Select the situation for which the torque is the smallest.
a. A 200 kg piece of silver is placed at the end of a 2.5 m tree branch.
b. A 20 kg piece of marble is placed at the end of a 25 m construction crane arm.
c. A 8 kg quartz rock is placed at the end of a 62.5 m thin titanium rod.
d. The torque is the same for two cases.
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
Answer:
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
Explanation:
The formula for torque is:
τ = Fr
where,
τ = Torque
F = Force = Weight (in this case) = mg
r = perpendicular distance between force an axis of rotation
Therefore,
τ = mgr
a)
Here,
m = 200 kg
r = 2.5 m
Therefore,
τ = (200 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
b)
Here,
m = 20 kg
r = 25 m
Therefore,
τ = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(25 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
c)
Here,
m = 8 kg
r = 62.5 m
Therefore,
τ = (8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(62.5 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
Hence, the correct answer will be:
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
The only force acting on a 3.4 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 3.0 N. The canister initially has a velocity of 2.5 m/s in the positive x direction, and some time later has a velocity of 4.8 m/s in the positive y direction. How much work is done on the canister by the 3.0 N force during this time
Answer:
16.79JExplanation:
Given data
mass of canister= 3.4 kg
force acting on canister= 3 N
initial velocity u= 2.5 m/s
final velocity v= 4.8 m/s
The work done on the canister is the change in kinetic energy on the canister

K.E final
[tex]Kfinal= \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\ Kfinal= \frac{1}{2}*2*4.8^2\\\\ Kfinal= \frac{1}{2} *2*23.04\\\\ Kfinal= 23.04J[/tex]
The net work done is [tex]KE= Kfinal- Kinitial[/tex]
[tex]W net= 23.04-6.25= 16.79J[/tex]
Two ice skaters, Paula and Ricardo, initially at rest, push off from each other. Ricardo weighs more than Paula.
A. Which skater, if either, has the greater momentum after the push-off? Explain.
B. Which skater, if either, has the greater speed after the push-off? Explain.
Answer:
the two ice skater have the same momentum but the are in different directions.
Paula will have a greater speed than Ricardo after the push-off.
Explanation:
Given that:
Two ice skaters, Paula and Ricardo, initially at rest, push off from each other. Ricardo weighs more than Paula.
A. Which skater, if either, has the greater momentum after the push-off? Explain.
The law of conservation of can be applied here in order to determine the skater that possess a greater momentum after the push -off
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of two or more objects acting upon one another will not change, provided there are no external forces acting on them.
So if two objects in motion collide, their total momentum before the collision will be the same as the total momentum after the collision.
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
SO, from the information given:
Let represent the mass of Paula with [tex]m_{Pa}[/tex] and its initial velocity with [tex]u_{Pa}[/tex]
Let represent the mass of Ricardo with [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex] and its initial velocity with [tex]u_{Ri}[/tex]
At rest ;
their velocities will be zero, i.e
[tex]u_{Pa}[/tex] = [tex]u_{Ri}[/tex] = 0
The initial momentum for this process can be represented as :
[tex]m_{Pa}[/tex][tex]u_{Pa}[/tex] + [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex][tex]u_{Ri}[/tex] = 0
after push off from each other then their final velocity will be [tex]v_{Pa}[/tex] and [tex]v_{Ri}[/tex]
The we can say their final momentum is:
[tex]m_{Pa}[/tex][tex]v_{Pa}[/tex] + [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex][tex]v_{Ri}[/tex] = 0
Using the law of conservation of momentum as states earlier.
Initial momentum = final momentum = 0
[tex]m_{Pa}[/tex][tex]u_{Pa}[/tex] + [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex][tex]u_{Ri}[/tex] = [tex]m_{Pa}[/tex][tex]v_{Pa}[/tex] + [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex][tex]v_{Ri}[/tex]
Since the initial velocities are stating at rest then ; u = 0
[tex]m_{Pa}[/tex](0) + [tex]m_{Pa}[/tex](0) = [tex]m_{Pa}[/tex][tex]v_{Pa}[/tex] + [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex][tex]v_{Ri}[/tex]
[tex]m_{Pa}[/tex][tex]v_{Pa}[/tex] + [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex][tex]v_{Ri}[/tex] = 0
[tex]m_{Pa}[/tex][tex]v_{Pa}[/tex] = - [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex][tex]v_{Ri}[/tex]
Hence, we can conclude that the two ice skater have the same momentum but the are in different directions.
B. Which skater, if either, has the greater speed after the push-off? Explain.
Given that Ricardo weighs more than Paula
So [tex]m_{Ri} > m_{Pa}[/tex] ;
Then [tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{{m_{Ri}}}{m_{Pa} }= 1}[/tex]
The magnitude of their momentum which is a product of mass and velocity can now be expressed as:
[tex]m_{Pa}[/tex][tex]v_{Pa}[/tex] = [tex]m_{Ri}[/tex][tex]v_{Ri}[/tex]
The ratio is
[tex]\dfrac{v_{Pa}}{v_{Ri}} =\dfrac{m_{Ri}}{m_{Pa}} = 1[/tex]
[tex]v_{Pa} >v_{Ri}[/tex]
Therefore, Paula will have a greater speed than Ricardo after the push-off.
(A) Both the skaters have the same magnitude of momentum.
(B) Paula has greater speed after push-off.
Conservation of momentum:Given that two skaters Paula and Ricardo are initially at rest.
Ricardo weighs more than Paula.
Let us assume that the mass of Ricardo is M, and the mass of Paula is m.
Let their final velocities be V and v respectively.
(A) Initially, both are at rest.
So the initial momentum of Paula and Ricardo is zero.
According to the law of conservation of momentum, the final momentum of the system must be equal to the initial momentum of the system.
Initial momentum = final momentum
0 = MV + mv
MV = -mv
So, both of them have the same magnitude of momentum, but in opposite directions.
(B) If we compare the magnitude of the momentum of Paula and Ricardo, then:
MV = mv
M/m = v/V
Now, we know that M>m
so, M/m > 1
therefore:
v/V > 1
v > V
So, Paula has greater speed.

