A cruise ship with a mass of 1.03 ✕ 107 kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.752 m/s. It comes to rest after traveling 6.94 m, dama

ging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain's finances. Calculate the average force (in N) exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (Hint: First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest, assuming a constant force. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Answer:

419815.72 N

Explanation:

F = Force

t = Time

Average speed

v_{av}=\frac{0.752+0}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_{av}=0.376\ m/s

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time}=\frac{6.94}{0.376}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=18.45\ s

Impulse

J=m\Delta v\\\Rightarrow Ft=m\Delta v\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{m\Delta v}{t}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1.03\times 10^7\times (0-0.752)}{18.45}\\\Rightarrow F=-419815.72\ N

The force exerted on the pier is 419815.72 N

You charge a parallel-plate capacitor, remove it from the battery, and prevent the wires connected to the plates from touching e
Degger [83]

Answer:

i) C decreases

ii) Q remains constant

iii) E remains constant

iv) ΔV increases

Explanation:

i)

We know, capacitance is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_0.A}{d}

\therefore C\propto \frac{1}{d}

<em>In this case as the distance between the plates increases the capacitance decreases while area and permittivity of free space remains constant.</em>

ii)

As the amount of charge has nothing to do with the plate separation in case of an open circuit hence the charge Q remains constant.

iii)

Electric field between the plates is given as:

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

where:

charge density, \sigma=\frac{Q}{A}

<em>As we know that distance of plate separation cannot affect area of the plate. Charge Q and permittivity are also not affected by it, so E remains constant.</em>

iv)

  • From the basic definition of voltage we know that it is the work done per unit charge to move it through a distance.
  • Here we increase the distance so the work done per unit charge increases.

A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The
kirza4 [7]

In order for the refrigerator not to tip over, the maximum acceleration of  1.86 m/s² must not be exceeded.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The term acceleration has to do with the rate at which velocity changes with time.

We have to take the moments at the tipping point of rotation as follows;

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Hence;

F₂ * 1.58 m = F₁ * 0.67 m

The weight at half the width= 30 cm or 0.3 m

Height of refrigerator = 158 cm 0r 1.58 cm

Then;

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.30

a = 1.86 m/s²

In order for the refrigerator not to tip over, the maximum acceleration of  1.86 m/s² must not be exceeded.

True or false: Ultimate tensile strength increases as the thickness of a solid material sample increases.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Tensile strength should remain constant, regardless of thickness. For larger cross sections, it can slightly increase because the atoms in the center become more constricted and therefore less responsive to the applied stress.
