Answer:

when a plastic rod is rubbed with a duster, electrons are transferred from one material to the other. The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. The material that loses electrons becomes positively charged.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

On the sonometer shown below, a horizontal cord of length 5 m has a mass of 1.45 g. When the cord was plucked the wave produced

Korolek [52]

Answer:

(a) T = 0.015 N

(b) M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g

Explanation:

(a) T = 0.015 N

First, we will find the speed of waves:

$v =f\lambda$

where,

v = speed of wave = ?

f = frequency = 120 Hz

λ = wavelength = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Therefore,

v = (120 Hz)(0.06 m)

v = 7.2 m/s

Now, we will find the linear mass density of the coil:

$\mu = \frac{m}{l}$

where,

μ = linear mass density = ?

m = mass = 1.45 g = 1.45 x 10⁻³ kg

l = length = 5 m

Thereforre,

$\mu = \frac{1.45\ x\ 10^{-3}\ kg}{5\ m}\\\\\mu = 2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m$

Now, for the tension we use the formula:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\\\\7.2\ m/s = \sqrt{\frac{T}{2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m}}\\\\(51.84\ m^2/s^2)(2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m) = T$

T = 0.015 N

(b)

The mass to be hung is:

$T = Mg\\\\M = \frac{T}{g}\\\\M = \frac{0.015\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\$

M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The final speed of the crate is 12.07 m/s.

Explanation:

For the first 10.0 meters, the only force acting on the crate is 225 N, so we can calculate the acceleration as follows:

$F = ma$
