Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

A heavy anvil is suspended by a 0.75 m long steel wire that has a mass of 12 g. When the wire is plucked, it hums at its fundame

Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

It is given that,

length of steel wire, l = 0.75 m

Mass of the wire, m = 12 g = 0.012 kg

Fundamental frequency, f = 120 Hz

We need to find the mass of the anvil (m'). The fundamental frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{v}{2l}$

v is the speed of the mass

Speed is given by :

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

$\mu$ is the mass per unit length, $\mu=\dfrac{m}{l}$

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

T is the tension in the wire,

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{Tl}{m}}$

$T=4f^2lm$

$T=4(120)^2\times 0.75\times 0.012$

T = 518.4 N

Tension in the wire, T = m' g

$m'=\dfrac{T}{g}$

$m'=\dfrac{518.4}{9.8}$

m' = 52.89 kg

So, the mass of the anvil is 52.89 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 34.0 m/s. A catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. Find the magnit

Sidana [21]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

$v_0$ = Initial velocity

$y_0$ = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

$t = \frac{18.6}{34}$

$t = 0.547s$

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2$

$y = 1.46m$

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.

A block of mass m is attached to a rope wound around the outer rim of a disk of radius R and moment of inertia I, which is free

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

I is the moment of inertia of the pulley, α is the angular acceleration of the pulley and T is the tension in the rope. Let a is the linear acceleration.

The relation between the linear acceleration and the angular acceleration is

a = R α .... (1)

According to the diagram,

T x R = I x α

T x R = I x a / R from equation (1)

T = I x a / R² .... (2)

mg - T = ma .... (3)

Substitute the value of T from equation (2) in equation (3)

$mg - \frac{Ia}{R^{2}}=ma$
