Answer:

The time after which the two stones meet is tₓ = 4 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The height of the building, h = 200 m

The velocity of the stone thrown from foot of the building, U = 50 m/s

Using the II equation of motion

S = ut + ½ gt²

Let tₓ be the time where the two stones meet and x be the distance covered from the top of the building

The equation for the stone dropped from top of the building becomes

x = 0 + ½ gtₓ²

The equation for the stone thrown from the base becomes

S - x = U tₓ - ½ gtₓ² (∵ the motion of the stone is in opposite direction)

Adding these two equations,

x + (S - x) = U tₓ

S = U tₓ

200 = 50 tₓ

∴ tₓ = 4 s

Hence, the time after which the two stones meet is tₓ = 4 s

Two charged objects separated by some distance attract each other. If the charges on both objects are doubled with no change in

Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) The force between them quadruples

Explanation:

According to coulomb's law, initial force between the two charged objects is given as;

$F_1=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

where;

k is coulomb's constant

q₁ is the charge on the first object

q₂ is the charge on the second object

r is the distance between the two objects

When the charges on both objects are doubled, then;

q₁ = 2q₁

q₂ = 2q₂

Force between the two charged objects will become

$F_2 = \frac{K2q_12q_2}{r^2} = \frac{4Kq_1q_2}{r^2} = 4(\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}) = 4F_1$

Therefore, the force between them quadruples

At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 ✕ 10−4 T, pointing 75° below the horizontal in a north-south plane. A

saveliy_v [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Magnetic field,B= $0.6\times 10^{-4} T$

$\theta=75^{\circ}$

Length of wire,l=15 m

Current,I=19 A

a.We have to find the magnitude of magnetic force and direction of magnetic force.

Magnetic force,F= $IBlsin\theta$

Using the formula

$F=0.6\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 19sin75$

$F=16.5\times 10^{-3} N$

Direction= $tan\theta=cot(90-75)=tan15^{\circ}$

$\theta=15^{\circ}$

15 degree above the horizontal in the northward direction.

Normal atmospheric pressure is 1.013 105 Pa. The approach of a storm causes the height of a mercury barometer to drop by 27.1 mm

Burka [1]

Answer:

The atmospheric pressure is $0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Atmospheric pressure $P_{atm}= 1.013\times10^{5}\ Pa$

drop height h'= 27.1 mm

Density of mercury $\rho= 13.59 g/cm^3$

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of pressure

$p = \rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$1.013\times10^{5}=13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8\times h$

$h =\dfrac{1.013\times10^{5}}{13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8}$

$h=0.76\ m$

We need to calculate the new height

$h''=h - h'$

$h''=0.76-27.1\times10^{-3}$

$h''=0.76-0.027$

$h''=0.733\ m$

We need to calculate the atmospheric pressure

Using formula of atmospheric pressure

$P=\rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$P= 13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8\times0.733$

$P=0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa$

Hence, The atmospheric pressure is $0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa$ .

How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 6526 kg car vertically upwards at 8.9 m/s^2?

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The value is $T = 122036.2 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the car is $m = 6526 \ kg$

The acceleration is $a= 8.9 \ m/s^2$

Generally the net force applied on the rope is mathematically represented as

$F_{net} = T - W$

Here W is the weight of the car which is evaluated as

$W = m * g$

=> $W = 6526 * 9.8$

=> $W = 63954.8 \ N$

Generally the net force can also be mathematically represented as

$F = m * a$

So

$m * a = T - 63954.8$

=> $6526 * 8.9 = T - 63954.8$

=> $T = 122036.2 \ N$

An object with a mass M = 250 g is at rest on a plane that makes an angle θ = 30 o above the horizontal. The coefficient of kine

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

v = 79.2 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the object, m = 250 g = 0.250 kg

Angle, $\theta = 30^{\circ}$

Coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_{k} = 0.100$

Mass attached to the string, m = 0.200 kg

Distance, d = 30 cm = 0.03 m

Now,

The tension in the string is given by:

$Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = T$ (1)

Also

T = m(g + a)

Thus eqn (1) can be written as:

$Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = m(g - a)$

$Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = mg + ma$

$mg - Mgsin\theta - \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta = (M - m)a$

$a = \frac{0.2\times 9.8 - 0.250\times 9.8\times sin30^{\circ} - 0.1\times 0.250\times 9.8\times cos30^{\circ}}{0.250 - 0.200}$

$a = 10.45\ m/s^{2}$

Now, the speed is given by the third eqn of motion with initial velocity being zero:

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2ad$

where

u = initial velocity = 0

Thus

$v = \sqrt{2ad}$

$v = \sqrt{2\times 10.45\times 0.03} = 0.792\ m/s$
