1. A tennis ball is dropped from a second story window. It is in free fall, accelerating downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. At the exact same time, another person throws a tennis ball out the adjacent window with a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s. Assuming no air resistance, which ball hits the ground first? Why?
Answer:
Both balls will hit the ground at the same time, because gravity is constant.Explanation:
Notice that both balls are being thrown at the same initial height.
It's important to know that these movements which depends of gravity (a constant acceleratio) they would fall at the same rythm, because the gravity is a constant.
Remember that gravity is an acceleration, which it's defined as the change of the velocity, so if both balls change their vertical velocity at the same rate, then they will fall at the same time, because they have the same initial height.
Additionally, when you throw a ball horizontally, it will bend down due to gravity, and this falling movement is the same as if you throw vertically as a free falling movement.
Therefore, both balls will hit the ground at the same time, because gravity is constant.
An electric dipole consists of a positive and a negative charge of equal magnitude. Consider an electric dipole with each charge having a magnitude of 1 × 10−6 C. The negative charge is located at (3 cm, 0) and the positive charge is located at (−3 cm, 0). Calculate the electric field from each charge at the points A through E, described below. Use symmetry as much as possible! Using the scale 1 cm = 105 N/C, draw the vector to represent the magnitude and direction of the electric field from each charge. (When entering angle values, enter a number greater than or equal to 0° and less than 360° measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) • A = (−13 cm, 0) • B = (−3 cm, 10 cm) • C = (0, 10 cm ) • D = (3 cm, 10 cm) • E = (13 cm, 0) For the negative charge:
Answer:
Explanation:
To find the electric field you use the equation for an electrostatic electric field:
[tex]E=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]
r: distance in which E is calculated, from each charge
In the of a dipole you have two contributions to E:
[tex]\vec{E}=\vec{E_1}+\vec{E_2}[/tex]
where E1 is the electric field generated by the first charge and E2 by the second one.
A. (-13 cm, 0):
First you calculate the vectors E1 and E2:
[tex]E_1=(8.98*10^9)\frac{(1*10^{-6}C)}{(-0.13-0.03)^2}\hat{j}\\\\E_1=350781.25N/C\\\\E_2=-(8.98*10^9)\frac{(1*10^{-6}C)}{(-0.13+0.03)^2}\hat{j}\\\\E_2=-989000N/C[/tex]
Then, you sum both contributions:
[tex]\vec{E}=-547218.75N/C\hat{j}[/tex]
B. (-3cm, 10cm):
[tex]r_1=\sqrt{(0.06)^2+(0.1)^2}=0.116m\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{0.06}{0.1})=30.96\°\\\\r_2=0.1m\\\\E_1=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C)\frac{(1.6*10^{-6}C)}{(0.116m)^2}[cos(30.96\°)\hat{i}+sin(30.96\°)\hat{j}]\\\\E_1=[-915646\hat{i}-549306.42\hat{j}]N/C\\\\\theta=(90-30.96)+180=239.04\°\\\\[/tex]
the last angle is calculated again because the vector direction is measured from the +x axis.
and for the second vector:
[tex]E_2=(8.98Nm^2/C)\frac{1.6*10^{-6}C}{(0.1m)^2}\hat{j}\\\\E_2=1436800N/C\hat{j}[/tex]
the total E is:
[tex]\vec{E}=[-915646\hat{i}+887493.58\hat{j}]N/C[/tex]
Suppose you wanted to use a non-reflecting layer for radar waves to make an aircraft invisible. What would the thickness of the layer be to avoid reflecting 2 cm radar waves. (You can neglect changes of wavelength in the layer for this problem.) Would there be any problems as the aircraft turn
Answer:
the thickness of the film for destructive interference is 1 cm
Explanation:
We can assume that the radar wave penetrates the layer and is reflected in the inner part of it, giving rise to an interference phenomenon of the two reflected rays, we must be careful that the ray has a phase change when
* the wave passes from the air to the film with a higher refractive index
* the wavelength inside the film changes by the refractive index
λ = λ₀ / n
so the ratio for destructive interference is
2 n t = m λ
t = m λ / 2n
indicate that the wavelength λ = 2 cm, suppose that the interference occurs for m = 1, therefore it is thickness
t = 1 2/2 n
t = 1 / n
where n is the index of refraction of the anti-reflective layer. As they tell us not to take into account the change in wavelength when penetrating the film n = 1
t = 1 cm
So the thickness of the film for destructive interference is 1 cm
Answer:
the thickness of the film for destructive interference is 1 cm
Explanation:
You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Based on the specifications, you know that the greatest angle that the light will make with the horizontal is no greater than 25⁰. Assuming you will be using the scope in the body which has the same index of refraction of water (n = 1.33). What is the minimum index of refraction n2 required for the design to be functional?
Answer:
Explanation:
For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index
sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube
r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.
sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C) = μ
sin65 / cos C = μ
sinC = 1.33 / μ , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.
From these equations
sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC
TanC = 1.33 / sin65
TanC = 1.33 / .9063
TanC = 1.4675
C= 56°
sinC = 1.33 / μ
μ = 1.33 / sinC
= 1.33 / sin56
= 1.33 / .829
μ = 1.6 Ans

