the west. What is the velocity of the man according to a stationary observer?
A. 0.2 m/s north
B. 0.2 m/s west
C. 0.2 m/s South
D. 0.2 m/s east

Answers

Answer 1

When,a man stands still on a moving walkway that is going at a speed of 0.2 m/s to the west,then the velocity of the man according to a stationary observer would be 0.2 m/s west,Therefore, the correct answer would be option B.

What is Velocity?

The total displacement covered by any object per unit of time is known as velocity. The velocity of an object is depend on the magnitude as well as the direction of the object.

the mathematical expression for velocity is given by

velocity = total displacement /time

The speed and velocity of the object are very different from each other because speed does not depend upon the direction of the moving  object but velocity depends on the magnitude of speed as well as the direction of the moving object.

As per given in the problem a man stands still on a moving walkway that is going at a speed of 0.2 m/s to the west therefore from the perspective  of a stationary observer the velocity of man would be 0.2 m/s towards West.

Hence the correct options for the problem would be option B.

an electron is moving at 3.6 x 10^3 m/s. a photon with what wavelength would have the same momentum????

Answers

Answer:

The wavelength of the photon that would have the same momentum as the electron is 202.2180996 nm

Explanation:

The velocity of the electron, v = 3.6 × 10³ m/s

The momentum of an electron, [tex]p_e[/tex] = m × v

Where;

v = The mass of the electron = 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ kg

∴ [tex]p_e[/tex] = 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ kg × 3.6 × 10³ m/s = 3.27924 × 10⁻²⁷ kg·m/s

According to the de Broglie equation, the momentum of a photon, p, is given as follows;

p = h/λ

Where;

h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s

λ = The wavelength of the photon

∴ λ = h/p

According to the question, we have;

p = [tex]p_e[/tex] = 3.27924 × 10⁻²⁷ kg·m/s

∴ λ = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s/(3.27924 × 10⁻²⁷ kg·m/s) = 2.02180993 × 10⁻⁷ m

The wavelength of the photon, λ = 2.02180993 × 10⁻⁷ m = 202.2180993 × 10⁻⁹ m = 202.2180993 nm.

A parallel combination of a 1.47 μF capacitor and a 2.95 μF capacitor is connected in series to a 4.89 μF capacitor. This three‑capacitor combination is connected to a 15.5 V battery. Determine the charge on each capacitor.

Answers

Answer:

a. i. 35.96 μC  b. i. 11.98 μC ii. 24.04 μC

Explanation:

We need to find the total capacitance of the system C.

The total capacitance of the parallel combination of a 1.47 μF capacitor and a 2.95 μF capacitor is C' = 1.47 μF + 2.95 μF = 4.42 μF.

C' = 4.42 μF is in series with the 4.89 μF capacitor and for a series combination of capacitors, we have the total capacitance, C from

1/C = 1/4.42 μF + 1/4.89 μF

1/C = (4.42 μF + 4.89 μF)/(4.42 μF × 4.89 μF)

1/C = 9.31 μF/21.6138 μF²

C = 21.6138/9.31 μF

C = 2.32 μF

So, the total charge in the circuit Q = CV where C = total capacitance = 2.32 μF and v = voltage = 15.5 V

So, Q = CV

Q = 2.32 μF × 15.5 V

Q = 35.96 μC

i. The charge on the 4.89 μF capacitor

Since the 4.89 μF is in series with C', the total charge flowing i the circuit is the total charge in the 4.89 μF capacitor. So, its charge Q = 35.96 μC

b. The charge in the 1.47 μF and 2.95 μF capacitors.

To find the charge in the 4.89 μF and 2.95 μF capacitors, we need to find the voltage across the combined parallel combination of a 1.47 μF capacitor and a 2.95 μF capacitor. The voltage, V' across the 4.89 μF capacitor, since Q = CV', V' = Q/C = 35.96 μC/4.89 μF = 7.35 V

So, the voltage V" across the combined parallel combination of a 1.47 μF capacitor and a 2.95 μF capacitor, C' is V" = 15.5 V - V' (since V' + V" = 15.5 V).

So, V" = 15.5 V - V'

V" = 15.5 V - 7.35 V

V" = 8.15 V

i. The charge on the 1.47 μF capacitor

Using Q' = CV" where Q' = charge across capacitor, C = 1.47 μF and V" = 8.15 V.

