An object is released from rest near and above Earth’s surface from a distance of 10m. After applying the appropriate kinematic

equation, a student predicts that it will take 1.43s for the object to reach the ground with a speed of 14.3m/s . After performing the experiment, it is found that the object reaches the ground after a time of 3.2s. How should the student determine the actual speed of the object when it reaches the ground? Assume that the acceleration of the object is constant as it falls.

Answer:

v_y = 12.54 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial vertical distance y_o = 10 m

- Initial velocity v_y,o = 0 m/s

- The acceleration of object in air = a_y

- The actual time taken to reach ground t = 3.2 s

Find:

- Determine the actual speed of the object when it reaches the ground?

Solution:

- Use kinematic equation of motion to compute true value for acceleration of the ball as it reaches the ground:

y = y_o + v_y,o*t + 0.5*a_y*t^2

0 = 10 + 0 + 0.5*a_y*(3.2)^2

a_y = - 20 / (3.2)^2 = 1.953125 m/s^2

- Use the principle of conservation of total energy of system:

E_p - W_f = E_k

Where, E_p = m*g*y_o

W_f = m*a_y*(y_i - y_f) ..... Effects of air resistance

E_k = 0.5*m*v_y^2

Hence, m*g*y_o - m*a_y*(y_i - y_f) = 0.5*m*v_y^2

g*(10) - (1.953125)*(10) = 0.5*v_y^2

v_y = sqrt (157.1375)

v_y = 12.54 m/s

A single-turn current loop carrying a 4.00 A current, is in the shape of a right-angle triangle with sides of 50.0 cm, 120 cm, a

pantera1 [17]

Given that,

Current = 4 A

Sides of triangle = 50.0 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm

Magnetic field = 75.0 mT

Distance = 130 cm

We need to calculate the angle α

Using cosine law

$120^2=130^2+50^2-2\times130\times50\cos\alpha$

$\cos\alpha=\dfrac{120^2-130^2-50^2}{2\times130\times50}$

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(0.3846)$

$\alpha=67.38^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle β

Using cosine law

$50^2=130^2+120^2-2\times130\times120\cos\beta$

$\cos\beta=\dfrac{50^2-130^2-120^2}{2\times130\times120}$

$\beta=\cos^{-1}(0.923)$

$\beta=22.63^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the force on 130 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{130}=ILB\sin\theta$

$F_{130}=4\times130\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin0$

$F_{130}=0$

We need to calculate the force on 120 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{120}=ILB\sin\beta$

$F_{120}=4\times120\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin22.63$

$F_{120}=0.1385\ N$

The direction of force is out of page.

We need to calculate the force on 50 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{50}=ILB\sin\alpha$

$F_{50}=4\times50\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin67.38$

$F_{50}=0.1385\ N$

The direction of force is into page.

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic force on each of the three sides of the loop are 0 N, 0.1385 N and 0.1385 N.

What s physics?

Alex777 [14]

The answer is (B. The study of Matter and Energy) but technically you could consider physics all of these as engineering is based on physics and that would be the study of inventions, chemistry and biology were both discovered because of physics, and physics invokes more math than any other subject as it applies math to the entire Universe.

The acceleration due to gravity is g at the earth's surface. an earth satellite is orbiting at a distance from the earth's surfa

disa [49]

The acceleration due to gravity is g/4

The acceleration above the earth surface is given by the relation

g^'=gr^2/〖(h+r)〗^2

Since the satellite orbits the earth in a orbit of radius equal to earth radius, therefore

g^'=(gr^2)/〖(r+r)〗^2 =g/4

Thus the acceleration due to gravity on the satellite is g/4.
