1. A 2.7-kg copper block is given an initial speed of 4.0 m/s on a rough horizontal surface. Because of friction, the block finally comes to rest. (a) If the block absorbs 85% of its initial kinetic energy as internal energy, calculate its increase in temperature.

Answers

Answer:

ΔT = 0.017 °C

Explanation:

According to the given condition, the change in internal energy of the block must be equal to 85% of its kinetic energy:

Change in Internal Energy = (0.85)(Kinetic Energy)

[tex]mC\Delta T = (0.85)\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\C\Delta T = (0.425)v^2\\\\\Delta T = \frac{0.425v^2}{C}[/tex]

where,

ΔT = increase in temperature = ?

v = speed of block = 4 m/s

C = specific heat capacity of copper = 389 J/kg.°C

Therefore,

[tex]\Delta T = \frac{(0.425)(4\ m/s)^2}{389}\\\\[/tex]

ΔT = 0.017 °C

A boy walks from point C to point D which is 50 m apart. Then, he walks back to point C. what is his displacement of his whole journey ?
A.25 m
B.75 m
C.50 m
D.0 m

Answers

Answer: D. 0 m

Explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the concept of displacement.

Displacement is defined to be the change in position of an object.

The difference between displacement and distance is the total movement of an object without any regard to direction, while displacement is the pure change of position.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

STEP ONE: the boy walks from point C to point D (a distance of 50 m)

C ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ D

                                              50 m

STEP TWO: the boy walks from point D to point C (a distance of 50 m)

D ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ C

                                               50 m

STEP THREE: find the displacement

The boy started with point C

The boy ended with point C

He did not change his position throughout the journey.

Therefore, his displacement is 0 m.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle T = \sqrt{\frac{4\, \pi^{2} \, r^{3}}{G \cdot m}}[/tex].

The unit of both sides of this equation are [tex]\rm s[/tex].

Explanation:

The unit of the left-hand side is [tex]\rm s[/tex], same as the unit of [tex]T[/tex].

The following makes use of the fact that for any non-zero value [tex]x[/tex], the power [tex]x^{-1}[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}[/tex].

[tex]\pi[/tex] has no unit.The unit of [tex]r[/tex] is [tex]\rm m[/tex].The unit of [tex]G[/tex] is [tex]\displaystyle \rm \frac{m^{3}}{kg \cdot s^{2}}[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]\rm m^{3} \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}[/tex].The unit of [tex]m[/tex] is [tex]\rm kg[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \rm \sqrt{\frac{(m)^{3}}{(m^{3} \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}) \cdot (kg)}} \\ &= \rm \sqrt{\frac{m^{3}}{m^{3} \cdot s^{-2}}} = \sqrt{s^{2}} = s\end{aligned}[/tex].

Hence, the unit on the right-hand side of this equation is also [tex]\rm s[/tex].

After enjoying a tasty meal of the first moth, the bat goes after another moth. Flying with the same speed and emitting the same frequency, this time the bat detects a reflected frequency of 55.5 kHz. How fast is the second moth moving

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A bat flies towards a moth at 7.1 m/s while the moth is flying towards the bat at 4.4 m/s. The bat emits a sound wave of 51.7 kHz.

After enjoying a tasty meal of the first moth, the bat goes after another moth. Flying with the same speed and emitting the same frequency, this time the bat detects a reflected frequency of 55.5 kHz. How fast is the second moth moving

Answer:

the second moth is moving at 5.062 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using doppler's effect

