A circus performer stretches a tightrope between two towers. He strikes one end of the rope and sends a wave along it toward the other tower. He notes that it takes 0.9 s for the wave to travel the 26 m to the opposite tower. If one meter of the rope has a mass of 0.28 kg, find the tension in the tightrope.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the tension in the tightrope is 233.68 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Time taken to reach the opposite tower t = 0.9 s

Distance between the two towers S = 26 m

mass per one meter length =  0.28 kg

First we calculate the velocity;

Velocity V = Distance / time

we substitute

Velocity V = 26 m / 0.9 s

Velocity V = 28.889 m/s

We know that Velocity V can also be expressed as;

V = √( T / m )

we make T the subject of formula

V² = T / m

T = mV²

we substitute

T = 0.28 × ( 28.889 )²

T = 233.68 N

Therefore,  the tension in the tightrope is 233.68 N

Force, F = 70 N

Height, h = 5 m

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the power of the object. We know that,

Power = work done/time

Put all the values,

So, the required power is 70 W.

An astronaut throws a wrench in interstellar space. How much force is required to keep the wrench moving continuously with constant velocity?
A.
a force equal to its weight on Earth
B.
a force equal to zero
C.
a force equal to half of its weight on Earth
D.
a force equal to double its weight on Earth

Answers

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

This is a trick question, the mass of the wrench would be 0 due to it being in space and has no gravitational pull to weight it down. And since acceleration is defined as the rate and change of velocity with no respect of time and the wrench is moving at a constant velocity, that means the velocity is 0. and since F = m*a it would be F = 0 * 0 = 0 N

The viscid silk produced by the European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) has a resilience of 0.35. If 10.0 J of work are done on the silk to stretch it out, how many Joules of work are released as thermal energy as it relaxes?

Answers

Answer: The energy released as thermal energy is 6.5 J

Explanation:

Energy stored by the spider when it relaxes is given by:

[tex]E_o=\text{Resilience}\times \text{Work}[/tex]

We are given:

Resilience = 0.35

Work done = 10.0 J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]E_o=0.35\times 10\\\\E_o=3.5J[/tex]

Energy released at thermal energy is the difference between the work done and the energy it takes to relaxes, which is given by the equation:

[tex]E_T=\text{Work done}-E_o[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]E_T=(10-3.5)=6.5J[/tex]

Hence, the energy released as thermal energy is 6.5 J

The energy released as thermal energy when 10 J of work is done to stretch silk will be 6.5 J

What is thermal energy?

Thermal energy refers to the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature. Heat is the flow of thermal energy.

Energy stored by the spider when it relaxes is given by:

[tex]\rm E_o=Resilience \ \times Work[/tex]

We are given:

Resilience = 0.35

Work done = 10.0 J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\rm E_o=0.35\times 10[/tex]

[tex]E_o=3.5\ J[/tex]

Energy released at thermal energy is the difference between the work done and the energy it takes to relaxes, which is given by the equation:

[tex]E_T=\rm Work done -E_o[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]E_T=(10-3.5)=6.5\ J[/tex]

Hence, the energy released as thermal energy is 6.5 J

A hockey puck is sliding across the ice with an initial velocity of 25 m/s. If the coefficient of friction between the hockey puck and the ice is 0.08, how much time (in seconds) will it take before the hockey puck slides to a stop

Answers

Answer: 31.89seconds

Explanation:

Based on the information given, we are meant to calculate deceleration which will be:

t = V/a

where, a = mg

Therefore, t = V/mg

t = 25/0.08 × 9.8

t = 25/0.784

t = 31.89seconds

Therefore, the time that it will take before the hockey puck slides to a stop is 31.89seconds.