Answer:
2.4×10^5 N/C
Explanation:
the amplitude can be explained as the maximum field strength of the electric and magnetic fields. Wave energy is proportional to its amplitude squared (E2 or B2).
We were told to calculate the amplitude of the magnetic field, which can be done using expresion below
S=ε²/2cμ
Where S is the intensity intensity of an electromagnetic wave given as 80 MW/m2
ε² is the Amplitude which we are looking for
c= speed of light given as 3×10^8m/s
Substitute the values into above formula we have,
S=ε²/2cμ
Making Amplitude subject of formula
ε²=S×2cμ
ε²=[80×10^6)(2×3×10^8)(4Π×10^-7)
= 245598.44
ε²=2.4×10^5 N/C
Therefore, amplitude of the magnetic field of this wave is S=2.4×10^5 N/C

Find the rms output voltage of the transformer
Answer:
8.28 V
Explanation:
Using,
N2/N1 = V2/V1.................. Equation 1
Where N2/N1 = Turn ratio of the transformer, V1 = primary/input voltage, V2 = output/secondary voltage
make V2 the subject of the equation
V2 = (N2/N1)V1............ Equation 2
Given: N2/N1 = 2:29 = 2/29, V1 = 120 V
Substitute these values into equation 2
V2 = (2/29)120
V2 = 8.28 V
Hence the rms output voltage of the transformer = 8.28 V

An electron has an initial velocity to the south but is observed to curve upward as the result of a magnetic field. This magnetic field must have a component:___________
a) north
b) upwards
c) downwards
d) east
e) west
Answer:
e) west
Explanation:
According to Lorentz left hand rule, the left hand is used to represent the motion of an electron in a magnetic field. Hold out the left hand with the fingers held out parallel to the palm, and the thumb held at right angle to the other fingers. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron though the field, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the particle.
In this case, if we point the thumb to the south (towards your body), with the palm facing up, then the fingers will point west.

