110 m below the place where it was thrown. A) how long does it take to reach the ground? B) what is the speed of the rock at impact?

B) 48.0 m/s

We can actually start to solve the problem from B for simplicity.

The motion of the rock is a uniformly accelerated motion (free fall), so we can find the final speed using the following suvat equation

$v^2 -u^2 = 2as$

where

$v$ is the final velocity

$u = 12.0$ is the initial velocity (positive since we take downward as positive direction)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

s = 110 m is the vertical displacement

Solving for v, we find the final velocity (and so, the speed of the rock at impact):

$v = \sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{12^2+2(9.8)(110)}=48.0 m/s$

A) 3.67 s

Now we can find the time of flight of the rock by using the following suvat equation

$v=u+at$

where

$v = 48.0$ is the final velocity at the moment of impact

$u = 12.0$ is the initial velocity

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time it takes for the rock to reach the ground

And solving for t, we find

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{48.0-12.0}{9.8}=3.67 s$

A long solenoid has a radius of 4.0 cm and has 800 turns/m. If the current in the solenoid is increasing at the rate of 3.0 A/s,

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of solenoid R = 4cm = 0.04m

Turn per length is N/l = 800 turns/m

The rate at which current is increasing di/dt = 3 A/s

Induced electric field?

At r = 2.2cm=0.022m

µo = 4π × 10^-7 Wb/A•m

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is give as

B = µo•N•I

The value of electric field (E) can

only be a function of the distance r from the solenoid’s axis and it give as,

From gauss law

∮E•dA =qenc/εo

We can find the tangential component of the electric field from Faraday’s law

∮E•dl = −dΦB/dt

We choose the path to be a circle of radius r centered on the cylinder axis. Because all the requested radii are inside the solenoid, the flux-area is the entire πr² area within the loop.

E∮dl = −d/dt •(πr²B)

2πrE = −πr²dB/dt

2πrE = −πr² d/dt(µo•N•I)

2πrE = −πr² × µo•N•dI/dt

Divide both sides by 2πr

E =- ½ r•µo•N•dI/dt

Now, substituting the given data

E = -½ × 0.022 × 4π ×10^-7 × 800 × 3

E = —3.32 × 10^-5 V/m

E = —33.2 µV/m

The magnitude of the electric field at a point 2.2 cm from the solenoid axis is 33.2 µV/m

where the negative sign denotes counter-clockwise electric field when looking along the direction of the solenoid’s magnetic field.

Two semiconductors are identical except that one has a band gap of 1.2 eV, while the other has a band gap of 1.1 eV. The room te

solong [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the relationship given by the intrinsic carrier concentration, in each of the phases.

The intrinsic carrier concentration is the number of electrons in the conduction band or the number of holes in the valence band in intrinsic material. This number of carriers depends on the band gap of the material and on the temperature of the material.

In general, this can be written mathematically as

$\eta_i = \sqrt{N_cN_v}e^{-\frac{E_g}{2KT}}$

Both are identical semiconductor but the difference is band gap which is:

$E_{g1} = 1.1eV$

$n_{i1} = 1*10^{19}m^{-3}$

$E_{g2} = 1.2eV$

$T=300K$

The ratio between the two phases are given as:

$\frac{\eta_{i1}}{\eta_{i2}} = \frac{e^{-\frac{E_{g1}}{2KT}}}{e^{-\frac{E_{g2}}{2KT}}}$

$\frac{\eta_{i1}}{\eta_{i2}} = e^{\frac{E_{g2}-E_{g1}}{2KT}}$

$\frac{\eta_{i1}}{\eta_{i2}} =e^{\frac{(1.2-1.1)(1.6*10^{-19})}{2(1.38*10^{-23})(300)}}$

$\frac{\eta_{i1}}{\eta_{i2}} =e^{-1.932367}$

$\frac{\eta_{i1}}{\eta_{i2}} =0.145$

Therefore the ratio of intrinsic carrier densities for the two materials at room temperature is 0.145

A rock is thrown upward from level ground in such a way that the maximumheight of its flight is equal to its horizontal rangeR.

Ne4ueva [31]

The range of a projectile motion is given by:

$\frac{u_o^2 sin2\theta}{g}$

where, $u$ is the initial speed of the projectile, $\theta$ is the angle of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The maximum height reached is given by:

$\frac{u_o^2 sin^2\theta}{2g}$

Part a

It is given that the maximum height reached is equal to the horizontal range. we need to find the angle of the projectile.

Equating the two:

$\frac{u_o^2 sin2\theta}{g}=\frac{u_o^2 sin^2\theta}{2g}\\ \Rightarrow 2 sin2\theta =sin^2\theta\\ \Rightarrow 2\times 2 sin\theta cos\theta=sin^2 \theta\\ \Rightarrow tan\theta =4\\ \Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}4=75.96^o$

Hence, the projectile was thrown at an initial angle of $\theta=75.96^o$ .

Part b

we need to find the angle for which range would be maximum and then write this maximum range in terms of original range.

So, we know that range is given by:

$R= \frac{u_o^2sin2\theta}{g}$

It would be maximum when $sin2\theta=1\Rightarrow 2\theta=90^o\Rightarrow \theta=45^o$

Hence, $R_{max}=\frac{u_o^2}{g}$

Original range,

$R=\frac{u_o^2sin2\times75.96^o}{g}\\ \Rightarrow R=\frac{u_o^2}{g}\times 0.47\\ \Rightarrow R=R_{max}0.47\\ \Rightarrow R_{max}=2.125R$

Part c:

In the part a, we know that the angle of the projectile is independent of the $g$ i.e. the acceleration due to gravity and this is the only factor that varies with the different planets. Hence, the answer would remain same.
