A worker on the roof of a house drops his hammer, which slides down the roof at a constant speed of 4 m/s. The roof makes an ang

le of 30 degree with the horizontal, and its lowest point is 10 m above the ground. What is the horizontal distance traveled by the hammer after it leaves the roof of the house and before it hits the ground? Use g 10 m/s2.

Answer:

4.25m

Explanation:

The horizontal and vertical component of the velocity as it leaves the roof is

v_v = vsin30^0 = 4*0.5 = 2 m/s

v_h = vcos30^0 = 4*0.866 = 3.64 m/s

Neglect air resistance, then gravitational acceleration g = 10m/s2 is the only thing that affect the vertical motion of the hammer. We can use the following equation of motion to solve for the time t of dropping

h = v_vt + gt^2/2

where h = 10m is the distance of dropping before the hammer reaches the ground

10 = 2t + 5t^2

5t^2 + 2t - 10 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{-2\pm \sqrt{(2)^2 - 4*(5)*(-10)}}{2*(5)}

t= \frac{-2\pm14.28}{10}

t = 1.23 or t = -1.63

Since t can only be positive we will pick t = 1.23

t is also the time that it takes to travel horizontally at the constant rate of 3.64 m/s

So the horizontal distance traveled by the hammer is

3.64*1.23 = 4.25 m

5.00 kg of liquid water is heated to 100.0 °C in a closed system. At this temperature, the density of liquid water is 958 kg/m3.
user100 [1]

Answer:

1.04\times 10^7\ J.

Explanation:

In the question given :

Pressure is constant

Therefore, Work done, W=P\times\Delta V

Pressure, P=1.01 × 105 Pa.

Final volume, V_f=8.50\ m^3.

Initial volume, V_i=\dfrac{Mass}{density}=\dfrac{5}{958}=5.22\times10^-3\ m^3.

Therefore, W=8.58\times 10^{5}\ J.

Also, Heat Given, Q=m\times L=5\times 2.26\times 10^{6}\ J=1.13\times 10^7\ J.

Also, according to First law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=Q-W=(1.13\times 10^7)-(8.58\times 10^5)=1.04\times 10^7\ J.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A circular loop of wire with 10 turns, radius 0.241 m and resistance 0.235 Ohms is connected to a 13.1 V power supply. The magne
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Given Information:  

Resistance of circular loop = R = 0.235 Ω 

Radius of circular loop = r = 0.241 m

Number of turns = n = 10

Voltage = V = 13.1 V

Required Information:  

Magnetic field = B = ?  

Answer:  

Magnetic field = 0.00145 T

Explanation:  

In a circular loop of wire with n number of turns and radius r and carrying a current I induces a magnetic field B

B = μ₀nI/2r

Where μ₀= 4πx10⁻⁷ is the permeability of free space  and current in the loop is given by

I = V/R

I = 13.1/0.235

I = 55.74 A

B = 4πx10⁻⁷*10*55.74/2*0.241

B = 0.00145 T

Therefore, the magnetic field at the center of this circular loop is 0.00145 T