[tex]f_{moth[/tex] = f₀( [tex]v_{s[/tex] ± [tex]v_{observer[/tex] / [tex]v_{s[/tex] ± [tex]v_{source[/tex] )

f₁ = f₀( ([tex]v_{s[/tex] + v₂) / ( [tex]v_{s[/tex] - v₁ ) )

frequency reflected from the moth,

Now, moth is the source and the bat is the receiver

f₂ = f₁( ([tex]v_{s[/tex] + v₁ ) / ( [tex]v_{s[/tex] - v₂ ) )

hence, f = f₀[ ( ( [tex]v_{s[/tex] + v₁ ) / ( [tex]v_{s[/tex] - v₂ ) ) ( ( [tex]v_{s[/tex] + u₂ ) / ( [tex]v_{s[/tex] - u₁ ) )

we know that, the velocity of sound [tex]v_{s[/tex] = 343 m/s.

given that v₁ and v₂ { velocity of bat } = 7.1 m/s, f₀ = 51.7 kHz and f = 55.5 kHz.

we substitute

55.5 = 51.7[ ( ( 343 + 7.1 ) / ( 343 - 7.1 ) ) ( ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u ) ) ]

55.5 = 51.7[  ( 350.1 / 335.9 ) ( ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u ) ) ]

55.5 = 51.7[ 1.04227 ( ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u ) ) ]

55.5 = 53.885359 ( ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u ) ) ]

55.5 / 53.885359 = ( 343 + u ) / ( 343 - u )

1.02996 =  ( 343 + u₂ ) / ( 343 - u )

( 343 + u₂ ) = 1.02996( 343 - u )

343 + u = 353.27628 - 1.02996u

u + 1.02996u = 353.27628 - 343

2.02996u = 10.27628

u = 10.27628 / 2.02996

u = 5.062 m/s

Therefore, the second moth is moving at 5.062 m/s

Give examples of motion in which the directions of the velocity and acceleration vectors are (a) opposite, (b) the same, and (c) mutually perpendicular​

Answers

Answer:

a) When moving body applies brake then velocity and acceleration would be in opposite direction

b) When body starts to increase velocity then velocity and acceleration would be in same direction

c) When body is circulating then velocity and acceleration would be perpendicular to each other

Explanation:

a) When body applies brake then its velocity starts decreasing, in this case its acceleration would try to stop the moving body. So direction of velocity would be same as direction of motion of body but direction of acceleration would be in opposite direction

b) When body starts to increase velocity, its acceleration would make the body to move faster. So direction of velocity would be the direction of motion of body and acceleration would also be in same direction

c) When body moves in circular path then its acceleration would be towards centre of circle and velocity would try to snap the body out of circle to straight line which in tangent to circle.

Suppose your actual height is 5 feet and 5.2 inches. A tape measure which can be read tothe nearest 1/8 of an inch gives your height as 65 3/8 inches. The laser device at the clinic that givesreadings to the nearest hundredth of an inch says you are 65.31 inches.

Required:
a. Which measuring device is more accurate?
b. Which measuring device is more precise?

Answers

Answer:

a) The laser device

b) The tape

Explanation:

First, there is a need to understand what accuracy and precision mean.

Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to its true (pre-determined) value.

Precision is the closeness of repeated measurements to each other.

Since 1 feet = 12 inches, then, 5 feet and 5.2 inches would be equivalent to 65.2 inches. This value represents the true value of my height.

The tape measured the height as 65 3/8, which is equivalent to 65.375 inches.

The laser device measured the height as 65.31.

Error = true value - measured value

Absolute error from the tape = 65.2 - 65.375

                                       = -0.175 inches

Absolute error from laser device = 65.2 - 65.31

                                 = -0.11

a) The magnitude of error from the tape is more than that of the laser device. Hence, the laser device is said to be more accurate.

b) Even though there were just single readings from both instruments, the tape can be read to the nearest 1/8 of an inch and as such, can give more precisive measurements than the laser device.

