A 1500 kg car traveling at 20 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver immediately puts the car in neutral so that it will roll.
What will be the car’s speed as it coasts into the gas station on the other side of the valley?
Answer:
v_f = 17.4 m / s
Explanation:
For this exercise we can use conservation of energy
starting point. On the hill when running out of gas
Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₁
final point. Arriving at the gas station
Em_f = K + U = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v₀ ² + m g y₁ = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂
v_f ² = v₀² + 2g (y₁ -y₂)
we calculate
v_f ² = 20² + 2 9.8 (10 -15)
v_f = √302
v_f = 17.4 m / s

A hummingbird flaps its wings up to 70 times per second, producing a 70 Hz
hum as it flies by. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, how far does the sound
travel between wing flaps?
= 4.86 m
= 58.9 m
= 0.206 m
= 23,800 m
Answer:
4.86 m
Explanation:
Given that,
The frequency produced by a humming bird, f = 70 Hz
The speed of sound, v = 340 m/s
We need to find how far does the sound travel between wing flaps. Let the distance is equal to its wavelength. So,
[tex]v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{340}{70}\\\\\lambda=4.86\ m[/tex]
So, the sound travel 4.86 m between wings flaps.
How does the theory of relativity explain the gravity exerted by massive objects?
A. More massive objects create stronger forces of gravity.
B. More massive objects create shallower curves of space-time.
C. More massive objects pull objects from farther away.
D. More massive objects create larger curves of space-time.
(D)
Explanation:
The more massive an object is, the greater is the curvature that they produce on the space-time around it.
The theory of relativity explain the gravity exerted by massive objects is
more massive objects create larger curves of space-time (option-d).
Do bigger objects exert more gravity?The term "gravitational force" refers to the attraction between masses. The gravitational force increases in size as the masses get bigger (also called the gravity force). As the distance between masses grows, the gravitational force progressively lessens.
Greater gravitational forces will be used to attract heavier things since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects. Therefore, when two things' respective masses increase, so does their gravitational pull to one another.

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC
Take the coefficient of expansion to be 25 x 10-6 (oC)-1 . Write the answer in meters with three significant figures
Answer:
ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m
Explanation:
This is a thermal expansion exercise
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT
ΔT = T_f - T₀
where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature
Let's reduce the length to SI units
L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m
let's calculate
ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))
ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m
using the criterion of three significant figures
ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m
1. On each of your equipotential maps, draw some electric field lines with arrow heads indicating the direction of the field. (Hint: At what angle do field lines intersect equipotential lines?) Draw sufficient field lines that you can "see" the electric field.
Answer:
The angle between the electric field lines and the equipotential surface is 90 degree.
Explanation:
The equipotential surfaces are the surface on which the electric potential is same. The work done in moving a charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface is always zero.
The electric field lines are always perpendicular to the equipotential surface.

The earth's radius is about 4000 miles. Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and Singapore are both nearly on the equator. The distance between them is 5000 miles as measured along the earth's surface.
a. Through what angle do you turn, relative to the earth, if you fly from Kampala to Singapore? Give your answer in both radians and degrees.
b. The flight from Kampala to Singapore take 9 hours. What is the plane's angular speed relative to the earth?
Answer:
a) the required angle in both radian and degree is 1.25 rad and 71.6°
b) the plane's angular speed relative to the earth is 3.86 × 10⁻⁵ rad/sec
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
a)
we know that The expression for the angle subtended by an arc of circle at the center of the circle is,
θ = Length / radius
given that Length is 5000 miles and radius is 4000 miles
we substitute
θ = 5000 miles / 4000 miles
θ = 1.25 rad
Radian to Degree
θ = 1.25 rad × ( 180° / π rad )
θ = 71.6°
Therefore, required angle in both radian and degree is 1.25 rad and 71.6°
b)
The flight from Kampala to Singapore take 9 hours.
the plane's angular speed relative to the earth = ?
we know that, the relation between angular velocity and angular displacement is;
ω = θ / t
given that θ is 1.25 rads and time t is 9 hours or ( 9 × 3600 sec ) = 32400 sec
we substitute
ω = 1.25 rad / 32400 sec
ω = 3.86 × 10⁻⁵ rad/sec
Therefore, the plane's angular speed relative to the earth is 3.86 × 10⁻⁵ rad/sec

