1 answer:

Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

Explanation:Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the food we eat and drink. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.

You carry a 5 kg sack of potatoes across the store for 5 minutes, and you wait in line holding it for 30 seconds before you get

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The only work done is when the person lifts the sack over a distance, W = 78.48 [N]

Explanation:

We have to remember the definition of work, which tells us that work is the result of a force by a distance, we must apply this concept in each of the movements of the person in the problem described.

W = F * d

where:

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

The force is given by the producto of the mass by the gravity.

F = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 [N]

W = 49.05 * 1.6 = 78.48 [N]

What is the mass of a rock lifted 2 meters off the ground that has 196 J of potential energy?

eimsori [14]

Answer:

10kg

Explanation:

Let PE=potential energy

PE=196J

g(gravitational force)=9.8m/s^2

h(change in height)=2m

m=?

PE=m*g*(change in h)

196=m*9.8*2

m=10kg

A bungee jumper with mass 65.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After reaching his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, hitting

ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a bungee jumper is 65 kg

The time period of the oscillation is 38 s, hitting a low point eight more times.It means its time period is

$T=\dfrac{38}{8}\\\\T=4.75\ s$

After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge.

For an oscillating object, the time period is given by :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

k = spring stiffness constant

So,

$k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2\times 65}{(4.75)^2}\\\\k=113.43\ N/m$

When the cord is in air,

mg=kx

x = the extension in the cord

$x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{65\times 9.8}{113.6}\\\\x=5.6\ m$

So, the unstretched length of the bungee cord is equal to 25 m - 5.6 m = 19.4 m

A circular loop ( radius = 0.5 m) carries a current of 3.0 A and has unit normal vector of (2i - j +2k)/3 what is x component of

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

$T=9.42Nm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius $r= 0.5 m$

Current $I= 3.0 A$

Normal vector $n=\frac{(2i - j +2k)}{3}$

Magnetic field $B= (2i-6j) T$

Generally the equation for Area is mathematically given by

$A=\pi r^2$

$A=3.1415 *0.5^2$

$A=0.7853 m^2$

Generally the equation for Torque is mathematically given by

$T=A(i'*B)$

Where

$i'*B= \begin{bmatrix}2&-1&2\\2&-6&0\end{bmatrix}$

$X\ component\ of\ i'*B= [(-1 * 0)-(2*-6)]$

$X\ component\ of\ i'*B=12$

Therefore

$T=0.7853*12$

$T=9.42Nm$
