A building is being knocked down with a wrecking ball, which is a big metal sphere that swings on a 12-m-long cable. You are (un

wisely!) standing directly beneath the point from which the wrecking ball is hung when you notice that the ball has just been released and is swinging directly toward you. How much time do you have to move out of the way?

Because you know that gravity is in m/s^2 so, period will be measured in seconds. You know the cable is 12m long and gravity is 9.81 solve for T (period) 2π12sqrt(9.81)=6.94922

Answer:

Time to move out of the way = 1.74 s

Explanation:

This case is similar to simple pendulum. The period of simple pendulum is given by 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }.

 Period of wrecking ball =2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{12}{9.81}}=6.95s

 Time to move out of the way is one fourth of period = 6.95/4 = 1.74 seconds.

 Time to move out of the way = 1.74 s

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled  by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>

If the coefficient of static friction is 0.357, and the same ladder makes a 58.0° angle with respect to the horizontal, how far
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: d= 0.57* l

Explanation:

We need to check that before ladder slips the length of ladder the painter can climb.

So we need to satisfy the equilibrium conditions.

So for ∑Fx=0, ∑Fy=0 and ∑M=0

We have,

At the base of ladder, two components N₁ acting vertical and f₁ acting horizontal

At the top of ladder, N₂ acting horizontal

And Between somewhere we have the weight of painter acting downward equal to= mg

So, we have N₁=mg

and also mg*d*cosФ= N₂*l*sin∅

So,

d=\frac{N2}{mg}*l * tan∅

Also, we have f₁=N₂

As f₁= чN₁

So f₁= 0.357 * 69.1 * 9.8

f₁= 241.75

Putting in d equation, we have

d= \frac{241.75}{69.1*9.8} *l * tan 58

d= 0.57* l

So painter can be along the 57% of length before the ladder begins to slip

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of (a) 100 V, (b) 1.0 kV
forsale [732]

Answer:

(a) \lambda=1.227\ A

(b) \lambda=0.388\ A

(c) \lambda=0.038\ A

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) An electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 100 V. The De Broglie wavelength in terms of potential difference is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meV} }

Where

m and e are the mass of and charge on an electron

On solving,

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A

V = 100 V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{100} }\ A

\lambda=1.227\ A

(b) V = 1 kV = 1000 V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{1000} }\ A

\lambda=0.388\ A

(c) If V=100\ kV=10^5\ V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{10^5} }\ A

\lambda=0.038\ A

Hence, this is the required solution.
