Answer:
Points away from the disk along the z-axis.
Explanation:
Along the axis of the disk, which is the z - axis, the total vertical electric field components of the charged disk sum up while the horizontal components cancel out. Thus, leaving only vertical components of electric field along the axis of the disk.
Since the disk is positively charged and electric field lines point away from a positive charge, the electric field along the axis of a positive disk of charge points away from the disk along the z-axis.

Two 2 kg masses is placed at either end of a rod that has a mass of .5 kg and a length of 3 m. What is the moment of inertia if the system it is rotated about (a) one end of the rod and (b) the center of the rod?
Explanation:
a) [tex]I=\displaystyle \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2[/tex]
where [tex]r_i[/tex] is the distance of the mass [tex]m_i[/tex] from the axis of rotation. When the axis of rotation is placed at the end of the rod, the moment of inertia is due only to one mass. Therefore,
[tex]I= mr^2 = (2\:kg)(3\:m)^2 = 18\:kg-m^2[/tex]
b) When the axis of rotation is placed on the center of the rod, the moment is due to both masses and the radius r is 1.5 m. Therefore,
[tex]\displaystyle I= \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2 = 2(2\:kg)(1.5\:m)^2 = 9\:kg-m^2[/tex]

Kulsum’s TV uses 45 W. How much does it cost her to watch TV for one month (30 days). She watches TV for 4 hours/day during mid-peak time (10.4 cents/kWh).
Answer:
Total cost = 56.16 cents
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Power = 45 Watts
Time = 4 hours
Number of days = 30 days
Cost = 10.4 cents
To find how much does it cost her to watch TV for one month;
First of all, we would determine the energy consumption of the TV;
Energy = power * time
Energy = 45 * 4
Energy = 180 Watt-hour = 180/1000 = 0.18 Kwh (1 Kilowatts is equal to 1000 watts).
Energy consumption = 0.18 Kwh
Next, we find the total cost;
Total cost = energy * number of days * cost
Total cost = 0.18 * 30 * 10.4
Total cost = 56.16 cents
Lauren pushed a crate of mass 28.9 kg a distance of 2.7 meters along a horizontal surface. On that part of the surface, the crate could slide with negligible friction. Lauren exerted a constant force of 121 newtons for 2.7 meters. The crate then slid down an inclined plane of height 1.8 meters, also with negligible friction. As the crate slid down the plane, the only significant forces on it were the normal force from the plane and gravity (with g = 9.81 meters per second squared). At the bottom of the incline, the crate began sliding along a horizontal surface with ordinary kinetic friction. The coefficient of friction between this surface and the crate was 0.41. This surface ended at a vertical wall after a distance of d2 = 5.2 meters but the crate did not slide that far. Attached to the vertical wall was a long ideal spring with length dy = 3.4 meters and a spring constant of 154 newtons per meter.
Required:
Calculate the distance that the crate compressed the spring before coming to rest.
Answer:
3.034 m
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of energy, the energy at the top of the incline equals the energy at the bottom of the incline since at the top of the incline, the horizontal surface is frictionless and along the incline there is no friction.
The work done in moving the crate a distance, d = 2.7 m with a force of F = 121 N to the top of the incline is W = Fd = 121 N × 2.7 m = 326.7 J.
From work-kinetic energy principles, this work W = kinetic energy of the crate at the top of the incline, K₁.
Now, the total mechanical energy at the top of the incline, E equals the total mechanical energy at the bottom of the incline E' since there is no friction along the incline.
So, E = E'
U₁ + K₁ = U₂ + K₂ where U₁ = potential energy of crate at top of incline = mgh where m = mass of crate = 28.9 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height of incline = 1.8 m, K₁ = kinetic energy of crate at top of incline = 326.7 J, U₂ = potential energy of crate at bottom of incline = 0 J(since it is at an elevation h = 0) and K₂ = kinetic energy of crate at bottom of incline
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
U₁ + K₁ = U₂ + K₂
mgh + K₁ = U₂ + K₂
28.9 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1.8 m + 326.7 J = 0 J + K₂
509.796 J + 326.7 J = K₂
K₂ = 836.496 J
K₂ ≅ 836.5 J
Now since the vertical wall is a distance d2 away and the long ideal spring has a length dy = 3.4 m, let x be the compression of the spring. So, the distance moved by the crate is thus D = d2 - dy - x.
Now, the change in kinetic energy of the crate ΔK equals the work done by friction and that done by the spring W.
So ΔK = -W (from work-kinetic energy principles)
Let W' = work done by friction = μmgD where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction between surface and crate = 0.41, m = mass of crate = 28.9 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and D = distance moved by crate = D = d2 - dy - x = 5.2 m - 3.4 m - x = 1.8 - x
So, W' = μmgD
W' = 0.41 × 28.9 kg × 9.8 m/s² (1.8 - x)
W' = 116.12(1.8 - x)
W' = 2090.16 - 116.12x
The work done by the spring W" = 1/2k(x₀² - x²) where k = spring constant = 154 N/m, x₀ = initial spring length = dy = 3.4 m and x = final spring compression.
So, W" = 1/2k(x₀² - x²)
W" = 1/2 × 154 N/m[(3.4 m)² - x²]
W" = 77 N/m[11.56 m² - x²]
W" = 890.12 - 77x²
So, W = W' + W"
W = 2090.16 - 116.12x + 890.12 - 77x²
W = 2980.28 - 116.12x - 77x²
Since the crate stops, final kinetic energy K₃ = 0. So, ΔK = K₃ - K₂ = 0 - 836.5 J = -836.5 J
Also, ΔK = -W
-836.5 = -(2980.28 - 116.12x - 77x²)
836.5 = 2980.28 - 116.12x - 77x²
77x² + 116.12 -2980.28 + 836.5 = 0
77x² + 116.12x -2143.78 = 0
dividing through by 77, we have
x² + 1.508x -27.841 = 0
Using the quadratic formula to find x, we have
[tex]x = \frac{-1.508 +/-\sqrt{1.508^{2} - 4 X 1 X (-27.841)} }{2 X 1.508} \\x = \frac{-1.508 +/-\sqrt{2.274064 + 111.364} }{3.016} \\x = \frac{-1.508 +/-\sqrt{113.638064} }{3.016} \\x = \frac{-1.508 +/- 10.66}{3.016} \\x = \frac{-1.508 - 10.66}{3.016} or x = \frac{-1.508 + 10.66}{3.016} \\x = \frac{-12.168}{3.016} or x = \frac{9.152}{3.016} \\x = -4.03 or 3.034[/tex]
x = -4.03 or 3.034
Since the compression of the spring is positive, we choose x = 3.034
So, the crate compresses the spring 3.034 m