Two wires, both with current out of the page, are next to one another. The wire on the left has a current of 1 A and the wire on the right has a current of 2 A. We can say that:
A. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts twice the force as the right wire does.
B. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts half the force as the right wire does.
C. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.
D. The left wire repels the right wire and exerts twice the force as the right wire does.
E. The left wire repels the right wire and exerts half the force as the right wire does.
F. The left wire repels the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.
Answer:
C. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.
Explanation:
To know what is the answer you first take into account the magnetic field generated by each current, for a distance of d:
[tex]B_1=\frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi d}=\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi d}(1A)\\\\B_2=\frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi d}=\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi d}(2A)=2B_1\\\\[/tex]
Next, you use the formula for the magnetic force produced by the wires:
[tex]\vec{F_B}=I\vec{L}\ X \vec{B}[/tex]
if the direction of the L vector is in +k direction, the first wire produced a magnetic field with direction +y, that is, +j and the second wire produced magnetic field with direction -y, that is, -j (this because the direction of the magnetic field is obtained by suing the right hand rule). Hence, the direction of the magnetic force on each wire, produced by the other one is:
[tex]\vec{F_{B1}}=I_1L\hat{k}\ X\ B_2(-\hat{j})=I_1LB_2\hat{i}=(2A^2)\frac{L\mu_o}{2\pi d}\hat{i}\\\\\vec{F_{B2}}=I_2L\hat{k}\ X\ B_2(\hat{j})=I_2LB_1\hat{i}=-(2A^2)\frac{L\mu_o}{2\pi d}\hat{i}[/tex]
Hence, due to this result you have that:
C. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.
In this circuit the battery provides 3 V, the resistance R1 is 7 Ω, and R2 is 5 Ω. What is the current through resistor R2? Give your answer in units of Amps. An Amp is 1 Coulomb of charge flowing through a cross-sectional area of the wire per second - that's a lot of charge per second and will warm up a typical wire quite a bit! Most devices have circuits with larger resistors - kLaTeX: \OmegaΩ (103 LaTeX: \OmegaΩ) and MLaTeX: \OmegaΩ (106 LaTeX: \OmegaΩ) are common.
Answer:
The current pass the [tex]R_2[/tex] is [tex]I = 0.25 A[/tex]
Explanation:
The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image
From the question we are told that
The voltage is [tex]V = 3V[/tex]
The first resistance is [tex]R_1 = 7 \Omega[/tex]
The second resistance is [tex]R_2 = 5 \Omega[/tex]
Since the resistors are connected in series their equivalent resistance is
[tex]R_{eq} = R_1 +R_2[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]R_{eq} = 7 + 5[/tex]
[tex]R_{eq} = 12 \Omega[/tex]
Since the resistance are connected in serie the current passing through the circuit is the same current passing through [tex]R_2[/tex] which is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]I = \frac{V}{R_{eq}}[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]I = \frac{3}{12}[/tex]
[tex]I = 0.25 A[/tex]
A possible means for making an airplane invisible to radar is to coat the plane with an antireflective polymer. If radar waves have a wavelength of 2.92 cm and the index of refraction of the polymer is n = 1.30, how thick (in cm) would you make the coating? (Assume that the index of refraction of the plane is higher than that of the coating. Also assume that the radar waves are normal to the surface of the coating. Give the minimum thickness that would make the airplane invisible to radar.)
Answer:
The thickness is [tex]t = 0.5615 \ cm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength of the of the rader waves is [tex]\lambda = 2.92 \ cm[/tex]
The index of refraction of the polymer is [tex]n = 1.30[/tex]
The thickness is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{\lambda }{4 n }[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{2.92}{4 * 1.30 }[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.5615 \ cm[/tex]
15. A parallel-plate capacitor, with air between the plates, is connected across a voltage source. This source establishes a potential difference between the plates by placing charge of magnitude 4.15 x 10-6 C on each plate. The space between the plates is then filled with a dielectric material, with a dielectric constant of 7.74. What must the magnitude of the charge on each capacitor plate now be, to produce the same potential difference between the plates as before? (Input your answer in 3 significant figures without unit. For example, if the answer is 1.356 x 10-6 C; then just input 1.37)
Answer:
Q' = 3.21*10^{-5}C
Explanation:
To find the new magnitude of the charge you take into account that the voltage of the this capacitor is given by:
[tex]\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o\epsilon_r A}=\frac{V}{d}\\\\V=\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_o\epsilon_r A}[/tex]
Q: total charge
d: distance between parallel plates
A: area of the plates
εr: dielectric constant
εo = dielectric permittivity of vacuum
for the case of the air εr = 1, then,
[tex]V=\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_o A}[/tex] (1)
When a dielectric material is placed in between the plates, you have, for the same voltage, and for a different charge:
[tex]V=\frac{Q'd}{\epsilon_o\epsilon_rA}[/tex] (2)
you equal the equation (1) and (2) and obtain:
[tex]\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_o A}=\frac{Q'd}{\epsilon_o \epsilon_r A}\\\\Q'=\epsilon_r Q[/tex]
by replacing you obtain:
[tex]Q'=(7.74)(4.15*10^{-6}C)=3.21*10^{-5}C[/tex]
A brick is dropped from a high scaffold. a. What is its velocity after 4.0s ?
b. How far does the brick fall during this time ?
Answer:
A: 1.962
B: 3.924
Explanation:
g = G *M /R^2
g = 9.807*M/R^2 the gravitational constant of ground level on earth is about 9.807
g = 9.807*5lbs/R^2 the average brick is about 5 pounds.
g = 9.807*5*10^2. I'm assuming the height is around ten feet to help you out.
with these numbers plugged in you get an acceleration of 0.4905 a final velocity after 4 seconds 1.962. It's height fallen after 4 seconds is 3.924.
( M = whatever the brick weighs it's not specified in the question)
(R = the distance from the ground or how high the scaffold is)
(hopefully you can just plug your numbers in there hope this helps)

