The Millennium Falcon was constructed 43.6 m long. a) How fast is it traveling past Luke when he measures its length to be 30.1

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

a)0.5564c

b)43.6 m

Explanation:

Given proper length of falcrum L₀= 43.6 m

improper length L=30.1 m (when viewed from moving frame)

we know that $L=L_{0}\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$30.1=43.6\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}$

⇒ $\{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$ = $\frac{30.1}{43.6}$

${1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}=0.6904$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}=0.3096$

$v^{2}=3096c^{2}$

v=0.5564c

this is the required speed of falcon when it passes luke

b). Since Han solo is on the Falcon its reference frame will be falcon itself hence there wont be any change in the length of Falcon that its length will be

43.6 m

A 1-oz bullet is traveling with a velocity of 1400 ft/s when it impacts and becomes embedded in a 5-lb wooden block. The block c

schepotkina [342]

After impact velocity = 14.968 ft/s

Weight and mass of Bullet and wooden block:

Bullet: w = 1oz = 1/16 lb m = 0.001941 lb

wooden block : W = 5lb M = 0.15528 lb

velocity of block and bullet immediately after impact:

Σmv1 + ΣImp = mv2

Resolving vertical component

( m× v₀cos30⁰) + 0 = ( m+M) v'

v' = ( m× v₀cos30⁰)/ (m+M)

v' = 14.968 ft/s

Horizontal and vertical component of the impulse exerted by block on the bullet:

Here we will apply the principle of impulse and momentum.

Horizontal component:

-mv₀ cos30⁰ + RxΔt =0

RxΔt = mv₀sin30⁰

= 0.001941 × 1400sin30⁰

RxΔt = 1.3587 lb.s

Vertical component:

-mv₀cos30⁰ + RyΔt = -mv'

RyΔt = m( v₀cos30⁰-v')

RyΔt = 0.001941(1400cos30⁰ - 14.968)

= 2.32 lb.s

Find the magnitude of the sum

shusha [124]

Answer:

$\displaystyle |\vec{v_1}+\vec{v_2}|=4.15m$

Explanation:

<u>Sum of Vectors in the Plane</u>

Given two vectors

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}\ ,\ \vec{v_2}$

They can be expressed in their rectangular components as

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}=$

$\displaystyle \vec{v_2}=$

The sum of both vectors can be done by adding individually its components

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}+\vec{v_2}=$

If the vectors are given as a magnitude and an angle $(M\ ,\ \theta )$ , each component can be found as

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}=$

$\displaystyle \vec{v_2}=$

The first vector has a magnitude of 3.14 m and an angle of 30°, so

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}=$

The second vector has a magnitude of 2.71 m and an angle of -60°, so

$\displaystyle \vec{v_2}=$

The sum of the vectors is

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}+\vec{v_2}=$

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}-\vec{v_2}=$

Finally, we compute the magnitude of the sum

$\displaystyle |\vec{v_1}+\vec{v_2}|=\sqrt{(4.08)^2+(-0.78)^2}$

$\displaystyle |\vec{v_1}+\vec{v_2}|=\sqrt{17.25}$

$\displaystyle |\vec{v_1}+\vec{v_2}|=4.15m$

The range of human hearing is roughly from twenty hertz to twenty kilohertz. Based on these limits and a value of 343 m/s for th

omeli [17]

Explanation:

It is given that, the range of human hearing is roughly from twenty hertz to twenty kilohertz.

Minimum frequency, f = 20 Hz

Maximum frequency, f' = 20,000 Hz

We need to find the lengths of the longest and shortest pipes. For open pipes, the length of pipe is given by :

$l=\dfrac{v}{2f}$

For shortest pipe, frequency should be maximum, $l=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 20000\ Hz}$

l = 0.008575 m

For longest pipe, frequency should be minimum, $l'=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 20\ Hz}$

l' = 8.575 m

So, the lengths of longest and shortest pipes are 8.575 meters and 0.008575 meters respectively.
