1 answer:

3 0

Answer: A system or frame of reference are those conventions used by an observer (usually standing at a point on the ground) to be able to measure the position and other physical magnitudes.

A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below

siniylev [52]

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J$

Power is given by

$P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds$

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds

A car is traveling north at 17.7 m/s . After 6 it’s velocity is 141 in the same direction. Find the magnitude and direction of t

Furkat [3]

By equation of motion we have v = u + at

Where u = Initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time taken and a = acceleration

Here v = 141 m/s, u = 17.7 m/s and t = 6 s

On substitution we will get

141 = 17.7+ 6a

So, a = (141-17.7)/6 = 20. 55 m/ $s^{2}$

Aceeleration = 20. 55 m/ $s^{2}$ along north direction.

An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 2.20 10-6 m2 carries a current of 4.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.7

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

Explanation:

We can find the drift speed by using the following equation:

$v = \frac{I}{nqA}$

Where:

I: is the current = 4.50 A

n: is the number of electrons

q: is the modulus of the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

A: is the cross-sectional area = 2.20x10⁻⁶ m²

We need to find the number of electrons:

$n = \frac{6.022\cdot 10^{23} atoms}{1 mol}*\frac{1 mol}{26.982 g}*\frac{2.70 g}{1 cm^{3}}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}$

Now, we can find the drift speed:

$v = \frac{I}{nqA} = \frac{4.50 A}{6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*2.20 \cdot 10^{-6} m^{2}} = 2.12 \cdot 10^{-4} m/s$

Therefore, the drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

I hope it helps you!