This is a measure of quantity of matter
Answer:
Mass
Explanation:
Mass is the measure of amount of matter contained within any substance and hence mass determines the weight. Unit of mass is kilogram as per ISI system of units.
Mass is measured through a balance. The more is the mass of an object, the more the balance tilts towards the object side.
Weight is equal to product of mass and the gravitational constant i.e 9.8m/s^2

In order to get going fast, eagles will use a technique called stooping, in which they dive nearly straight down and tuck in their wings to reduce their surface area. While stooping, a 6- kg golden eagle can reach speeds of up to 53 m/s . While golden eagles are not very vocal, they sometimes make a weak, high-pitched sound. Suppose that while traveling at maximum speed, a golden eagle heads directly towards a pigeon while emitting a sound at 1.1 kHz. The emitted sound has a sound intensity level of 30 dB when heard at a distance of 5 m .A) Model this stooping golden eagle as an object moving at terminal velocity. The eagle’s drag coefficient is 0.5 and the density of air is 1.2 kg/m 3 . What is the effective cross-sectional area of the eagle’s body while stooping?B) What is the doppler-shifted frequency that the pigeon will hear coming from the eagle?C) Consider the moment when the pigeon is 5 m away from the eagle. At the pigeon’s position, what is the intensity (in W/m^2 ) of the sound the eagle makes?D) The golden eagle slams into the 250- g pigeon, which is initially moving at 10 m/s in the opposite direction (toward the eagle). The eagle grabs the pigeon in its talons, and they move off together in a perfectly inelastic collision. How fast do they move after the collision?
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
Part A
F = CA
this drag force balances the weight = 6X 9.8
so
6X9.8 = 0.5 X A X0.5 X 1.2 X 532
A= 0.069 m2
Part B
here the sorce is moving and the observer is at rest
so f= f(- 1 - 1
f = 1.1X10 343 343 – 53
f' = 1.3 KHz
Part C:
given the intensity = 30 dB
we know that I dB = 10 log (I(W/m2))
so we get I (W/m2) = 1000
Part D : The catch
Given that U1 = 53 M1 = 6 kg
U2 =-10 M2=0.25
V1=V2
now conserving momentum
6 X 53 -0.25 X10 =(6+0.25)V
V= 50.48 m/sec

