44. A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down

to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.8 s to reach the water. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.

Answer:

18.4 m

Explanation:

(a)

The known variables in this problem are:

u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)

t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

(b)

The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by

d=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find

d=(1.40 m/s)(1.8 s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(1.8 s)^2=18.4m

A proton in a cyclotron is moving with a speed of 2.97×107 m/s in a circle of radius 0.568 m. 1.67 × 10−27 kg is the mass of the
vivado [14]

Answer:

B = 0.546 T,  F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

The magnetic force is

            F = q v x B

We can calculate the magnitude of the force and find the direction by the right hand rule

          F = q v B sin θ

Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

Acceleration is centripetal

         a = v² / r

We substitute

       q v B sin θ = m v² / r

The angle between the field and the radius of the circle is 90º so sin 90 = 1

        q B = m v / r

        B = m v / q r

Let's calculate ’

       B = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 2.97 10⁷ / (1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 0.568)

        B = 0.546 T

The foce is

         F = q v B

         F = 1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 2.97 10⁷ 0.546

         F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N

Determine the value of the current in the solenoid so that the magnetic field at the center of the loop is zero tesla. Justify y
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

I will explain the concept of magnetic field and how it can be calculated.

Explanation:

The formula for magnetic field at the center of a loop is given as

B = μ_{o}I / 2R

where B is the magnetic field

R is the radius of the loop

I is the current

and μ_{o} is the magnetic permeability of free space which is a constant 4π × 10^{-7} newtons/ampere²

If the magnetic field at the center of the loop is 0, then μ_{o}I = 0

I = 0 which means there will be no current flow in the loop.

You would like to know whether silicon will float in mercury and you know that can determine this based on their densities. Unfo
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

So we shall have to multiply be 10³ with amount in gm / cm³ to convert it into kg/m³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³ .
