Answer: 100 km

Explanation:

Given that:

Speed of bicyclist = 40.0 km/hr

Time taken = 2.5 hrs

Distance traveled = ?

Since speed is obtained by dividing the distance travelled by the time taken,

Speed = distance / time

40.0 km/hr = distance / 2.5 hours

Distance = 40.0 km/hr x 2.5 hours

Distance = 100 km

Thus, the bicyclist travelled as far as 100 kilometres

Derive the equation of motion of the block of mass m1 in terms of its displacement x. The friction between the block and the sur

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

the equivalent mass : $m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$

the equation of the motion of the block of mass $m_1$ in terms of its displacement is = $(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Explanation:

Let use m₁ to represent the mass of the block and m₂ to represent the mass of the cylinder

The radius of the cylinder be = R

The distance between the center of the pulley to center of the block to be = x

Also, the angles of inclinations of the cylinder and the block with respect to the ground to be $\phi$ and $\beta$ respectively.

The velocity of the block to be = v

The equivalent mass of the system = $m_e$

In the terms of the equivalent mass, the kinetic energy of the system can be written as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m_ev^2$ --------------- equation (1)

The angular velocity of the cylinder = $\omega$ : &

The inertia of the cylinder about its center to be = I

The angular velocity of the cylinder can be written as:

$v = \omega R$

$\omega =\frac{v}{R}$

The kinetic energy of the system in terms of individual mass can be written as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

By replacing $\omega$ with $\frac{v}{R}$ ; we have:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{R})^2$

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+ m_2+ \frac{I}{R} )v^2$ ------------------ equation (2)

Equating both equation (1) and (2); we have:

$m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$

Therefore, the equivalent mass : $m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$ which is read as;

The equivalent mass is equal to the mass of the block plus the mass of the cylinder plus the inertia by the square of the radius.

The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the block is as follows:

$f_{block }=m_1gsin \beta$

Also; The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the cylinder is as follows:

$f_{cylinder} = m_2gsin \phi$

Equating the above both equations; we have the equation of motion of the equivalent system to be

$m_e \bar x = f_{cylinder}-f_{block}$

which can be written as follows from the previous derivations

$(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Finally; the equation of the motion of the block of mass $m_1$ in terms of its displacement is = $(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

You are sitting on a merry-go-round of mass 200 kg and radius 2m that is at rest (not spinning). Your mass is 50 kg. Your friend

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a. $\tau=200J$ b. $\alpha=0.44 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ c. $\alpha=0.33\frac{rad}{s^2}$ d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger.

Explanation:

a. The magnitude of the torque is given by $\tau=rF\sin \theta$ , being r the radius, F the force aplied and $\theta$ the angle between the vector force and the vector radius. Since $\theta=90^{\circ}, \, \sin\theta=1$ and so $\tau=rF=2m100N=200Nm=200J$ .

b. Since the relation $\tau=I\alpha$ hols, being I the moment of inertia, the angular acceleration can be calculated by $\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$ . Since we have already calculated the torque, all left is calculate the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia of a solid disk rotating about an axis that passes through its center is $I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2$ , being M the mass of the disk. If we assume that a person has a punctual mass, the moment of inertia of a person would be given by $I_p=m_pr_p^{2}$ , being $m_p$ the mass of the person and $r_p^{2}$ the distance from the person to the center. Given all of this, we have

$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{\tau}{I_{disk}+I_{person}}=\frac{Fr}{\frac{1}{2}Mr^2+m_pr_p^{2}}=\frac{200Nm}{\frac{1}{2}200kg*4m^2+50kg*1m^2}=\frac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{450Nm^2}\approx 0.44\frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

c. Similar equation to b, but changing $r_p=2m$ , so

$alpha=\dfrac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{\frac{1}{2}200*4kg\,m^2+50*4 kg\,m^2}=\dfrac{200}{600}\dfrac{1}{s^2}\approx 0.33 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger because the moment of inertia of the person is smaller, meaning that the person has less inertia to rotate.

A very long straight wire has charge per unit length 1.44×10-10C/m.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m

Explanation:

We have given charge per unit length, that is liner charge density $\lambda =1.44\times 10^{-10}C/m$

Electric field E = 2.45 N/C

We have to find the distance at which electric field is 2.45 N/C

We know that electric field due to linear charge is equal to

$E=\frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon _0r}$ , here $\lambda$ is linear charge density and r is distance of the point where we have to find the electric field

So $2.45=\frac{1.44\times 10^{-10} }{2\times 3.14\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times r}$

r = 1.06 m

So distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m

This model shows an example of a fog bank formation. This can happen in the Great Lakes area as warm summer air moves across the

Vadim26 [7]

Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.

<h3>How Fog banks formed?</h3>

Fog banks form at sea where cool air moves quickly over the surface of the ocean that is warm. The cool incoming air lowers the temperature of the air just above the water surface and water vapor condenses into fog.

So we can conclude that Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.
