Marybeth and Grant are pushing on a wagon, both pushing in opposite directions. Marybeth is pushing to the left with a force of

34 Newtons. Grant is pushing to the right with a force of 48 Newtons. What is the net force and which direction will the wagon move?

Answer:

14 N to the right

Explanation:

The net force is equal to the resultant of the forces acting on the wagon. In this case, we are considering two forces acting on the wagon:

- The force applied by Marybeth, to the left, of magnitude 34 N

- The force applied by Grant, to the right, of magnitude 48 N

Since the two forces are in opposite directions, in order to find the net force, we must choose a positive direction. Let's take "right" as positive direction, so the net force is:

F=+48 N-34 N=+14 N

And the positive sign means the net force is to the right. Due to this net force different from zero, the wagon will have an acceleration to the right, so if the wagon was at rest, it will start moving to the right.

The take-up reel of a cassette tape has an average radius of 1.5 cm. Find the length of tape (in meters) that passes around the
Rudik [331]

Answer:

 1.28 m

Explanation:

Given;

Radius, r = 1.5 cm =  0.015 m

Time, t = 19 s

Average angular speed = 4.5 rad/s

Consider a point when the tape is moving at a constant velocity along the circumference of the circular reel of radius  r. The linear velocity  v at this point is given by;

                                      v = rω                           ----(1)

Where

v is the linear velocity of the circular motion

r is the radius of the reel

ω is the the angular velocity.

At a point the tap undergoes a linear motion before passing round the reel of the cassette. The linear velocity v at this point is given by;

                                v = L/t                          ----(2)

where;

v is the velocity of the linear motion

L is the length of the tape (distance covered by the tape)

t is the time taken

Equating equation(1) and equation (2)

                       L/t = rω

                       L = rωt

Substituting the given values,

                       L = 0.015 × 4.5 × 19

                       L = 1.2825 m

                       L = 1.28 m

A golf ball is whacked in a direction 25 degrees south of the east axis. The ball travels 125m. What are the east and north comp
Natalka [10]

<u>We are given:</u>

Direction of motion: 25 degrees south of the east axis

Distance covered  = 125 m

<u>East component of the Ball:</u>

<em>this component is denoted by green color in the image</em>

Once we drop a perpendicular from the end of the direction vector on the x-axis, we get a right angled triangle

The magnitude of the side of the triangle on the x-axis denotes the east component of the ball

Using trigonometry, we find that the east component of the ball is:

125 * Cos(25 degrees)

125 * 0.9 = 112.5 i   (here, i denotes rightward direction on the x-axis)

<u />

<u>North Component of the Ball:</u>

<em>this component is denoted by blue color in the image</em>

Using trigonometry, we find that the North component of the ball is:

125* Sin(25 degrees)  (-j)      <em>[j denotes upward movement on the y-axis, since the vector is acting downwards, we have used '-j']</em>

125 * 0.42 (-j)

52.5 (-j) =   -52.5 j

Therefore the direction vector of the ball is 112.5 i - 52.5 j

<em>where 112.5 i is the East Component and -52.5 is the North Component</em>

A 6.00-mH solenoid is connected in series with a 5.0-μF capacitor and an AC source. The solenoid has internal resistance 3.0 Ω w
son4ous [18]

Answer:

5773.50269 Hz

23 A

Explanation:

L = Inductance = 6 mH

C = Capacitance = 5 μF

R = Resistance = 3 Ω

\epsilon = Maximum emf = 69 V

Resonant angular frequency is given by

\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{6\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5773.50269\ Hz

The resonant angular frequency is 5773.50269 Hz

Current is given by

I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{69}{3}\\\Rightarrow I=23\ A

The current amplitude at the resonant angular frequency is 23 A

What happens to an electromagnetic waves as it passes from space to matter
sertanlavr [38]

Interaction of Electromagnetic Radiation and Matter

It is well known that all matter is comprised of atoms. But subatomically, matter is made up of mostly empty space. For example, consider the hydrogen atom with its one proton, one neutron, and one electron. The diameter of a single proton has been measured to be about 10-15 meters. The diameter of a single hydrogen atom has been determined to be 10-10meters, therefore the ratio of the size of a hydrogen atom to the size of the proton is 100,000:1. Consider this in terms of something more easily pictured in your mind. If the nucleus of the atom could be enlarged to the size of a softball (about 10 cm), its electron would be approximately 10 kilometers away. Therefore, when electromagnetic waves pass through a material, they are primarily moving through free space, but may have a chance encounter with the nucleus or an electron of an atom.

Because the encounters of photons with atom particles are by chance, a given photon has a finite probability of passing completely through the medium it is traversing. The probability that a photon will pass completely through a medium depends on numerous factors including the photon’s energy and the medium’s composition and thickness. The more densely packed a medium’s atoms, the more likely the photon will encounter an atomic particle. <span>In other words, the more subatomic particles in a material (higher Z number), the greater the likelihood that interactions will occur  </span>Similarly, the more material a photon must cross through, the more likely the chance of an encounter.

When a photon does encounter an atomic particle, it transfers energy to the particle. The energy may be reemitted back the way it came (reflected), scattered in a different direction or transmitted forward into the material. Let us first consider the interaction of visible light. Reflection and transmission of light waves occur because the light waves transfer energy to the electrons of the material and cause them to vibrate. If the material is transparent, then the vibrations of the electrons are passed on to neighboring atoms through the bulk of the material and reemitted on the opposite side of the object. If the material is opaque, then the vibrations of the electrons are not passed from atom to atom through the bulk of the material, but rather the electrons vibrate for short periods of time and then reemit the energy as a reflected light wave. The light may be reemitted from the surface of the material at a different wavelength, thus changing its color.

<span>X-Rays and Gamma Rays
</span>X-rays and gamma rays also transfer their energy to matter though chance encounters with electrons and atomic nuclei. However, X-rays and gamma rays have enough energy to do more than just make the electrons vibrate. When these high energy rays encounter an atom, the result is an ejection of energetic electrons from the atom or the excitation of electrons. The term "excitation" is used to describe an interaction where electrons acquire energy from a passing charged particle but are not removed completely from their atom. Excited electrons may subsequently emit energy in the form of x-rays during the process of returning to a lower energy state.
