In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land

hard on the floor. Suppose the victim falls by 0.50 m, the mass that moves downward is 79.0 kg, and the collision on the floor lasts 0.0750 s. What are the magnitudes of the (a) impulse and (b) average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?

Answer:

A)247.4kgm/s b) 3299.0N

Explanation:

The potential energy of the victim = mgh where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height from where the victim fell

Pe = 79*9.81*0.5 = 1/2mv2 (kinetic energy of the motion) v is speed in m/s

v = √9.81 = 3.132m/s

Change in momentum of the victim = m(vi-vf)

Vi is zero and vf is the velocity of impact

Change in momentum = 79*(3.132-0) = 247kgm/s which also the impulse

B) average force x time = impulse = 247

Average force = 247/0.075 = 3299.04N

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect? A water bug on the surface of a pond is producing small ripples in t
noname [10]

Answer:

A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase.

Explanation:

In Physics, Doppler effect can be defined as the change in frequency of a wave with respect to an observer in motion and moving relative to the source of the wave.

Simply stated, Doppler effect is the change in wave frequency as a result of the relative motion existing between a wave source and its observer.

The term "Doppler effect" was named after an Austrian mathematician and physicist known as Christian Johann Doppler while studying the starlight in relation to the movement of stars.

<em>The phenomenon of Doppler effects is generally applicable to both sound and light. </em>

An example of the Doppler effect is a police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. This is so because when a sound object moves towards you, its sound waves frequency increases, thereby causing a higher pitch. However, if the sound object is moving away from the observer, it's sound waves frequency decreases and thus resulting in a lower pitch.

<em>Other fields were the Doppler effects are applied are; astronomy, flow management, vibration measurement, radars, satellite communications etc. </em>

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of −25.0 nc? g?
Daniel [21]

To calculate the force between two negative charges, we use the formula which is given by the Coulomb`s Law as

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}  }{r^{2} }

Here, q_{1} andq_{2} are the charges on the pith balls, r is the separation between the charges and k is constant and its value is  8.99\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2.

Given  q_{1} =q_{2} =-25 nC=-25\times 10^{-9}C and  r=8 cm=8\times10^{-2} m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

F= 8.99\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\frac{(-25\times 10^{-9}C)(-25\times 10^{-9}C)}{(8\times10^{-2} m)^2} \\\\\ F= 877929.7\times 10^{-9}  N\\\\F=8.8\times10^{-4}N

Thus, the repulsive force between two pith balls is 8.8\times10^{-4}N.

Four copper wires of equal length are connected in series. Their cross-sectional areas are 0.7 cm2 , 2.5 cm2 , 2.2 cm2 , and 3 c
Travka [436]

Answer:

22.1 V

Explanation:

We are given that

A_1=0.7 cm^2=0.7\times 10^{-4} m^2

A_2=2.5 cm^2=2.5\times 10^{-4} m^2

A_3=2.2 cm^2=2.2\times 10^{-4} m^2

A_4=3 cm^2=3\times 10^{-4} m^2

Using 1cm^2=10^{-4} m^2

We know that

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

In series

R=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4

R=\frac{\rho l}{A_1}+\frac{\rho l}{A_2}+\frac{\rho l}{A_3}+\frac{\rho l}{A_4}

R=\frac{\rho l}{\frac{1}{A_1}+\frac{1}{A_2}+\frac{1}{A_3}+\frac{1}{A_4}}

Substitute the values

R=\rho A(\frac{1}{0.7\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{2.5\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{2.2\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{3\times 10^{-4}})

R=\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)

V=145 V

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{145}{\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)}

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire=IR=I\times \frac{\rho l}{A_2}

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire=\frac{145}{\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)}\times \frac{\rho l}{2.5\times 10^{-4}}=22.1 V

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire=22.1 V
