Q 26.12: Assume current flows in a cylindrical conductor in such a way that the current density increases linearly with radius, from zero at the center to 1.0 A/m2 at the surface of the conductor. If the conductor has a cross sectional area of 1.0 m2, what can you say about the current in this conductor
Answer:
The current is 0.67 A.
Explanation:
Density, J = 1 A/m^2
Area, A = 1 m^2
Let the radius is r. And outer is R.
Use the formula of current density
[tex]I = \int J dA = \int J 2\pi r dr\\\\I = \int_{0}^{R}\frac{2\pi r^2}{R} dr\\\\I = \frac{2 \pi R^2}{3}.... (1)Now A = \pi R^2\\\\1 =\pi R^2\\\\R^2 = \frac{1}{\pi}\\\\So, \\\\I = \frac{2\pi}{3}\times \frac{1}{\pi}\\\\I = 0.67 A[/tex]
190 students sit in an auditorium listening to a physics lecture. Because they are thinking hard, each is using 125 W of metabolic power, slightly more than they would use at rest. An air conditioner with a COP of 5.0 is being used to keep the room at a constant temperature. What minimum electric power must be used to operate the air conditioner?
Answer:
W = 4.75 KW
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the heat to be removed:
Q = (No. of students)(Metabolic Power of Each Student)
Q = (190)(125 W)
Q = 23750 W = 23.75 KW
Now the formula of COP is:
[tex]COP = \frac{Q}{W}\\\\W = \frac{Q}{COP}\\\\W = \frac{23.75\ KW}{5}\\\\[/tex]
W = 4.75 KW
A ball is launched from the ground with a horizontal speed of 30 m/s and a vertical speed of 30 m/s. How long will it take to get to the top of its trajectory? A. 3 seconds B. 4 seconds C. 2 seconds D. 6 seconds
Answer:
A (3 seconds)
Explanation:
Well here we have a type of motion called projectile motion and it is pretty similar to an upside down parabola. The top of the trajectory is the vertex of the parabola and is also when v=0.
Lets identify our givens.
Givens:
Horizontal speed= 30m/s
Vertical Speed= 30 m/s
Since the ball is in freefall after being launched ay=-g(take up to be positive) and ax=0
The ball is launched from the ground so y0=0
Final vertical velocity= 0
This problem is now relatively easy because we only need to find the vertical distance so we can ignore horizontal speed and use
vy=vy0+ayt
Plug in our givens
0=30-10t
solve for t
t=3 seconds
While an object near the earths surface is in free fall, its
A) velocity increases
B) acceleration increases
Answer:
a
Explanation:
The rate of change of an object's location with relation to a reference point is its velocity, which is dependent on time. when an object is dropped from space at rest (t = 0) under the influence of gravity, the velocity of the object changes and increases with time while the acceleration decreases.
A gymnast falls from a height onto a trampoline. For a moment, both the gymnast’s kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy are zero. How is the gymnast’s mechanical energy stored for that moment? Question 12 options: rest energy chemical energy elastic energy thermal energy
Answer:
elastic energy
Explanation:
When a gymnast falls on a trampoline from a height, after coming in contact with the trampoline, both the gymnast and the trampoline start to move down due to the elastic property of the trampoline.
During this stretching of the trampoline there comes a maximum point up to which the trampoline is stretched. At this point, both the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy of the gymnast are zero due to zero speed and zero height, respectively.
The only energy stored in the gymnast's body at this point is the elastic potential energy due to stretching of the trampoline. Hence,the correct option is:
elastic energy
A uniformly dense solid disk with a mass of 4 kg and a radius of 4 m is free to rotate around an axis that passes through the center of the disk and perpendicular to the plane of the disk. The rotational kinetic energy of the disk is increasing at 21 J/s. If the disk starts from rest through what angular displacement (in rad) will it have rotated after 3.3 s?
Answer:
3.44 rad
Explanation:
The rotational kinetic energy change of the disk is given by ΔK = 1/2I(ω² - ω₀²) where I = rotational inertia of solid sphere = MR²/2 where m = mass of solid disk = 4 kg and R = radius of solid disk = 4 m, ω₀ = initial angular speed of disk = 0 rad/s (since it starts from rest) and ω = final angular speed of disk
Since the kinetic energy is increasing at a rate of 21 J/s, the increase in kinetic energy in 3.3 s is ΔK = 21 J/s × 3.3 s = 69.3 J
So, ΔK = 1/2I(ω² - ω₀²)
Since ω₀ = 0 rad/s
ΔK = 1/2I(ω² - 0)
ΔK = 1/2Iω²
ΔK = 1/2(MR²/2)ω²
ΔK = MR²ω²/4
ω² = (4ΔK/MR²)
ω = √(4ΔK/MR²)
ω = 2√(ΔK/MR²)
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
ω = 2√(ΔK/MR²)
ω = 2√(69.3 J/( 4 kg × (4 m)²))
ω = 2√(69.3 J/[ 4 kg × 16 m²])
ω = 2√(69.3 J/64 kgm²)
ω = 2√(1.083 J/kgm²)
ω = 2 × 1.041 rad/s
ω = 2.082 rad/s
The angular displacement θ is gotten from
θ = ω₀t + 1/2αt² where ω₀ = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s (since it starts from rest), t = time of rotation = 3.3 s and α = angular acceleration = (ω - ω₀)/t = (2.082 rad/s - 0 rad/s)/3.3 s = 2.082 rad/s ÷ 3.3 s = 0.631 rad/s²
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
θ = ω₀t + 1/2αt²
θ = 0 rad/s × 3.3 s + 1/2 × 0.631 rad/s² (3.3 s)²
θ = 0 rad + 1/2 × 0.631 rad/s² × 10.89 s²
θ = 1/2 × 6.87159 rad
θ = 3.436 rad
θ ≅ 3.44 rad
Soap bubble coloring example:
(reflection, interference, refraction, diffraction)
Explanation:
Interference is the example of soap bubble colouringEXTRA INFO:(LOOK AT THE IMAGE)
An incoming light ray is partly reflected by the top surface of the soap film and partly reflected by the bottom surface. The wave reflected from the bottom surface has traveled further (an extra distance equal to twice the thickness of the film) so emerges out of step with the top wave. When the two waves meet, they add together, and some colors are removed by destructive interference. Where the film is thickest, the bubble appears more blueish; where it's thinner, it will look more violet or magenta.

