Which is heavier? A kilogram of steel? or A kilogram of feathers?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: below

Explanation: 1kg of steel is slightly heavier than 1 kg of feathers. 1 kg of feather will displace more air as the density of feather is very less comparitively. More the volume displaced more is the upthrust and less the apparent weight.

Two 60.o-g arrows are fired in quick succession with an initial speed of 82.0 m/s. The first arrow makes an initial angle of 24.

olganol [36]

Answer:

a) The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters, b) Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.

Explanation:

a) The first arrow is launch in a parabolic way, that is, horizontal speed remains constant and vertical speed changes due to the effects of gravity. On the other hand, the second is launched vertically, which means that velocity is totally influenced by gravity. Let choose the ground as the reference height for each arrow. Each arrow can be modelled as particles and by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

First arrow

$U_{g,1} + K_{x,1} + K_{y,1} = U_{g,2} + K_{x,2} + K_{y,2}$

Where:

$U_{g,1}$ , $U_{g,2}$ - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

$K_{x,1}$ , $K_{x,2}$ - Initial and final horizontal translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$K_{y,1}$ , $K_{y,2}$ - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

Now, the system is expanded and simplified:

$m \cdot g \cdot (y_{2} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 2}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0$

$g \cdot (y_{2}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2})$

$y_{2}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2}}{g}$

Where:

$y_{1}$ . $y_{2}$ - Initial and final height of the arrow, measured in meters.

$v_{y,1}$ , $v_{y,2}$ - Initial and final vertical speed of the arrow, measured in meters.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

The initial vertical speed of the arrow is:

$v_{y,1} = v_{1}\cdot \sin \theta$

Where:

$v_{1}$ - Magnitude of the initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$\theta$ - Initial angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If $v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\theta = 24^{\circ}$ , the initial vertical speed is:

$v_{y,1} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 24^{\circ}$

$v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}$

If $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{y,2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the maximum height of the first arrow is:

$y_{2} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(33.352\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$y_{2} - y_{1} = 56.712\,m$

Second arrow

$U_{g,1} + K_{y,1} = U_{g,3} + K_{y,3}$

Where:

$U_{g,1}$ , $U_{g,3}$ - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

$K_{y,1}$ , $K_{y,3}$ - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$m \cdot g \cdot (y_{3} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 3}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0$

$g \cdot (y_{3}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2})$

$y_{3}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2}}{g}$

If $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{y,1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{y,3} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the maximum height of the first arrow is:

$y_{3} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$y_{3} - y_{1} = 342.816\,m$

The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters.

b) The total energy of each system is determined hereafter:

First arrow

The total mechanical energy at maximum height is equal to the sum of the potential gravitational energy and horizontal translational kinetic energy. That is to say:

$E = U + K_{x}$

The expression is now expanded:

$E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{x}^{2}$

Where $v_{x}$ is the horizontal speed of the arrow, measured in meters per second.

$v_{x} = v_{1}\cdot \cos \theta$

If $v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\theta = 24^{\circ}$ , the horizontal speed is:

$v_{x} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 24^{\circ}$

$v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}$

If $m = 0.06\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $y_{max} = 56.712\,m$ and $v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the total mechanical energy is:

$E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (56.712\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(74.911\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}$

$E = 201.720\,J$

Second arrow:

The total mechanical energy is equal to the potential gravitational energy. That is:

$E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max}$

$m = 0.06\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $y_{max} = 342.816\,m$

$E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (342.816\,m)$

$E = 201.720\,J$

Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.

A student is building a model of a parallel circuit consisting of a battery, a switch, five light bulbs, and wires. When she con

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(D) 2, 3, and 4

Explanation:

Given that the connection is parallel,

The parallel circuit consisting of a battery, a switch, wires, and 5 bulbs has been shown in the figure.

But none of the bulbs light up upon completing the connection.

The given possible reasons are:

Option (1): One of the bulbs is burnt out.

As the connection is parallel, so the current from the battery is divided to all 5 bulbs, is one bulb is burnt out, it will not stop the current flowing through the other bulbs, so this is not the possible reason.

Option (2): One or more of the wires is not connected to the battery.

If one or more wire is not connected to the battery, then there will be no current in the circuit, so, no bulb will glow. Hence this may be the possible reason.

Option (3): The switch isn't properly closed.

If the switch isn't properly closed, then the circuit is not closed. Then there will be no current in the circuit, so, no bulb will glow. Hence this may be the possible reason.

Option (4): The resistance of the light bulbs prevents current from flowing through the circuit.

If the resistance of the bulb is very large and the current flowing in it is too less, then there will not be sufficient to glow the bulb. so, no bulb will glow. Hence this may be the possible reason.

So, the possible may be options (2), (3), and (4).

Hence, option (D) is correct.
