Answer:

t = 56.6 s

Explanation:

In the absence of air resistance we can use the kinematic equation

s = ½at²

The package is at vertical rest at the drop point. The horizontal velocity will not matter.

t = √(2s/a)

t = √(2(15721)/9.81)

t = 56.6 s

With air resistance, the time will likely be significantly longer as terminal velocity probably has been achieved.

Without air resistance, the velocity at ground impact would be

v = at = 9.81(56.6) = 555 m/s

which is almost double the speed of sound in air, so air resistance is not negligible.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, an object will accelerate if you apply what kind of force? Question 1 options: Frict

Bumek [7]

An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

<h3>What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>

It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

$F = ma$

An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.

The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.

When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.

Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

A speed-time graph is shown below:

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: $0.5 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Average acceleration $a_{ave}$ is the variation of velocity $\Delta V$ over a specified period of time $\Delta t$ :

$a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}$

Where:

$\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o}$ being $V_{o}=0 cm/s$ the initial velocity and $V_{f}=4 cm/s$ the final velocity (according to the information given from the described graph)

$\Delta t=8 s$

Then:

$a_{ave}=\frac{4 cm/s -0 cm/s}{8 s}}$

$a_{ave}=0.5 m/s^{2}$

Why is it important to study electromagnetic waves?

labwork [276]

The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.

A piano wire with mass 2.60g and length 84.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 25.0 N. A wave with frequency 120.0 Hz and amplit

likoan [24]

Answer:

Power will be 0.2023 watt

And when amplitude is halved then power will be 0.0505 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass of the Piano wire m = 2.60 gram = 0.0026 kg

Length of wire l = 84 cm = 0.84 m

So mass density $\mu =\frac{m}{l}=\frac{0.0026}{0.84}=0.0031kg/m$

Tension in the wire T = 25 N

Frequency f = 120 Hz

So angular frequency $\omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 120=753.6rad/sec$

And amplitude A = 1.6 mm = 0.0016 m

We have to find the generated power

Power is given by $P=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu T}\omega ^2A^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \sqrt{0.0031\times 25}\times 753.6^2\times 0.0016^2=0.2023watt$

From the relation we can see that power $P\ \propto\ A^2$

So if amplitude is halved then power will be $\frac{1}{4}$ times

So power will be equal to $\frac{0.2023}{2}=0.0505watt$

A 100g block lies on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 15 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic frictio

Fed [463]

Answer:

Mass that one should put in the container so that the 100 g block slides down the inclined plane at constant speed = 34.16 g

Explanation:

The vertical forces (with respect to the inclined plane) acting on the 100 g block include the component of the weight of the block in the direction vertical to the inclined plane and the normal reaction of the plane on the block.

And sum of upward forces = sum of downward forces.

N = mg cos θ

m = 100 g = 0.10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

θ = 15°

N = (0.1×9.8×cos 15°) = 0.946582 N

The horizontal forces (With respect to the inclined plane) include the frictional force (acting upwards for the inclined plane, opposite to the intended direction of motion), the Tension in the rope (acting downwards, away from the 100 g block) and the horizontal component (with respect to the inclined plane) of the weight of the block, F, (also acting downards).

For the body to slide down the inclined plane at constant speed, the downward sloping forces must balance the frictional force, that is, there will be no acceleration.

Frictional force = Tension + F

Frictional force = μN

where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.60

N = normal reaction = 0.9466 N

Frictional force = Fr = (0.60 × 0.9466) = 0.56796 N = 0.568 N

The horizontal component (with respect to the inclined plane) of the weight of the block (also acting downards) = mg sin θ

F = (0.10 × 9.8 × sin 15°) = 0.253624 N

Tension in the rope = T = ?

Fr = F + T

T = Fr - F = 0.568 - 0.253624 = 0.314376 N = 0.3144 N

But the balance on the rope now has the total weight on the container (weight of container + weight on the container) to be equal to 2T.

2T = mg

2 × 0.3144 = 9.8m

m = 0.06416 kg = 64.16 g.

Mass of the container = 30 g

So, mass that one should put in the container so that the 100 g block slides down the inclined plane at constant speed = 64.16 - 30 = 34.16 g

Hope this Helps!!!