Find a parametric representation for the surface. The plane through the origin that contains the vectors i - j and j - k
Answer:
parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u , z = - v
Explanation:
Given vectors :
i - j , j - k
represent the vector equation of the plane as:
r ( u, v ) = r₀ + ua + vb
where: r₀ = position vector
u and v = real numbers
a and b = nonparallel vectors
expressing the nonparallel vectors as :
a = i -j , b = j - k , r = ( x,y,z ) and r₀ = ( x₀, y₀, z₀ )
hence we can express vector equation of the plane as
r(u,v) = ( x₀ + u, y₀ - u + v, z₀ - v )
Finally the parametric representation of the surface through (0,0,0) i.e. origin = 0
( x, y , z ) = ( x₀ + u, y₀ - u + v, z₀ - v )
x = 0 + u ,
y = 0 - u + v
z = 0 - v
∴ parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u , z = - v
Which physical phenomenon is illustrated by the fact that the prism has different refractive indices for different colors
Answer:
The incoming white light is composed of light of different colors,
Since these different colors have different refractive indices they are refracted at different angles from one another.
The output light is then separated by color creating a color spectrum.
Since n is greater for shorter wavelengths (violet colors) these wavelengths are refracted thru the larger angles.
A system gains 1500J of heat and 2200J of work is done by the system on its surroundings. Determine the change in internal energy of the system
Answer:
-700
formula is heat gained - work done
The change in internal energy if A system gains 1500J of heat and 2200J of work is done by the system on its surroundings, is 700 joules.
What is Energy?Energy is the ability to perform work in physics. It could exist in several different forms, such as potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, radioactive, etc.
Additionally, there is heat and work, which is energy being transferred from one body to another. Energy is always assigned based on its nature once it has been transmitted. Thus, heat transmitted may manifest as thermal energy while work performed may result in mechanical energy.
Given:
A system gains 1500J of heat and 2200J of work is done by the system on its surroundings,
Calculate the change in internal energy as shown below,
The change in internal energy = heat gained - work done
The change in internal energy = 1500 - 2200
The change in internal energy = -700 J
Thus, the change in internal energy is 700 joules.

The cable lifting an elevator is wrapped around a 1.1m diameter cylinder that is turned by the elevator's motor. The elevator is moving upward at a speed of 2.6 ms. It then slows to a stop, while the cylinder turns one complete revolution. How long does it take for the elevator to stop? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Answer:
t = 2.7 s
Explanation:
This is a kinematics problem.
How the elevator reduces its speed to zero by a distance equal to the length of the cylinder
y = 2π r = 2 π d / 2
y = π d
y = π 1.1
y = 3,456 m
now we can look for the acceleration of the system
v² = v₀² - 2 a y
0 = v₀² - 2 a y
a = v₀² / 2y
a = 2.6² / 2 3.456
a = 0.978 m / s²
now let's calculate the time
v = v₀ - a t
0 = v₀ - at
t = v₀ / a
t = 2.6 /0.978
t = 2.658 s
ask for the result with two significant figures
t = 2.7 s
Two charged particles exert an electric force of 27 N on each other. What will the magnitude of the force be if the distance between the particles is reduced to one-third of the original separation
Answer:
243 N
Explanation:
The formula for electromagnetic force is F= Kq1q2/r^2
where r is the distance between the charges, if the distance between the charges is reduced by 1/3 then F will increase by 9 [(1/3r)^2 becomes 1/9r which is 9F] so 27*9 is 243N
A particle charge of 2.7 µC is at the center of a Gaussian cube 55 cm on edge. What is the net electric flux through the surface?
Answer:
3.05×10⁵ Nm²C⁻¹
Explanation:
According to Gauss' law,
∅' = q/e₀............... Equation 1
Where ∅' = net flux through the surface, q = net charge, e₀ = electric permittivity of the space
From the question,
Given: q = 2.7 μC = 2.7×10⁻⁶ C,
Constant: e₀ = 8.85×10⁻¹² C²/N.m²
Substituting these values into equation 1
∅' = (2.7×10⁻⁶)/(8.85×10⁻¹²)
∅' = 3.05×10⁵ Nm²C⁻¹

