Why is a shadow formed

Physics
2 answers:
a_sh-v [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Shadows are made by blocking light. Light rays travel from a source in straight lines. If an opaque (solid) object gets in the way, it stops light rays from traveling through it. The size and shape of a shadow depend on the position and size of the light source compared to the object.

An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 60 cm long and has a mass of 3.8 kg, with the center of
Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) τ = 26.58 Nm

(b) τ = 18.79 Nm

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

d₁ = perpendicular distance between ball and shoulder = 60 cm = 0.6 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.6 m)

τ₁ = 17.64 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of 60 cm = (0.4)(60 cm) = 24 cm = 0.24 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.24 m)

τ₂ = 8.94 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 17.64 Nm + 8.94 Nm

<u>τ = 26.58 Nm</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Now, the arm is at 45° below horizontal line.

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

42.42 cm = 0.4242 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.4242 m)

τ₁ = 12.47 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of (60 cm)(Cos 45°) = (0.4)(42.42 cm) = 16.96 cm = 0.1696 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.1696 m)

τ₂ = 6.32 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 12.47 Nm + 6.32 Nm

<u>τ = 18.79 Nm</u>

A 2.5-L tank initially is empty, and we want to fill it with 10 g of ammonia. The ammonia comes from a line with saturated vapor
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

592.92 x 10³ Pa

Explanation:

Mole of ammonia required = 10 g / 17 =0 .588 moles

We shall have to find pressure of .588 moles of ammonia at 30 degree having volume of 2.5 x 10⁻³ m³. We can calculate it as follows .

From the relation

PV = nRT

P x 2.5 x 10⁻³ =  .588 x 8.32 x ( 273 + 30 )

P = 592.92 x 10³ Pa

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3
hodyreva [135]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) 3.7\times 10^2J/^oC

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the energy or heat.

Formula used :

E=V\times I\times t

where,

E = energy (in joules)

V = voltage (in volt)

I = current (in ampere)

t = time (in seconds)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

E=(3.6V)\times (2.6A)\times (350s)

E=3276J

Now we have to calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

Formula used :

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{E}{T_{final}-T_{initial}}

where,

C = heat capacity of the calorimeter

T_{initial} = initial temperature = 20.3^oC

T_{final} = final temperature = 29.1^oC

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

C=\frac{3276J}{(29.1-20.3)^oC}

C=372.27J/^oC=3.7\times 10^2J/^oC

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is, 3.7\times 10^2J/^oC

A steel cable with Cross Sectional Area 3.00cm² has an elastic limit of 2.40 x 10^8pascals. Find the maximum upward acceleration
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Stress = F / A       force per unit area

A = 3.00 cm^2 = 3 E-4  m^2

F = 2.4E8 N/m^2 * 3E-4 m^2 = 7.2E4 N    max force applied

F/3 = 2.4E4 N  if force not to exceed limit   (= f)

f = M a

a = 2.4 E4 N / 1.2 E3 kg = 20 m / s^2      about 2 g
