A playground slide is in the form of an arc of a circle with a maximum height of 3.0 m, with a radius of 8.5 m, and with the gro

und tangent to the circle. Dr. Ritchey’s 12 kg daughter starts from rest at the top of the slide and has a speed of 4.5 m/s at the bottom. a. What is the length of the slide? b. What average frictional force acts on the child over this distance?

Answer:

a) s \approx 6.676\,m

Explanation:

a) Let assume that the ground is not inclined, since the bottom of the playground slide is tangent to ground. Then, the length of given by the definition of a circular arc:

s = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot R

s=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (8.5\,m)

s \approx 6.676\,m

The bottom of the slide has a height of zero. The physical phenomenon around Dr. Ritchey's daughter is modelled after Principle of Energy Conservation. The child begins at rest:

U_{g,A} = K_{B} + W_{fr}

m\cdot g \cdot h_{A} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{B}^{2} + f\cdot s

The average frictional force is cleared within the expression:

f = \frac{m\cdot (g\cdot h_{A}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{B}^{2})}{s}

f = \frac{(12\,kg)\cdot [(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,m)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.5\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} ]}{6.676\,m}

f = 34.684\,N

A man on the moon with a mass of 90 kilograms weighs 146 newtons. The radius of the moon is 1.74 x 106 meters, find the mass of
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

7.36 × 10^22 kg

Explanation:

Mass of the man = 90kg

Weight on the moon = 146N

radius of the moon =1.74×10^6

Weight =mg

g= weight/mass

g= 146/90 = 1.62m/s^2

From the law of gravitational force

g = GM/r^2

Where G = 6.67 ×10^-11

M = gr^2/G

M= 1.62 × (1.74×10^6)^2/6.67×10^-11

= 4.904×10^12/6.67×10^-11

=0.735×10^23

M= 7.35×10^22kg. (approximately) with option c

A string with a length of 4.00 m is held under a constant tension. The string has a linear mass density of \mu=0.000600~\text{kg
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

T=245.76N

Explanation:

We know that the frequency of the nth harmonic is given by f_n=nf, where f is the fundamental harmonic. Since we have the values of two consecutive frequencies, we can do:

f_{n+1}-f_n=(n+1)f-nf=nf+f-nf=f

Which for our values means (we do not need the value of <em>n</em>, that is, which harmonics are the frequencies given):

f=f_{n+1}-f_n=480Hz-400Hz=80Hz

Now we turn to the formula for the vibration frequency of a string (for the fundamental harmonic):

f=\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

So the tension is:

T=\mu(2Lf)^2

Which for our values is:

T=(0.0006kg/m)(2(4m)(80Hz))^2=245.76N

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of oil slick a thin layer of oil is formed on water . This thin layer creates a rainbow of colour . The phenomenon is due to interference of light waves , one reflected from the upper surface of oil and the other reflected from the lower surface of the oil.

For formation of bright colour

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of oil ,  t is thickness of oil layer  λ is wave length of light falling on the layer .

given μ = 1.2 ,   λ = 750 x 10⁻⁹   ,

2 x 1.2 t = ( 2n + 1 ) 750 x 10⁻⁹ / 2

For minimum thickness n = 0

2.4 t = 375 x 10⁻⁹

t = 156.25 n m

B ) If the refractive index of layer of medium below oil is less than that of oil , the condition of formation of colour changes

The new condition is

2 μ t = n λ

2  x 1.5 t  = 750 nm ,         n = 1 for minimum wavelength .

t = 250 nm

C ) Light mostly transmitted means dark spot is formed at that point .

For that to be observed from water side , the condition is

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

λ = 4μ t / ( 2n + 1 )

For maximum wavelength n = 0

λ = 4μ t

= 4 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 1200 nm .