Explanation:
From the question given:
F = (9×10⁹ Nm/C²) (3.2×10¯⁹ C × 9.6×10¯⁹ C) /(0.32)²
Thus we can obtain the value value of F by carrying the operation as follow:
F = (9×10⁹) (3.2×10¯⁹ × 9.6×10¯⁹) /(0.32)²
F = 2.7648×10¯⁷ / 0.1024
F = 2.7×10¯⁶ N.
Therefore, the value of F is 2.7×10¯⁶ N.

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.07 T.
Consult Interactive Solution 27.18 to review a model for solving this problem. A film of oil lies on wet pavement. The refractive index of the oil exceeds that of the water. The film has the minimum nonzero thickness such that it appears dark due to destructive interference when viewed in visible light with wavelength 653 nm in vacuum. Assuming that the visible spectrum extends from 380 to 750 nm, what is the longest visible wavelength (in vacuum) for which the film will appear bright due to constructive interference
Answer:
Explanation:
In the given case for destructive interference , the condition is,
path difference = (2n+1)λ /2 where n is an integer and λ is wavelength
2 μ d = (2n+1)λ /2
Putting λ = 653 nm
for minimum thickness n = 0
2 μ d = 653 / 2 nm
= 326.5 nm
For constructive interference the condition is
2 μ d = n λ₁
326.5 nm = n λ₁
λ₁ = 326.5 / n
For n = 1
λ₁ = 326.5 nm ,
or , 326.5nm .
Longest wavelength possible is 326.5
A diver shines an underwater searchlight at the surface of a pond (n = 1.33). At what angle (relative to the surface) will the light be totally reflected?
Answer:
41.2°
Explanation:
Total internal reflection is the reflection of the incident ray at the interface between two media in which one of the media has a lower refractive index than the other. It occurs when the angle of incidence in the denser medium exceeds the critical angle.
The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium when the angle of incidence in the less dense medium is 90°.
Since
n= 1/sin C
C= sin^-(1/n)
C= sin^-(1/1.33)
C= 48.8°
Hence angle of incidence= 90-48.8 = 41.2°

d = 2 x 80 = 160 m
the time taken = d/c = 160/(3 x 10^8) = 5.3 x 10^-7 s = 0.53 µs
c) accuracy in distance Δd = 11.5 m
Δt = accuracy in time = Δd/c = 11.5/(3 x 10^8) = 3.8 x 10^-8 = 38 ns
Ocean waves with a wavelength of 120 m are coming in at a rate of 8 per minute. What is their speed?
Explanation:
We know that,
[tex]v(wave \: speed) = f(frequency) \times \alpha (wavelength)[/tex]
frequency (f) = 1 / t (sec) = 8/60 = 0.13 Hz
V ( wave speed) = 0.13 * 120 = 16 m/sec
The speed of the given wave is equal to 15.96 m/s.
What are frequency and wavelength?The frequency of the wave can be defined as the number of oscillations of a wave in one second. The frequency has S.I. units which can be expressed as per second or hertz (Hz).
The wavelength can be described as the distance between the two adjacent points in phase. Two crests or two troughs of a wave are separated by a distance is called wavelength.
The relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (ν), and wave speed (V):
V = νλ
Given, the frequency of the wave, ν = 8 min⁻¹ = 0.133 s⁻¹
The wavelength of the wave, λ = 120 m
The speed of the waves can calculate from the above-mentioned relationship:
V = νλ = 120 × 0.133 = 15.96 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the wave is equal to 15.96 m/s.

When light is either reflected or refracted, the quantity that does not change in either process is its
Answer:
Frequency
Explanation:
When waves travel from one medium to another, it is only the frequency of the wave that remains constant . when a wave is refracted at the boundary between two media, the wave will slow down and its wavelength decreases. The wave usually bends at the interface between the two media. The wavelength and speed of a wave may change at the boundary between two media but its frequency remains the same.
Hence the frequency of light is its only property that remains constant.
