As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself.There is no one ar

ound to help, so you attach an ideal pulley tothe box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap aroundthe pulley. You pull up on the rope to lift the box. Use g or themagnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect frictionforces.
Part A What is the magnitude F of the upward force you must apply to the ropeto start raising the box with constant velocity?

Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F

Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with

Explanation:

Force downwards F is,

F = FA - T

T is the upwards tension force on the rope

FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.

Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)

For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)

Therefore, ma = T - mg

T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)

Equating equ. 1 and 2

T = FA - F = ma + mg

Therefore FA = ma + mg + F

But at constant velocity a = 0

Magnitude of applied force becomes

FA = mg + F

single goose sounds a loud warning when an intruder enters the farmyard. Some distance from the goose, you measure the sound lev

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The sound level of the 26 geese is $Z_{26}= 96.15 dB$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sound level is $Z_1 = 81.0 \ dB$

The number of geese is $N = 26$

Generally the intensity level of sound is mathematically represented as

The intensity of sound level in dB for one goose is mathematically represented as

$Z_1 = 10 log [\frac{I}{I_O} ]$

Where I_o is the threshold level of intensity with value $I_o = 1*10^{-12} \ W/m^2$

$I$ is the intensity for one goose in $W/m^2$

For 26 geese the intensity would be

$I_{26} = 26 * I$

Then the intensity of 26 geese in dB is

$Z_{26} = 10 log[\frac{26 I }{I_o} ]$

$Z_{26} = 10 log (\ \ 26 * [\frac{ I }{I_o} ]\ \ )$

$Z_{26} = 10 log (\ \ 26 \ \ ) * (\ \ 10 log [\frac{ I }{I_o} ]\ \ )$

From the law of logarithm we have that

$Z_{26} = 10 log 26 + 10 log [\frac{I}{I_0} ]$

$= 14.15 + 82$

$Z_{26}= 96.15 dB$

Time dilation: A missile moves with speed 6.5-10 m/s with respect to an observer on the ground. How long will it take the missil

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The time taken by missile's clock is $4.6\times 10^{6} s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the missile, $v_{m = 6.5\times 10^{3}} m/s$

Now,

If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:

T' = T + 1

Now, using the time dilation eqn:

$T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T'}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T + 1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = (1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ (1)

Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:

We know that:

$(1 + x)^{a} = 1 + ax$

Thus eqn (1) becomes:

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = 1 - \frac{- 1}{2}.\frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}$

$T = \frac{2c^{2}}{v_{m}^{2}}$

Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:

$T = \frac{2(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(6.5\times 10^{3})^{2}}$

$T = 4.6\times 10^{6} s$
