For the first challenge, Lex demands that Superman use the weight of a small stone to lift a boulder. Understanding the principl

es of fluids, Superman forms a hydraulic jack out of spare pipes, bits of metal, and river water. He places the small stone on the small piston, the boulder on the large piston, and, sure enough, the weight of the small stone raises the boulder sitting on the large piston. Explain how Superman uses Pascal’s Principle to succeed.

Pascal's law states that the pressure exerted on an incompressible fluid and in equilibrium within a container of non-deformable walls is transmitted with equal intensity in all directions and at all points of the fluid. In other words, it could be summed up further, stating that any pressure exerted on a fluid will spread over the entire substance evenly.

When Superman puts the stone on one side of the hydraulic system, the weight of the stone creates a pressure on the fluid that ends up being transmitted to lift the piston attached to the large stone. In order for the law of conservation of energy to exist and be maintained, the small stone has to move a lot so that the large stone moves only slightly, but moves safely.

Suppose that the distance an aircraft travels along a runway before takeoff is given by Upper D equals (5 divided by 3 )t square
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

a. Time=25seconds

b.distance=1041.67m

Explanation:

a.The equation for D in terms of m/s is \frac{250}{3}m/s after conversion.

To find when speed reaches 300km/hr=83.33m/s, we find D\prime and solve for t

D=\frac{5}{3}t^2\\D\prime=\frac{5}{3}(2t)=\frac{10}{3}t=\frac{250}{3}\\t=25sec

b. From a, above we already have our t=25seconds as the time it takes before the plane is airborne.

#To find distance travelled in that time , we substitute fort=25 in our distance equation:

D(25)=\frac{5}{3}(25)^2\\=1041.67m

Hence the distance of the plane before it gets airborne is 1041.67m

You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8,7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70%
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Time = 12.43 years

Mass = 4.71.43kg

Explanation:

Given the following :

Distance = 8.7 light years

Speed = 70% the speed of light

Diameter = 6m

Lengtg = 25m

Density = 1 hydrogen atom/m^3

Mass of proton(Me) = 1.673x 10^-27

A.) time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius :

From the relation: Speed = (distance / time)

Time = distance / speed

Time = (70/100) × 1 light year

Distance = 8.7 light years

Time = 8.7 / 0.7 = 12.4285 years

Time = 12.43 years

B.) Mass of inter-stellar gas that collides with the spaceship can be calcuted by finding the product of the surface area of the cylindrical space ship and the mass of proton.

That is ;

surface area * mass of proton

Surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + πr^2×Me

= 2πrh + Me×πr^2)

=( 2 × 22/7 × 3 × 25) + (22/7 × 3^2 × 1.673 * 10^-27)

= 2× 235.714 + 28.285) × 1.673 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 47.31 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 4.73 × 10^-26

= 4.71.43kg approximately

An electron moves at 0.130 c as shown in the figure (Figure 1). There are points: A, B, C, and D 2.10 μm from the electron.
Olegator [25]

Hi there!

We can use Biot-Savart's Law for a moving particle:
B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v}\times \vec{r}}{r^2 }

B = Magnetic field strength (T)
v = velocity of electron (0.130c = 3.9 × 10⁷ m/s)

q = charge of particle (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)

r = distance from particle (2.10 μm)

There is a cross product between the velocity vector and the radius vector (not a quantity, but specifies a direction). We can write this as:

B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }

Where 'θ' is the angle between the velocity and radius vectors.

a)
To find the angle between the velocity and radius vector, we find the complementary angle:

θ = 90° - 60° = 30°

Plugging 'θ' into the equation along with our other values:

B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }\\\\B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(30)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 }

B = \boxed{7.07 *10^{-10} T}

b)
Repeat the same process. The angle between the velocity and radius vector is 150°, and its sine value is the same as that of sin(30°). So, the particle's produced field will be the same as that of part A.

c)

In this instance, the radius vector and the velocity vector are perpendicular so

'θ' = 90°.

B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(90)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 } = \boxed{1.415 * 10^{-9}T}

d)
This point is ALONG the velocity vector, so there is no magnetic field produced at this point.

Aka, the radius and velocity vectors are parallel, and since sin(0) = 0, there is no magnetic field at this point.

\boxed{B = 0 T}

The motorcycle travels with a constant speed v0 along the path that, for a short distance, takes the form of a sine curve. Deter
Alexandra [31]

Let at any instant of time the speed is vo and the angle made by the bike with the horizontal is given

now we have

component of speed in x direction given as

v_x = v_0cos\theta

component of speed in y direction will be

v_y = v_0sin\theta

now from above two equations we can say that here

\theta = angle with the horizontal at any instant

and since here it is a sine curve so we know that

y = sin(x)

so we have slope of graph

tan\theta = \frac{dy}{dx} = cos(x)
