Answer:

D. 2^(3/2)

Explanation:

Given that

T² = A³

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet Y be x

Therefore,

T(Y)² = x³

T(Y) = x^(3/2)

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet X be x/2

Therefore,

T(Y)² = (x/2)³

T(Y) = (x/2)^(3/2)

The factor of increase from planet X to planet Y is:

T(Y) / T(X) = x^(3/2) / (x/2)^(3/2)

T(Y) / T(X) = (2)^(3/2)

Show that the energy of a magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B is U--m B

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

showm

Explanation:

Consider a dipole having magnetic moment 'm' is placed in magnetic field $\vec{B}$ then the torque exerted by the field on the dipole is

$\tau = m\times B$

$\tau=mBsin\alpha$

Now to rotate the dipole in the field to its final position the work required to be done is

$U=\int \tau d\alpha$

$U=\int mBsin\alpha d\alpha$

$U= -mBcos\alpha$

$U=-\vec{m\times \vec{B}}$

Minimum energy mB is for the case when m is anti parallel to B.

Minimum energy -mB is for the case when m is parallel to B.

the 200 g baseball has a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s when it is struck by the bat, B, weighing 900 g, moving at 47 m/s. during

Ivanshal [37]

Solution :

Given :

Mass of the baseball, m = 200 g

Velocity of the baseball, u = -30 m/s

Mass of the baseball after struck by the bat, M = 900 g

Velocity of the baseball after struck by the bat, v = 47 m/s

According to the conservation of momentum,

$Mv+mu=Mv_1+mv_2$

(900 x 47) + (200 x -30) = (900 x $v_1$ ) + (200 x $v_2$ )

36300 = (900 x $v_1$ ) + (200 x $v_2$ )

$9v_1 + 2v_2 = 363$ ..............(i)

$9v_1 = 363 - 2v_2$

$v_1=\frac{363 - 2v_2}{9}$

The mathematical expression for the conservation of kinetic energy is

$\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$

$\frac{1}{2}(900)(47)^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)(-30)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900)v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)v_2^2$ ................(ii)

$(9)(14)^2+(2)(-30)^2 = (9)v_1^2+2v_2^2$

$21681 = 9v_1^2+2v_2^2$

Substituting (i) in (ii)

$21681= 9\left( \frac{363-2v_2}{9}\right)^2+2v_2^2$

$(363-2v_2)^2+18v_2^2=195129$

$(363)^2+18v_2^2-2(363)(2v_2)+(363)^2-195129=0$

$22v_2^2-145v_2-63360=0$

Solving the equation, we get

$v_2=96 \ m/s, -30 \ m/s$

The negative velocity is neglected.

Therefore, substituting 96 m/s for $v_2$ in (i), we get

$v_1=\frac{363-(2 \times 96)}{9}$

= 19

Thus, only impulse of importance is used to find final velocity.

On a horizontal surface is located

Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that

80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N) → <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is

40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N) → <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)
