Answer:

Explanation:

When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.

As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.

1.An elevator is ascending with constant speed of 10 m/s. A boy in the elevator throws a ball upward at 20 m/ a from a height of
laiz [17]

(a) The maximum height reached by the ball from the ground level is 75.87m

(b) The time taken for the ball to return to the elevator floor is 2.21 s

<u>The given parameters include:</u>

  • constant velocity of the elevator, u₁ = 10 m/s
  • initial velocity of the ball, u₂ = 20 m/s
  • height of the boy above the elevator floor, h₁ = 2 m
  • height of the elevator above the ground, h₂ = 28 m

To calculate:

(a) the maximum height of the projectile

total initial velocity of the projectile = 10 m/s + 20 m/s  = 30 m/s (since the elevator is ascending at a constant speed)

at maximum height the final velocity of the projectile (ball), v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the maximum height of the projectile.

v^2 = u^2 + 2(-g)h_3\\\\where;\\\\g \ is \ the \ acceleration \ due \ to\  gravity = 9.81 \ m/s^2\\\\h_3 \ is \ maximum \ height \ reached \ by \ the \ ball \ from \ the \ point \ of \ projection\\\\0 = u^2 -2gh_3\\\\2gh_3 = u^2 \\\\h_3 = \frac{u^2}{2g} \\\\h_3 = \frac{(30)^2}{2\times 9.81} \\\\h_3 = 45.87 \ m

The maximum height reached by the ball from the ground level (h) = height of the elevator from the ground level + height of he boy above the elevator + maximum height reached by elevator from the point of projection

h = h₁ + h₂ + h₃

h = 28 m + 2 m  +  45.87 m

h = 75.87 m

(b) The time taken for the ball to return to the elevator floor

Final height of the ball above the elevator floor = 2 m + 45.87 m = 47.87 m

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the time to return to the elevator floor.

h = vt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\where;\\\\v \ is \ the \ initial \ velocity \ of \ the \ ball \ at \ the \ maximum \ height = 0\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\gt^2 = 2h\\\\t^2 = \frac{2h}{g} \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 47.87}{9.81}} \\\\t = 2.21 \ s

Suppose you wish to construct a motor that produces a maximum torque whose magnitude is 1.7 × 10-2 N·m. The coil of the motor ha
Len [333]

Answer:

86 turns

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Magnetic torque, τ = 1.7 * 10^(-2) Nm

Area of coil, A = 9 * 10^(-4) m²

Current in coil, I = 1.1 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.2 T

The magnetic toque is given mathematically as:

τ = N * I * A * B

Where N = number of turns

To find the number of turns, we make N subject of formula:

N = τ/(I * A * B)

Therefore:

N = (1.7 * 10^(-2)) / (1.1 * 9 * 10^(-4) * 0.2)

N = 85.85 = 86 turns (whole number)

The number of turns must be 86.

A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing a
blsea [12.9K]

We have that the electric field at the center of the metal ball due only to the charges on the surface of the metal ball is

E=7*10^{9}N/C

From the question we are told that

A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm

bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing

uniformly distributed charge of -7 nC

The distance between the centers of the balls is 9 cm

Generally the equation for the electric field  is mathematically given as

E=\frac{kq_2}{d^2}\\\\E=\frac{(9*10^9)7*10^{-2}}{9*10^{-2}}\\\\

E=7*10^{9}N/C

The equation P^xV^yT^z= constant is Boyle law for what is the values of x,y,z​
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 1 and z = 0

Explanation:

Given equation;

P^x V^y T^z = constant

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Mathematically the law is written as;

PV = constant

From the given equation, the values of x, y and z that will match this law is calculated as follows;

P^1 V^1 T^0 = constant\\\\P^1 = P\\\\V^1 = V\\\\T^0 = 1\\\\P \times V \times 1 = PV = constant\\\\Thus, x = 1, \ y = 1 \ \ and \ z = 0
