a) A unit of time sometimes used in microscopic physics is the shake. One shake equals 10–8 s. Are there more shakes in a second

than there are seconds in a year? (b) Humans have existed for about 106 years, whereas the universe is about 1010 years old. If the age of the universe is defined as 1 "universe day," where a universe day consists of "universe seconds" as a normal day consists of normal seconds, how many universe seconds have humans existe

Answer:

a) Yes, there are 10^8 shakes in a second (1 s \frac{1 shake}{10^{-8}s}=10^8 shake) in a year there are 31,536,000 seconds... that is 3.1536x10^7 (1year\frac{365 day}{1 year} \frac{24 h}{1 day} \frac{60 min}{1 h}\frac{60s}{1min}=3.1536 *10^7)

b) Note that the defined universe day will have 60*60*24=86400 universe seconds if the seconds are defined as normal seconds.

Also one universe day (or 86400 universe seconds) is equivalent to 1010 years. Now using a rule of three we can know the seconds that humans have existed.

106 years * \frac{86,400 universe-seconds}{1,010 years}=9,067.728 s

That is about 2 and half hours.

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy.
Alina [70]

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy. It is a true statement .

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is basically the energy of mass in motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative and it is a scalar quantity i.e. it provides only the magnitude and not the direction.

According to law of conservation of mechanical energy change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the change in the kinetic energy.

According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved i.e., the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature.

since, potential energy is stored in the form of work done

Work done = Fs cos (theta)

If force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion

theta =   90 °

cos (90 ) = 0

Work done  = 0

since , there is no work done , hence kinetic energy will not change

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different direc
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

a) 24.33 m of distance.

b) 34.55° east of the south.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The whole exercise is the following:

<em>"Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different directions. Ricardo walks 28.0 m in a direction 60.0° west of north. Jane walks 12.0 m in a direction 30.0° south of west. They then stop and turn to face each other. </em>

<em>(a) What is the distance between them? </em>

<em>(b) In what direction should Ricardo walk to go directly toward Jane?</em><em>"</em>

Now that we know what we need to do in this question, let's head for every part of the problem.

<u>a) Distance between Ricardo and Jane</u>

In this case, we need to analyze the given data:

Ricardo (which we will call R) is 28 m from the starting point at 60° west of north, and Jane (J) is 12 m at 30° south of west. So the distance between them, will be the point where they both stop and face each other. This point can be seen in the image attached (See picture).

Let's call the distance between them as "D", to get the distance of D, according to the picture will be:

D = J - R   (1)

However, as they are facing in different angles and directions, we cannot do the difference of their values distance just like that. In order to do that, we need to calculate the components in the "x" and "y" axis of each vector. In that way, we can get the components of x and y of the Distance D, and then, the whole distance between them will be:

D = √Dx² + Dy²     (2)

So, let's get the components of x and y of R and J.

For Ricardo (R):

Rx = R sin60° = 28 sin60° = -24.25 m

Ry = R cos60° = 28 cos60° = 14 m

The sign "-" it's because R it's on the second quadrant, therefore in x, we'll have to add the negative.

For Jane (J):

Jx = J cos30° = 12 cos30° = -10.39 m

Jy = J sin30° = 12 sin30° = -6 m

Again, the negative is added because J is on the third quadrant.

Now that we have the components, let's calculate vector D using expression (1):

Dx = -10.39 - (-24.25) = 13.86 m

Dy = -6 - 14 = -20 m

Now, using expression (2) we can finally know the distance between Jane And Ricardo:

D = √(-20)² + (13.86)²

<h2>D = 24.33 m</h2>

This is the distance between Jane and Ricardo.

b) Direction of Ricardo walking to Jane

In this case, we already have the components of x and y of the distance between them, so, to know the direction:

Tanα = Dy/Dx

α = tan⁻¹ (Dy/Dx)

Replacing the values we have:

α = tan⁻¹ (-20/13.86)

α = 55.45°

Which should south of east or:

β = 90 - 55.45

<h2>β = 34.55°</h2>

Ricardo should walk 34.55° east of south

Hope this helps

A musician on a unicycle is riding at a steady 6.2 m/s while playing their well tuned oboe at an A above middle C (440 Hz). They
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The frequency of the beat is  f_t =  8Hz    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the ride v = 6,2 m/s

   The frequency of the oboe is  f = 440Hz

    The temperature outside is  T = 27^oC

Generally the speed of sound generated in air is mathematically evaluated as

             v_s = 331  + 0.61 T

Substituting value

           v_s = 331 + 0.61 *27

           v_s = 347.47 \ m/s

The frequency of sound(generated by the musician on he park) getting to the musicians on the unicycle is mathematically evaluated as

                 f_a =  \frac{v_s }{v_s - v} f

substituting values

                f_a =  \frac{347.47 }{347.47  - 6.2} * 440                

               f_a =  448Hz

Since the musician on the park is not moving the frequency of sound (from the musicians riding the unicycle )getting to him is  = 440Hz

    The beat frequency these musician here is mathematically evaluated as

                  f_t = f_a - f  

So               f_t = 448 - 440  

                  f_t =  8Hz