F = m a
the centripetal acceleration is
a = w² r
indicate that the force is the mass of the body times the acceleration
F = m 0.58g = m 0.58 9.8
F = 5.684 m
we substitute
5.684 m = m w² r
w = [tex]\sqrt{5.684/r}[/tex]
To finish the calculation we must suppose a cylinder radius, suppose it has r = 5 m
w = [tex]\sqrt{ 5.684/5}[/tex]

When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV1.4=C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 420 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 99 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 7 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant?
Answer:
[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=21.21cm^3/min[/tex]
Explanation:
We are given that
[tex]PV^{1.4}=C[/tex]
Where C=Constant
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt}=-7KPa/minute[/tex]
V=420 cubic cm and P=99KPa
We have to find the rate at which the volume increasing at this instant.

Substitute the values
[tex](420)^{1.4}\times (-7)+1.4(420)^{0.4}(99)\frac{dV}{dt}=0[/tex]
[tex]1.4(420)^{0.4}(99)\frac{dV}{dt}=(420)^{1.4}\times (7)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{(420)^{1.4}\times (7)}{1.4(420)^{0.4}(99)}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=21.21cm^3/min[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\dot V=2786.52~cm^3/min[/tex]
Explanation:
Given:
initial pressure during adiabatic expansion of air, [tex]P_1=99~kPa[/tex]
initial volume during the process, [tex]V_1=420~cm^3[/tex]
The adiabatic process is governed by the relation [tex]PV^{1.4}=C[/tex] ; where C is a constant.
Rate of decrease in pressure, [tex]\dot P=7~kPa/min[/tex]
Then the rate of change in volume, [tex]\dot V[/tex] can be determined as:
[tex]P_1.V_1^{1.4}=\dot P.\dot V^{1.4}[/tex]
[tex]99\times 420^{1.4}=7\times V^{1.4}[/tex]
[tex]\dot V=2786.52~cm^3/min[/tex]
[tex]\because P\propto\frac{1}{V}[/tex]
[tex]\therefore[/tex] The rate of change in volume will be increasing.

The working substance of a certain Carnot engine is 1.90 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
930 in each cycle.
Compute the temperatures of the two reservoirs between which this engine
operates.
Answer:
Explanation:
The energy for an isothermal expansion can be computed as:
[tex]\mathsf{Q_H =nRTIn (\dfrac{V_b}{V_a})}[/tex] --- (1)
However, we are being told that the volume of the gas is twice itself when undergoing adiabatic expansion. This implies that:
[tex]V_b = 2V_a[/tex]
Equation (1) can be written as:
[tex]\mathtt{Q_H = nRT_H In (2)}[/tex]
Also, in a Carnot engine, the efficiency can be computed as:
[tex]\mathtt{e = 1 - \dfrac{T_L}{T_H}}[/tex]
[tex]e = \dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H}[/tex]
In addition to that, for any heat engine, the efficiency e =[tex]\dfrac{W}{Q_H}[/tex]
relating the above two equations together, we have:
[tex]\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} = \dfrac{W}{Q_H}[/tex]
Making the work done (W) the subject:
[tex]W = Q_H \Big(\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} \Big)[/tex]
From equation (1):
[tex]\mathsf{W = nRT_HIn(2) \Big(\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} \Big)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{W = nRIn(2) \Big(T_H-T_L} \Big)}[/tex]
If we consider the adiabatic expansion as well:
[tex]PV^y[/tex] = constant
i.e.
[tex]P_bV_b^y = P_cV_c^y[/tex]
From ideal gas PV = nRT
we can have:
[tex]\dfrac{nRT_H}{V_b}(V_b^y)= \dfrac{nRT_L}{V_c}(V_c^y)[/tex]
[tex]T_H = T_L \Big(\dfrac{V_c}{V_b}\Big)^{y-1}[/tex]
From the question, let us recall aw we are being informed that:
If the volumes changes by a factor = 5.7
Then, it implies that:
[tex]\Big(\dfrac{V_c}{V_b}\Big) = 5.7[/tex]
∴
[tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{y-1}[/tex]
In an ideal monoatomic gas [tex]\gamma = 1.6[/tex]
As such:
[tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{1.6-1}[/tex]
[tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{0.67}[/tex]
Replacing the value of [tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{0.67}[/tex] into equation [tex]\mathsf{W = nRIn(2) \Big(T_H-T_L} \Big)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{W = nRT_L In(2) (5.7 ^{0.67 }-1}})[/tex]
From in the question:
W = 930 J and the moles = 1.90
using 8.314 as constant
Then:
[tex]\mathsf{930 = (1.90)(8.314)T_L In(2) (5.7 ^{0.67 }-1}})[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{930 = 15.7966\times 1.5315 (T_L )})[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{T_L= \dfrac{930 }{15.7966\times 1.5315}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{T_L \simeq = 39 \ K}[/tex]
From [tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{0.67}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{T_H = 39 (5.7)^{0.67}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{T_H \simeq 125K}[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]d_2=1.5*10^-3m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Initial Wavelength [tex]\lambda_1=550nm=550*10^{-9}[/tex]
Space 1 [tex]d_1=2.3*10^{-3}[/tex]
Final wavelength [tex]\lambda_2=360*10^{-9}[/tex]
Generally the equation for Fringe space at [tex]\lambda _2[/tex] is mathematically given by
[tex]d_2=\frac{d_1}{\lambdaI_1}*\lambda_2[/tex]
[tex]d_2=\frac{2.3*10^{-3}}{550*10^{-9}}*360*10^{-9}[/tex]

