Answer:

the wave trough.

Explanation:

As is shown on the figure, wave height is defined as the height of the wave from the wave top, called the wave crest to the bottom of the wave, called the wave trough. The wave length is defined as the horizontal distance between two successive crests or troughs.

The "lead" in pencils is a graphite composition with a Young's modulus of about 1 ✕ 10⁹ N/m². Calculate the change in length (in

sweet [91]

Answer:

0.701 mm.

Explanation:

From Hook's law,

Young modulus = Stress/Strain.

Stress = Force/area = F/A

Strain = ΔL/L.

Therefore,

γ = (F/A)/(ΔL/L)

γ = FL/ΔLA ...................... Equation 1

Where γ = Young's modulus, F = Force, L = Length of the pencil, ΔL = change in length of the pencil, A = cross sectional area.

Make ΔL the subject of the equation,

ΔL = FL/γA......................... Equation 2

But,

A = πd²/4......................... Equation 3

Where d = diameter

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

ΔL = 4FL/γπd²................ Equation 4

Given: F = 4.9 N, L = 55 mm = 0.055 m, d = 0.7 mm = 0.0007 m, γ = 1×10⁹ N/m², π = 3.14.

Substitute into equation 4

ΔL = (4×4.9×0.055)/(1×10⁹×3.14×0.0007²)

ΔL = 1.078/1538.6

ΔL = 7.01×10⁻⁴ m.

ΔL = 0.701 mm.

A motorcycle is capable of accelerating at 5.1 m/s starting feom rest how far can it travel im 1.5 seconds

saul85 [17]

5.1 m/ s

~Multiply 1.5 on both sides since you’re trying to finding out how far it can travel in 1.5 seconds

5.1 x 1.5= 7.65

s x 1.5= 1.5

So a motorcycle can travel 7.65 m in 1.5 seconds.

Allen Aby sets up an Atwood Machine and wants to find the acceleration and the tension in the string. Please help him. Two block

Vitek1552 [10]

<u>Answers:</u>

In order to solve this problem we will use Newton’s second Law, which is mathematically expressed after some simplifications as:

This can be read as: The Net Force $F$ of an object is equal to its mass $m$ multiplied by its acceleration $a$ .

We will also need to <u>draw the Free Body Diagram of each block</u> in order to know the direction of the acceleration in this system and find the Tension $T$ of the string (<u>See figure attached). </u>

We already know<u> $m_{2}$ is greater than $m_{1}$ </u>, this means the weight of the block 2 $P_{2}$ is greater than the weight of the block 1 $P_{1}$ ; therefore <u>the acceleration of the system will be in the direction of $P_{2}$ </u>, as shown in the figure attached.

We also know by the information given in the problem that <u>the pulley does not have friction and has negligible mass</u>, and <u>the string is massless</u>.

This means that the tension will be the same along the string regardless of the difference of mass of the blocks.

Now that we have the conditions clear, let’s begin with the calculations:

1) Firstly, we have to find the weight of each block, in order to verify that block 2 is heavier than block 1.

This is done using equation (1), where the force of the weight $P$ is calculated using the <u>acceleration of gravity</u> $g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ acting on the blocks:

<u>For block 1: </u>

$P_{1}=m_{1}g$ (3)

$P_{1}=1.5kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})$

<u>For block 2: </u>

$P_{2}=m_{2}g$ (5)

$P_{2}=2.4kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})$

Then, we are going to <u>find the acceleration $a$ of the whole system: </u>

$F_{r}=P_{1}+P_{2}$ (7)

Where the Resulting Force $F_{r}$ is equal to the sum of the weights $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ .

In the figure attached, note that $P_{1}$ is in opposite direction to the acceleration $a$ , this means it must <u>have a negative sing</u>; while $P_{2}$ is in the same direction of $a$ .

Here we only have to isolate $a$ from equation (8) and substitute the values according to the conditions of the system:

$-14.7N+23.52N=(1.5kg+2.4kg)a$

$8.82N=(3.9kg)a$

Then:

$a=\frac{8.82N }{3.9kg}$

<h2> $a=2.26\frac{m}{ s^{2}}$ </h2><h2>This is the acceleration of the system. </h2>

2) For the second part of the problem, we have to find the tension $T$ of the string.

We can choose either the Free Body Diagram of block A or block B to make the calculations, <u>the result will be the same</u>.

Let’s prove it:

For $m_{1}$

we see in the free body diagram that the <u>acceleration is in the same direction of the tension of the string</u>, so:

$F_{r}=T-P_{1}$ (9)

$T-P_{1}=m_{1}a$ (10)

$T-14.7N=(1.5kg)( 2.26\frac{m}{ s^{2}})$

Then;

<h2> $T=18.09N$ This is the tension of the string </h2><h2> </h2>

For $m_{2}$

we see in the free body diagram that the acceleration is in opposite direction of the tension of the string and must <u>have a negative sign,</u> so:

$F_{r}=T-P_{2}$ (9)

$T-P_{2}=m_{2}a$ (10)

$T-23.52N=(2.4kg)(-2.26\frac{m}{ s^{2}})$

Then;

<h2> $T=18.09N$ This is the same tension of the string </h2>

Which of the following expressions will have units of kg⋅m/s2? Select all that apply, where x is position, v is velocity, m is m

netineya [11]

Answer: $m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Explanation:

In the image attached with this answer are shown the given options from which only one is correct.

The correct expression is:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Because, if we derive velocity $v_{t}$ with respect to time $t$ we will have acceleration $a$ , hence:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=m.a$

Where $m$ is the mass with units of kilograms ( $kg$ ) and $a$ with units of meter per square seconds $\frac{m}{s}^{2}$ , having as a result $kg\frac{m}{s}^{2}$

The other expressions are incorrect, let’s prove it:

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dx}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=\frac{m}{2} 2v_{(x)}^{2-1}=mv_{(x)}$ This result has units of $kg\frac{m}{s}$

$m\frac{d}{dt}a_{(t)}=ma_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\int x_{(t)} dt= m \frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{1+1}}{1+1}+C=m\frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kgm^{2}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\frac{d}{dt}x_{(t)}=mx_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=mv_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$\frac{m}{2}\int {(v_{(t)})}^{2} dt= \frac{m}{2} \frac{{(v_{(t)})}^{2+1}}{2+1}+C=\frac{m}{6} {(v_{(t)})}^{3}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{3}}{s^{3}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\int a_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {a_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{4}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dt}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=0$ because $v_{(x)}$ is a constant in this derivation respect to $t$

$m\int v_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {v_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ and $C$ is a constant