So, Q' = CV"

Q' = 1.47 μF × 8.15 V

Q' = 11.98 μC

ii. The charge on the 2.95 μF capacitor

Using Q" = CV" where Q' = charge across capacitor, C = 2.95 μF and V" = 8.15 V.

So, Q" = CV"

Q" = 2.95 μF × 8.15 V

Q" = 24.04 μC

An oscillator completes 240 cycles in 5.2 minutes.
Calculate its period (in seconds) and frequency (in Hz).

Answers

Answer:

I. Period = 1.3 seconds

II. Frequency = 0.769 Hertz

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Number of oscillation = 240 cycles

Time = 5.2 minutes.

Conversion:

1 minute = 60 seconds

5.2 minutes = X seconds

X = 60 * 5.2

X = 312 seconds

To find the following;

I. Period

Mathematically, the number of oscillation of a pendulum is given by the formula;

[tex] Number \; of \; oscillation = \frac {Time}{Period} [/tex]

Making period the subject of formula, we have;

[tex] Period = \frac {Time}{Number \; of \; oscillation} [/tex]

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] Period = \frac {312}{240} [/tex]

Period = 1.3 seconds

II. Frequency

[tex] Frequency = \frac {1}{Period} [/tex]

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

[tex] Frequency = \frac {1}{1.3} [/tex]

Frequency = 0.769 Hertz

A cyclist goes round a circular path of circumference 343 m in s. The angle made by him, with the vertical is
WITH STEPS PLZ

Answers

you need the number of seconds to calculate the distance. I'm assuming that the seconds were written in the question but you forgot to write the here, you can calculate the distance then and find the exact point where the cyclist stopped since you have the circumference. then you can find the angle (after finding the distance he cycled) by subtracting it from 360 since the circular path will have an angle of 360 degrees.

Although your question lacks some data A general answer is provided :

The angle made vertically  = 360° - x°

where x = angle at which the the cyclist stopped

and circumference of the circular path = Total Distance travelled by the cyclist

First step : determine the distance travelled by the cyclist vertically

circumference = 2*π*r

343 = 2*π * r

∴ r = 343 / ( 2π ) = 54.59

therefore distance travelled by the cyclist vertically = 54.59 * 2 = 109.18 m

Given that the time travelled is missing

assuming the angle to the distance travelled by the cyclist before it stopped vertically = 360° - x°  

This is because the Total angle of a circular path = 360°

A car has a mass of 2000 kg. While it is traveling along a perfectly flat road, it goes around an unbanked turn that has a radius of 40.0 m. The coefficient of static friction between the car tires and the road is 0.500. The car travels successfully around the turn at a constant speed of 10.0 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the car's acceleration as it goes around the turn. _______ m/s^2

Answers

Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the car, m = 2,000 kg

The radius of the car, r = 40.0 m

The coefficient of friction between the car tires and the road, μ = 0.500

The constant speed with which the car moves, v = 10.0 m/s

The normal reaction of the road on the car, N = The weight of the car;

∴ N = m × g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

N ≈ 2,000 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 19,620 N

The frictional force, [tex]F_f[/tex] = μ × N

The centripetal force, [tex]F_c[/tex] = m·v²/r

The car moves without slipping when [tex]F_f[/tex] = [tex]F_c[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]F_f[/tex] = 0.500 × 19,620 N = 2,000 kg × [tex]v_{max}[/tex]²/40.0 m

∴ [tex]v_{max}[/tex] = √(0.500 × 19,620 N × 40.0 m/2,000 kg) ≈ 14.007 m/s

Therefore, the velocity with which the car moves, v < [tex]v_{max}[/tex]

The cars centripetal acceleration, [tex]a_c[/tex] = v²/r

∴ [tex]a_c[/tex] = (10.0 m/s)²/40.0 m = 2.5 m/s²

The cars centripetal acceleration as it goes round the turn, [tex]a_c[/tex] = 2.5 m/s².

Explanation:

From online sources, the speed in item 3 being referred to was discovered to be 7.62 m/s

Now, let's get the time of flight from one of Newton's equation of motion;

S = ut + ½gt²

Considering the vertical component, we have u = 0 m/s.

Thus;.

S = ½gt²

Plugging in the relevant values;

2.7 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

t² = 2.7/4.9

t = √(2.7/4.9)

t = 0.7423 s

Now, when we consider the horizontal component of the motion, we have;

S = vt

Where;

S is the distance the fish will travel horizontally before hitting the water.

v = 7.62 m/s

t = 0.7423

Thus

s = 7.62 × 0.7423

s ≈ 5.66 m
