass of the car if the car accelerates at 0.85 m
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

<h2>470.59 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The the mass of the car can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{400}{0.85}  \\  = 470.58823...

We have the final answer as

<h3>470.59 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
