While watching a planet orbiting a star, you notice that the doppler shift in the light of the star is becoming increasingly blu

Answer:

The star must be moving "closer" to the earth because the wave fronts that are being emitted are shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum (they are closer together)

Two workers are sliding 350 kgkg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 390 NN while the
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.18

Explanation:

First, we write the equations of motion for each axis. Since the crate is sliding with constant speed, its acceleration is zero. Then, we have:

x: T+F-f_k=0\\\\y:N-mg=0

Where T is the tension in the rope, F is the force exerted by the first worker, f_k is the frictional force, N is the normal force and mg is the weight of the crate.

Since f_k=\mu_k N and N=mg, we can rewrite the first equation as:

T+F-\mu_k mg=0

Now, we solve for \mu_k and calculate it:

\mu_k=\frac{T+F}{mg}\\ \\\mu_k =\frac{220N+390N}{(350kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0.18

This means that the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor is 0.18.

A 0.9 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V. The wires connecting the capacitor to the battery are then di
jeyben [28]

Answer:

3.6μF

Explanation:

The charge on the capacitor is defined by the formula

q = CV

because the charge will be conserved

q₁ = C₁V₂

q₂ = C₂V₂ where C₂ V₂ represent the charge on the newly connected capacitor  and the voltage drop across the two capacitor will be the same

q = q₁ + q₂ = C₁V₂ + C₂V₂

CV = CV₂ + C₂V₂

CV - CV₂ = C₂V₂

C ( V - V₂) = C₂V₂

C ( V/ V₂ - V₂ /V₂) = C₂

C₂ = 0.9 ( 10 /2) - 1) = 0.9( 5 - 1) = 3.6μF

9. Consider the elbow to be flexed at 90 degrees with the forearm parallel to the ground and the upper arm perpendicular to the
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Moment about SHOULDER  ∑ τ = 3.17 N / m,

Moment respect to ELBOW   Στ= 2.80 N m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Newton's second law relationships for rotational motion

         ∑ τ = I α

   

The moment is requested on the elbow and shoulder at the initial instant, just when the movement begins.

They indicate the angular acceleration, for which we must look for the moments of inertia of the elements involved

The mass of the forearm with the included weight is approximately 2.3 kg, with a length of about 50cm

Moment about SHOULDER

          ∑ τ = I α

           I = I_forearm + I_sphere

the forearm can be approximated as a fixed bar at one end

            I_forearm = ⅓ m L²

the moment of inertia of the mass in the hand, let's approach as punctual

            I_mass = m L²

we substitute

           ∑ τ = (⅓ m L² + M L²) α

let's calculate

          ∑ τ = (⅓ 2.3 0.5² + 0.5 0.5²) 10

           ∑ τ = 3.17 N / m

Moment with respect to ELBOW

In this case, the arm exerts an upward force (muscle) that is about 3 cm from the elbow

         Στ = I α

         I = I_ forearm + I_mass

         I = ⅓ m (L-0.03)² + M (L-0.03)²

         

let's calculate

        i = ⅓ 2.3 0.47² + 0.5 0.47²

        I = 0.2798 Kg m²

        Στ = 0.2798 10

        Στ= 2.80 N m

dexar [7]

A car of mass 1535 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2000 kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 17 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what was the initial speed of the car <u>20kmh</u>

<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

A collision in physics is any situation in which two or more bodies quickly exert forces on one another. Despite the fact that the most common usage of the word "collision" refers to situations in which two or more objects clash violently, the scientific usage of the word makes no such assumptions.

The following are a few instances of physical encounters that scientists might classify as collisions:

  • Legs of an insect are said to collide with a leaf when it falls on one.
  • Every contact of a cat's paws with the ground while it strides across a lawn is seen as a collision, as is every brush of its fur with a blade of grass.