A car is moving at a speed of 60 mi/hr (88 ft/sec) on a straight road when the driver steps on the brake pedal and begins decelerating at a constant rate of 10ft/s2 for 3 seconds. How far did the car go during this 3 second interval?
Answer:
219 ft
Explanation:
Here we can define the value t = 0s as the moment when the car starts decelerating.
At this point, the acceleration of the car is given by the equation:
A(t) = -10 ft/s^2
Where the negative sign is because the car is decelerating.
To get the velocity equation of the car, we integrate over time, to get:
V(t) = (-10 ft/s^2)*t + V0
Where V0 is the initial velocity of the car, we know that this is 88 ft/s
Then the velocity equation is:
V(t) = (-10 ft/s^2)*t + 88ft/s
To get the position equation we need to integrate again, this time we get:
P(t) = (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (88ft/s)*t + P0
Where P0 is the initial position of the car, we do not know this, but it does not matter for now.
We want to find the total distance that the car traveled in a 3 seconds interval.
This will be equal to the difference in the position at t = 3s and the position at t = 0s
distance = P(3s) - P(0s)
= ( (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*(3s)^2+ (88ft/s)*3s + P0) - ( (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*(0s)^2 + (88ft/s)*0s + P0)
= ( (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*9s^2+ (88ft/s)*3s + P0) - ( P0)
= (1/2)*(-10 ft/s^2)*9s^2+ (88ft/s)*3s = 219ft
The car advanced a distance of 219 ft in the 3 seconds interval.

Answer: hello your question lacks some vital information below is the complete question
Suppose a power plant uses a Carnot engine to generate electricity, using the atmosphere at 300 K as the low-temperature reservoir. Suppose the power plant produces 1 × 106 J of electricity with the hot reservoir at 500 K during Day One and then produces 1 × 106 J of electricity with the hot reservoir at 600 K during Day Two. The thermal pollution was
answer:
Total thermal pollution = 2.5 * 10^6 J
Explanation:
Low temperature reservoir = 300 K
hot reservoir temperature = 500 K
Electrical energy produced by plant ( W ) = 1 * 10^6 J
lets assume ; Q1 = energy absorbed , Q2 = energy emitted
W = Q1 - Q2 or Q2 = Q1 - W ( we will apply this as the formula for determining thermal pollution )
For day 1
T1 = 500k , T2 = 300k
applying Carnot engine formula
W / Q1 = 1 - T2/T1
∴ Q1 = 10^6 / ( 1 - (300/500)) = 2.5 * 10^6 J
thermal pollution ; Q2 = Q1 - W = ( 2.5 * 10^6 - 1 * 10^6 ) = 1.5 * 10^6 J
for Day 2
T1 = 600k, T2 = 300k
Q1 = 10^6 / ( 1 - (300/600)) = 2 * 10^6 J
Thermal pollution; Q2 = Q1 - W = 1 * 10^6 J
Therefore the Total thermal pollution = 1 * 10^6 + 1.5 * 10^6 = 2.5 * 10^6 J