object that are barely resolved? What is the corresponding distance
between image points? (b) How does the situation change if the lens is
“stopped down” to f>16? Use λ= 500 nm in both cases
Answer:
The minimum distance between two points on the object that are barely resolved is 0.26 mm
The corresponding distance between the image points = 0.0015 m
Explanation:
Given
focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f>2
s = 9.0 m
aperture = 25 mm = 25 *10^-3 m
Sin a = 1.22 *wavelength /D
Substituting the given values, we get –
Sin a = 1.22 *600 *10^-9 m /25 *10^-3 m
Sin a = 2.93 * 10 ^-5 rad
Now
Y/9.0 m = 2.93 * 10 ^-5
Y = 2.64 *10^-4 m = 0.26 mm
Y’/50 *10^-3 = 2.93 * 10 ^-5
Y’ = 0.0015 m
three people are standing by maintaining social distancing i.e 6 feet from each other. A doctor checks one person first then go to the other standing towards the east and then third person towards north. what will be the resultant displacement covered the doctor?
Answer:
8.5 feet.
Explanation:
A sketch of the position of the three people gives a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse of the triangle gives the resultant displacement, while the two other sides are 6 feet each.
The resultant displacement, R, is the overall displacement covered by the doctor. This can be determined by;
R = [tex]\sqrt{d_{1} ^{2} + d_{2} ^{2} }[/tex]
where: [tex]d_{1}[/tex] = 6 feet and [tex]d_{2}[/tex] = 6 feet.
Thus,
R = [tex]\sqrt{6^{2} + 6^{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{72}[/tex]
R = 8.49
The resultant displacement covered by the doctor is 8.5 feet.