Answers

Answer:

(a)  209 Watt

(b) 4482.8 seconds

Explanation:

(a) P = 50×4.18

Where P = rate of heat loss in watt

    P = 209 Watt

Applying,

Q = cm(t₁-t₂)................ Equation 1

Where Q = amount of heat given off, c = specific heat capacity capacity of human, m = mass of the person, t₁ and t₂ = initial and final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 90 kg, t₁ = 40°C, t₂ = 37°C

Constant: c = 3470 J/kg.K

Substtut these values into equation 1

Q = 90×3470(40-37)

Q = 936900 J

But,

P = Q/t.............. Equation 2

Where t = time

t = Q/P............ Equation 3

Given: P = 209 Watt, Q = 936900

Substitute into equation 3

t = 936900/209

t = 4482.8 seconds

The work done by gravity on a ball of 2 kg which is moving with a constant speed of 6 meter per second is zero. Thus, the correct option is A.

What is Work?

Work is the energy transfer to or from an object through the application of force along with the displacement. For a constant force aligned with the direction of motion, the work done is equal to the product of the force strength which is applied and the distance traveled by the object.

Work = Force × Displacement

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Acceleration of the ball is zero as it is moving with a constant speed. Therefore, the work done by the gravity is zero.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A block weighting 400kg rests on a horizontal surface and support on top of it another block of weight 100kg placed on the top of it as shown. The block w2 is attached to avertical wall by a string 6m long. If the coefficient of friction between all surface is 0.25 and the system is in equilibrium find the magnitude of the horizontal force applied to the lower block

Answers

The horizontal force applied to the block is approximately 1,420.84 N

The known parameters;

The mass of the block, w₁ = 400 kg

The orientation of the surface on which the block rest, w₁ = Horizontal

The mass of the block placed on top of the 400 kg block, w₂ = 100 kg

The length of the string to which the block w₂ is attached, l = 6 m

The coefficient of friction between the surface, μ = 0.25

The state of the system of blocks and applied force = Equilibrium

Strategy;

Calculate the forces acting on the blocks and string

The weight of the block, W₁ = 400 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 3,924 N

The weight of the block, W₂ = 100 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 981 N

Let T represent the tension in the string

The upward force from the string = T × sin(θ)

sin(θ) = √(6² - 5²)/6

Therefore;

The upward force from the string = T×√(6² - 5²)/6

The frictional force = (W₂ - The upward force from the string) × μ

The frictional force, [tex]F_{f2}[/tex] = (981 - T×√(6² - 5²)/6) × 0.25

The tension in the string, T = [tex]F_{f2}[/tex] × cos(θ)

∴ T = (981 - T×√(6² - 5²)/6) × 0.25 × 5/6

Solving, we get;

[tex]T = \dfrac{5886}{\sqrt{6^2 - 5^2} + 28.8} \approx 183.27[/tex]

[tex]Frictional \ force, F_{f2} = \left (981 - \dfrac{5886}{\sqrt{6^2 - 5^2} + 28.8} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{6^2 - 5^2} }{6} \times 0.25 \right) \approx 219.92[/tex]

The frictional force on the block W₂, [tex]F_{f2}[/tex] ≈ 219.92 N

Therefore;

The force acting the block w₁, due to w₂ [tex]F_{w2}[/tex] = 219.92/0.25 ≈ 879.68

The total normal force acting on the ground, N = W₁ + [tex]\mathbf{F_{w2}}[/tex]

The frictional force from the ground, [tex]\mathbf{F_{f1}}[/tex] = N×μ + [tex]\mathbf{F_{f2}}[/tex] = P

Where;

P = The horizontal force applied to the block

P = (W₁ + [tex]\mathbf{F_{w2}}[/tex]) × μ + [tex]\mathbf{F_{f2}}[/tex]

Therefore;

P = (3,924 + 879.68) × 0.25 + 219.92 ≈ 1,420.84

The horizontal force applied to the block, P ≈ 1,420.84 N

a. -3.6 J
b. -3.3 F
c. -3.4 times 10^-5 J
d. 3.3 J
e. 3.6 J

Answers

Answer:

b) - 3.3 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 2 kg

initial extension of the spring, x = 6 cm = 0.06 m

The weight of the mass on the spring;

W = mg

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

W = 2 x 9.81

W = 19.62 N

The spring constant is calculated as;

W = kx

k = W/x

k = 19.62 / 0.06

k = 327 N/m

The work done by the spring when it is extended to an additional 10 cm;

work done = force x distance

distance = extension, x =  10 cm = 0.1 m

The work done by the spring opposes the applied force by acting in opposite direction to the force.

