Answer:

(A) Distance will be equal to 1.75 km

(B) Displacement will be equal to 1.114 km

Explanation:

We have given circumference of the circular track = 3.5 km

Circumference is given by 2\pi r=3.5

r = 0.557 km

(a) It is given that car travels from southernmost point to the northernmost point.

For this car have to travel the distance equal to semi perimeter of the circular track

So distance will be equal to =\frac{3.5}{2}=1.75km

(b) If car go along the diameter of the circular track then it will also go from southernmost point to the northernmost point. and it will be equal to diameter of the track

So displacement will be equal to d = 2×0.557 = 1.114 m

Gravity __________ your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and __________it when you are driving downhill.
Oxana [17]
Gravity decreases your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill since the direction of motion is opposite for both. Driving uphill is force going upward while gravity pulls object down. When it is going downhill, the car tends to go faster since the gravity helps the object to go down by adding another value to the total acceleration of the motion of the object. Using the forces of balance, an object going up tends to become heavier while object going down tends to become lighter because of the gravity factor. Another analogy is the motion of elevators going up and down that incurs effects to your weiight.

Voltage needed to raise current to 3.75a using 20,20,200 resistor set
Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The voltage needed is 35.7 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

Assuming that the resistors are arranged in parallel combination.

For the resistors arranged in parallel combination:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

We are given:

R_1=20\Omega\\R_2=20\Omega\\R_3=200\Omega

Using above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{200}\\\\\frac{1}{R}=\frac{10+10+1}{200}\\\\R=\frac{200}{21}=9.52\Omega

Calculating the voltage by using Ohm's law:

V=IR         .....(1)

where,

V = voltage applied

I = Current = 3.75 A

R = Resistance = 9.52\Omega

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

V=3.75\times 9.52\\\\V=35.7V

Hence, the voltage needed is 35.7 V

As an intern at an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis
klio [65]

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.

Use the kinematic equation:

d = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The block starts from rest, so:

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\12 = \frac{1}{2}a(4^2)\\\\\frac{24}{16} = a = 1.5 m/s^2

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

F = ma = m_bg - T

mb = mass of the block

T = tension of string

Solve for tension:

T = m_bg - ma = 8.2(9.8) - 8.2(1.5) = 68.06 N

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

\Sigma \tau = rF\\\\\Sigma\tau = rT

Rewrite:

I\alpha = rT

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

\alpha = a/r\\\\\alpha = 1.5/.42= 3.57 rad/sec^2

Now, plug in the values into the equation:

I(3.57) = (0.42)(68.06)\\\\I = (0.42)(68.06)/(3.57) = \boxed{8.00 kgm^2}

How is momentum conserved in a newtons cradle <br><br> when one steel ball hits the other
arsen [322]

In Newton's Cradle experiment we know that all cradles of same mass and identical to each other

Now we know that when two identical objects collide elastically then they interchange their velocity

So here we have same illustration

When Newton pulls up a cradle and release it will move hit another cradle which is at rest

Due to elastic collision between them first cradle comes to rest and another cradle will move ahead with same speed this process remains the same and one by one all cradle hit another.

So at the last the cradle at the end will move off with the same speed as the first cradle will hit with the speed.

So in this experiment the cradle at the last end will move off at same distance away from the right end as that of left end we pull the cradle.

So here we can say that in horizontal direction when all cradles are colliding each other there is no external force on the system so momentum is conserved and they all will move off with same speed and hence we observe the above condition.
