Answer: 1

Explanation:

Given

Tension is the string T=44\ N

mass of object m=4\ kg

Tension is greater than the weight of the object i.e. elevator is moving upward

we can write

\Rightarrow T-mg=ma\\\Rightarrow T=m(g+a)\\\Rightarrow 44=4(10+a)\\\Rightarrow 11=10+a\\\Rightarrow a=1\ m/s^2

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

A 12.0-g plastic ball is dropped from a height of 2.50 m. Just as it strikes the floor, it is moving at a speed of 3.20 m/s. How
nalin [4]

Answer:

0·233 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the ball = 0·012 kg

Initially the ball is at a height of 2·5 m

As initially the ball is dropped, it's initial velocity will be equal to 0

Therefore initially it has zero kinetic energy and has only potential energy

∴ Initially total mechanical energy of the ball = potential energy of the ball

Initial potential energy of the ball = m × g × h

where

m is the mass of the ball

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the ball

∴ Potential energy = 0·012 × 9·8 × 2·5 = 0·294 J

Velocity of the ball after striking the floor = 3·2 m/s

After striking the floor, the total mechanical energy = kinetic energy just after striking the floor

Kinetic energy = 0·5 × m × v²

where m is the mass of the ball

v is the velocity of the ball

∴ Kinetic energy of the ball = 0·5 × 0·012 × 3·2² = 0·061 J

Mechanical energy that is lost = 0·294 - 0·061 = 0·233 J

∴ Mechanical energy that the ball lost during its fall = 0·233 J

A large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted the voltage to 385 kV. The secondary of
enot [183]

Answer:

a) In the new transformer there are 42 turns in the secondary per turn in the primary, while in the old transformer there were 32 turns per turn in the primary.

b) The new output is 86% of the old output

c) The losses in the new line are 74% the losses in the old line.

Explanation:

a) To relate the turns of primary and secondary to the ratio of voltage we have this expression:

\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}

In the old transformer the ratio of voltages was:

\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{12}{385} =0.03117\\\\n_2=n_1/0.03117=32.1n_1

In the new transformer the ratio of voltages is:

\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{12}{500} =0.024\\\\n_2=n_1/0.24=41.7n_1

In the new transformer there are 42 turns in the secondary per turn in the primary, while in the old transformer there were 32 turns per turn in the primary.

b) The new current ratio is

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{12}{500}= 0.024\\\\I_2=0.024I_1

If the old current output was 425 kV, the ratio of current was:

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{12}{425}= 0.028\\\\I_2=0.028I_1

Then, the ratio of the new output over the old output is:

\frac{I_{2new}}{I_{2old}} =\frac{0.024\cdot I_1}{0.028\cdot I_1}= 0.86

The new output is 86% of the old output (smaller output currents lower the losses on the transmission line).

c) The power loss is expressed as:

P_L=I^2\cdot R

Then, the ratio of losses is (R is constant for both power losses):

\frac{P_n}{P_o} =\frac{I_n^2R}{I_o^2R} =(\frac{I_n}{I_o} )^2=0.86^2=0.74

The losses in the new line are 74% the losses in the old line.

A 1000 kg weather rocket is launched straight up. The rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 16 s, then the motor sto
Fed [463]

Answer:

a)   a = 34.375 m / s²,  b)    v_f = 550 m / s

Explanation:

This problem is the launch of projectiles, they tell us to ignore the effect of the friction force.

a) Let's start with the final part of the movement, which is carried out from t= 16 s with constant speed

             v_f = \frac{x-x_1}{t}

we substitute the values

             v_f = \frac{ 6600 -x_1}{4}  

The initial part of the movement is carried out with acceleration

             v_f = v₀ + a t

             x₁ = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

the rocket starts from rest v₀ = 0 with an initial height x₀ = 0

             x₁ = ½ a t²

             v_f = a t

we substitute the values

              x₁ = 1/2  a 16²

              x₁ = 128 a

              v_f = 16 a

let's write our system of equations  

               v_f = \frac{6600 - x_1}{4}

               x₁ = 128 a

               v_f = 16 a

we substitute in the first equation  

               16 a = \frac{6600 -128 a}{4}

               16 4 a = 6600 - 128 a

                a (64 + 128) = 6600

                a = 6600/192

                 a = 34.375 m / s²

b) let's find the time to reach this height

                x = ½ to t²

                t² = 2y / a

                t² = 2 5100 / 34.375

                t² = 296.72

                t = 17.2 s

We can see that for this time the acceleration is zero, so the rocket is in the constant velocity part

               v_f = 16 a

               v_f = 16 34.375

               v_f = 550 m / s
