Answer:

A rock dropped from the ceiling of a truck's cargo bay, with the truck moving at constant velocity, the rock strikes the floor exactly below the midpoint of the ceiling.

Explanation:

An object moving at a constant velocity, is changing its displacement at an equal time.That is, the object is moving on a straight line at a constant speed.

Also an object with a constant velocity is not accelerating, since acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

Therefore, A rock dropped from the ceiling of a truck's cargo bay, with the truck moving at constant velocity, the rock strikes the floor exactly below the midpoint of the ceiling.

An aluminum rod of length 3.3 m and crosssectional area 3.8 cm2 is inserted vertically into a thermally insulated vessel contain
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

V_vap = 161.2 L

Explanation:

The total mass of the aluminum rod is given as;

m = ρ∙V = ρ∙L∙A

Where;

ρ is density = 2700 kg/m³

L is length = 3.3m

A is cross sectional area = 3.8 cm² = 3.8 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Thus;

m = 2700kg/m³•3.3m•3.8 × 10⁻⁴m²

= 3.3858kg

By cooling down the submerged half of the aluminum rod releases an heat amount of

Q = (1/2)∙m∙cp∙∆T

Where;

cp is specific heat of aluminum aluminum = 900 J/kg

∆T is change in temperature = 274 - 4.2 = 269.8 K

Thus;

Q = (1/2)•3.3858•900•(269.8)

= 411069.978 J

The liquid absorbs this heat and vaporizes partially, such that the heat equals vaporized mass times latent heat of vaporization:

Q = m_vap•∆h_vap

Making m_vap the subject;

m_vap∙ = Q/∆h_vap

Where ∆h_vap is latent heat of vaporization given as 20900J/kg

Thus,

m_vap∙ = 411069.978/20900

= 19.668 kg

Let's divide this mass by the density of liquid helium and we get the liquid volume which has vaporized:

V_vap∙= m_vap/ρ

V_vap∙ = 19.668/122

V_vap∙ = 0.1612 m³

Converting to litres;

V_vap = 0.1612 x 1000

V_vap = 161.2 L

What is the magnification of an astronomical telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 71 cm and whose eyepiece has a
Rus_ich [418]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to optical magnification (is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something.). Specifically the angular magnification of an optical telescope is given by

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

Where,

f_o = Focal length of the objective lens in a refractor

f_e = Focal length of the eyepiece

Our values are given as

f_o = 71cm

f_e =  2.1cm

Replacing we have

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

M = -\frac{71}{2.1}

M = - 33.81

Therefore the magnification of this astronomical telescope is -33.81

A 125-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk of radius 1.50 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope a
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

201.6 N

Explanation:

m = mass of disk shaped merry-go-round = 125 kg

r = radius of the disk = 1.50 m

w₀ = Initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

w = final angular speed = 0.700 rev/s = (0.700) (2π) rad/s = 4.296 rad/s

t = time interval = 2 s

α = Angular acceleration

Using the equation

w = w₀ + α t

4.296 = 0 + 2α

α = 2.15 rad/s²

I = moment of inertia of merry-go-round

Moment of inertia of merry-go-round is given as  

I = (0.5) m r² = (0.5) (125) (1.50)² = 140.625 kgm²

F = constant force applied

Torque equation for the merry-go-round is given as

r F = I α

(1.50) F = (140.625) (2.15)

F = 201.6 N