A magnetic field of 0.276 T exists in the region enclosed by a solenoid that has 517 turns and a diameter of 10.5 cm. Within what period of time must the field be reduced to zero if the average magnitude of the induced emf within the coil during this time interval is to be 12.6 kV

Answers

Answer:

The period the field must be reduced to zero is 9.81 x 10⁻⁵ s

Explanation:

Given;

initial value of the magnetic field, B₁ = 0.276 T

number of turns of the solenoid, N = 517 turns

diameter of the solenoid, d = 10.5 cm = 0.105 m

induced emf, = 12.6 kV = 12,600 V

when the field becomes zero, then the final magnetic field value, B₂ = 0

The induced emf is given by Faraday's law;

[tex]emf = -\frac{NA\Delta B}{t} \\\\emf = -\frac{NA (B_2 -B_1)}{t} \\\\t = -\frac{NA (B_2 -B_1)}{emf}\\\\t = \frac{NA (B_1 -B_2)}{emf}\\\\where;\\\\t \ is \ the \ time \ when \ B = 0 \ \ (i.e\ B_2 = 0)\\\\A \ is \ the \ area \ of \ the \ coil\\\\A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi (0.105)^2}{4} = 0.00866 \ m^2\\\\t= \frac{(517) \times (0.00866)\times (0.276 -0)}{12,600}\\\\t = 9.81 \times 10^{-5} \ s[/tex]

Therefore, the period the field must be reduced to zero is 9.81 x 10⁻⁵ s

What are you trying to even say?

The acceleration of the car with two (2) washers added is equal to 0.33 [tex]m/s^2[/tex].

Given the following data:

Initial velocity = 0.13 m/s.Final velocity = 0.36 m/s.Initial time = 1.92 seconds.Final time = 2.61 seconds.

What is an acceleration?

An acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time and it is measured in meter per seconds square.

How to calculate average acceleration.

In Science, the average acceleration of an object is calculated by subtracting its initial velocity from the final velocity and dividing by the change in time for the given interval.

Mathematically, average acceleration is given by this formula:

[tex]a = \frac{V\;-\;U}{t_f-t_i}[/tex]

Where:  

V is the final velocity.U is the initial velocity.[tex]t_i[/tex]initial time measured in seconds.[tex]t_f[/tex] final time measured in seconds.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]a = \frac{0.36\;-\;0.13}{2.61\;-\;1.92}\\\\a=\frac{0.23}{0.69}[/tex]

a = 0.33 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

A mass of 4 kg is traveling over a quarter circular ramp with a radius of 10 meters. At the bottom of the incline the mass is moving at 21.3 m/s and at the top of the incline the mass is moving at 2.8 m/s. What is the work done by all non-conservative force in Joules?

Answers

Answer:

499.7 J

Explanation:

Since total mechanical energy is conserved,

U₁ + K₁ + W₁ = U₂ + K₂ + W₂ where U₁ = potential energy at bottom of incline = mgh₁, K₁ = kinetic energy at bottom of incline = 1/2mv₁² and W₁ = work done by friction at bottom of incline, and U₂ = potential energy at top of incline = mgh₂, K₁ = kinetic energy at top of incline = 1/2mv₂² and W₂ = work done by friction at top of incline. m = mass = 4 kg, h₁ = 0 m, v₁ = 21.3 m/s, W₁ = 0 J, h₂ = radius of circular ramp = 10 m, v₂ = 2.8 m/s, W₂ = unknown.

So, U₁ + K₁ + W₁ = U₂ + K₂ + W₂

mgh₁ + 1/2mv₁²  + W₁ = mgh₂ + 1/2mv₂²  + W₂

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

mgh₁ + 1/2mv₁²  + W₁ = mgh₂ + 1/2mv₂²  + W₂

4 kg × 9.8 m/s²(0) + 1/2 × 4 kg × (21.3 m/s)²  + 0 = 4 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 10 m + 1/2 × 4 kg × (2.8 m/s)²  + W₂

0 + 2 kg × 453.69 m²/s² = 392 kgm²/s² + 2 kg × 7.84 m²/s²  + W₂

907.38 kgm²/s² = 392 kgm²/s² + 15.68 kgm²/s²  + W₂

907.38 kgm²/s² = 407.68 kgm²/s² + W₂

W₂ = 907.38 kgm²/s² - 407.68 kgm²/s²

W₂ = 499.7 kgm²/s²

W₂ = 499.7 J

Since friction is a non-conservative force, the work done by all the non-conservative forces is thus W₂ = 499.7 J

An electric drill starts from rest and rotates with a constant angular acceleration. After the drill has rotated through a certain angle, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of a point on the drill is 8.2 times the magnitude of the tangential acceleration. What is the angle?

