The mathematical description that fits to find the circumference of a circle (Approximation we will make to the earth considering it Uniform) is,

\phi = 2\pi r

Here,

r = Radius

The radius of the earth is 6378.01 km or 6378010m

Replacing we have that the circumference of the Earth is

\phi = 2\pi (6378010m)

\phi = 40074000 m

\phi = 40074*10^3 m

Therefore the circumference of the Earth in m with 5 significant figures is 40074*10^3 m and using only trailing zeros the answer will be 40074000m

Two steel balls, of masses m1=1.00 kg and m2=2.00 kg, respectively, are hung from the ceiling with light strings next to each ot
Zolol [24]

Answer:

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball, m₁ is 0.11 m

(a) The maximum height achieved by the second ball, m₂ ball is 0.44 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 1 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 2 kg

The velocity of the first when released from a height of 1 m before collision;

u₁² = u₀² + 2gh

u₀ = 0, since it was released from rest

u₁² =  2gh

u₁² = 2 x 9.8 x 1

u₁² = 19.6

u₁ = √19.6

u₁ = 4.427 m/s

The velocity of the second ball before collision, u₂ = 0

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, to determine the velocity of the balls after an elastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of the first ball after an elastic collision

v₂ is the final velocity of the second ball after an elastic collision

m₁u₁ + m₂(0) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁u₁ =  m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1 x 4.427 = v₁ + 2v₂

v₁ + 2v₂ = 4.427

v₁  = 4.427 - 2v₂  ----- equation (1)

one directional velocity;

u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂

u₂ = 0

u₁ + v₁ = v₂

v₁ = v₂ - u₁

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427 ------ equation (2)

Substitute v₁ into equation (1)

v₂ - 4.427 = 4.427 - 2v₂

3v₂ = 4.427 + 4.427

3v₂  = 8.854

v₂ = 8.854 / 3

v₂  = 2.95 m/s (→ forward direction)

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427

v₁ = 2.95 - 4.427

v₁  = - 1.477 m/s

v₁  = 1.477 m/s ( ← backward direction)

Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball (v₁  = 1.477 m/s)

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  =  \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(1.477^2)\\\\ h_{max}  = 0.11 \ m

(b) The maximum height achieved by the second ball (v₂  = 2.95 m/s)

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  =  \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(2.95^2)\\\\ h_{max}  = 0.44 \ m

Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of five 2 V cells, a 5 ohm resistor, a 10 ohm resistor, a 15 ohm r
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

  • Current = 0.33 A

Explanation:

  • For diagram refer the attachment.

It is given that five cells of 2V are connected in series, so total voltage of the battery:

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf V = 2 \times 5 = 10 V

Three resistor of 5\Omega, 10\Omega, 15\Omega are connected in Series, so the net resistance:

\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf R_{n} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf R = 5 + 10 + 15

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{R = 30 \:  \Omega}}}}

According to ohm's law:

\dashrightarrow  \sf\: \: V = IR

\dashrightarrow  \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{V}{R}

On substituting resultant voltage (V) as 10 V and resultant resistant, as 30 {\pmb{\sf{\Omega}}} we get:

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{10V}{30\Omega}

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{I = 0.33 A}}}}

\thereforeThe electric current passing through the above circuit when the key is closed will be <u>0.33 A</u>

A freshly prepared sample of radioactive isotope has an activity of 10 mCi. After 4 hours, its activity is 8 mCi. Find: (a) the
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(a). The decay constant is 1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}

The half life is 11.3 hr.

(b). The value of N₀ is 2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei

(c). The sample's activity is 1.87 mCi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Activity R_{0}=10\ mCi

Time t_{1}=4\ hours

Activity R= 8 mCi

(a). We need to calculate the decay constant

Using formula of activity

R=R_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

\lambda=\dfrac{1}{t}ln(\dfrac{R_{0}}{R})

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{1}{4\times3600}ln(\dfrac{10}{8})

\lambda=0.0000154\ s^{-1}

\lambda=1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}

We need to calculate the half life

Using formula of half life

T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{\lambda}

Put the value into the formula

T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{1.55\times10^{-5}}

T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=44.719\times10^{3}\ s

T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=11.3\ hr

(b). We need to calculate the value of N₀

Using formula of N_{0}

N_{0}=\dfrac{3.70\times10^{6}}{\lambda}

Put the value into the formula

N_{0}=\dfrac{3.70\times10^{6}}{1.55\times10^{-5}}

N_{0}=2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei

(c). We need to calculate the sample's activity

Using formula of activity

R=R_{0}e^{-\lambda\times t}

Put the value intyo the formula

R=10e^{-(1.55\times10^{-5}\times30\times3600)}

R=1.87\ mCi

Hence, (a). The decay constant is 1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}

The half life is 11.3 hr.

(b). The value of N₀ is 2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei

(c). The sample's activity is 1.87 mCi.

Directions: Read each statement and determine if it is describing speed or
baherus [9]

Answer:

Find answers below.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

1. Speed: Jackson ran 5k in 24 minutes.

2. Velocity: A storm is travelling 25 km/hour eastward.

3. Speed: John walked 420 m in 17.5 seconds.

4. Velocity: Zart moved the desk 34 cm to the left.

5. Speed: A hurricane travels 360 km in 15 hours.

6. Speed: Meredith runs 400 meters in 50 seconds.

7. Velocity: Stephen Jay swims 110 m towards the shore in 72 seconds.

8. Velocity: Vince throws a baseball 38 m from third base to first base in 1.7 seconds.
