1. Two wires - A and B - with circular cross-sections have identical lengths and are made of the same material. Yet, wire A has
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Diameter of wire B is 2 times the diameter of wire A

Explanation:

We have given two wire A and B

They are made up of same material and length of both the wire is sane

So l_A=l_B

Let the resistivity of both the wire is \rho

It is given that wire A has 4 times the resistance as wire B

So R_A=4R_B

So \frac{\rho l_A}{a_A}=4\frac{\rho l_B}{a_B} ( As l_A=l_B )

\frac{a_A}{a_B}=\frac{1}{4}

\frac{d_A^2}{d_B^2}=\frac{1}{4}

\frac{d_A}{d_B}=\frac{1}{2}

d_B=2d_A

So diameter of wire B is 2 times the diameter of wire A

Consider two identical objects of mass m = 0.250 kg and charge q = 4.00 μC. The first charge is held in place at the origin of a
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a = 640 m/s²

Explanation:

From work-kinetic energy principles,

The net force acting on the second object is the gravitational force and the electric force due to the first object.

So, the gravitational force on the mass is F₁ = Gm₁m₂/r² since m₁ = m₂ = m, U = -Gm²/r²

Also, the electric force on the charge is F₂ = kq₁q₂/r² since q₁ = q₂ = q, U = kq²/r²

The net Force F = ma

So, -F₁ + F₂ = F     (F₁ is negative since it is an attractive force in the negative x -direction and F₂ is positive since it is a repulsive force in the positive x- direction)

-Gm²/r² + kq²/r² = ma

ma = -Gm²/r² + kq²/r²

a = (-Gm²/r² + kq²/r²)/m

a = (-G + kq²/m²)m/r²

Since m = 0.250 kg, q = 4.00 μC = 4.00 × 10⁻⁶ C, r = 3.00 cm = 3.00 × 10⁻² m, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² and a = acceleration of second mass.

Substituting the variables into the equation, we have

a = (m/r²)(-G + k(q/m)²)]

a = (0.250 kg/{3.00 × 10⁻² m}²)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(4.00 × 10⁻⁶ C/0.250 kg)²)

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(16 × 10⁻⁶ C/kg)²)]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(256 × 10⁻¹² C²/kg²)]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 2304 × 10⁻³ Nm²/kg²  ]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(2.304 Nm²/kg²)

a = 0.576 Nm²/kg /9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m²

a = 0.064 × 10⁴N/kg

a = 64 × 10 N/kg)

a = 640 m/s²

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately 0.560\; {\rm m}, assuming that:

  • the height of 3.21\; {\rm m} refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
  • air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
  • the gravitational field strength is g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, and
  • the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

  • Let k denote the spring constant of the spring.
  • Let m denote the mass of the clay sphere.
  • Let v denote the initial speed of the spring.
  • Let g denote the gravitational field strength.
  • Let h denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let x denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of x, the elastic potential energy \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} in this spring would be:

\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}.

The initial kinetic energy \text{KE} of the clay sphere was:

\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}.

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

  • The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
  • The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by x.
  • The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by h = 3.21\; {\rm m}.

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere (h = 3.21\; {\rm m} above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by (h + x).

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x).

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}.

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x).

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, x:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0.

Substitute in k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}, m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}, v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}, g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}, and h = 3.21\; {\rm m}. Let the unit of x be meters.

785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0 (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that x \ge 0:

\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately 0.560\; {\rm m}.
