Answer:

As the earth is an oblate spheroid, its radius near the equator is more than its radius near poles. Since for a source mass, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth, it varies with latitude due to the shape of the earth.

Formula: g = GM/r2

Dimensional Formula: M0L1T-2

Values of g in SI: 9.806 ms-2

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s$

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

Ted Clubber Lang. A hook in boxing primarily involves horizontal flexion of the shoulder while maintaining a constant angle at t

il63 [147K]

Answer:

15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of the shoulder, v(h) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Distance moved during the hook, d(h) = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Distance moved by the fist, d(f) = 100 cm = 1 m

Average speed of the fist during the hook, v(f) = ? cm/s = m/s

This can be solved by a very simple relation.

d(f) / d(h) = v(f) / v(h)

v(f) = [d(f) * v(h)] / d(h)

v(f) = (1 * 0.75) / 0.05

v(f) = 0.75 / 0.05

v(f) = 15 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the fist during the hook is 15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

For a photoelectric tube, calculate the voltage which will be just sufficient to stop electrons emitted by the sodium photo-plat

Talja [164]

Answer:

1.11 V

Explanation:

Given that the Einstein photoelectric equation states that;

KE = E - Wo

E = energy of incident photon

Wo= work function of the metal

E = hf = 6.64 x 10-34 * 6 x 1014

E = 39.84 * 10^-20 J or 3.98 * 10^-19 J

KE = 3.98 * 10^-19 J - 2.2 x 10-19J

KE = 1.78 * 10^-19J

We convert this value of KE to electron volts

KE = 1.78 * 10^-19J/1.6 x 10-19C

KE = 1.11 eV

Hence; 1.11 V will be just sufficient to stop electrons emitted by the sodium photo-plate reaching the collector plate.

Suppose the ball is thrown from the same height as in the PRACTICE IT problem at an angle of 32.0°below the horizontal. If it st

scoray [572]

The figure of the problem is missing: find in attachment.

(a) 1.64 s

The ball follows a projectile motion path. The horizontal displacement is given by

$x(t) = v_0 cos \theta t$

where

$v_0$ is the initial speed

t is the time

$\theta=32.0^{\circ}$ is the angle below the horizontal

We can rewrite this equation as

$t=\frac{x(t)}{v_0 cos \theta}$ (1)

The vertical displacement instead is given by

$y(t) = -v_0 sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

where

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting (1) into (2),

$y(t) = -x(t) tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

We know that for t = time of flight, the horizontal displacement is

$x(t) =50.8 m$

We also know that the vertical displacement is

$y(t) = -45 m$

Substituting everything into the equation, we can find the time of flight:

$\frac{1}{2}gt^2=-y -x tan \theta\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(-y-xtan \theta)}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(-(-45)-50.8 tan 32.0^{\circ})}{9.8}}=1.64 s$

(b) 36.5 m/s

We can now find the initial speed directly by using the equation for the horizontal displacement:

$x(t) = v_0 cos \theta t$

where we have

x = 50.8 m

$\theta=32.0^{\circ}$

Substituting the time of flight,

t = 1.64 s

We find:

$v_0 = \frac{x}{t cos \theta}=\frac{50.8}{(1.64)(cos 32.0^{\circ})}=36.5 m/s$

(c) 47.1 m/s at 48.8 degrees below the horizontal

As the ball follows a projectile motion, its horizontal velocity does not change, so its value remains equal to

$v_x = v_0 cos \theta = (36.5)(cos 32.0^{\circ})=31.0 m/s$

The initial vertical velocity is instead

$u_y = -v_0 sin \theta = -(36.5)(sin 32.0^{\circ})=-19.3 m/s$

And it changes according to the equation

$v_y = u_y -gt$

So at t = 1.64 s (when the ball hits the ground),

$v_y = -19.3 - (9.8)(1.64)=-35.4 m/s$

So the impact speed is:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(31.0)^2+(-35.4)^2}=47.1 m/s$

While the direction is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-35.4}{31.0})=-48.8^{\circ}$

A force of 10 newtons acts in a direction 75° above horizontal, moving an object 15 meters from (0, 0) to (15, 0). what is the w

hammer [34]

Work done by the force is 150 Joules.

Steps involved in the question:

Step one:

Given data

Force F= 10N

the distance is described by the coordinate = (0,0) to (15,0)

hence the distance = 15m in the x-direction.

Step two:

Required is the work done

we know that work done is expressed as

Wd= Force* Distance

Wd= 10*15

Wd= 150 Joules