Explanation:
A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and her takeoff point is 1.80 m above the pool. We assume the upward direction to be positive, and the downward direction to be negative.
(a) How long are her feet in the air?(b) What is her highest point above the board?(c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?
Answer:
(a) t = 1.14 s
(b) h = 0.82 m
(c) vf = 7.17 m/s
Explanation:
(b)
Considering the upward motion, we apply the third equation of motion:
[tex]2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2[/tex]
where,
g = - 9.8 m/s² (-ve sign for upward motion)
h = max height reached = ?
vf = final speed = 0 m/s
vi = initial speed = 4 m/s
Therefore,
[tex](2)(9.8\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(4\ m/s)^2\\[/tex]
h = 0.82 m
Now, for the time in air during upward motion we use first equation of motion:
[tex]v_f = v_i + gt_1\\0\ m/s = 4\ m/s + (-9.8\ m/s^2)t_1\\t_1 = 0.41\ s[/tex]
(c)
Now we will consider the downward motion and use the third equation of motion:
[tex]2gh = v_f^2-v_i^2[/tex]
where,
h = total height = 0.82 m + 1.8 m = 2.62 m
vi = initial speed = 0 m/s
g = 9.8 m/s²
vf = final speed = ?
Therefore,
[tex]2(9.8\ m/s^2)(2.62\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\[/tex]
vf = 7.17 m/s
Now, for the time in air during downward motion we use the first equation of motion:
[tex]v_f = v_i + gt_1\\7.17\ m/s = 0\ m/s + (9.8\ m/s^2)t_2\\t_2 = 0.73\ s[/tex]
(a)
Total Time of Flight = t = t₁ + t₂
t = 0.41 s + 0.73 s
t = 1.14 s
When it comes to the movement of air, friction
A. increases with altitude.
B. is greater near the ground surface.
C. diminishes turbulence.
D. is responsible for weaker winds aloft.
Answer: When it comes to the movement of air, friction is greater near the ground surface.
Explanation:
A resistance in motion observed by an object while on another object is called friction.
For example, a vehicle moving on road will have friction between its tires and the road.
Friction is more near the ground surface rather than away from the ground surface.
Thus, we can conclude that when it comes to the movement of air, friction is greater near the ground surface.
A pilot drops a package from a plane flying horizontally at a constant speed. Neglecting air resistance, when the package hits the ground the horizontal location of the plane will Group of answer choices be behind the package. be over the package. be in front of the package depend of the speed of the plane when the package was released.
Answer:
The location of helicopter is behind the packet.
Explanation:
As the packet also have same horizontal velocity as same as the helicopter, and also it has some vertical velocity as it hits the ground.
The horizontal velocity remains same as there is no force in the horizontal direction. The vertical velocity goes on increasing as acceleration due to gravity acts.
So, the helicopter is behind the packet.

A 2000-kg truck traveling at a speed of 6.0 m/s slows down to 4.0 m/s along a straight road. What
is the magnitude of the impulse?
The magnitude of the impulse of the truck is equal to 4000 Kg.m/s.
What is impulse?Impulse can be described as the integral of a force over the time interval for which it acts. Impulse is also a vector quantity since force is a vector quantity. Impulse can be applied to an object that generates an equivalent vector change in its linear momentum.
The S.I. unit of impulse is N⋅s and the dimensionally equivalent unit of momentum is kg⋅m/s. A resultant force gives acceleration and changes the velocity of an object for as long as it acts.
Given the mass of the truck, m= 2000 Kg
The initial speed of the truck, u = 6 m/s
The final speed of the truck, v = 4 m/s
The change in the linear momentum is equal to the impulse.
I = ΔP = mv - mu
I = 2000 ×4 - 2000 × 6
I = 8000 - 12000
I = - 4000 Kg.m/s²
Therefore, the magnitude of the impulse is 4000 Kg.m/s².

Answer:
M' = μ₀n₁n₂πr₂²
Explanation:
Since r₂ < r₁ the mutual inductance M = N₂Ф₂₁/i₁ where N₂ = number of turns of solenoid 2 = n₂l where n₂ = number of turns per unit length of solenoid 2 and l = length of solenoid, Ф₂₁ = flux in solenoid 2 due to magnetic field in solenoid 1 = B₁A₂ where B₁ = magnetic field due to solenoid 1 = μ₀n₁i₁ where μ₀ = permeability of free space, n₁ = number of turns per unit length of solenoid 1 and i₁ = current in solenoid 1. A₂ = area of solenoid 2 = πr₂² where r₂ = radius of solenoid 2.
So, M = N₂Ф₂₁/i₁
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
M = N₂Ф₂₁/i₁
M = N₂B₁A₂/i₁
M = n₂lμ₀n₁i₁πr₂²/i₁
M = lμ₀n₁n₂πr₂²
So, the mutual inductance per unit length is M' = M/l = μ₀n₁n₂πr₂²
M' = μ₀n₁n₂πr₂²

