The friction force between a bag and the floor is 4 N. what is the net force acting on the bag? What is the acceleration of the

tester [92]

Well, if the bag is moving across the floor at a constant velocity. Then I would assume that the Fnet force is equal to 0, and thus the value of acceleration would also be equal to 0.

A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the s

leonid [27]

Complete question is;

A force stretches a wire by 0.60 mm. A second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length.

a) How far will it be stretched by the same force?

b) A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the same force?

Answer:

0.15 mm

Explanation:

According to Hooke's Law,

E = Stress(σ)/Strain(ε)

Where E is youngs modulus

Formula for stress is;

Stress(σ) = Force(F)/Area(A)

Formula for strain is;

Strain(ε) = Change in length/original length = (Lf - Li)/Li

We are also told that a second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length.

Thus;

Rearranging Hooke's Law to get the constants on one side, we have;

F/(AE) = ε

Thus from the conditions given;

ε1 = 0.6/Li

ε2 = (Change in length)/(2*Li)

And ε1 = ε2

Thus;

0.6/Li = Change in length/(2*Li)

Li will cancel out and we now have;

Change in length = 2 × 0.6 = 1.2 mm

Finally, we are told A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first.

Area of a circle;A1 = πd²/4

Now, we are told d is doubled.

Thus, new area of the new circle is;

A2 = π(2d)²/4 = πd²

Rearranging Hooke's Law,we have;

F/A = εE

Since F and E are now constants, we have;

F/E = constant = Aε

Thus;

A1(ε1) = A2(ε2)

A1 = πd²/4

e1 = 0.60/Li

A2 = πd²

e2 = Change in length/Li

Thus;

((πd²/4) × 0.6)/Li = (πd² × Change in length)/ Li

Rearranging, Li and πd² will cancel out to give;

0.6/4 = Change in length

Change in length = 0.15 mm

A beam of light has a wavelength of 650 nm in vacuum. (a) What is the speed of this light in a liquid whose index of refraction

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are $2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$ and 442 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 650 nm

Index refraction = 1.47

(a). We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

$n = \dfrac{c}{v}$

Where, n = refraction index

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

$1.47=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{v}$

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.47}$

$v= 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$n=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{n}$

Where, $\lambda_{0}$ = wavelength in vacuum

$\lambda$ = wavelength in medium

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}}{1.47}$

$\lambda=442\times10^{-9}\ m$

Hence, The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are $2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$ and 442 nm.

A parachutist of mass 100 kg falls from a height of 500 m. Under realistic conditions, she experiences air resistance. Based on

antoniya [11.8K]

Given:
mass: 100 kg
height: 500 m
1 kJ = 1000 J
gravity = 9.8 m/s²

velocity before impact: v = √2gh ; v = √2 * 9.8 m/s² * 500 m ; v = 98.99494 m/s

KE = 1/2 m v²
KE = 1/2 * 100 kg * (98.99494 m/s)²
KE = 490,000 J

Pls. see attachment.
