Hi there!

We can use impulse for this situation:

I = Δp = mΔv

Impulse = Force × time, so:

I = 63.9(24) = 1533.6 Ns

Find force by dividing by time:

I/t = 1533.6/1.2 = 1278 N

Two copper rods are separated by a small gap at B. Rod AB has a diameter of 200mm and rod BC has a diameter of 150mm. Find the f

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A)3.8196 * $10^{9}$ Newtons B) 2.153 * $10^{9}$ Newtons

Explanation:

Force = Pressure * Area.

Pressure is given as 120GPa

Area = Cross Sectional Area of Rod = Area Of A circle = π $R^{2}$ .

Area Expansivity β = $\frac{Change in Area}{Original Area * Temperature Rise}$

Area Expansivity β = 2α

α = 16.9x10-6/ ° C.

Radius of Rod AB = Half 0f Diameter, 200mm = $\frac{0.2m}{2}$ = 0.1 m

Radius of Rod BC = Half Of Diameter, 150mm = $\frac{0.15}{2}$ = 0.075 m.

Note: To convert from millimeter to meter you divide by 1000.

Area of Rod AB = π * $0.1^{2}$ = 0.0314 $m^{2}$

Area of Rod BC = π * $0.075^{2}$ = 0.0177 $m^{2}$ .

Change in Area = 2α * Original Area * Temperature Rise. Therefore for

Rod AB = 2 * 16.9* $10^{-6}$ * 0.0314 * 30 = 3.183 * $10^{-5}$ $m^{2}$ .

For Rod BC we have = 2 * 16.9* $10^{-6}$ * 0.0177 * 30 = 1.794∈-5 $m^{2}$ .

The forces on each rods will be given by.

Force AB = Pressure * Area of Rod AB

= 120GPa * 3.183 * $10^{-5}$ gives 3.8196 * $10^{9}$ Newtons.

Force BC = Pressure * Area of Rod BC

= 120GPa * 1.794 * $10^{-5}$ gives 2.153 * $10^{9}$ Newtons

1.How is the law of conservation of energy demonstrated by the movement of the pendulum?

Snezhnost [94]

1. Law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, for example, windmills take kinetic energy(movement energy) and convert it into electrical energy using gears and a generator as well as the blades.

so this supports it because the pendulum never reaches the same height twice unless you reset it so the energy is always getting less and less and not randomly getting back onto the pendulum.

2.Gravity, friction and air resistance slow it down as well

3. at the top, potential energy is the amount of energy something has relative to the amount it can disperse before stopping, for example, a book on a shelf has more potential energy than that of a book on a table, this is because when the shelf book falls it will create more energy than the table book.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$
