A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 5.60 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two

pulses of sound, one that travels through the air and a longitudinal wave that travels through the rail. (The speeds of sound in air and in iron are 343 m/s and 5950 m/s, respectively.) (a) Which pulse reaches the microphone first? the pulse traveling through the air the pulse traveling through the iron rail (b) Find the separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses.

A circular cylinder has a diameter of 3.0 cm and a mass of 25 g. It floats in water with its long axis perpendicular to the wate
Vilka [71]

Answer:

   f = 5.3 Hz

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let's find the equation that describes the process, using Newton's second law

        ∑ F = ma

where the acceleration is

         a = \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2 }

        B- W = m \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2 }

To solve this problem we create a change in the reference system, we place the zero at the equilibrium point

           B = W

In this frame of reference, the variable y'  when it is oscillating is positive and negative, therefore Newton's equation remains

         B’= m \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2 }

           

the thrust is given by the Archimedes relation

         B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

     

the volume is

        V = π r² y'

     

we substitute

          - ρ_liquid g π r² y’ = m \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2 }

          \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2} + \rho_liquid \ g \ \pi  r^2/m ) y' \ =0

this differential equation has a solution of type

         y = A cos (wt + Ф)

where

         w² = ρ_liquid g π r² /m

angular velocity and frequency are related

         w = 2π f

         

we substitute

          4π² f² = ρ_liquid g π r² / m

          f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \ \sqrt{ \frac{ \rho_{liquid} \  \pi  r^2 \ g}{m } }

calculate

         f = \frac{1}{2 \pi }  \sqrt{ \frac{ 1000 \ \pi  \ 0.03^2 \ 9.8 }{0.025}  }

         f = 5.3 Hz

Define the types of friction and give FOUR examples of each
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Static Friction - acts on objects when they are resting on a surface

Sliding Friction -  friction that acts on objects when they are sliding over a surface

Rolling Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are rolling over a surface

Fluid Friction - friction that acts on objects that are moving through a fluid

Explanation:

Examples of static include papers on a tabletop, towel hanging on a rack, bookmark in a book , car parked on a hill.

Example of sliding include sledding, pushing an object across a surface, rubbing one's hands together, a car sliding on ice.

Examples of rolling include truck tires, ball bearings, bike wheels, and car tires.

Examples of fluid include water pushing against a swimmer's body as they move through it , the movement of your coffee as you stir it with a spoon,  sucking water through a straw, submarine moving through water.

Two objects separated by a distance r are each carrying a charge q The magnitude of the force exerted on the second object by th
Sindrei [870]

Answer:F=4F

Explanation: Columbs law states that The force between the two point charges is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

Force between the two charges is given by

F=K*q1*q2/r^2

if one charge become 4 times, new force is,

F=4(K*q1*q2)/r^2

F=4F

Where q1 and q2 are the point charges

r is the distance between the two charges

K is a constant of proportion called electrostatic force

The Z0 boson, discovered in 1985, is the mediator of the weak nuclear force, and it typically decays very quickly. Its average r
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The lifetime of the particle is  \Delta  t  =  2.6*10^{-25} \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The average rest energy is E =  91.19 \ GeV =  91.19GeV  *    \frac{1.60 *10^{-10} J }{1GeV} = 1.46 *10^{-8}J

    The intrinsic width is  \Delta E  =2.5eV  = 2.5GeV   *  \frac{1.60 *10^{-10}J  }{1GeV}  =  4*10^{-10} J

The lifetime is mathematically represented as

     \Delta  t  =  \frac{h}{\Delta E}

Where h is the Planck's constant with a value of  1.055*10^{-34} \ J\cdot s  

substituting values

    \Delta  t  =  \frac{1.055*10^{-34}}{4 *10^{-10}}

     \Delta  t  =  2.6*10^{-25} \ s
