You are travelling at 60.0 mph on the Grand Central Parkway near exit 10 where it is (nearly) parallel to the Long Island Expres

sway (LIE). a) A truck on the LIE going in the SAME direction as you is travelling at 55.0 mph. What is YOUR relative velocity compared to that truck? b) A truck on the LIE going in the OPPOSITE direction as you is travelling at 55.0 mph. What is YOUR relative velocity compared to that truck?

Answer:

a)Vr= 5 mph

b)Vr= 115 mph

Explanation:

Lets

your velocity ,u= 60 mph

velocity of truck ,v= 55 mph

When object are moving in opposite direction the relative velocity = u +v When object are moving in opposite direction the relative velocity = u - v

a)

Truck is moving in the same direction ,so the relative velocity

Vr= = u - v

Vr= 60 - 55

Vr= 5 mph

b)

Truck is moving in the opposite direction ,so the relative velocity

Vr= = u+v

Vr= 60 + 55

Vr= 115 mph

A 0.075 kg ball in a kinetic sculpture is raised 1.33 m above the ground by a motorized vertical conveyor belt. A constant frict

irinina [24]

Answer : The total work done in raising the ball is, 0.98 J

Explanation : Given,

Mass of the ball = 0.075 kg

Height raised of the ball = 1.33 m

As we know that the object is moving with the constant velocity, that means the work done against the gravity will be the net-work done.

So, the work done will be:

$w=mgh$

where,

w = work done

m = mass of ball

h = height of ball

g = acceleration due of gravity = $9.8m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$w=(0.075kg)\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (1.33m)$

$w=0.97755J=0.98J$

Thus, the total work done in raising the ball is, 0.98 J

Camping equipment weighting 5000N is pulled across a frozen lake by means of a horizontal rope. There is a frictional force of 3

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The work done by the campers is $4\times10^{5}\ J$

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 5000 N

Frictional force = 300 n

Distance = 1000 m

Constant rate of speed = 0.20 m/s²

We need to calculate the force

Using newton's law of motion

$F-F_{\mu}=ma$

$F-300=\dfrac{5000}{10}\times0.20$

$F=\dfrac{5000}{10}\times0.20+300$

$F=400\ N$

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times d$

Put the value into the formula

$W=400\times1000$

$W=4\times10^{5}\ J$

Hence, The work done by the campers is $4\times10^{5}\ J$

In a Rutherford scattering experiment a target nucleus has a diameter of 1.34×10-14 m. The incoming α particle has a mass of 6.6

Rasek [7]

Answer:

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 1.33 x 10⁻¹⁴ m

mass = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

wavelength is equal to diameter

de broglie wavelength equal to diameter

$\lambda = \dfrac{h}{mv}$

$1.33 \times 10^{-14}= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times v}$

$v= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times 1.33 \times 10^{-14}}$

v = 7.5 x 10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy is equal to

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times (7.5\times 10^6)^2$

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

A coil has N turns enclosing an area of A. In a physics laboratory experiment, the coil is rotated during the time interval Δt f

scoray [572]

Answer:

BA

0

$\dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}$

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field

A = Area

$\theta$ = Angle

t = Time taken

Before rotation the magnetic flux is given by

$\phi_i=BAsin\theta\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BAsin90\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BA$

Magnetic flux is BA

After rotation the magnetic flux is given by

$\phi_i=BAsin\theta\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BAsin0\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=0$

The magnetic flux is 0

Magnitude of emf is given by

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}$

The magnitude of the average emf induced in the entire coil is $\dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}$

Why do you think a clothes dryer requires a 220-volt outlet, while a toaster only requires a 110-volt outlet?

hammer [34]

A toaster needs a 110-volt outlet because it doesn’t need too much electricity. Electricity can be converted to heat, and toaster only needs to be heated and nothing else that requires extra electricity while clothes dyer requires higher voltage because it needs more effort and electricity in order to do its function.
