A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The  value is   \alpha =  0.002 Np/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The first amplitude of the wave is  E_{max}1 =  98.02 \  V/m

  The first  depth  is  D_1 =  10 \  m

   The second amplitude is  E_{max}2 =  81.87 \  (V/m)

   The second depth is D_2 = 100 \ m

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

   v(x) =  Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)

=>       \frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{  Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)}

So considering the ratio of the equation for the  two depth

\frac{A}{A_S}  =  \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}

=>   \frac{98.02}{81.87}  =  \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}

=>   \alpha  =  \frac{0.18}{90}

=>    \alpha =  0.002 Np/m

A crate rests on a flatbed truck which is initially traveling at 17.9 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

Explanation:

The minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the crate from sliding can be found as follows:

-F_{f} + F = 0      

-F_{f} + ma = 0      

\mu mg = ma

\mu = \frac{a}{g}

Where:

μ: is the coefficient of friction

m: is the mass of the crate

g: is the gravity

a: is the acceleration of the truck

The acceleration of the truck can be found by using the following equation:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d}

Where:  

d: is the distance traveled = 46.1 m

v_{f}: is the final speed of the truck = 0 (it stops)      

v_{0}: is the initial speed of the truck = 17.9 m/s

a = \frac{-(17.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*46.1 m} = -3.48 m/s^{2}        

If we take the reference system on the crate, the force will be positive since the crate will feel the movement in the positive direction.  

\mu = \frac{a}{g}  

\mu = \frac{3.48 m/s^{2}}{9.81 m/s^{2}}

\mu = 0.35

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

I hope it helps you!

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "42.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

(a) 42 N

(b)36.7 N

Explanation:

Nomenclature

F= force test line (N)

W : fish weight  (N)

Problem development

(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed

We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:

∑Fy =0

F-W= 0

42N -W =0  

W = 42N

(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²

We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:

 m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

∑Fy =m*a

m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a

42-W=  ( W/9.8 )*1.41

42= W+0.1439W

42=1.1439W

W= 42/1.1439

W= 36.7  N

A professor drives off with his car (mass 870 kg), but forgot to take his coffee mug (mass 0.47 kg) off the roof. The coefficien
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:6.86 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mas of car=870 kg

coffee mug mass=0.47 kg

coefficient of static friction between mug and roof \mu _s= 0.7

Coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.5

maximum car acceleration is \mu \times g

here coefficient of static friction comes in to action because mug is placed over car . If mug is moving relative to car then \mu _k is come into effect

a_{max}=0.7\times 9.8=6.86 m/s^2

During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 6.8 m/s^2. Assume the forward motion of the car corresponds to a positive directi
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

-24.28571 rad/s²

29.57239 revolutions

3.91176 seconds

52.026478 m

Explanation:

a_t = Tangential acceleration = -6.8 m/s²

r = Radius of wheel = 0.28

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 95 rad/s

\theta = Angle of rotation

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

t = Time taken

Angular acceleration is given by

\alpha=\frac{a_t}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{-6.8}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-24.28571\ rad/s^2

The angular acceleration is -24.28571 rad/s²

\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2^2}{2\alpha}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0^2-95^2}{2\times -24.28571}\\\Rightarrow \theta=185.80885\ rad=185.80885\times \frac{1}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow \theta=29.57239\ rev

The number of revolutions is 29.57239

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-95}{-24.28571}\\\Rightarrow t=3.91176\ s

The time it takes for the car to stop is 3.91176 seconds

Linear distance

s=r\theta\\\Rightarrow s=0.28\times 185.80885\\\Rightarrow s=52.026478\ m

The distance the car travels is 52.026478 m