Answers

Answer:

The angle is 4.1 rad.

         

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration (α) is given by:

[tex] \alpha = \omega^{2} r [/tex]    (1)                  

Where:

ω: is the angular velocity  

r: is the radius

And the tangential acceleration (a) is:                      

[tex] a = \alpha r [/tex]      (2)

Since the magnitude of "α" is 8.2 times the magnitude of "a" (equating (2) and (1)) we have:

[tex] \omega^{2} r = 8.2\alpha r   [/tex]

[tex] \omega^{2} = 8.2\alpha [/tex]    (3)      

Now, we can find the angle with the following equation:

[tex] \omega_{f}^{2} = \omega_{0}^{2} + 2\alpha \Delta \theta [/tex]

Where:

[tex] \omega_{f}[/tex]: is the final angular velocity                                                                              [tex] \omega_{0}[/tex]: is the initial angular velocity = 0 (it starts from rest)

[tex]\Delta \theta[/tex]: is the angle

[tex] \omega^{2} = 2\alpha \Delta \theta [/tex]     (4)    

By entering equation (3) into (4) we can calculate the angle:

[tex] 8.2\alpha = 2\alpha \Delta \theta [/tex]

[tex] \Delta \theta = 4.1 rad [/tex]

Therefore, the angle is 4.1 rad.

A 5 kg box drops a distance of 10 m to the ground. If 70% of the initial potential energy goes into increasing the internal energy of the box, determine the magnitude of the increase.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The initial PE [tex](PE)_i[/tex] = m×g×h

= 5 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 10 m

= 490.5 J

The change in Potential energy P.E of the box is:

ΔP.E = [tex]P.E_f -P.E_i[/tex]

ΔP.E = 0 - [tex](PE)_i[/tex]

ΔP.E = [tex]-P.E_i[/tex]

If we take a look at conservation of total energy for determining the change in the internal energy of the box;

[tex]\Delta P.E + \Delta K.E + \Delta U = 0[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U = -\Delta P.E - \Delta K.E[/tex]

this can be re-written as:

[tex]\Delta U =- (-\Delta P.E_i) - \Delta K.E[/tex]

Here, K.E = 0

Also, 70% goes into raising the internal energy for the box;

Thus,

[tex]\Delta U =(70\%) \Delta P.E_i-0[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U =(0.70) (490.5)[/tex]

ΔU = 343.35  J

Thus, the magnitude of the increase is = 343.35 J

reviews the general principles in this problem. A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 13.0 ° above the horizontal. It returns to ground level. To what value should the launch angle be adjusted, without changing the launch speed, so that the range doubles?

Answers

Answer: θ would equal approximately 28.7°

This is a kinematics problem, where one is only given the theta value 13.0° in regards to the range; thus, the problem is testing one's understanding of the relationships between the variables.

Range (aka x) = (v₀ sin (2θ₀))/g, where θ₀ = 13.0°

Now if we multiply the range by 2, we get:

2x = 2((v₀ sin (2θ₀))/g) → to verbalize, if range equates to (v₀ sin (2θ₀))/g, and doubling the range equals twice the product value, then:

2θ = sin⁻¹(2sin(2(13.0° )) = sin⁻¹(2(0.76255845048)) = sin⁻¹ (1.52511690096) = 57.35560850015109°/2 = θ

Thus, θ = 28.67780425
