Answer:

Approximately 281.25\; \rm m. (Assuming that the drag on this ball is negligible, and that g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.)

Explanation:

Assume that the drag (air friction) on this ball is negligible. Motion of this ball during the descent:

  • Horizontal: no acceleration, velocity is constant (at v(\text{horizontal}) is constant throughout the descent.)
  • Vertical: constant downward acceleration at g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}, starting at 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

The horizontal velocity of this ball is constant during the descent. The horizontal distance that the ball has travelled during the descent is also given: x(\text{horizontal}) = 30\; \rm m. Combine these two quantities to find the duration of this descent:

\begin{aligned}t &= \frac{x(\text{horizontal})}{v(\text{horizontal})} \\ &= \frac{30\; \rm m}{4\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}} = 7.5\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

In other words, the ball in this question start at a vertical velocity of u = 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}, accelerated downwards at g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}, and reached the ground after t = 7.5\; \rm s.

Apply the SUVAT equation \displaystyle x(\text{vertical}) = -\frac{1}{2}\, g \cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t to find the vertical displacement of this ball.

\begin{aligned}& x(\text{vertical}) \\[0.5em] &= -\frac{1}{2}\, g \cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t\\[0.5em] &= - \frac{1}{2} \times 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \times (7.5\; \rm s)^{2} \\ & \quad \quad + 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \times 7.5\; s \\[0.5em] &= -281.25\; \rm m\end{aligned}.

In other words, the ball is 281.25\; \rm m below where it was before the descent (hence the negative sign in front of the number.) The height of this cliff would be 281.25\; \rm m\!.

The gravitational attraction between a 20 kg cannonball and a 0.002 kg
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

2.966\times 10^{-11}\ N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the cannonball (M) = 20 kg

Mass of the marble (m) = 0.002 kg

Distance between the cannonball and marble (d) = 0.30 m

Universal gravitational constant (G) = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

Now, we know that, the gravitational force (F) acting between two bodies of masses (m) and (M) separated by a distance (d) is given as:

F=\dfrac{GMm}{d^2}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'F'. This gives,

F=\frac{(6.674\times 10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\times (20\ kg)\times (0.002\ kg)}{(0.30\ m)^2}\\\\F=\frac{6.674\times 20\times 0.002\times 10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1+2} s^{-2}}{0.09\ m^2}\\\\F=2.966\times 10^{-11}\ kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}\\\\F=2.966\times 10^{-11}\ N.........(1\ N = 1\ kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2})

The same force is experienced by both cannonball and marble.

Therefore, the gravitational  force of the marble is 2.966\times 10^{-11}\ N

Using a coil made of 219 turns of single‑strand copper wire, you use a motor to rotate the coil at a constant angular speed of 9
mylen [45]

Answer:

0.0222T

Explanation:

Frequency (f) =90 rev/s

Voltage = 1.15 v

Radius of coil = 1.00cm

= 0.01m

No of turns of wire (N) = 291

ω = 2πf

ω = 2π(90)

ω = 180π

A(t)= πr².sin ωt

= π(0.01)². Sin180πt

= 0.0001π.sin180πt

Differentiate A(t) with respect to t

dA/dt = 0.0001π . 180π . cos 180πt

EMF = - NB(dA/dt)

B = EMF/N(dA/dt)

B = 1.15/ -291(0.0001π . 180π . cos 180πt)

At the moment of induced voltage, cos180π = 1

B = 1.15/ -291(0.0001π . 180π . 1)

B = 1.15/ -51.7

B = 0.0222 T

The strength of the magnetic field = 0.0222T
