2. How much work does gravity do in causing a 6 kg hammer to fall to the ground from a

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: heavy objects will have a higher terminal velocity than light objects. ... It takes a larger air resistance force to equal the weight of a heavier object. A larger air resistance force requires more speed.) Therefore, heavy objects will fall faster in air than light objects.

Which of the following has the largest momentum?

san4es73 [151]

Momentum = mass x velocity

Thus Option A is the correct answer

Momentum (dog) = 10 kg x (0.447 x 30) m/s

= 134.1 Kg m/s

Momentum ( bullet) = 0.02 kg x (0.447 x 800) m/s

= 7.152 Kg m/s

Momentum ( truck) = 0, as v = 0

tightrope has both low mass and low speed, thus its momentum will be low

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats on water, but its index of refraction is 1.47, higher than that of water. When

kupik [55]

Answer:

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

Explanation:

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats over water.

Given $n_{canola}= 1.47$

which is higher than that of water

refractive index of water $n_{water}=1.33$

to calculate critical angle of light going from the oil into water

we know that

$sinc= \frac{n_{water}}{n_{canola}}$

now putting values we get

$sinc= \frac{1.33}{1.47}$

c= $sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.47} )$

c=69.79°

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

A small object with a 5.0-mC charge is accelerating horizontally on a friction-free surface at 0.0050 m/s2 due only to an electr

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$0.002 N/C$

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge of object, q = 5 mC = $5 * 10^{-3} C$

Acceleration of object, a = $0.005 m/s^2$

Mass of object, m = 2.0 g

The Electric field exerts a particular force on the object, causing it to accelerate (Electrostatic force).

We know that Electrostatic force, F, is given in terms of Electric field, E, as:

F = qE

This means that the object exerts a force of -qE on the Electric force (Action with equal and opposite reaction).

The object also has a force, F, due to its acceleration a. This force is the product of its mass and acceleration. Mathematically:

F = ma

Equating the two forces of the object, we get:

-qE = ma

=> $E = \frac{-ma}{q}$

Solving for E, we have:

$E = \frac{-2 * 10^{-3} * 0.005}{5 * 10^{-3}} \\\\\\E = -0.002 N/C$

The magnitude will be:

$|E| = |-0.002| N/C = 0.002 N/C$

The electric field has a magnitude of 0.002 N/C.

A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it aroun

cluponka [151]

Answer:Highest frequency =618.89Hz

Lowest frequency=582.22Hz

Explanation:

The linear velocity of a sound generator is related to angular velocity and is given as

Vs = rω where

r = the radius of circular path = 1.0 m

ω is the angular velocity of the sound generator. = 100 rpm

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

100rpm =10.472 rad/ s

Vs = rω

= 1m x 10.472rad/ s= 10.472m/s

A) Highest frequency heard by a student in the classroom = Maximum frequency. Using the Doppler effect formulae,

f max = (v/ v-vs) fs

Where , v is the speed of the sound in air at 20 degrees celcius =

343 metres per second

vs is the linear velocity of the sound generator=10.472m/s

fs is the frequency of the sound generator= 600 Hz

f max = (343/ 343 - 10.472) x 600

=343/332.528) x600

=618.89Hz

B) Lowest frequency heard by a student in the classroom = Minimum frequency

f min = (v/ v+vs) fs

(343/ 343 + 10.472) x 600

=343/353.472) x 600

=582.22hz

16. The energy absorbed in 10minutes by an electrical heater is 1.5 MJ. The supply voltage is 240 V. calculate: a) The current d

dsp73

Answer:

If by 1.5 MJ you mean 1.5E6 Joules then

W = P t = power X time

W / t = P power

P = 1.5E6 J / 600 sec = 2500 J / s

P = I V

a) I = 2500 J/s / (240 J/c) = 10.4 C / sec = 10.4 amps

b) Q = I t = 10.4 C / sec * 300 sec = 3120 Coulombs

c) E = P * t = 2500 J / sec * 100 hr * 3600 sec / hr = 9.0E8 Joules
