You have landed on an unknown planet, Newtonia, and want to know what objects weigh there. When you push a certain tool, startin

g from rest, on a frictionless horizontal surface with a 12.0-N force, the tool moves 16.0 m in the first 2.00 s. You next observe that if you release this tool from rest at 10.0 m above the ground, it takes 2.58 s to reach the ground. What does the tool weigh on Newtonia, and what does it weigh on Earth?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Force applied $F=12\ N$

time taken $t_1=2\ s$

Displacement $s=16\ m$

using

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

u=initial velocity

s=displacement

t=time

$16=0+\frac{1}{2}a(2)^2$

$a=8\ m/s^2$

thus mass of body $m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{12}{8}=1.5\ kg$

Next it is released from a height of $h=10\ m$

time taken to reach ground $t_2=2.58\ s$

using $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ in vertical direction

here acceleration is due to acceleration due to gravity(g') of the planet

as it at rest so u=0 here

$10=0+\frac{1}{2}(g')(2.58)^2$

$g'=3.004\ m/s^2$

Thus acceleration due to gravity on Newtonian is $3\ m/s^2$

Weight of tool on Newtonia $W'=mg'$

$W'=1.5\times 3.004=4.506\ N$

Weight on Earth $W=1.5\times 9.8=14.7\ N$

Match the given circuit parts to their appropriate functions. write only the letter of the correct answer on your paper

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

a. Load.

b. Fuse.

c. Source.

d. Wire.

e. Switch.

Explanation:

An electric circuit can be defined as an interconnection of electrical components which creates a path for the flow of electric charge (electrons) due to a driving voltage.

Generally, an electric circuit consists of electrical components such as resistors, capacitors, battery, transistors, switches, inductors, fuse, etc.

Matching the given circuit parts to their appropriate functions, we have;

a. Load: an appliance or device that uses electricity source like bulbs, computers, television, radio, etc.

b. Fuse: it is a safety device made from materials that easily melt even before the wires carry too much current.

c. Source: it is where electricity came from like batteries and generators.

d. Wire: it is the pathway of electricity from the resources (source) to the load.

e. Switch: it controls the flow of electricity from the source. It is typically used to turn ON or turn OFF a load.

An isotropic point source emits light at wavelength 510 nm, at the rate of 170 W. A light detector is positioned 410 m from the

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

$\frac{dB}{dt} = 3.03 \times 10^6 T/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the power emitted by the source is given as

$P = 170 W$

now we know that

$P = \frac{N}{t} (\frac{hc}{\lambda})$

now we know that energy density is given as

$u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0} + \frac{\epsilon_0 E^2}{2}$

now we have

$E = B c$

$u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$

intensity is defined as

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

now we have

$\frac{I}{c} = u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$ [/tex]

now we have

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \omega B$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi c B}{\lambda}$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi c \sqrt{2\mu_0 I}}{\lambda\sqrt c}$

here we have

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

$I = \frac{170}{4\pi (410)^2}$

$I = 8.05 \times 10^{-5}$

now we have

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi\sqrt{2\mu_0 c (8.05 \times 10^{-5})}}{(510 nm)}$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = 3.03 \times 10^6 T/s$

What happens to a light if the switch is turned off in the circuit?

lukranit [14]

In a parallel circuit nothing happens. All the other lights stay on but if it was a series circuit ALL the lights would turn off at one time.

If there is an ABCD question I can answer that but I wasn't sure so I just said this

Hope it is helpful :)

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 15.5 m/s from the edge of a cliff 75.0 m high .

rjkz [21]

a) 2.64 s

We can solve this part of the problem by using the following SUVAT equation:

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

where

s is the displacement of the stone

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

We must be careful to the signs of s, u and a. Taking upward as positive direction, we have:

- s (displacement) negative, since it is downward: so s = -75.0 m

- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s

- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a= g = -9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

Substituting into the equation,

$-75.0 = 15.5 t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-15.5t-75.0 = 0$

Solving the equation, we have two solutions: t = -5.80 s and t = 2.84 s. Since the negative solution has no physical meaning, the stone reaches the bottom of the cliff 2.64 s later.

b) 10.4 m/s

The speed of the stone when it reaches the bottom of the cliff can be calculated by using the equation:

$v=u+at$

where again, we must be careful to the signs of the various quantities:

- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s

- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

Substituting t = 2.64 s, we find the final velocity of the stone:

$v = 15.5 +(-9.8)(2.64)=-10.4 m/s$

where the negative sign means that the velocity is downward: so the speed is 10.4 m/s.

c) 4.11 s

In this case, we can use again the equation:

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

where

s is the displacement of the package

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

We have:

s = -105 m (vertical displacement of the package, downward so negative)

u = +5.40 m/s (initial velocity of the package, which is the same as the helicopter, upward so positive)

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

Substituting into the equation,

$-105 = 5.40 t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2 -5.40 t-105=0$

Which gives two solutions: t = -5.21 s and t = 4.11 s. Again, we discard the first solution since it is negative, so the package reaches the ground after

t = 4.11 seconds.

Explain why the focal point of a diverging lens is called a virtual focal point.

4vir4ik [10]

The concave lens is a diverging lens, because it causes the light rays to bend away (diverge) from its axis. In this case, the lens has been shaped so that all light rays entering it parallel to its axis appear to originate from the same point, F, defined to be the focal point of a diverging lens.
