A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

e of the water. It takes a time of 2.00 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.600 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.40 m apart.
Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Answer:

a. Speed = 1.6 m/s

b. Amplitude = 0.3 m

c. Speed = 1.6 m/s

Amplitude = 0.15 m

Explanation:

a.

The frequency of the wave must be equal to the reciprocal of the time taken by the boat to move from the highest point to the highest point again. This time will be twice the value of the time taken to travel from the highest point to the lowest point:

frequency = \frac{1}{2(2\ s)} = 0.25 Hz

The wavelength of the wave is the distance between consecutive crests of wave. Therefore,

Wavelength = 6.4 m

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)

<u>Speed = 1.6 m/s</u>

<u></u>

b.

Amplitude is the distance between the mean position of the wave and the extreme position. Hence, it will be half the distance between the highest and lowest point:

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.6 m)

<u>Amplitude = 0.3 m</u>

<u></u>

c.

frequency = \frac{1}{2(2\ s)} = 0.25 Hz

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)

<u>Speed = 1.6 m/s</u>

<u></u>

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.3 m)

<u>Amplitude = 0.15 m</u>

An astronaut goes out for a space walk. Her mass (including space suit, oxygen tank, etc.) is 100 kg. Suddenly, disaster strikes
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

<u>Part A:</u>

Unknown variables:

velocity of the astronaut after throwing the tank.

maximum distance the astronaut can be away from the spacecraft to make it back before she runs out of oxygen.

Known variables:

velocity and mass of the tank.

mass of the astronaut after and before throwing the tank.

maximum time it can take the astronaut to return to the spacecraft.

<u>Part B: </u>

To obtain the velocity of the astronaut we use this equation:

-(momentum of the oxygen tank) = momentum of the astronaut

-mt · vt = ma · vt

Where:

mt = mass of the tank

vt = velocity of the tank

ma = mass of the astronaut

va = velocity of the astronaut

To obtain the maximum distance the astronaut can be away from the spacecraft we use this equation:

x = x0 + v · t

Where:

x = position of the astronaut at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v = velocity.

t = time.

<u>Part C:</u>

The maximum distance the astronaut can be away from the spacecraft is 162 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of momentum, the momentum of the oxygen tank when it is thrown away must be equal to the momentum of the astronaut but in opposite direction. In other words, the momentum of the system astronaut-oxygen tank is the same before and after throwing the tank.

The momentum of the system before throwing the tank is zero because the astronaut is at rest:

Initial momentum = m · v

Where m is the mass of the astronaut plus the equipment (100 kg) and v is its velocity (0 m/s).

Then:

initial momentum = 0

After throwing the tank, the momentum of the system is the sum of the momentums of the astronaut plus the momentum of the tank.

final momentum = mt · vt + ma · va

Where:

mt = mass of the tank

vt = velocity of the tank

ma = mass of the astronaut

va = velocity of the astronaut

Since the initial momentum is equal to final momentum:

initial momentum = final momentum

0 = mt · vt + ma · va

- mt · vt = ma · va

Now, we have proved that the momentum of the tank must be equal to the momentum of the astronaut but in opposite direction.

Solving that equation for the velocity of the astronaut (va):

- (mt · vt)/ma = va

mt = 15 kg

vt = 10 m/s

ma = 100 kg - 15 kg = 85 kg

-(15 kg · 10 m/s)/ 85 kg = -1.8 m/s

The velocity of the astronaut is 1.8 m/s in direction to the spacecraft.

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the spacecraft. The equation of position for an object moving in a straight line at constant velocity is the following:

x = x0 + v · t

where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v = velocity.

t = time.

Initially, the astronaut is at a distance x away from the spacecraft so that

the initial position of the astronaut, x0, is equal to x.

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the spacecraft, the position of the spacecraft will be 0 m.

The velocity of the astronaut is directed towards the spacecraft (the origin of the frame of reference), then, v = -1.8 m/s

The maximum time it can take the astronaut to reach the position of the spacecraft is 1.5 min = 90 s.

Then:

x = x0 + v · t

0 m = x - 1.8 m/s · 90 s

Solving for x:

1.8 m/s · 90 s = x

x = 162 m

The maximum distance the astronaut can be away from the spacecraft is 162 m.

An oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen nuclei, each of massm= 2.7×10−26kg,separated by a distance 1.2×10−10m, and surrounded
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a)  I = 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ Kg m²

, b)   I = 7,915 10⁻⁵¹ Kg m²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia of point masses is

                 I = m r²

   

The nuclei have a very small size (10-15 m) so we can consider them punctual.

The distance to the center of mass passing through the middle of the two nuclei of equal mass

       r = 0.6 10⁻¹⁰ m

The moment of total inertia

       I = I₁ + I₂ = 2 I₀

       I = 2 2.7 10⁻²⁶ (0.6 10⁻¹⁰)²

       I = 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ Kg m²

The kinetic energy of the rotation is

      w = h / 2π

      K = ½ I w²

      K = ½ 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ (h / 2π)² = ½ 1.944 10⁻⁴⁶ (6.63 10⁻³⁴ / 2π)²

      K = 2.16 10⁻¹¹⁴ J (1eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

      K = 2.16 10⁻⁹⁵ eV

B) the moment of inertia of the electron in the orbit, we can calculate it with the parallel axis theorem

       I =I_{cm} + m R²

       I = m_{e} r² +  m_{e} R²

Where R we calculate it by Pythagoras

      R² = (0.6 10⁻¹⁰)² + (0.5 10⁻¹⁰) 2

      R = √ (0.61 10⁻²⁰)

      R = 0.78 10⁻¹⁰ m

      I = 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.5 10⁻¹⁰)² + 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.78 10⁻¹⁰)²

      I = (2,275 +5.54) 10⁻⁵¹

      I = 7,915 10⁻⁵¹ Kg m²

The rotation energy of the electron

      K = ½ I w²

If the angular velocity is the electrons outside the core, its kinetic energy is much lower by an order 10⁵, but the angular velocity of the electrons is much higher.

A student of mass M = 89 kg takes a ride in a frictionless loop-the-loop at an amusement park. The radius of the loop-the-loop i
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: 17.5 kN

Explanation:

force downward on student: 
mg+142-mv^2/r=0


mg=mv^2/r-142


mv^2/r=mg+142 

at bottom, apparent weight
weight=mg+mv^2/r=mg+mg+142


apparent weight= 89(2g)+142



for force at bottom, reverse v^2/r


force=m(g+v^2/r) = 89 ( 9.8 + v^2 / 19 )

F = mg + mv^2 / r

F = mg + mg + 142 = 2mg + 142 = 2 x 89 x 9.8 + 142 = 17.5 kN