What is the approximate amount of thrust you need to apply to the lander to keep its velocity roughly constant? Explain why, using Newton's first
law of motion.
Answer:
Force is zero.
Explanation:
According to the Newton's second law, when an object is moving with an acceleration the force acting on the object is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the object.
F = m a
if the object is moving with uniform velocity, the acceleration is zero, and thus, the force is also zero.
Answer: Near the moon’s surface, a thrust over 11,250 N but under 13,500 N would make it travel at a constant vertical velocity.
Explanation: .Newton’s first law of motion states that an object in motion continues to move in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In accordance with this law, the lunar lander moves in a downward direction toward the surface of the moon under the influence of force due to gravity. A thrust somewhere between 11,250 and 13,500 balances this gravitational force out.

Answer:
the weight of the air in pound-force (lb-f) is 325.8 lbf
Explanation:
Given;
dimension of the room, = 15 ft by 15 ft by 20 ft
density of air in the room, ρ = 0.0724 lbm/ft³
The volume of air in the room is calculated as;
Volume = 15 ft x 15 ft x 20 ft = 4,500 ft³
The mass of the air is calculated as;
mass = density x volume
mass = 0.0724 lbm/ft³ x 4,500 ft³
mass = 325.8 lb-m
The weight of the air is calculated as;
Weight = mass x gravity
Weight = 325.8 lb-m x 32.174 ft/s²
Weight = 10482.29 lbm.ft/s²
The weight of the air in pound-force (lb-f) is calculated as;
1 lbf = 32.174 lbm.ft/s²
[tex]Weight =10,482.29\ lbm.ft/s^2\times \frac{1 \ lbf}{32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2} \\\\Weight = 325.8 \ lbf[/tex]

The working substance of a certain Carnot engine is 1.50 mol of an ideal monatomic gas. During the isothermal expansion portion of this engine's cycle, the volume of the gas doubles, while during the adiabatic expansion the volume increases by a factor of 5.7. The work output of the engine is 940 J in each cycle. Compute the temperatures of the two reservoirs between which this engine
operates.
Answer:
The hot temperature is 157.5 K
The cold temperature is 48.8 K
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
The working substance of a certain Carnot engine is 1.50 mol of an ideal monatomic gas.
The volume increases by a factor of 5.7
The work output of the engine is 940 J in each cycle.
During the isothermal expansion portion of this engine's cycle, the volume of the gas doubles. This means V2 = 2*V1 (and V4 = 2*V3)
Step 2:For a carnot engine:
V2/V1 = V4/V3
Work = nR((T1)ln(V2/V1) - (T2)ln(V4/V3))
⇒with Work = the work done in the cycle = 940J
⇒with n = the number of moles = 1.50 moles
⇒with R = the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol*K
⇒with T1 = the hot temperature
⇒With T2⇒ the cold temperature
where R = 8.31 J/mol K Gas Constant
940J = 1.5moles * 8.314 J/mol*K * (T1*ln(2) - T2*ln(2)))
940 = 1.5 * 8.314 ln(2) * (T1-T2)
(T1-T2) = 940 / (1.5*8.314*ln(2))
(T1-T2) = 108.7K
For the reversible adiabatic expansion: T2 = T1*(V1/V2)^(R/Cv). Where V2/V1 = 5.7 (Because during the adiabatic expansion the volume increases by a factor of 5.7)
For a monatomic ideal gas, Cv = 3/2R
When we combine both, we'll have:
T2 = T1*(1/5.7)^(R/3/2R)
T2 = T1*(1/5.7)^(2/3)
T2= T1 * 0.31
Since we know that (T1-T2) = 108.7K
we have:
T1 - 0.31T1= 108.7K
0.69T1 = 108.7K
T1 = 157.5K
T2 = 157.5*0.31 = 48.8K

[tex]h = 4.249\,m[/tex]
The wood block reaches a height of 4.249 meters above its starting point.

Since container A has half as many molecules of the ideal gas in it as container B. Therefore, container A will have half the volume of gas as in container B:
[tex]V_A = \frac{1}{2}V_B[/tex]
Now, from Charle's Law:
[tex]\frac{V_A}{T_A}=\frac{V_B}{T_B}\\\\\frac{1}{2}\frac{V_B}{T_A}=\frac{V_B}{T_B}\\\\T_A = \frac{T_B}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is:
A. TA = TB/2.
