At the instant a 2.0-kg particle has a velocity of 4.0 m/s in the positive x direction, a 3.0-kg particle has a velocity of 5.0

m/s in the positive y direction. What is the speed of the center of mass of the two-particle system

Answer:

the speed of the center of mass of the two-particle system is 3.4 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of particle 1, m = 2 kg

Velocity of the particle 1, v = 4 m/s in +x direction

Mass of particle 2, m' = 3 kg

Velocity of the particle 2, v' = 5 m/s in +y direction.

The x -coordinate of velocity of the centre of mass is given by :

$v_x=\dfrac{mv+m'v'}{m+m'}\\\\v_x=\dfrac{2\times 4+3\times 0}{2+3}\\\\v_x=1.6\ m/s$

The y -coordinate of velocity of the centre of mass is given by :

$v_y=\dfrac{mv+m'v'}{m+m'}\\\\v_y=\dfrac{2\times 0+3\times 5}{2+3}\\\\v_y=3\ m/s$

So, the the speed of the center of mass of the two-particle system given by :

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2} \\\\v=\sqrt{1.6^2+3^2} \\\\v=3.4\ m/s$

So, the speed of the center of mass of the two-particle system is 3.4 m/s.

Solve for x. 4(x+1)≤4x+3

alexdok [17]

4x + 4 < 4x + 3 (expand it)
4 < 3 (cancel 4x on both sides)
Since 4 < 3 is not true there is no solution.

Answer: NO SOLUTION.

An open organ pipe is 1.6m long. If the speed of sound is 343m/s, what are the pipes: a) fundamental , b) 1st overtone , & c

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

a) 107.1875 Hz

b) 214.375 Hz

c) 321.5625 Hz

Explanation:

L = length of the open organ pipe = 1.6 m

v = speed of sound = 343 m/s

f = fundamental frequency

fundamental frequency is given as

$f = \frac{v}{2L}$

inserting the values

$f = \frac{343}{2(1.6)}$

$f = \frac{343}{2(1.6)}$

$f = 107.1875$ Hz

b)

first overtone is given as

f' = 2f

f' = 2 (107.1875)

f' = 214.375 Hz

c)

first overtone is given as

f'' = 3f

f'' = 3 (107.1875)

f'' = 321.5625 Hz

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be $\large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T$ , '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field ( $\large{\overrightarrow{B}}$ ) at a distance ' $r$ ' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current ' $I$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}$

where ' $\overrightarrow{dl}$ ' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current ' $I$ ', at a distance ' $d$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}$

According to the figure if ' $I_{t}$ ' be the current carried by the top wire, ' $I_{b}$ ' be the current carried by the bottom wire and ' $2d$ ' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the $\bigotimes$ symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by $\bigodot$ symbol.

Given $\large{I_{t} = 19.5 A}$ and $\large{I_{B} = 12.5 A}$

Therefore, the magnetic field ( $\large{B_{t}}$ ) at 'P' due to the top wire

$B_{t} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{t}}{2 \pi d}$

and the magnetic field ( $\large{B_{b}}$ ) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

$B_{b} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{b}}{2 \pi d}$

Therefore taking the value of $\mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}$ the net magnetic field ( $\large{B_{M}}$ ) at the midway between the wires will be

$\large{B_{M} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi d} (I_{t} - I_{b}) = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-7}}{d} = \dfrac{41.4 \times 10 ^{-4}}{d}} T$

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese

lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:

efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100

Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40%

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20%

Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