W = - Fx

W = - (kx) x

W = - kx²

W = - (327) x (0.1)²

W = - 3.27 J

W ≅ - 3.3 J

Therefore, the work done by the spring by opposing the applied force is -3.3 J

Introduction

Waves are important for building up and breaking down shorelines. Waves transport sand onto and off of beaches. They transport sand along beaches. Waves carve structures at the shore.

Wave Action and Erosion

All waves are energy traveling through some type of material, such as water (Figure below). Ocean waves form from wind blowing over the water.

Ocean waves are energy traveling through water.

The largest waves form when the wind is very strong, blows steadily for a long time, and blows over a long distance.

The wind could be strong, but if it gusts for just a short time, large waves won’t form. Wave energy does the work of erosion at the shore. Waves approach the shore at some angle so the inshore part of the wave reaches shallow water sooner than the part that is further out. The shallow part of the wave ‘feels’ the bottom first. This slows down the inshore part of the wave and makes the wave ‘bend.’ This bending is called refraction.

Wave refraction either concentrates wave energy or disperses it. In quiet water areas, such as bays, wave energy is dispersed, so sand is deposited. Areas that stick out into the water are eroded by the strong wave energy that concentrates its power on the wave-cut cliff (Figure below).

The wave erodes the bottom of the cliff, eventually causing the cliff to collapse.

Other features of wave erosion are pictured and named in Figure below. A wave-cut platform is the level area formed by wave erosion as the waves undercut a cliff. An arch is produced when waves erode through a cliff. When a sea arch collapses, the isolated towers of rocks that remain are known as sea stacks.

(a) The high ground is a large wave-cut platform formed from years of wave erosion. (b) A cliff eroded from two sides produces an arch. (c) The top of an arch erodes away, leaving behind a tall sea stack.

Wave Deposition

Rivers carry sediments from the land to the sea. If wave action is high, a delta will not form. Waves will spread the sediments along the coastline to create a beach (Figure below). Waves also erode sediments from cliffs and shorelines and transport them onto beaches.

Sand deposits in quiet areas along a shoreline to form a beach.

Beaches can be made of mineral grains, like quartz, rock fragments, and also pieces of shell or coral (Figure below).

Quartz, rock fragments, and shell make up the sand along a beach.

Waves continually move sand along the shore. Waves also move sand from the beaches on shore to bars of sand offshore as the seasons change. In the summer, waves have lower energy so they bring sand up onto the beach. In the winter, higher energy waves bring the sand back offshore.

Some of the features formed by wave-deposited sand are in Figure below. These features include barrier islands and spits. A spit is sand connected to land and extending into the water. A spit may hook to form a tombolo.

Examples of features formed by wave-deposited sand.

Shores that are relatively flat and gently sloping may be lined with long narrow barrier islands (Figure below). Most barrier islands are a few kilometers wide and tens of kilometers long.

(a) Barrier islands off of Alabama. A lagoon lies on the inland side. (b) Barrier islands, such as Padre Island off the coast of Texas, are made entirely of sand. (c) Barrier islands are some of the most urbanized areas of our coastlines, such as Miami Beach.

In its natural state, a barrier island acts as the first line of defense against storms such as hurricanes. When barrier islands are urbanized (Figure above), hurricanes damage houses and businesses rather than vegetated sandy areas in which sand can move. A large hurricane brings massive problems to the urbanized area.

Protecting Shorelines

Intact shore areas protect inland areas from storms that come off the ocean (Figure below).

Dunes and mangroves along Baja California protect the villages that are found inland.
