: A 70 kg man and a 12 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 25 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma

ss. The man exerts a horizontal 8.2 N force on the rope. How long (in seconds) does it take from the man’s initial position until they meet?

Answer:

$x_1 = 3.74m$

Explanation:

given,

mass of man = 70 kg

mass of sled = 12 kg

F = m a_s

$a_s = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a_s = \dfrac{8.2}{12}$

$a_s = 0.68\ m/s^2$

$F = m a_m$

$a_m = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a_m = \dfrac{8.2}{70}$

$a_m = 0.12\ m/s^2$

$x_1+x_2 = 25$

$\dfrac{1}{2}a_ct^2+ \dfrac{1}{2}a_mt^2 = 25$

$(a_c+a_m)t^2=50$

$(0.12+0.68)t^2=50$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{0.8}}$

t = 7.90 s

$x_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}a_ct^2$

$x_1 = 0.5\times 0.12 \times 7.90^2$

$x_1 = 3.74m$

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is v = 1/ κμ0ε0 , where κ is the dielectri

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

$v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}$

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

$c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}$

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

So, the speed of light in water is $2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

As the population in a small town grows, a new water treatment plant is built. The plant is built on a local river where it can

abruzzese [7]

Treatment water from the plant would affects the communities present in the downstream of the river.

Answer: Option (a)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wastewater treatment plant is a process used to treat the water that flows from the rivers, streams, and lakes.This plant removes the dust, sand, sediments present in the river water.

When this treated water is released into the downriver stream, it affects the health of aquatic organisms present in that stream.Use of chemicals in treating the wastewater may cause genetic problems to the communities present in that region.

It also causes air pollution and more energy is needed for the treatment process and thus affects the ecosystem.

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a potential difference of 71.0 V. Determine the potential difference

Gwar [14]

Answer:

15.8 V

Explanation:

The relationship between capacitance and potential difference across a capacitor is:

$q=CV$

where

q is the charge stored on the capacitor

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Here we call C and V the initial capacitance and potential difference across the capacitor, so that the initial charge stored is q.

Later, a dielectric material is inserted between the two plates, so the capacitance changes according to

$C'=kC$

where k is the dielectric constant of the material. As a result, the potential difference will change (V'). Since the charge stored by the capacitor remains constant,

$q=C'V'$

So we can combine the two equations:

$CV=CV'\\CV=(kC)V'\\V'=\frac{V}{k}$

and since we have

V = 71.0 V

k = 4.50

We find the new potential difference:

$V'=\frac{71.0}{4.50}=15.8 V$

The next four questions refer to the situation below.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

t_{out} = $\frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r}$ t_{in}, t_{out} = $\frac{D}{v_s +v_r}$

Explanation:

This in a relative velocity exercise in one dimension,

let's start with the swimmer going downstream

its speed is

$v_{sg 1} = v_{sr} + v_{rg}$

The subscripts are s for the swimmer, r for the river and g for the Earth

with the velocity constant we can use the relations of uniform motion

$v_{sg1}$ = D / $t_{out}$

D = v_{sg1} t_{out}

now let's analyze when the swimmer turns around and returns to the starting point

$v_{sg 2} = v_{sr} - v_{rg}$

$v_{sg 2}$ = D / $t_{in}$

D = v_{sg 2} t_{in}

with the distance is the same we can equalize

$v_{sg1} t_{out} = v_{sg2} t_{in}$

t_{out} = t_{in}

t_{out} = $\frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r}$ t_{in}

This must be the answer since the return time is known. If you want to delete this time

t_{in}= D / $v_{sg2}$

we substitute

t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} ()

t_{out} = $\frac{D}{v_s +v_r}$
