Answer:

176.44 m

Explanation:

y = (vertical vi)t + (1/2)gt^2

315 = 0 + (1/2)(9.8)t^2

t = 8.02s

x = (horizontal vi)t + (1/2)at^2

x = (22)(8.02) + 0

x = 176.44 m

In the Millikan oil drop experiment the measured charge of any single droplet was always a whole number multiple of -1.60 x 10-1

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n = 6

Explanation:

Total charge in a single droplet, $q=-9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The measured charge of any single droplet, $e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Let n is the number of excess electrons are contained within the drop. According to the quantization of charge :

$q=ne$

$n=\dfrac{q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{-9.6\times 10^{-19}}{-1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

n = 6

So, there are 6 electrons contained within the drop. Hence, this is the required solution.

lasie4. A 4 kg object is displaced to the right by a distance of 12 m underthe influence of the following forces: a 17 Nforce pu

Oksanka [162]

The work done by a constant force in a rectilinear motion is given by:

$W=Fd\cos\theta$

where F is the magnitude of the force, d is the distance and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement vector.

In this case we have two forces then we need to add the work done by each of them; for the first force we have a magnitude of 17 N, a displacement of 12 m and and angle of 0° (since both the displacement and the force point right); for the second force we have a magnitude of 36 N, a displacement of 12 m and an angle of 30°. Plugging these values we have that the total work is:

$\begin{gathered} W=(17)(12)\cos0+(36)(12)\cos30 \\ W=578.123 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the total work done is 578.123 J and the answer is option E

Amy uses 20N of force to push a lawn mower 10 meters. How much work does she do? *

babunello [35]

She does 200J .

We know she uses 20N of force and 10m is the distance. We multiply both numbers and we are given our answer of 200J. Hope this was helpful. :)

A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,

Alika [10]

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. 

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem:

s=1.80m when t=0.245s

This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2)

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation):

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2

v=8.549m/s

Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t)

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like

0=(v)+(a)(t)

Substituting and solving for t:

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t)

t=0.8714s

Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2)

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window:

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m

Answer:

1.925m

Illustrates an Atwood's machine. Let the masses of blocks A and B be 7.00 kg and 3.00 kg , respectively, the moment of inertia o

Harman [31]

Answer:

A) 1.55

B) 1.55

C) 12.92

D) 34.08

E) 57.82

Explanation:

The free body diagram attached, R is the radius of the wheel

Block B is lighter than block A so block A will move upward while A downward with the same acceleration. Since no snipping will occur, the wheel rotates in clockwise direction.

At the centre of the whee, torque due to B is given by

${\tau _2} = - {T_{\rm{B}}}R$

Similarly, torque due to A is given by

${\tau _1} = {T_{\rm{A}}}R$

The sum of torque at the pivot is given by

$\tau = {\tau _1} + {\tau _2}$

Replacing ${\tau _1}$ and ${\tau _2}$ by ${T_{\rm{A}}}R$ and $- {T_{\rm{B}}}R$ respectively yields

$\begin{array}{c}\\\tau = {T_{\rm{A}}}R - {T_{\rm{B}}}R\\\\ = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R\\\end{array}$

Substituting $I\alpha$ for $\tau$ in the equation $\tau = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R$

$I\alpha=\left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R$

$\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$

The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by $\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

where a is the linear acceleration

Substituting $\frac{a}{R}$ for $\alpha$ into equation

$\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$ we obtain

$\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$

Net force on block A is

${F_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {T_{\rm{A}}}$

Net force on block B is

${F_{\rm{B}}} = {T_{\rm{B}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}g$

Where g is acceleration due to gravity

Substituting ${m_{\rm{B}}}a$ and ${m_{\rm{A}}}a$ for ${F_{\rm{B}}}$ and ${F_{\rm{A}}}$ respectively into equation $\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$ and making a the subject we obtain

$\begin{array}{c}\\{m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a - \left( {{m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a} \right) = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g - \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)a = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)a = \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g\\\\a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}\\\end{array}$

Since ${m_{\rm{B}}}$ = 3kg and ${m_{\rm{B}}}$ = 7kg

g=9.81 and R=0.12m, I=0.22 ${\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}$

Substituting these we obtain

$a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\a = \frac{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} - 3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} + 3{\rm{ kg}} + \frac{{0.22{\rm{ kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.120{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)}}\\\\ = 1.55235{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}$

Therefore, the linear acceleration of block A is 1.55 ${\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}$

(B)

For block B

${a_{\rm{B}}} = {a_{\rm{A}}}$

Therefore, the acceleration of both blocks A and B are same

1.55 ${\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}$

(C)

The angular acceleration is $\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\\alpha = \frac{{1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{0.120{\rm{ m}}}}\\\\ = 12.92{\rm{ rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}$

(D)

Tension on left side of cord is calculated using

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = {m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{B}}}\left( {g + a} \right)\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = \left( {3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 34.08{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$

(E)

Tension on right side of cord is calculated using

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{A}}}\left( {g - a} \right)\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = \left( {7{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} – 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 57.82{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$
