Two motorcycles are traveling due east with different velocities. However, 5.68 seconds later, they have the same velocity. Duri

ng this 5.68-second interval, motorcycle A has an average acceleration of 3.87 m/s2 due east, while motorcycle B has an average acceleration of 18.2 m/s2 due east. (a) By how much did the speeds differ at the beginning of the 5.68-second interval, and (b) which motorcycle was moving faster?

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let a be the initial velocity of motorcycle A and b be the initial velocity of motorcycle B.

After 5.68 seconds, both motorcycle had the same velocity (v), therefore for motorcycle A:

(a - v) / 5.68 = 3.87

a - v = 21.9816

v = a - 21.9816

For motorcycle B:

(b - v) / 5.68 = 18.2

b - v = 103.376

v = b - 103.376

Therefore:

a - 21.9816 = b - 103.376

b - a = -21.9816 + 103.376

b - a = 81.3944

a) The difference between their speeds at the beginning was 81.3944 m/s

b) Since b - a = 81.3944. This means that the initial velocity of motorcycle B is greater than that of motorcycle A by 81.3944 m/s.

Therefore motorcycle B was moving faster

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an
sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The <em><u>work </u></em>is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the <em>two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north"</em>, that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. <u>Tugboat #1</u>.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) =  1.8×10⁶N  × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. <u>Tugboat #2</u>:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle:  = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) =  1.8×10⁶N  × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. <u>Total net force, Fn</u>:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. <u>Work, W</u>:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.

Find the current that flows in a silicon bar of 10-μm length having a 5-μm × 4-μm cross-section and having free-electron and hol
klasskru [66]

The current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 \times 10^-12 A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length of silicon bar, l = 10 μm = 0.001 cm

Free electron density, Ne = 104 cm^3

Hole density, Nh = 1016 cm^3

μn = 1200 cm^2 / V s

μр = 500 cm^2 / V s

The total current flowing in the bar is the sum of the drift current due to the hole and the electrons.

J = Je + Jh

J = n qE μn + p qE μp

where, n and p are electron and hole densities.

J = Eq (n μn + p μp)

we know that E = V / l

So, J = (V / l) q (n μn + p μp)

     J = (1.6 \times 10^-19) / 0.001 (104 \times 1200 + 1016 \times 500)

     J = 1012480 \times 10^-16 A / m^2.

or

J = 1.01 \times 10^-9 A / m^2

Current, I = JA

A is the area of bar, A = 20 μm = 0.002 cm

I = 1.01 \times 10^-9 \times 0.002 = 2.02 \times 10^-12

So, the current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 \times 10^-12 A.

In a fireworks display, a rocket is launched from the ground with a speed of 18.0 m/s and a direction of 51.0° above the horizon
Masja [62]

Answer:38.66 m

Explanation:

Given

launch angle \theta =51^{\circ}

launch velocity u=18 m/s

center of mass continue to travel its original Path so it center of mass will be at a distance of

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

R=\frac{18^2\sin 102}{9.8}

R=32.33 m

Center of mass will be at x=32.33 m

(b)if one of the piece will be at x=26  m then other will be at

x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

x_{com}=\frac{\frac{m}{2}\cdot 26+\frac{m}{2}\cdot x_0}{\frac{m}{2}+\frac{m}{2}}

32.33=\frac{26+x_0}{2}

x_0=38.66 m
