Answer:

gravitational acceleration is the acceleration of an object in free fall within a vacuum (and thus without experiencing drag). This is the steady gain in speed caused exclusively by the force of gravitational attraction.

Answer:

Gravitational acceleration is described as the object receiving an acceleration due to the force of gravity acting on it. It is represented by ‘g’ and its unit is m/s².

Gravitational acceleration is a quantity of vector, that is it has both magnitude and direction.

Estimate the inductance L of a coil that is 12 cm long, made of about 235 copper-wire turns and a diameter of about 1.7 cm. Show

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Inductance as calculated is 13.12 mH

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the coil, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Diameter, d = 1.7 cm = 0.017 m

No. of turns, N = 235

Now,

Area of cross-section of the wire, A = $\frac{\pi d^{2}}{4} = \frac{\pi \times 0.017^{2}}{4} = 2.269\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}$

We know that the inductance of the coil is given by the formula:

$L = \frac{mu_{o}AN^{2}}{l} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{- 7}\times 2.269\times 10^{- 4}\times 235^{2}}{0.12} = 1.312\times 10^{- 4}\ H = 13.12\ mH$

Dafna11 [192]

Answers:

a) -2.54 m/s

b) -2351.25 J

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum $p_{o}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ :

$p_{o}=p_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$p_{o}=m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}$ (2)

$p_{f}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f}$ (3)

$m_{1}=110 kg$ is the mass of the first football player

$V{o}=-7 m/s$ is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)

$m_{2}=75 kg$ is the mass of the second football player

$U_{o}=4 m/s$ is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both football players

With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:

a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):

$m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(110 kg)(-7 m/s) + (75 kg) (4 m/s)}{110 kg + 75 kg}$ (6)

$V_{f}=-2.54 m/s$ (7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south

b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player

The change in Kinetic energy $\Delta K$ is defined as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{o}^{2}$ (8)

Simplifying:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}(V_{f}^{2} - V_{o}^{2})$ (9)

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} 110 kg((-2.5 m/s)^{2} - (-7 m/s)^{2})$ (10)

Finally:

$\Delta K=-2351.25 J$ (10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision

: A honeybucket man is carrying his load. He has a pole 2 m long with a bucket hanging from each end. The buckets have a mass of

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the principle of moment, assuming the rod is uniform rod of mass 1 kg

the center of mass of the rod will be at 1 m

assuming the system is in equilibrium,

clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment

let the distance of the man shoulder be x from the center of gravity and also is the pivot point

total mass of bucket + mass of honey = 2kg + 3 kg = 5 kg for rear bucket and

2kg + 5 kg = 7 kg for front bucket

( 5kg × ( 1+x)) + ( 1 kg × x) = 7 kg × ( 1 - x)

5 + 5 x + x = 7 - 7x

5 + 6x = 7 - 7x

6x + 7x = 7 - 5

13x = 2

x = 2 / 13 = 0.154 m

the honeybucket man's shoulder is 0.154 m from the center of the pole ( forward ).
