A steel ball of mass m falls from a height h

Physics
1 answer:
SOVA2 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The average force F_avg = m*g

Explanation:

Given:

- Mass of the ball = m

- Initially at height = h

- Dropped from rest v_i = 0

Find:

The average force F_avg that the ball imparts to the scale on every hit.

Solution:

- The velocity of the ball just before it hits the scale can be evaluated by the energy conservation as follows:

                                  E.K_1 + E.P_1 = E.K_2 + E.P_2

- Where,                     E.K = 0 ..... initial velocity V_i = 0

                                  E.P = 0 ...... Scale is the datum reference.

Hence,

                                  E.P_1 = E.K_2

                                  m*g*h = 0.5*m*V_o^2

                                  V_o = sqrt ( 2*g*h)

- We will apply the conservation of momentum on the ball just before it hits the scale and just after produces an impulse. The impulse is given by Newton's second law of motion:

                                  Ft = m*(V_f - V_o )

Where, Ft is the impulse. V_f velocity after impact. V_o = V_f (no loss of energy upon impact) - assumption.

- Taking upward direction as +.

                                  Ft = m*(V_o + V_o ) = 2*m*V_o

                                  Ft = 2*m*sqrt ( 2*g*h)

- The total time between two successive hits T can be calculated by using second kinematic equation of motion in vertical direction, as follows:

                                  y = y(0) + V_o*T - 0.5*g*T^2

Where,                       y = y(0) = 0   ... start and end points same.. Datum

Hence,

                                  0 = 0+ V_o*T - 0.5*g*T^2

                                  0 = V_o - 0.5*g*T

                                  T = 2*V_o / g = 2*sqrt ( 2*g*h) / g

- The average force F_avg can now be calculated using the expression given:

                                  F_avg*T = Ft

                                  F_avg = Ft / T

                                  F_avg = [2*m*sqrt ( 2*g*h)] / [2*sqrt ( 2*g*h) / g]

                                  F_avg = m*g

Ivan

Answer: The elevator must be accelerating.

Explanation:

As the tension force is opposing to the the force of gravity on the load which is hung vertically, and the tension force can adopt any value in order to comply with Newton's 2nd law, if the tension force is less than the force due to gravity, this means that all system is not in equilibrium, so it must be accelerating.

If we assume that the downward is the positive direction, we can write:

mg - T = ma

If T = 0.9 mg, ⇒ mg (1-0.9) =0.1 mg = m a ⇒a = 0.1 g , in downward direction.

A Ray of light falling on rough surface follows the laws of reflection but no image of the object placed before it is C explain
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The light rays falling on a rough surface does follow the laws of reflection. The light rays are incident parallel on the rough surface but due to uneven surface the light rays are not reflected parallel rather they are reflected in different direction. Hence, no image is formed.

A (20*20) cm² loop has a resistance of 0.10 Ω. A magnetic field perpendicular to the loop is B = 4t - 2t², where B is in tesla a
Ilya [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Area of loop=(20\times 20) cm^2=400\times 10^{-4} m^2

1 cm^2=10^{-4} m^2

Resistance, R=0.1\Omega

B=4t-2t^2

We know that magnetic flux

\phi=BA

Emf ,E=\mid \frac{d\phi}{dt}\mid =\mid\frac{d(BA}{dt}\mid =\mid A\frac{dB}{dt}=400\times 10^{-4}\times \frac{4t-2t^2}{dt}\mid =\mid400\times 10^{-4}\times(4-4t)\mid

Current, I=\frac{E}{R}

Current, I=\frac{\mid 400\times 10^{-4}(4-4t)\mid }{0.1}=1.6\mid (1-t)\mid

Substitute t=0 s

Then, I=1.6\mid (1-0)\mid=1.6 A

Substitute t=1 s

Then, I=1.6\mid (1-1)\mid=0

Substitute

t=2 s

Current, I=1.6\mid(1-2)\mid=1.6 A

During metamorphism, what is the major effect of chemically active fluids?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Option b

Explanation:

Metamorphism is the process where the variation of the geological texture resulting from the different arrangement of the minerals or the variation of minerals in protoliths, i.e., pre- existing rocks take place such that there occurs no change in state of the protolith, i.e., it does not melt into magma.

The change takes place as a result of the presence of chemically active fluids, heat and pressure.

There is a reaction between the chemically active fluid and the rock through which it passes and promotes the movement of the dissolved ions of silicate and promotes the growth of the mineral grains.