In addition to absorption of a photon, energy can be transferred to an atom by collision. Consider a hydrogen atom in its ground state. Incident on the atom are electrons having a kinetic energies of 10.5 eV. What is a possible result?
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In addition to absorption of a photon, energy can be transferred to an atom by collision. Consider a hydrogen atom in its ground state. Incident on the atom are electrons having a kinetic energies of 10.5 eV. What is a possible result?
A) The atom moves to a state of lower energy
B) The atom is ionized
C) One of the electrons leaves the atom
D) The atom can be excited to a higher energy state
Answer:
The atom can be excited to a higher energy state
Explanation:
According to the Bohr model of the atom, electrons in an atom can be excited from a lower to a higher energy level when energy is absorbed by the atom.
If electrons having an energy of 10.5ev are incident on a hydrogen atom, this energy is transferred to the atom by collision. Since the energy transferred is less than the ionization energy of hydrogen atom in its ground state(13.6ev), the atom is not ionized.
Rather, the atom is excited from ground state to a higher energy level.

Una pelota de basket es soltada desde 2.5 m de altura y rebota con una velocidad igual a 3/4 partes de la velocidad que llego. ¿ a qué altura alcanza la bola en el rebote ? ¿ cuánto tiempo transcurre desde que rebota ?
Answer:
Tenemos dos problemas a resolver acá:
Primero, debemos encontrar la velocidad con la que la pelota impacta el suelo.
Acá podemos usar la conservación de la energía.
E = U + K
U = energía potencial = m*g*H
m = masa
g = aceleración gravitatoria = 9.8m/s^2
H = altura
K = energía cinética = (m/2)*V^2
donde V es la velocidad.
Inicialmente, cuando la pelota es soltada, su velocidad es cero, entonces solo tenemos energía potencial:
Ei = U = m*(9.8m/s^2)*2.5m
Al final, cuando la pelota esta por impactar el suelo, la altura tiende a cero, entonces ya no hay energía potencial, solo hay energía cinética:
Ef = (m/2)*V^2
Y como la energía se conserva, la energía final es igual a la inicial, entonces:
m*(9.8m/s^2)*2.5m = (m/2)*V^2
Podemos resolver esto para V, y asi obtener la velocidad con la que la pelota impacta el suelo.
V = √(2*(9.8m/s^2)*2.5m) = 7m/s
Ahora respondamos la segunda parte.
Una vez la pelota rebota, su aceleración va a estar dada solamente por la aceleración gravitatoria, entonces tenemos:
A(t) = -9.8m/s^2
Para obtener su velocidad integramos:
V(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t + V0
donde V0 es la velocidad con la que la pelota reboto, que sabemos que es 3/4 de 7m/s
V0 = (3/4)*7m/s = (21/4) m/s
Así, la ecuación de la velocidad es:
V(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t + (21/4) m/s
Sabemos que la altura máxima se da cuando la velocidad es igual a cero, entonces primero calculemos el valor de t tal que esto ocurra:
V(t) = 0 = (-9.8m/s^2)*t + (21/4) m/s
t = (21/4) m/s/9.8m/s^2 = 0.54 s
Ahora debemos encontrar la ecuación de la posición y evaluarlo en este tiempo.
Para ello integramos de vuelta:
P(t) = (1/2)(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + (21/4 m/s)*t + P0
donde P0 es la posición inicial, como la pelota rebota en el suelo, la posición inicial es el suelo, el cual representamos con 0, entonces la ecuación de la posición es:
P(t) = (1/2)(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + (21/4 m/s)*t
La altura máxima estará dada por esta ecuación evaluada en t = 0.54 s
P(0.54s) = (1/2)(-9.8m/s^2)*(0.54s)^2 + (21/4 m/s)*0.54s = 1.81 m
La altura máxima es 1.81 metros.
Y entre que rebota y llega a esta altura máxima, transcurren 0.54 segundos.

A 15 000-N car on a hydraulic lift rests on a cylinder with a piston of radius 0.20 m. If a connecting cylinder with a piston of 0.040-m radius is driven by compressed air, what force must be applied to this smaller piston in order to lift the car
Answer:
the force applied to the smaller piston is 600 N
Explanation:
Given;
weight of the car, F = 15,000 N
radius of the lager piston, R = 0.2 m
radius of the smaller piston, r = 0.04 m
let the force applied to the smaller piston = f
The pressure applied on both piston is constant;
[tex]P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{f}{a} \\\\\frac{F}{R^2} = \frac{f}{r^2} \\\\f = \frac{F\times r^2}{R^2} = \frac{15,000 \times (0.04)^2}{(0.2)^2} = 600 \ N[/tex]
Therefore, the force applied to the smaller piston is 600 N