A particular coil has 100 turns and a diameter of 6.0 m. When it's time for a measurement, a 4.5 A current is turned on. The large diameter of the coil means that the field in the water flowing directly above the center of the coil is approximately equal to the field in the center of the coil. The field is directed downward and the water is flowing east. The water is flowing above the center of the coil at 1.5 m/s .
What is the magnitude of the field at the center of the coil?
Answer:
The magnetic field at the center of the coil = 5.23 * 10 ^ -5 T
Explanation:
Information from the question:
Number of turns of the coil = 100 turns
The diameter of the coil = 6 m
The radius of the coil = diameter / 2 = 3 m
The coil current = 2.5 A
Formula : The Magnetic field at the center of the coil =
k * number of turns * current / 2 * radius
Therefore, The Magnetic field at the center of the coil=
(4 * [tex]\pi[/tex] * 10 ^ -7 * 100 * 2.5 ) / (2 * 3)
The Magnetic field at the center of the coil = 5.23 * 10 ^ -5 T
Find the frequency of the 4th harmonic waves on a violin string that is 48.0cm long with a mass of 0.300 grams
and is under a tension of 4.00N.
Answer:
The frequency of the 4th harmonic of the string is 481.13 Hz.
Explanation:
When a stretch string fixed at both ends is set into vibration, it produces its lowest sound of possible note called the fundamental frequency. Under certain conditions on the string, higher frequencies called harmonics or overtones can be produced.
The frequency of the forth harmonic is the third overtone of the string and can be determined by:
f = [tex]\frac{2}{L}[/tex][tex]\sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }[/tex]
Given that; L = 48.0 cm = 0.48 m,
m = 0.3 g = 0.0003 Kg,
T = 4.0 N,
f = [tex]\frac{2}{0.48}[/tex][tex]\sqrt{\frac{4}{0.0003} }[/tex]
f = 4.1667 × 115.4701
= 481.1252
f = 481.13 Hz
The frequency of the 4th harmonic of the string is 481.13 Hz.
One of your classmates, Kevin, is trying to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of Mt. Everest. Looking at an equation sheet, he sees that the acceleration due to gravity is g = G M r 2. For G, he plugs in the gravitational constant. For M, he plugs in the mass of the Earth. For r, Kevin plugs in the elevation (the height above sea level) of Mt. Everest. Will Kevin arrive at the right answer for g at the top of Mt Everest?
Answer:
no.
Explanation:
No because for M he put the mass of the earth instead of the mass of the object.
Kevin will not arrive at the right answer for g if he calculates the height from sea level, it must be from the center of the earth.
Gravitational acceleration:The force of gravity on an object of mass m is given by:
F = GMm/r²
where G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the earth
r is the distance from the center of the earth
This force is equal to the weight of the object given by:
mg = GMm/r²
so,
g = GM/r²
But here r is the distance of the object from the center of the earth not from the sea level.
So, Kevin will not arrive at the right answer for g if he calculates the height from sea level.

Two charged particles are accelerated through a uniform electric field and zero magnetic field, then enter a region with zero electric field and a uniform magnetic field. The particles start at rest from the same position (but at different times; they do not interact with each other). They have identical charges, but different masses. Particle 2 has a cyclotron radius 1.5 times as large as that of particle 1. Find ratio m2/m1
Answer:
Explanation:
In magnetic field , charged particle will have circular path . Let the radius of their circular path be r₁ and r₂ . Let their velocity at the time of entering magnetic field be v₁ and v₂ .
The velocity with which they will come out of electric field can be measured from following equation
Eq = 1/2 m v² , E is electric field , q is charge on the particle , m is mass and v is velocity .
v² = 2Eq / m
radius of circular path can be measured by the following expression
m v² / r = Bqv
2Eq / r = Bqv
r = 2Eq / Bqv
= 2E / Bv
r² = 4E² / B²v²
= 4E²m / B²x 2Eq
since E , B and q are constant
r² = K . m
r₂² / r₁² = m₂ / m₁
1.5²
m₂ / m₁ = 1.5²
= 2.25

At time t=0, the end has a maximum positive displacement and is instantaneously at rest. Assume no wave bounces back from the far end to change the pattern. What is the equation for the displacement of the wave? What is the displacement at a point 3.00m from the end .
Answer:
[tex]f(x=3.00m)=0.075mcos(\frac{2\pi(2.00Hz)}{v}(3.00m))[/tex]

A: amplitude of the wave = 0.075m
k: wave number
you select a cosine function because for x=0 and t= 0 you get a maximum displacement.
To find the displacement of the wave for x=0 you can consider that the form of the wave is independent of time t.
Then, you calculate k:
[tex]k=\frac{\omega}{v}=\frac{2\pi f}{v}[/tex]
Thus, you need the value of the speed of the wave (you only have the frequency f), in order to calculate f(x), for x=3.00m:
[tex]f(x=3.00m)=0.075mcos(\frac{2\pi(2.00Hz)}{v}(3.00m))[/tex]
