A child of mass 27 kg swings at the end of an elastic cord. At the bottom of the swing, the child's velocity is horizontal, and

the speed is 10 m/s. At this instant the cord is 3.40 m long. (Take the x direction to be horizontal and to the right, the y direction to be upward, and the z direction to be out of the page.)
At this instant, what is the magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum?

Answer:

The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of child = 27 kg

Speed of child in horizontal = 10 m/s

Length = 3.40 m

There is a rate of change of the perpendicular component of momentum.

Centripetal force acts always towards the center.

We need to calculate the magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum

Using formula of momentum

$\dfrac{dp}{dt}=F$

$\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{27\times10^2}{3.40}$

$\dfrac{dP}{dt}=794.11\ N$

Hence, The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

A body with mass 2 kg absorbs heat 418.4J when its temperature raises from 293K to 343K . What is the specific heat of the body?

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

C M (change in T) = heat absorbed thermal equation for heat gained

C = 418.4 J / (2 kg * 50 deg K) = 4.184 J / kg * deg K specific heat

Note: 1 gm =.001 kg

So C = .004184J / gm * deg K

Also, 1 J = .239 cal so in conventional terms

C = .001 cal / gm deg K (very low, water would be 1 cal / gm deg C

A horizontal force of 14.0N is applied to a box of m=32.5kg with Vo=0. Ignoring friction, how far does the crate travel in 10.0s

Alex Ar [27]

I’m going to assume initial velocity is 0.

Use Newton’s second law:

F = m•a

F/m = a

14.0/32.5kg= 28/65 m/s^2

Use constant SUVAT acceleration formulae:

S- displacement - what we need to find out

U - initial velocity - 0

V

A - 28/65 m/s^2

T - 10 seconds

S = ut + 1/2at^2

Since u = 0

S = 1/2at^2

1/2• 28/65 • 10^2 = 21.5metres~

Answer is 21.5 metres

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency? Hz(b) What is its wavelength in glas

vekshin1

<h2>Answers:</h2>

The speed of a wave is given by:

$v=f.\lambda$ (1)

Where $f$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength.

In the case of light, its speed is:

$c=f.\lambda$ (2)

On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.

In this context, the Refractive index $n$ is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum ( $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ ) and the speed of light $v$ in the second medium:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$ (3)

In addition, as the light changes its direction, its wavelength changes as well:

$n=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{\lambda_{glass}}$ (4)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Frequency</h2>

From equation (2) we can find $f$ :

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (5)

Knowing that $1nm=(10)^{-9}m$ :

$f=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{632.8(10)^{-9}m}$

$f=4.74(10)^{14}Hz}$ (6) >>>Frequency of the helium-neon laser light

<h2>b) Wavelength in glass</h2>

We already know the wavelength of the light in air $\lambda_{air}$ and the index of refraction of the glass.

So, we only have to find the wavelength in glass $\lambda_{glass}$ from equation (4):

$\lambda_{glass}=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{n}$

$\lambda_{glass}=\frac{632.8(10)^{-9}m}{1.48}$

$\lambda_{glass}=427(10)^{-9}m=427nm$ (7) >>>Wavelength of the helium-neon laser light in glass

<h2>c) Speed in glass</h2>

From equation (3) we can find the speed $v$ of this light in glass:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

$v=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.48}$

$v=2.027(10)^{8}m/s$ (8) >>>Speed of the helium-neon laser light in glass
