When a hammer thrower releases her ball, she is aiming to maximize the distance from the starting ring. Assume she releases the

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The angular velocity is 15.37 rad/s

Solution:

As per the question:

$\theta = 54.6^{\circ}$

Horizontal distance, x = 30.1 m

Distance of the ball from the rotation axis is its radius, R = 1.15 m

Now,

To calculate the angular velocity:

Linear velocity, v = $\sqrt{\frac{gx}{sin2\theta}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{294.98}{sin109.2^{\circ}}} = 17.67\ m/s$

Now,

The angular velocity can be calculated as:

$v = \omega R$

Thus

$\omega = \frac{v}{R} = \frac{17.67}{1.15} = 15.37\ rad/s$

A 4 kW vacuum cleaner is powered by an electric motor whose efficiency is 90%. (Note that the electric motor delivers 4 W of net

RoseWind [281]

Answer: $3.6\ kW$

Explanation:

Given

Power Supplied $[tex]P_{input}=4\ kW$ [/tex]

Efficiency of the motor $\neta =90\%$

and $\neta =\dfrac{\text{Power output}}{\text{Power input}}$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=\dfrac{P_{out}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow P=0.9\times 4$

$\Rightarrow P=3.6\ kW$

So, vacuum cleaner delivers a power of $3.6\ kW$

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 59° w

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a) $n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) $n_{2} = 1.349$

(c) $v_{1} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) $v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, $n_{1} = 1.47$

Angle of refraction for medium 1, $\theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction for medium 2, $\theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

$n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}$

where

$n_{2}$ = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

$n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

$n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}$

$n_{2} = 1.349$

(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:

We know that:

$Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}$

Thus for medium 1

$n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}$

$v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

$n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}$

$v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$
