A 2:2 kg toy train is con ned to roll along a straight, frictionless track parallel to the x-axis. The train starts at the origi

n moving at a speed of 1:6m=s in the +x direction, and continues until it reaches a position 7:5m down the track from where it started. During its journey, it experiences a force pointing in the same direction as the vector 0:6 +0:8 , with magnitude initially 2:8N and decreasing linearly with its x-position to 0N when the train has finished its journey.
Required:
a. Calculate the work done by this force over the entire journey of the train.
b. Find the speed of the train at the end of its journey.

Answer:

a) 10.51 J

b) 3.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given data :

mass of train ( M ) = 2.2 kg

Given initial velocity ( u ) = 1.6 m/s

<u>a) calculating work done by the force over the journey of the train</u>

F = mx + b  ------ ( 1 )

m = slope  = ( Δ f / Δ x ) = 2.8 / -7.5 = - 0.373 N/m

x = distance travelled on the x axis by the train = 7.5 m

F = force experienced by the train = 2.8 N

x = 0

∴ b = 2.8

hence equation 1 can be written as

F = ( -0.373) x + 2.8   ----- ( 2 )

hence to determine the work done by the force

W   = \int\limits^7_0 { ( -0.373) x + 2.8  )} \, dx     Note:  the limits are actually 7.5 and 0

∴ W ( work done ) = -10.49 + 21 = 10.51 J

<u>b) calculate the speed of the train at the end of its journey</u>

we will apply the work energy theorem

W = 1/2 m*v^2  -  1/2 m*u^2

∴ V^2 = 2 / M ( W + 1/2 M*u^2 )  ( input values into equation )

 V^2 = 12.11

hence V = 3.48 m/s

The angular speed of the rotor in a centrifuge increases from 420 to 1420 rad/s in a time of 5.00 s. (a) Obtain the angle throug
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) θ = 2500 radians

b) α = 200 rad/s²

Explanation:

Using equations of motion,

θ = (w - w₀)t/2

θ = angle turned through = ?

w = final angular velocity = 1420 rad/s

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 420

t = time taken = 5s

θ = (1420 - 420) × 5/2 = 2500 rads

Again,

w = w₀ + αt

α = angular accelaration = ?

1420 = 420 + 5α

α = 1000/5 = 200 rad/s²

Which type of waves from the electromagnetic spectrum are used in heat lamps and heat sensing devices?
Alex73 [517]
Infrared waves are used in heat lamps and other heat sensing devices. Infrared waves or commonly known as Infrared radiations (IR) is the type of electromagnetic radiation we encounter most in our everyday life. Heat lamps are electrical devices which emit infrared radiation.

As the captain of the scientific team sent to Planet Physics, one of your tasks is to measure g. You have a long, thin wire labe
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1.19 m/s²

Explanation:

The frequency of the wave generated in the string in the first experiment is f = n/2l√T/μ were T = tension in string = mg were m = 1.30 kg weight = 1300 g , μ = mass per unit length of string = 1.01 g/m. l = length of string to pulley = l₀/2 were l₀ = lent of string. Since f is the second harmonic, n = 2, so

f = 2/2(l₀/2)√mg/μ = 2(√mg/μ)/l₀    (1)

Also, for the second experiment, the period of the wave in the string is T = 2π√l₀/g. From (1) l₀ = 2(√mg/μ)/f and from (2) l₀ = T²g/4π²

Equating (1) and (2) we ave

2(√mg/μ)/f = T²g/4π²

Making g subject of the formula

g = 2π√(2√(m/μ)/f)/T

The period T = 316 s/100 = 3.16 s

Substituting the other values into , we have

g = 2π√(2√(1300 g/1.01 g/m)/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(2 × 35.877/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(71.753/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(0.358)/3.16

g = 2π × 0.599/3.16

g = 1.19 m/s²
