Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

$m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}$

Now,

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}$

$\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s$

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

When a 360 nF air capacitor is connected to a power supply, the energy stored in the capacitor is 1.85 x 10-5 J. While the capac

GaryK [48]

Answer:

(a) Approximately $10.1\; {\rm V}$ .

Explanation:

Let $C$ denote the capacitance of a capacitor. Let $V$ be the potential difference (voltage) between the two plates of this capacitor. The energy $E$ stored in this capacitor would be:

$\displaystyle E = \frac{1}{2}\, C\, (V^{2})$ .

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for the potential difference $V$ in terms of capacitance $C$ and energy $E$ :

$\begin{aligned}V^{2} &= \frac{2\, E}{C} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}V &= \sqrt{\frac{2\, E}{C}} \end{aligned}$

The capacitance $C$ of this capacitor is given in nanofarads. Convert that unit to standard unit (farads):

$\begin{aligned}C &= 360\; {\rm nF} \\ &= 360\; {\rm nF} \times \frac{1\; {\rm F}}{10^{9}\; {\rm nF}} \\ &= 3.60 \times 10^{-7}\; {\rm F}\end{aligned}$ .

Given that the energy stored in this capacitor is $E = 1.85 \times 10^{-5}\; {\rm J}$ , the potential difference across the capacitor plates would be:

$\begin{aligned}V &= \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 1.85 \times 10^{-5}\; {\rm J}}{3.60 \times 10^{-7}\; {\rm F}}} \\ &\approx 10.1\; {\rm V}\end{aligned}$ .

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) Height is 4.47 m

(b) Height is 4.37 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Initial velocity of teh ball, $v_{o} = 20.0 m/s$

Angle made by the ramp, $\theta = 22.0^{\circ}$

Distance traveled by the ball on the ramp, d = 5.00 m

Now,

(a) At any point on the projectile before attaining maximum height, the velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH$

where

H = $dsin22^{\circ} = 5sin22^{\circ}$

g = $9.8 m/s^{2}$

$v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ}$

$v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ}}$ = 19.06 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

$h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(19sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.60 m$

Height from the ground = $5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.60 = 4.47m$

(b) now, considering the coefficient of friction bhetween ramp and the ball, $\mu = 0.150$ :

velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH - \mu gd$

$v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5$

$v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5}$ = 18.7 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

$h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(18.7sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.50 m$

Height from the ground = $5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.50 = 4.37 m$

The acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the

Scrat [10]

Answer:

B. Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Net \; Force = mass * acceleration$

Making acceleration the subject of formula, we have;

$Acceleration = \frac {Net \; Force}{Mass}$

In this scenario, the acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the ball. Thus, this example best illustrates Newton's second law of motion.
