Answer:

a) $F_H=776.952\ N$

b) $F_g=706.32\ N$

c) $v=5.4249\ m.s^{-1}$

d) $KE=1059.48\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the astronaut, $m=72\ kg$

vertical displacement of the astronaut, $h=15\ m$

acceleration of the astronaut while the lift, $a=\frac{g}{10} =0.981\ m.s^{-2}$

a)

<u>Now the force of lift by the helicopter:</u>

Here the lift force is the resultant of the force of gravity being overcome by the force of helicopter.

$F_H-F_g=m.a$

where:

$F_H=$ force by the helicopter

$F_g=$ force of gravity

$F_H=72\times 0.981+72\times9.81$

$F_H=776.952\ N$

b)

The gravitational force on the astronaut:

$F_g=m.g$

$F_g=72\times 9.81$

$F_g=706.32\ N$

d)

Since the astronaut has been picked from an ocean we assume her initial velocity to be zero, $u=0\ m.s^{-1}$

using equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.h$

$v^2=0^2+2\times 0.981\times 15$

$v=5.4249\ m.s^{-1}$

c)

Hence the kinetic energy:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$KE=0.5\times 72\times 5.4249^2$

$KE=1059.48\ J$

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of helicopter, m = 72 kg

height, h = 15 m

acceleration, a = g/10

(a) Work done by the force

Work, W = force due to helicopter x distance

W = m x ( g + a) x h

W = 72 ( 9.8 + 0.98) x 15

W = 11642.4 J

(b) Work done by the gravitational force

W = - m x g x h

W = - 72 x 9.8 x 15

W = - 10584 J

(c) Kinetic energy = total Work done

K = 11642.4 - 10584

K = 1058.4 J

(d) Let the speed is v.

K = 0.5 x m v²

1058.4 = 0.5 x 72 x v²

v = 5.42 m/s

Now the force of lift by the helicopter:

where:

force by the helicopter

force of gravity

b)

The gravitational force on the astronaut:

d)

Since the astronaut has been picked from an ocean we assume her initial velocity to be zero,

using equation of motion:

c)

Hence the kinetic energy:

Is it possible to have a charge of 5 x 10-20 C? Why?

ruslelena [56]

1) No

2) Yes

3) No

4) Equal and opposite

5) 32400 N

6) Repulsive

7) The electric force is $2.3\cdot 10^{39}$ times bigger than the gravitational force

Explanation:

1)

In nature, the minimum possible charge that an object can have is the charge of the electron, which is called fundamental charge:

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Electrons are indivisible particles (they cannot be separated), this means that an object can have at least the charge equal to the charge of one electron (in fact, it cannot have a charge less than $e$ , because it would meant that the object has a "fractional number" of electrons).

In this problem, the object has a charge of

$Q=5\cdot 10^{-20}C$

If we compare this value to $e$ , we notice that $Q$ , so no object can have a charge of $Q$ .

2)

As we said in part 1), an object should have an integer number of electrons in order to be charged.

This means that the charge of an object must be an integer multiple of the fundamental charge, so we can write it as:

$Q=ne$

where

Q is the charge of the object

n is an integer multiple

e is the fundamental charge

Here we have

$Q=2.4\cdot 10^{-18}C$

Substituting the value of e, we find n:

$n=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{2.4\cdot 10^{-18}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=15$

n is integer, so this value of the charge is possible.

3)

We now do the same procedure for the new object in this part, which has a charge of

$Q=2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Again, the charge on this object can be written as

$Q=ne$

where

n is the number of electrons in the object

Using the value of the fundamental charge,

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

We find:

$n=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{2.0\cdot 10^{-19}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=1.25$

n is not integer, so this value of charge is not possible, since an object cannot have a fractional number of electrons.

4)

To solve this part, we use Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (Action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)".

In this problem, we have two objects:

- A charge Q

- A charge 5Q

Charge Q exerts an electric force on charge 5Q, and we can call this action force. At the same time, charge 5Q exerts an electric force on charge Q (reaction force), and according to Newton's 3rd law, the two forces are equal and opposite.

5)

The magnitude of the electric force between two single-point charges is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem we have:

$q_1=+4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is charge 1

$q_2=+7.2\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is charge 2

r = 0.30 cm = 0.003 m is the separation

So, the electric force between the two charges is

$F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(4.5\cdot 10^{-6})(7.2\cdot 10^{-6})}{(0.003)^2}=32400 N$

6)

The electric force between two charged objects has direction as follows:

- If the two objects have charges of opposite signs (+ and -), the force between them is attractive

- If the two objects have charges of same sign (++ or --), the force between them is repulsive

In this problem, the two charges are:

$q_1=+4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is charge 1

$q_2=+7.2\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is charge 2

We see that the two charges have same sign: therefore, the force between them is repulsive.

7)

The electric force between the proton and the electron in the atom can be written as

$F_E=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

$q_1 = q_2 = e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge of the proton and of the electron

$r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m$ is the separation between them

So the force can be rewritten as

$F_E=\frac{ke^2}{r^2}$

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron can be written as

$F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_p = 1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg$ is the proton mass

$m_e=9.11\cdot 10^{-27}kg$ is the electron mass

Comparing the 2 forces,

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{ke^2}{Gm_p m_e}=\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.67\cdot 10^{-27})(9.11\cdot 10^{-31})}=2.3\cdot 10^{39}$

1. Most waves are caused by vibrations. What motion in a transmitting antenna causes the vibrations that produce radio waves?

morpeh [17]

The answer 1 is
The best-known use of radio waves is for communication; television, cellphones and radios all receive radio waves and convert them to mechanical vibrations in the speaker to create sound waves that can be heard.Electromagnetic radiation is transmitted inwaves or particles at different wavelengths and frequencies.

the answer 2 is

Radio Waves: Instant Communication
Microwaves: Data and Heat

i think the answer number 3 is
It is all about wavelength versus tunnel diameter. The wavelength of GPS is about 20cm it would happily propagate in any normal tunnel if it could get in but the earth and other structures absorb it. AM radio (600kHz - 1500kHz) cannot propagate in any normal tunnel because the wavelength is too long (500m-200m) relative to the diameter, and thus gets reflected at the entrance. FM (100MHz ~ 3m) would propagate and it does for a while but then it suffers reflections

A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a=a1

AlekseyPX

Explanation:

A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression :

$a=a_1+\dfrac{F}{m}$

Where

$a_1=3\ m/s^2$

$F=12\ kg-m/s^2$

m = 7 kg

So, the correct step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fractions in the expression in solving for a is (a) and the value of a is :

$a=3+\dfrac{12}{7}$

$a=4.71\ m/s^2$

Hence, the correct option is (a).

Explain how the fountain pen is filled up with ink

Leno4ka [110]

Answer: A piston-filling fountain pen has a piston — just like in a car — inside the barrel. This piston goes down to expel air or ink and then back up, pulling ink into the barrel. The typical process is very simple, assuming the pen is clean and dry: Push the piston down, expelling any air in the barrel
